For fans on the red side of North London, it has now been over a year since we said au revoir to Arsene Wenger and Hola to Unai Emery. I was actually born before Arsene actually took the manager reigns of a club, I had come to love so much. All I have known pretty […]
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 […]
I have just watched the match on TV and I was resolved to post a blog on the game when I sat down to write it and I saw Alex Baguzin`s preview. As usual he was pretty accurate in the make-up of the team and he identified the threats of the opposing team. Unfortunately he […]
Everton 2-5 Arsenal Premier League Review Well…where the hell was that performance in recent months (nay years)? We bossed them from start to finish, despite Rooney scoring a great goal for them at the start. Rooney’s goal was against the run of play, but we did show the “cajones” today. We showed overall the technicality, […]
Watford 2-1 Arsenal Hornets sting Arsenal…… So….is this the same old Arsenal? Is it? I think so. Without complaints of sour grapes, I don’t believe Watford overly dominated. It was a mix of Watford’s clinical finishing when it mattered, and Arsenal’s slackness. First half Both teams had some good inter-passing, but created few clear-cut chances. […]
We’re heading to Watford for another “London” (actually Hertfordshire, since it’s never been in London) derby. Though it could be called a Herts. neighbours’ derby, since our training grounds border each other near London Colney, a village just south of St. Albans. That said, Watford has established itself as a firm Premier League club in […]
The result of the match should not disguise that this was another poor performance. The first half was a copy of the game between Spurs and Borussia Dortmund except that we were the dominant force and we should have punished Cologne as Dortmund who had 63% possession should have punished Spurs. The similarity of approach […]
After one of Arsenal’s worst league seasons in recent history it’s no doubt one of the big stories was contract renewals, be that of the manager or of star players such as Alexis Sanchez or Mesut Ozil. Here is part two of this three part series where I look at possible replacements for the nine […]
Is the recent run of good results – THFC apart – a flash in the pan or a portend of good things to come. Reading social media and you can see that both views are present. Let us look at them.,,,, The False Dawn approach is born of two attitudes. First, there are fans […]
Well I did not expect that. In fact, I was dreading the match beforehand but I was cheered up by the supporters who were behind the team from the start. The Chelsea fans began quite vocal but as the game progressed, the Gooners took over. The players were clearly bolstered by the support and; to […]
