Our first big game of the season has finally arrived and it’s Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. This will probably sound smug, especially in the light of our midweek demoralising defeat, but I don’t think we’ve been better suited to beat Chelsea in the league for a long time. The reason is simple: their atrocious form. […]
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 […]
I struggled to think this week. Arsenal news and events were limited by an International break, and with the transfer window closed, gossip has been temporarily restrained as well. It is currently Thursday evening, and up until this point I have failed to think of a sensible topic to address in this column, so have […]
It is what it is! – It’s one of those phrases/sayings I’m not sure I really like! When some people say it I don’t mind it, but some people use it all too frequently in the vocabulary fashion world. It has lost its excitement to me, just like people wearing Ralph Lauren polo shirts in […]
On the eve of post deadline day hysteria I started on a piece about our striking options without bringing anyone in. The gist of it being is that, for the team to progress, Welbeck would be our best option at ‘nine’ given his physical attributes and, compared to Ollie and Theo, he has a greater […]
Transfer window woes Less than a day after the transfer window slammed shut with Arsenal failing to make any further purchases, a statement regarding Danny Welbeck’s health was issued on the official website. Unfortunately, the news was far from heartwarming, as it turned out Danny’s injury required surgery. a surgery which took place during the […]
The window is now shut and we’ve had a largely underwhelming one. I could write 20 paragraphs about my disgust with this situation and reveal my rage but honestly what is the point? I expected Arsene Wenger to disappoint despite forcing myself into a late glimmer of hope and that is what has happened. Rather […]
Like I said before the game, away days at St. James park are always hard. Yes, we still manage to win there, but our last three meetings with the Toons (now four) finished with a solitary goal to separate the two teams: 1-0, 2-1, 1-0 and 1-0. However, there are different kinds of hard. Yesterday’s […]
We face Newcastle today and, once again, we badly need to win the game. It’s kind of funny to be in such a position 3 games in, but our less than spectacular start ensured we need a second away win in a row. Interestingly enough, we have a very good record away from home: 6 […]
This evening Arsenal return to the Emirates for a blockbuster clash against Liverpool. No matter what our thoughts on the opposition are it’s always a big game given the history of the 2 clubs. In the same fixture last season we gave Liverpool a footballing lesson spanking them 4:1! I don’t expect tonight’s game to […]
