Well this is awkward. We all know how people tend to overlook the performance in the context of the result. Of course, it’s fair to say this is mostly wrong: down the years Arsenal fans have seen good performances aplenty only to see the Gunners consequently lose the match. Many started supporting Arsenal for the […]

This is how Arsenal will beat Chelsea – Turn their ‘Strength into their Weakness.’
The thought barely leaves me to be honest. How to Beat Chelsea As Arsenal exit a decade of self imposed austerity for me it’s always been about dispatching Liverpool and focussing on Chelsea. Ever since Roman arrived we have had to react to them. They manipulated the transfer market to suit their own affluence knowing […]
8 on the bounce for The Arsenal as Coquelin shines but Bellerin “hits his wall”
Well, that was tough, much tougher than I expected. We took the points for the eighth consecutive game without really being troubled after we scored, but found chances hard to come by to double the lead. You can see why Burnley drew with Chelsea and United and took all three points against City at Turf […]
2 Different Arsenals get a result where the 1 Old Arsenal would not have
Hello everyone. The last round of games before the international break took place this weekend and, truth be told, I’m a little relieved there will be no games for the next two weeks. The build-up to matches with rallying cries from managers and players alike, nerves spiking during games themselves and a short respite after […]
For Ozil to truly shine at Old Trafford Cazorla and Giroud should miss out – Big Call!!
Well here we go with a crunch game against United in what could define our season. I say this because the FA Cup is our greatest chance of a trophy but this may also have a mental effect on our league visit to Old Trafford which will be decisive in the top 4 battle. […]

It is the week of Cazorla & Coquelin but is this due to Wenger taking tactical advice from Thierry Henry?
Captain’s Log, star-date 1,1,7,9 point something. I’d been challenged to a Kruz-Na! by the Captain of a Klingon ship and I was ready to fight her to the death, but it turns out that a Kruz-Na! isn’t a battle, it’s something else…something dirty… Manchester City I said last week that a draw […]
LFC v AFC Preview – We aren’t going in with our Pants Down this year and it’s not lunchtime!
Captain’s Log star-date 1 week to go. Chekhov put a Christmas tree up on the bridge today. It looked nice but it was blocking the viewscreen, so I had Scotty beam it into space. Chekhov’s been mumbling quietly in Russian and giving me evils. It’s making me uncomfortable… Big game on Sunday. Away to Liverpool is […]
Welbeck Provides Perfect Response to Van Gaal’s Criticism
Danny Welbeck provided the perfect response to his critics by scoring a hat-trick against Galatasaray in the 4-1 victory. This was the striker’s fourth goal in five appearances since moving to Arsenal in a £16 million deal from Manchester United. Welbeck was given a shocking parting gift from United after their manager Louis van Gaal […]
The French Gunners in Brazil – World Cup Report
Bonjour my fellow Gooners. With the World Cup running, we all miss our Arsenal. Fortunately, our players are in duty with their national team. Especially the French, who I’m pleased to follow in another World Cup journey. And as you (may) have seen, Koscielny, Giroud and even Sagna, are doing really well. Didier Deschamps, French […]
