At this time of year you naturally tend to reflect on the year just gone and what lies ahead. So let me indulge myself. A serious read so you need to be sitting down! Given the recent cult of the ‘superstar’ manager and how many of us have become swayed by their influence and supposed […]
Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini, Jose Mourinho. Some of the most divisive of figures in this beautiful game of ours, but they are mainly men who give the game a bad rep. Another man, who divides the footballing spectrum the most, especially amongst Arsenal fans, and sympathizers, is our very own French-born Economics ‘Professor’ cum Manager, […]
We face Bayern for the 2nd time in two weeks and I’m really intrigued how this game will play out. Ideally, we need at least a point from the game. That doesn’t mathematically guarantee us safe passage, because there is a chance Olympiacos will get more than three points in the next two games, but […]
I saw a picture on Twitter the other day. Not one of them Ass pictures from @BeautifulBooty I constantly see RT’d onto my TL but another one. It was a picture of Arteta and Guardiola and they looked like they were having an in-depth conversation. Now I doubt very much it was to discuss hairstyles […]
“If I have learned anything during these past few weeks, it’s that we can adapt to opponents. We can hit them from the off like a hurricane (the normal one, not that overgrown Draco Malfoy version), we can play sterile possession to tire them out, or we can just set up two banks of four […]
Last year, when changes to the seeding system were announced, Arsenal fans were both outraged and excited. Outraged because the new system meant only champions would be seeded in the first pot. Our chances at becoming champions last year at that stage looked, let’s put it mildly, slim. However, the fans were also excited to […]
Please note, I am not advocating an immediate change of manager, nor suggesting Arsene Wenger shouldn’t be given a new deal, but he may not be offered one or may not sign one when his current deal expires, and he will, of course, eventually leave his post at some point! After two back-to-back FA Cup […]
The unarguably perceptible fact that Arsene is a smart man cannot be over-emphasized. He has arranged a side with almost a perfect balance of home grown and foreign influx. He also knew a summer like this will arrive, where the need for ‘local lads’ will drive clubs to negotiate desperately. With that in mind, he […]
Okay, I know this is supposed to be a preview for the Swansea game but, frankly, not much has happened in the last couple of days that could affect the task at hand. Swansea’s striker Gomis should make it in time to face us at the Emirates (although, as the Frenchman has missed a couple […]
Back in the day, before I tried growing a beard that never really grew, I made a bold prediction. You could say a BOULD prediction. I believed that Arsenal and Arsene Wenger were grooming Steve Bould (shut up you perverts) to become the next Arsenal manager when Wenger and Arsenal part ways. Now of course […]
