A month back, almost to the day, I’ve read an interesting article from @7amkickoff which stated, in unequivocal terms, that Arsenal WILL get back to their best, that they WILL become much, much better at finishing the chances they create. The reason was very simple: every team has a certain amount of chances created, shots, […]
Stoke I never felt that Stoke were a threat last weekend, partly because they have a terrible record against us at the Emirates, but mostly because they were without two of their best players in Affelay & Adam, whilst Bojan still doesn’t seem to have recovered from his injury last year and didn’t start the […]
Ready for a rumble, Gunners? Yesterday’s game proved that the Champions League could be even more surprising than the Premier League – with Manchester City losing at home to Juventus and Manchester United defeated by PSV. Tonight’s game against Dinamo Zagreb will tell a lot about our guys and their mental strength, because we have […]
Hi All, I had to write this for cathartic reasons!! So, the transfer window light has been flicked off and we are shufflling out of the other side blinking, squinting and staring into the new dawn. On the face of it, Arsenal have a nice, solid looking squad of twenty six. Goalkeepers – Cech, Ospina and presumably […]
I have five replica Arsenal shirts hanging in my bedroom wardrobe, one of which I am proud to wear, and four I am not. For the sake of continuity, over the years I always ensured I purchased large versions of each jersey for the simple sake of re-use. I found out – probably the hard […]
Important note: I have written this article back in May and opted not to publish it then. The reason for this was because at the last possible minute I found out the manner in which Flamini left Arsenal in 2008 – by allowing his contract to run out and seeking pastures new and more glorious […]
Are you scratching your heads after reading the title? Or do you think yours truly has completely gone off the rails and thinks Bielik is ready for the step-up? In fact the answer is much simpler – and it doesn’t involve a 17-year-old to making a breakthrough anytime soon. Though I’ve heard reports about him […]
We can all smell it – He can smell it – We are on the verge. It’s now about execution and belief. What does Arsene do now? He has this new wonderful team that is fluid, intelligent and technically arrogant – but also starting to show the mentality required to win. But football has changed. […]
“We are not going to challenge unless we buy a DM and that world-class striker. Giroud is not good enough to win us the league, while we are one injury away from using Arteta whose legs have gone”. Apparently Arteta’s legs have left Colney in Diaby’s pockets on his way out, but I’m not here […]
DB’s Silly Season Diary Returns….. #WhoopsWeDidItHiguain Well, this is it. The window is officially open, the Copa whatever it’s called is finished, and pre-season training has begun. So we can expect a flurry of transfer activity over the next few weeks, and we are well within our rights to stamp our feet and shake our fists […]
