Arsenal wasted 16 minutes hoping for a ‘Miracle in Monte Carlo’ rather than creating one!
Yes, we played well in Monaco. Yes, we could have scored at least one more goal. Yes, we showed character and desire. Yes, we gave the qualification away in the home leg. Yes, we fell short. The win in Monaco is very difficult to take, especially when you see the authority, command and […]
Mourinho playing the same players all season could be costly as ‘Wengerball’ Arsenal with returning stars look fresh?
Triumph against the Hammers has placed us 6 points under Chelsea for what’s likely to be a very short period. It does have me contemplating what result I desire in tomorrow’s game between Chelsea and Southampton, well to be honest it doesn’t, rarely do I ever want to see Chelsea win and an away victory […]
We showed the world that United are a team of desperation, not determination.
Manchester United To win away at Old Trafford is always special for any Arsenal fan. To humiliate them is extra special, and make no mistake, we humiliated United. Their fans must have been crying with embarrassment all the way back to London. The score was a little flattering for United, and but for their goalkeeper […]
Arsenal’s Counter Attacking style is fast becoming our Plan A – And its working!
Everton I was little worried about the Everton game because I really thought they had a plan for us. I thought it just might work. As it turns out they did have a plan, but it didn’t work at all. More surprising for me was our plan for them. I saw a lot of people […]
IN GAME MANAGEMENT – When match tactics are wrong you have to adapt during the match and Wenger failed to do so!
. Captain’s Log Star-Date 1,4,6 point 17. Spock thinks we should head to the Phondar system. I wasn’t actually listening to his reasons because the Phonarian ambassador was sitting opposite me. I’ve always had a thing for green girls. With Arsenal, Man U, Liverpool & Spurs, four teams for two places, it’s no tragedy that […]
ONLY Arsenal could have done what they did last night and an Arsenal Legend says ONLY Ox has what his Invincibles had!
Review, Player ratings and Solutions? Bayern at home last season. The intensity of our play our focus until we derailed after 30 minutes with the sending off was amazing. We lost 2-0 but it was Arsenal. It was our team failing with desire purpose and mental focus. What we saw vs Monaco was unprofessional. We […]
New ‘Counter pressing, counter attacking’ Arsenal set to deliver Sucker punches in Europe
It’s that time of the campaign again, when the spotlight is fixed on Arsenal for a number of reasons. A period when observers are either itching to see how the Gunners falter in their title hunt, or watch how Arsene rallies his troops to end a challenging season with a top 4 finish. In this […]
Palace hard press left them exposed at the back & No way back for Theo and Jack!
Captain’s Log star-date 1, 6, 8, 7 point 6. I’ve been in the mood for a cheeseburger for a few weeks now. Not the sort we serve on the ship, a different sort. Maybe with a more exotic meat. Maybe we’ll boldly go and see what the Niberian wilderbeast tastes like. All in the name […]
50 Not Out!! – What more does Giroud have to do to please all Gunners?
After netting his 50th goal for the club yesterday, Olivier has proven himself a solid member of the Arsenal squad. Credit must be paid towards his improvement at the club in his 3 years here. Olivier Giroud divides opinion amongst most Gooners as to whether he’s good enough to lead the line for us and […]
