A positive solution We don’t have to wait for the transfer window. There is a solution that leans into our individual and team strengths. Our defense is the best it will be until new players arrive. Our midfield is unfit for modern football so why worry about it until it gets blown up as there […]
Out of interest: Would you rather sign a winger who got 15 goals and 5 assists last season or 5 goals and 15 assists? This isn’t a question about Arsenal. Imagine you’re put in charge of a team you’ve never seen play & you have to pick one to sign. — Dan Critchlow (@afcDW) May […]
8 thoughts on Arsenal Some bold thoughts here. Would love your opinion. 1) This may not be a popular thought but Arsenal’s attacking options often give me reason to wonder if we could be more effective as a counter attacking team. Give me a minute to explain. I know we loved the days of possession domination […]
Arsenal and the trip to Magaluf (End of Part one of 19/20) I was trying to think of what Part 1 of Arsenal’s season reminded me of…. Back in 1995 my mates and I booked a trip to Magaluf. We were 21. No parents. We were all moderately good looking. Let’s go! The trip started […]

After a fairly miserable 19/20 season where Arsenal tumbled prematurely out of Europe and failed to make it back in, the […]
Arsenal’s rebate explained and opposition analysis: Can Arsenal bounce back Arsenal need to learn to stick the ball in the back of the net, and win when it matters. There was a match against AFC Monaco during Arsene Wenger’s reign and what happened in that fixture very much embodied the match against Olympiacos. All the […]
Systems vs Swagger Positives, Needs and Hopes One of the most frustrating parts of coaching is when you spend endless hours working on what seems like such a good idea only for it to hurt the team. I can’t prove this but the first half against Newcastle looked like a plan shut down. In my […]
Heads Up….on Burnley If you read my Positives, Needs and Hopes blog you may appreciate this new blog…. Heads Up! I’m writing prior to Arsenal games about what you can expect from our opponent. Tactical insight, formation, patterns of play, strengths and weaknesses etc… After watching 3 of Burnley’s recent games and getting the opinion of two Burnley […]
The STARTeta of transformation. The last game versus Bournemouth was the real beginning of Arteta’s reign as manager, and it’s what all us Arsenal fans have been crying out for.
