The title may be brusque. But the issue for me is that angst over this is misdirected. It’s not Auba at fault, but our unambitiously failing culture. There are many ways to analyse this situation, in my view: – We need to sell to buy Our revenues have dipped due to a […]
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham United – Premier League review Irons eventually got rusted….. This wasn’t sexy football. It was winning ugly – and how. It was good to win this relegation six-pointer though, wasn’t it? Senor Emery got his first win as our new head coach, and it wasn’t easy. I didn’t agree […]
Chelsea vs. Arsenal – Premier League preview Kings of London “derby” – Defence, midfield, attack analysis Spurs are the enemy, but Chelsea and Arsenal are two global clubs. Tottenham, hence their new and comically overdue and over-budget ground, are a wannabe global player. But we and Chelsea certainly are. We both hold a global […]
Arsenal 0-2 Manchester City – Premier League review – 18/19 season opener City are the champions, and we knew it wouldn’t be easy. However, it was a good defeat, if that makes sense. City were the better team overall, and had more chances to score. Though I think we looked to get forward, and […]

Seaman, […]
Arsenal 17/18 season review So we finished 6th. Our most successful manager ever has left. And we’ve got some world-class players in. But how did we do? And what areas need to be improved, or sustained? Let’s see, shall we? GK/Defence Cech – 4 – Has declined and made numerous mistakes. It […]
Arsenal vs. Burnley preview So it’s Arsene’s last home game at Arsenal. There will be a party atmosphere, but then this will be a preview as much as it is a celebration of his tenure. As for the game, it’s pretty much the sixth-place play-off final. Burnley, whilst a “small club”, can finish above […]
Arsenal 5-1 Everton With the introduction of PEA and Mkhi, and both of them contributing to this fine win vs Everton, we’re still adapting to life after “Alexit”. Do you miss Alexis?
