On the back of a possible Era changing 4-0 FA Cup final win over Aston Villa at the end of last season, Arsenal’s 2015/2016 campaign did look destined to be the year where ‘everything comes together’ at the Emirates. That belief was only strengthened by the fact that Arsenal had as stainless a pre-season campaign […]
There were two big pluses to this game: we won and it took us one step closer to the end of the campaign. The performance, however, isn’t much to write home about, so I’ll start with it. The game It was dire. It was mind-boggingly dull. If I was a neutral I would have switched […]
We are at the crossroads. Either Wenger goes or Wenger stays. Get two Arsenal fans together and that is the sole topic of interest – To Go or To Stay. The case for him going is strong. This season was ours. We had the squad; Wenger had spent on Cech, the much acclaimed final […]
Words fail me once again. I don’t think I can say anything you don’t already know. I’ll probably start with the bit from my preview: “Crystal Palace have won ONE game in the last 16 league matches. It was a recent home win vs Norwich, the game which ended 1-0. This run of sixteen games […]
I’ll start this preview with an astonishing bit I’ve only just dug up: Crystal Palace have won ONE game in the last 16 league matches. It was a recent home win vs Norwich, the game which ended 1-0. This run of sixteen games included an 11-game winless streak, during which the Eagles have only drawn […]
I recently had a conversation with a group of friends, a group in which I am tagged as a ‘Wenger Boy,’ and one of these friends, asked my view on what I personally think the problems plaguing The Arsenal are. This seemingly simple question sent me into deep thought, and for a while I could […]
I have frequently criticised Arsene during the current campaign and he got it wrong yet again last weekend against the Hammers. This time with a decision made prior to kick off, with him bizarrely keeping faith in David Ospina and naming the returning Petr Cech amongst the substitutes. This decision became a bigger source of […]
Howdy. It’s been quite some time since I’ve written a regular preview. Hopefully now that Arsenal have found their groove (knocks on wood) I’m back for good. Huge thumbs-up to Dave for doing a top job of standing in for yours truly at such a hard time. We are facing West Ham at Boleyn Ground […]
The longer I spend reflecting on our two disappointing results against Hull City and Barcelona, the more I find myself not only questioning Arsene’s judgement but his comments to the media too. Arsene’s decision to make nine changes to the team to face Hull was somewhat expected with Barcelona on the horizon. Despite this being […]
It was hardly a surprise that Arsenal lost to Barcelona. They are the best team in the world and their front three contains three of the world’s best strikers. Maybe Real Madrid fans should educate some of us Arsenal fans on how good Barcelona really are. I get the fact that our season is hanging […]
