I watched the Arsenal match on Saturday and a feeling of Deja Vu came over me. Can you have multiple Deja Vu? It is November, we are away to Man Utd, we are playing well and we are reasonably confident of the result. The teams came out and Wenger and Mourinho touched hands and ignored each […]
I’ll get this out of the way first: we were crap. The performance scraped the bottom of the barrel. In fact, it was almost a negative number on a scale of 1 to 10. We were utterly abject, insipid, completely disinterested in getting a result. There was no urgency to our play, no desire, no […]
Well the win over Sunderland was predictable, well, if it wasn’t Arsenal, enjoyable, if it wasn’t Arsenal and thought provoking as Arsenal performances always are. Even the apparently most routine victory, after a first half of taking a deserved lead, following after and preceding total dominance, gave the Arsenal supporters the obligatory period of concern […]
Back in August, I wrote a pretty scathing review of how Arsenal had conducted its transfer business this summer. Things had started well, with Granit Xhaka’s acquisition from Borussia Monchengladbach in May an encouraging start, but the weeks of inactivity that followed seemed to indicate at best a gross incompetence with regards to transfer dealings, and at worst a […]
When Duncan Watmore went down inside our box I sank in my chair. It looked all set up to become one of those days. Good pressure and slick passing, a goal to show for our trouble, loads of chances created, then one mistake puts paid to everything good. Usually it’s also the first shot on […]
Image courtesy of ‘You are my Arsenal’ It’s Sunderland away and I remember how hard it has been for us to beat the Black Cats either home or away for the last two seasons, no matter who was in charge. There was that 2-0 away with a brace from Alexis after Mannone spilled his beans […]
Howdy. Another week is behind us, which means the Premier League football returns. This game week kicks off with Spurs visiting Bournemouth, however Manchester City don’’t play until Sunday, which means Arsenal will be able to go top, provided we win on Saturday. And look, I see no reason why we shouldn’t. The team has […]
The Champions league is back and Arsenal face Bulgarian team Ludogorets Razgrad. It will be the first time these two have ever met. Ludogorets were only founded 15 years ago in 2001 but have been in Europe that last 4 years so this isn’t new to them and I’m sure they won’t be fazed by […]
Howdy. Premier League action finally returns and with it does the actual football. This weekend promises to be very exciting for neutrals, as Chelsea take on Leicester in an early kick-off on Saturday, City face Everton on Sunday and United go to Anfield to try and slow down Klopp’s men. Oh, there’s also the small […]
We are all aware of the fickle nature of football fandom and opinion, particularly as expressed on social media. So much so that last night, after a few cracking performances which excited us all I witnessed conversations on Twitter asking if those who were expressing discontent at Wenger would now apologise; admit they were wrong […]
