As Arsenal fans, we have been witness to some truly brilliant footballers. Ones that led with their advanced footballing IQs through and an innate awareness of space. These players could truly read the game around them. While many feel we lack overt leaders on the pitch who will tear into a teammate or opposition, I […]
Howdy. Sorry for prolonged radio silence, but I bear good news: I’m finally done with uni (at least till September) and you’ll have my unreserved attention from now on. I’m also a bachelor of law now, only the formalities remain, so hit me with your congratulations in the comment section below. Anyway, quite a lot […]
Howdy. Euro 2016 marches on and further 6 games took place in the last two days. I’ll take a look at 3 of these, simply because the other 3 weren’t nearly as interesting. Germany 2-0 Ukraine Like with the hosts, the first thing that instantly draws your attention to the German team sheet is a […]
Howdy. We take on Aston Villa today in the last game of the season and we all know the possible outcomes: a win can still elevate us to 2nd, a loss drop to 4th. Both scenarios are rather unlikely, so a 3rd-place finish seems in order. Team news update Ozil is back up again, neither […]
There have been quite a few articles this week on how we can beat Barcelona. I particularly liked this one from Michael Cox, where he argues the combination of early pressing and deep defending for the remainder of the game can do the trick. Then there were two, very similar in the idea they conveyed, […]
Howdy. The football is back today (along with yours truly) and, much as I like to avoid the cliched phrase, we really do have to win this one. Spurs scraped past Twatford yesterday to open up a 3-point lead on the Gunners (naturally, having played a game more) while City went down to Leicester at […]
We play Chelsea on Sunday and the Blues remain a very tricky opponent for us. We have improved against City and United in the last year or so, but hardly against Chelsea, being held to a goalless draw at the Emirates in April and losing away at Stamford Bridge (thanks to an atrocious performance from […]
After 19 games we find ourselves in the midst of a title fight which we are more than capable of winning. Here are six things to consider when talking about the title fight. 1. Tricky away games We have trips away to both Manchester teams, both Liverpool teams as well as white hart lane and […]
So, Where Are We Really? The silly season is almost over. So, where does Arsenal stand in comparison to our major competitors in the Premier League? Arsenal signed a top goalkeeper in Petr Cech, with Wojciech Szczesny exiting on loan to Roma, and David Ospina and Emi Martinez remaining to deputize. Ospina and Martinez are likely, […]
It’s that time of the year again. Though the transfer window will only open in 6 weeks, the transfer mill is already churning out rumours and boasting actual signings. Depay will start next season in United colours after the Red Devils bought him for a ridiculous £31 million and Dybala (our long-rumoured target) […]
