To follow on from Part 1 I promised to look at where the limited budget might be spent, if I believe it will not go on the winger most fans feel we want. For me it is increasingly apparent, that for the moment at least, Emery sees the width in this team being provided by […]
I’ve enjoyed some of the most recent takes from fellow contributors to this blog, especially those that came in after the unexpected home draw against Wolves, the third consecutive draw in the league and the second in a row at the Emirates Stadium. Although it is pleasant to watch the Arsenal fight back from an […]
Arsenal 2-0 Watford – review We had the “cojones” today. We are neighbours in some senses. Our training grounds are adjacent, and Hertfordshire (their home county) borders Greater London. We also have achieved success via style in the past – like Barnes and Blissett in the past for them. Or Wenger for us. […]
Much has been written on the form of our Spanish fullback Hector Bellerin and for sure, he has been frustrating from a defensive point of view, for some time in my opinion. Ironically, however, whilst defensively he can be questioned, offensively on Saturday, he seemed to find his feet once more. Many armchair pundits have […]
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham United – Premier League review Irons eventually got rusted….. This wasn’t sexy football. It was winning ugly – and how. It was good to win this relegation six-pointer though, wasn’t it? Senor Emery got his first win as our new head coach, and it wasn’t easy. I didn’t agree […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes…. The past still influences the present This still looks like a Wenger side. Do not blame Emery yet. As I said last week, Arsi ene Wenger left this team with such a complacent tactical attitude and with no repercussions for lack of work ethic. It will therefore take longer than we […]
Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal – Premier League Review Another “acceptable” loss…… The “Kings of London” derby ended in a defeat. And like the City game, it was a mix of bad and good. The bad was poor defending and positioning. In some cases, our finishing wasn’t that good either. But the good was […]
Arsenal’s World Cup players – How well can our players do in the coming World Cup? Whilst we may not have as many World Cup players as in previous tournaments, it’s interesting to see nonetheless how well they can do With the addition of Lichtsteiner, we have an additional player in the World […]
Arsenal 17/18 season review So we finished 6th. Our most successful manager ever has left. And we’ve got some world-class players in. But how did we do? And what areas need to be improved, or sustained? Let’s see, shall we? GK/Defence Cech – 4 – Has declined and made numerous mistakes. It […]
I have wanted Arsene replaced as our manager since the year 2011, with the 8-2 defeat at Old Trafford that year, being the final straw. In the years that have followed, my opinion on Wenger and his position has not wavered and neither has my support for the club. Yet it is those of us […]
