Chelsea vs. Arsenal Stamford Bridge – 17th Sept. 2017 Premier League Preview I think in some ways, Chelsea vs. Arsenal is becoming secondary to Arsenal and Spurs. 10 years ago, or more for that matter, Arsenal fans viewed Chelsea as just another London club. Like a West Ham, Palace, or QPR. But I think, on […]
Brilliantly inspired by Dave’s blog about Jack Wilshere (by the way: it’s not Wiltshere, it’s not Wilshire, it’s Wilshere. The number of times his name is misspelled is appalling), I started thinking about how our former academy gem could actually re-build his career at the Arsenal. Our man has quite some way to go after […]
My 7-month stint writing for weekly for Football London is over and my house move is behind me so you will hearing more from me back here on GT. There are a few subjects on my mind, most of which have been discussed ad infinitum so the end of the summer transfer window closed to […]
Arsenal concluded their pre-season ahead of the 2017/18 Premier League season by losing 2-1 against Sevilla, but also lifted the Emirates Cup in the process. The fixture between the two sides saw summer signing Alexandre Lacazette make his first official start for the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium. Arsene Wenger maintained his faith in Mohamed […]
The high of Arsenal’s brilliant performance at Stoke City on Saturday soon made way, at least in some quarters, on Sunday, when Liverpool eased to victory over a poor West Ham United side. Three points for the Reds effectively ended the Gunners hopes of playing Champions League football yet again next season, with only an extremely […]
Howdy. We face Crystal Palace today and it’s another must-win situation for us. I’m talking more our future prospects here than a need to win because of a shambolic run. Our last five league games will be extremely tough to get all 15 points from (Spurs, United, Everton, Stoke and Soton in there somewhere), so […]
Hello again everyone, hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Always made better with a win (and a Spurs loss!). So, as expected we stuttered through another home game and got, some may say, rather fortunate in the end to take the 3 points. I’m not going to go into much detail on the game itself, […]
Howdy. It’s Hull we face on Saturday, while all being preoccupied with one single question: is there life after death? Well, strictly speaking it’s what point there is in the rest of the campaign after a failed title bid?, but I just wanted to add a bit of drama. Because clearly there is not enough […]
. There is nothing more telling than having rival supporters taunt you, by singing songs about wanting your manager to stay. After another visit to Stamford Bridge resulted in yet another defeat, it came as no surprise to hear choruses of “Arsene Wenger, we want you stay” reverberating around the stadium. Sadly, the defeat itself […]
One thing that I have noticed over the last few matches, particularly so in the Premier League match away to A.F.C. Bournemouth and the away F.A. Cup tie with Preston North End is that Arsenal seem to struggle with starting quickly in matches. All too often, we see a lot of sluggishness in the opening […]
