What did 2020 ever do for us? It’s been a facked up year, but when things are hard, there’s always a learning opportunity to be had. Here’s what I learnt from 2020. A decent, thoughtful manager, makes a shed load of difference After all these years, our defence is still pants! […]
So it’s here – a potential record 14th FA Cup is in the waiting. Certain clubs haven’t won an FA Cup in nearly thirty years. We know better! Let’s show them what clubs of true standing exist for – winning. We’ve won two previous FA Cup finals vs. Chelsea – 2002 and 2017. […]
This Saturday’s final seems to have similarities to last year’s horror show in Baku. Chelsea came into the final last year under no pressure since champions league qualification was already secured. The impetus was on us as only a win in Baku would be enough to secure a place in Europe’s most elite competition. We […]
An FA Cup Final Preview with a difference will give you the inside track on our West London rivals Chelsea ahead of the big day. I was delighted to catch up with my old sparring partner, Chelsea FanCast Presenter/Producer and CFC write for the CFCUK Fanzone and Football.London, David Chidgey (@StamfordChidge) DS – Good afternoon […]
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the % game. With the transfers window now open and in an attempt to take my mind off the upcoming FA Cup Final against Chelsea, I tried to assess the current squad and see how many chances each player has to still be at the Club, next season. It […]
The business Arsenal do in this transfer window will dictate their 2020/21 premier league destiny. Chelsea’s inability to make signings last year because of the transfer ban means they will be spending big and addressing key areas within their squad. They have already started with the acquisitions of Ziyech and Werner! Manchester United are a […]
Tactical tweaks and flexibility are key to Arteta’s Arsenal It’s clear for all to see that Arteta has improved us defensively. It was only a few months ago that this group of players was being described as ‘uncoachable’ and totally written off. Although I’m under no illusions as to our current standing as a top half […]
The Gunners worst placed finish in the Premier League since 1995 was confirmed on Sunday afternoon, after a less than convincing win against a Watford side that were desperately fighting for survival meant Arteta’s side could only finish as high as 8th. Not many could have foreseen how tough this campaign would be for Arsenal, […]
Even before the FA Cup Final this weekend, and therefore before Arsenal’s season is over and their European football fate determined, the transfer gossip is rife. Today it is mostly around the news that the club have an option to extend Aubameyang’s stay but may not exercise it. However, there is also (as there is […]
I am afraid I am not entirely in agreement with the current positivity on our club. We have just completed two very shaky matches against Aston Villa and Watford. There was very little evidence of the dedication or talent I have seen described in recent Gunners Town blogs. 3- 0 up against the second worst […]
