Arsenal calm the rumbling storm…. Positives, Needs and Hopes I was trying to figure out (yet again) why games against Bournemouth seem so frantic. Is it the small, compact, noisy stadium? The tight camera angle? Almost seems like a game from the 90’s, end-to-end, vertical and nerve-wracking. Very little control especially in the first […]
AFC BOURNEMOUTH VS. ARSENAL PREVIEW We’re heading to the South Coast, and take on Bournemouth. who under Eddie Howe have performed very well this season. They currently are in sixth place – one behind us incidentally – and have continued much of what Howe has been noted for. Quick passing, good technical skills, and […]
International breaks can be rather dull and more so these days with little Arsenal interest, certainly from an England perspective. In a tenuous link however we happy Gooners, are more than quietly confident that our interest in The Three Lions may well change in the not too distant future. In recent years, we have pondered […]
I’ve enjoyed some of the most recent takes from fellow contributors to this blog, especially those that came in after the unexpected home draw against Wolves, the third consecutive draw in the league and the second in a row at the Emirates Stadium. Although it is pleasant to watch the Arsenal fight back from an […]
It is Talksport’s weekly programming meeting & everyone is at a bit of a loss. Cundy pipes up, “Look guys, it’s the interlull, England don’t play until Thursday and I’m at a loss. What are we gonna discuss? We haven’t caused an outrage for weeks and frankly, it’s killing me.” Andy Gray, who is hanging […]
Brilliance needed… Positives, Needs and Hopes This was an interesting game to misread. It is lazy to state that we were simply ‘disappointing’ or that the game was ‘dull.’ Arsenal did many things well. You have to in order to have 75% possession and to get through any game without your opponent having a chance. […]
Not ready to win it, but can Arsenal compete for the league? POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES As important as winning the big games is the belief gained. If I were Unai Emery, I would ask the players if they felt they were at the same level as Liverpool. Do not tell them. Some may just […]
Fulham 1-5 Arsenal PREMIER LEAGUE REVIEW Today was always going to be tough, considering our trip to Azerbaijan, and then an early kick-off albeit in London and not far away. However, today was sexy football. Yes, Fulham is a promoted side, which whilst with much historic PL experience, may go down again this season. […]
Too easy and too difficult… Positives, Needs and Hopes If I was an Everton fan… How on earth did we not win?!?! Arsenal were not good in any of their outfield departments, there to be taken and we were good but our final third choices kept us from a big win. If I were an […]
I’m happy we won of course. But at this rate, I’m beginning to think the only clean sheet I can know of is in my laundry….. Them scoring two late goals kind of dampens what was a good win and a good performance. Wenger in his prime would have been proud of some of the […]
