I wrote a blog after the last time Everton beat us at Goodison and I said that they deserved to win because they outhought, outfought and generally wanted the result more than us. I sat down with my son to watch the match and I could not beileve that Emery had selected Elneny and Guendouzi […]
‘The Absent Solution’ POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I made a prediction back in December that we would fall short this season. I’m not in the slightest bit interested in being right. My thought was based on one big missing link. Arsenal lack ‘individual brilliance’ on the dribble. We are very capable of collective brilliance (last […]
We got stuck in Everton toffee today. And this isn’t the best for our top four hopes – however, I believe we can still get top four. However, this game wasn’t really the best, and Everton outmuscled, outfought, and bullied us. Without disrespecting our previous manager, this was a performance reminiscent of the latter […]
‘The Birth of the Future’ POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I’ve been waiting, wondering and hoping that we were going to get this performance. If you read often you may have got bored of my ‘need’ for Arsenal to play at a quicker tempo in the final third, the need for 1 touch to become a […]
What is the definition of ‘cruelty?’ I am too bummed to find out but it feels like it should be that game. Rather than whine about an offside goal I want to acknowledge that Arsenal had some players that played like real heroes today and were possibly a penalty kick away from being legends. I […]
The Spectacular Unspectacular POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Fans need hope but boy, oh boy has society done a number on our levels of patience. Yesterday, was a spectacular display of seriousness. Flicking through Twitter I have started to only pay attention to those who don’t have extreme views. “We are awful”, “So and so is […]
With the campaign now beyond the halfway stage, the biggest talking point amongst the clubs supporters, is how Unai Emery has performed within his role as our manager to date. As they are with all subjects associated with The Arsenal, the opinions being offered by the club’s fans are extremely diverse. With some supporters believing […]
If it doesn’t make you laugh, it will make you cry. There was a young man called Alexi Who wanted to play for Man City We turned down 60 million Swapped him for Mykhitaryan At United he’s sh!te, what a pity Jack Wilshire a Gooner for life His place in the squad was in strife […]
West Ham United 1-0 Arsenal Premier League Review Our trip to the London Stadium didn’t really turn out well, as lost to the Irons via a Rice goal early in the second half. This performance, over both halves, I think can be summed up via these points: Strong defending (for once) The goal we […]
The Perfect Showcase for Arsenal’s problems POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Ordinarily, if you wanted to compile a snapshot of the problems at your club, you’d have to scroll through 3 or 4 games to find the problems. You want to see ALL of them in one game? Watch West Ham vs Arsenal. *Goal conceded by […]
