Was Arsenal’s summer transfer season really a success? On the 30th of September, Arsenal clashed swords with Manchester United under unrelenting Mancunian skies, hoping to lay down its first significant marker of the Premier League season. However, they failed to do so as Unai Emery’s men crawled to a tame stalemate. The Gunners, despite finding […]
I agree that we were lacking confidence on the ball, however, Utd. played with confidence for the first half hour. I was surprised because they have been awful in recent matches. They have no new players to be enthused over and we have been improving, but it was them who fired passes all around the […]
Man United 1-1 Arsenal Premier League review We didn’t get the win at Old Trafford after all. It’s been since 2006 and we’re still waiting…. Overall, a draw was a fair result. Both sides had good chances and created moments in the 90 minutes. However, from our standpoint, I feel it’s a disappointment. […]
‘The Confidence Platform’ I saw two teams who have good players. I saw two teams who have a few great players. I also saw two teams lacking in confidence and beside Aubameyang, the great weren’t even good and the good were mediocre. I do however remind myself that football is 50% attacking and 50% defending. […]
‘THE MOST IMPORTANT MATCH OF THE SEASON?’ Really? I think so. Why? Unless Emery is stubborn or blind, he was smacked in the face with a handful of potential changes that he could make based on what we all saw. Changes that could swing our season from ‘decent results, poor performances but fall short again’ […]
‘THE £50M MAN’ When I was young, clubs invested in Academies because they hoped that they could get a small handful break through to help the first team. That has changed somewhat. Now, clubs hope for this but also have the dream that a gem will come along that they can sell for big bucks […]
‘…..AND THEN I PUT MY GOGGLES ON’ Do you have anything in your football world that you really don’t understand? I do. I don’t understand fans that think friendlies are pointless or that pre-season is just for fitness. From my vantage point friendlies are for making BIG decisions about the upcoming season and who stays […]
The Charlotte sunshine was almost unbearable. We sat in the top tier fully exposed and routinely purchasing $5 bottles of water from the equally sad looking schoolkid who was lumbering around his grate of drinks in 90 degrees. I think my gullibility was partially down to the warped idea that I was helping this poor […]
LOOK AROUND THE CORNER AND YOU MIGHT SEE HOPE’ Well, I wasn’t expecting that. The first pre-season game is normally a mess, full of mistakes and general rustiness. That is not what happened at all. Arsenal were very sharp and completely dominant against a team in mid-season. A team with an average age of […]
As I write this we are in peak silly season when it comes to transfers and various players of mixed pedigree, and admittedly some I have never heard of, being linked to my Arsenal. Today I wake up to hear we have had a second official bid for Tierney. Celtic’s talented left back rejected. I […]
