As Aguero dinked his shot over Cech, who somehow managed to get smaller in size as the Argentinian ran at him, rage started to swell inside me. Up to this point the system chosen by Arsene Wenger was working. It wasn’t flawless, and indeed Arsenal got lucky when Aguero’s half-time goal was ruled inadmissible, but […]
Albeit playing Manchester City after four league defeats in five games is less daunting than playing Chelsea on the back of such a streak, this is hardly the best way to get into the swing of things nonetheless. My usual line “we’ll produce a response after a defeat like that” died a horrible death more […]
I am going to get straight to the point; I am concerned about the immediate future of Arsenal Football Club. To many, that may appear to be an overreaction. Especially when taking in to consideration, that with the exception of the five teams currently sitting above us in the table, every club in the country […]
It’s one of those times I’m not quite sure what to write about. The task gets decidedly more complex owing to the fact I watched the game live. For some reason I just cannot follow the game from the stands the way I do in front of the TV screen. Oh well. Let’s see where […]
Howdy. It’s Hull we face on Saturday, while all being preoccupied with one single question: is there life after death? Well, strictly speaking it’s what point there is in the rest of the campaign after a failed title bid?, but I just wanted to add a bit of drama. Because clearly there is not enough […]
. There is nothing more telling than having rival supporters taunt you, by singing songs about wanting your manager to stay. After another visit to Stamford Bridge resulted in yet another defeat, it came as no surprise to hear choruses of “Arsene Wenger, we want you stay” reverberating around the stadium. Sadly, the defeat itself […]
It’s been an awful end to the week for any Gooner. Some are angry, some are sad, very few must still be positive; but, as much as our feelings towards the scheme of things do matter, I can’t imagine how the players and the manager feel and that’s what really matters at this time. Cech […]
In my almost 13 years of supporting Arsenal I’ve witnessed a lot of defeats. Yesterday’s 3-1 surrender to Chelsea was by no means the worst. In fact, I can think of a handful of draws much more painful than some defeats Arsenal suffered down the line. Before you shout “any draw is better than any […]
In the week that our skipper commits his future to Arsenal one of columnist pays tribute to the man from Loreint…… LAURENT KOSCIELNY – FROM BOY TO MAN TO WORLD BEATER. From time immemorial, man has always sought acclaim and praise for performing actions or tasks with class, panache and divergent human abilities. Since the […]
When Petr Čech joined, I was very happy. Surely it didn’t come as a surprise, as speculations went on for a couple of transfers windows, but I remember how satisfied I was, how happy I felt to finally have a top-class goalkeeper at the Club. Given his age, the Czech wasn’t a long-term choice but […]
