I distinctly remember the feature in The Sun. Across the page was a headline about Arsenal’s future, with three pictures of players underneath. “The new Vieira, the new Kanu and the new Henry,” the piece proudly said, along with each of the price tags the club was set to pay per player. Emmanuel Adebayor of […]
I have read a lot of commentaries on our disastrous defeat on Sunday. There are common themes in all of them and I am thoroughly dismayed at the threads running through many of them which some of my contemporaries are highlighting. It brings me no comfort to find that I have been identifying the same […]
Happy New Year to all but not a happy end to 2017 for Wenger and our team. Last night’s performance was not just poor and lacking in intensity with Ozil’s spark, it was also, in my view at least tactically inept. For some Wenger can still do no wrong and they will say how can […]
Theo, What have you done for me lately? Not a big Janet Jackson fan, but not a big Theo fan either Once upon a time you were the next big thing When you signed, we bigged you up all time Sven believed and took with the team to Germany But that was just a […]
Have you ever watched the film the Lion King? Perhaps you’ve seen a David Attenborough documentary on big cats in the wild, maybe you watched Cats the musical. OK the last one is unlikely to wield much help in this regard but the first two you’ll have noticed how when there are older lions on […]
“PICK OF THE BUNCH.” From match-day to match-day there are certain individuals in the Arsenal team whose performance leaves them standing head and shoulders above the rest. The ones whose blood, sweat and tears are shed to ensure the team wins or at least makes a good attempt doing that. This weekly feature is going […]
Crvena Zevzda 0-1 Arsenal Europa League Group Stage Red De-Starred Belgrade….. A comfortable win for Arsenal. Despite immense differences in resources, global scope, fanbase, and finances, Crvena Zvezda has won the European Cup, and Arsenal never has. So we should give them some due respect, despite their comparative “lowly” footing. However, Arsenal looked […]
There is much to be positive about as an Arsenal fan. After a tricky start to the campaign the team are winning consistently, if not flamboyantly and certain individuals have been key to that. However the two players who have not been integral to the turnaround are still the two players being most discussed in […]
BATE Borizov 2-4 Arsenal Europa League 28th September 2017 Arsenal haven’t played much in Belarus before. BATE Borizov are the long-running champions of Belarus, and narrowly missed out of Champions League qualification. They have however played and done well vs. Bayern Munich amongst others in previous seasons. So whilst it was not going to […]
Howdy. We face West Brom today, in what will round off gameweek 6. This fixture marks the beginning of an easier 5-match run for the Gunners: after the Baggies we face Brighton, Watford, Everton and Swansea. There’s potential to rack up some points here and get back on track. But first we need to overcome […]
