Tuesday may well turn out to be a landmark day for this current Arsenal side. Ainsley Maitland-Niles penning a long term contract extension and the almost certain capture of Lucas Torreira from Sampordia. A day where we committed to stylistic change in a vital area of the pitch. An attempt to enhance the area most […]
This the second part in the welcoming of our new manager, Unai Emery. View Part 1 here. Here, I will see how he could solve our specific issues, and what we could expect from him in his first season. I must say that his press conference was well done. His English isn’t that bad, though […]
Holidays are a weird thing aren’t they? You look forward to them for months, away from the stress of real life and work and putting the bins out. But when you get here you lie down for an hour by the pool and worry that you are wasting your time and start thinking about what […]
Huddersfield Town 0-1 Arsenal – Premier League review. A bientôt, Monsieur Wenger. So we got a win away from home, at last. And a good way to end Mr Wenger’s illustrious tenure at our football club. It was an ironic end, which Arsene himself alluded to as ourselves and Huddersfield share Herbert Chapman as […]
“Dynamic” and “Incisive.” Those are the terms I associate with the attacking brand of Arsenal football I fell in love with over a decade ago. In recent blogs, I’ve made mention of the identity crisis at the club and the deviation from the swashbuckling, eye-catching offensive ethos we developed over the course of the Wenger […]
We take on Southampton today, looking to build on the back-to-back league wins and a midweek bashing of CSKA. Even though Southampton have lost consecutive games with an identical 3-0 scoreline (to West Ham and Newcastle no less), I’m still wary of the threat they pose. A number of our recent clashes come to mind, […]
We host AC Milan today, merely a week after the first leg. Such are the perks of Europa League though: we have to play catch-up with the Champions League schedule-wise, so ours is a bit more packed as a result. If there was a time I’d prefer the return leg, however, I would say […]
The lunatics have taken over the asylum!!!! And to be fair, given the recent results, they can do anything they want!!! The rumour mill is in full effect, with stories of moles and player revolts. Apparently the players have covertly taken control of the team, as, in their words, “we need more help from the […]
As we all know, things aren’t well with us at the moment, particularly when it comes to the league. However, thinking positively, we still have the Europa cup to play for, and the possibility of a Champions League spot using the Chelsea/United backdoor. With the first knock-out round kicking off at AC Milan’s San Siro […]
You know that when half the fanbase is hoping for the game to be called off for whatever reason, while the other half is plotting to stay at home despite having the tickets, the footballing aspect of your team must be in dire state. And so it is, abundantly demonstrated by the game yesterday. Shortly […]
