Since our impressive display in Basel, our performances away from home, prior to our visit to Swansea, had been disappointing to say the least. With us suffering defeats at Everton and Manchester City, despite being in front in both games at one stage. Earning a draw at Bournemouth, having recovered from a three-goal deficit and […]
It feels like quite a bit since we’ve won a game of football comprehensively. So it was really nice to not fret about the result for most of the second half and just lazily follow the action. I was worried going into the game. On top of Swansea being a tricky opponent for the Gunners […]
With the incorporation of Alexis, Lucas, Giroud, Ozil, Iwobi, Xhaka and Ramsey all in the same attack at various points of a game I think we can agree that this is our best attack for quite a few years. The effectiveness is there, because coming back from deficits requires mental will no doubt but also […]
This blog is written for one purpose and one purpose only, namely, to celebrate the goal that ended with big man Ollie staring at the giant screen in amazement after scoring the goal of 2017 on the first day of the year. We can break the goal down to each integral piece of the puzzle […]
Howdy. It’s a face-off with Crystal Palace for Arsenal on New Year’s day and a chance for the Gunners to close in on City and Liverpool, seeing as they play one another. What’s more, Tottenham host Chelsea on January 4th, providing us with a further opportunity to make up the lost ground. Fat Sam will […]
Let me get this out of the way first: Arsenal deserved to win the game. Not so much because of the total domination in numbers: 76% possession, 26 shots, 11 on target. The Gunners deserved the three points as such domination was a result of their proactive approach and, let’s be honest, West Brom’s total […]
Howdy. We visit Manchester City today and this presents the team with a chance to right the wrongs of the midweek game. It will also be an attempt to make up at least some ground on Chelsea, who are currently nine points clear at the top, albeit with a game in hand. However, you have […]
Well, that was much better, wasn’t it? A convincing win in the end, an improved performance, Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott back on the scoresheet. Still things to work on, obviously, but I’d much rather discuss these after a win. Let’s start with the positive bits though, shall we? Changes to the side I was […]
Today I feel a strong urge to just copy and paste chunks of text from my United review. Insipid performance? Check. Unbalanced midfield? Check. One shot on target? Check. Giroud on the scoresheet? Check. I don’t see in what way our performance vs PSG was any better than our performance vs United. In fact, I […]
Howdy. We take on PSG today in what will be a battle for the top spot in Group A. The winner gets Bayern/Atletico in the last 16 … Kidding, kidding. It’s actually Borussia/Real. However, on the off chance we get lucky + there’s no tampering with the draw this season, it is worth beating […]
