Arsenal 1-0 Doncaster Rovers Carabou Cup Wednesday 20th September 2017 It’s funny that Darren Ferguson is the Doncaster manager. His father, Sir Alex, was in the stands tonight, and it seems daddy Ferguson channelled one of his performances from his Man U days into his son’s tonight. How Doncaster are a League 1 team is […]
So with last night begun a season (at least) of Thursday night football. With kick-off delayed an hour due to the issues with the Cologne supporters that descended on the capital, Arsenal laboured through a dreadful first half in which they played as if they were still waiting for the game to begin.

Welcome to the Arsenal, Alexandre Lacazette! Finally, we’ve got a striker who can finish, move around the box, link with teammates and – last but not least – take penalties. It took a lot of time to finally find our man, with multiple high-profile targets – such as Luis Suárez and Gonzalo Higuaín – gone […]
Ever get the feeling you have been had? 12 months ago Arsenal were playing 4231 Theo and Ox were the first two choices for the right wing berth Iwobi was emerging as Alexis’s cover Serge had returned from a disastrous loan under Spulis Arsenal sold Serge to Werder Bremen for a pittance, with rumours that […]
Our last two games have been a breath of fresh air for Arsenal fans. A new formation, two wins, and the sense of optimism that we can adapt stylistically to an ever-evolving Premier League.
