West Ham United’s performance in the Premier League this season has been relatively sub-par. The Hammers have managed to scrape out results here and there but have yet to gather any real momentum. Meanwhile, Arsenal Football Club has been brilliant, establishing themselves as a force to be reckoned with. The Hammers let go of their […]
Arsenal have made yet another bright start to the Premier League, showing some of the promise they made last season. Meanwhile, West Ham United have had to endure a rocky start to their campaign. The Gunners opened the exit door very wide over the summer, letting go of many long-time squad members. Most notably, Granit […]
Not fun, don’t care Positives, Needs and Hopes Well, actually I did care during the game. I didn’t necessarily need to be entertained but I did need to feel like we were trying to win. So, let’s get the honesty out of the way. During the games I make copious notes. I make columns based […]
The classic rivalry between Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson is remembered as one of the key battles of the Premier League era. The war of wits between the two managers and the angry words often exchanged were almost as thrilling as the action on the field. But Ferguson’s retirement in 2013 broke up the rivalry, […]
In a few short hours we take on West Ham and it’s fair to say this game doesn’t look nearly as straightforward as it did two weeks ago. Back then we have battered Huddersfield at home while West Ham was at the wrong end of a pasting at Goodison Park. This in itself tells you […]
Another win, another home clean sheet. I think I can get used to that. Pity the season is almost over, we’ve just about found our groove. West Brom didn’t do us any favours at the Etihad, so Man City are basically out of reach. There are five goals between the teams, so we’ll need to […]
So, West Ham didn’t do us any favours on Sunday and were comprehensively thrashed by Liverpool. Lazy bastards. Probably still hold a grudge for the two beatings we dished out to them. In all honesty though, this situation is ours fault, and ours alone. Just think about it: of the 36 games we’ve dropped points […]
A Gooner’s View of Other Clubs of The 2014-15 Season Part 8 Hi everyone. This is part eight of my series of blogs about the status of the Premiership Clubs of the 2014-2015 Season following the conclusion of the League season. In this blog, I’ll be focusing on Manchester United. Of course, all of this […]
Many now refer to the international break as the ‘interlull’ – wholly down to arseblog – but for me the last week or so has been quite refreshing. Once the hysteria of the loss to Swansea died down then everything just became rather placid and I have a void in my locker, a void that […]
Anti Social Media Behaviour Well fuck me, that went well. What a disastrous start to a season. Gone be with the days where we could look at these first 8 or 9 fixtures and confidently say – “nice, 7 or 8 wins before we meet any of the top teams”. Gone be with the days […]
