Stoke City emerged as trailblazers in the Premier League by exploiting the fine margins and becoming renowned at set-piece efficiency. Under the tutelage of Tony Pulis, Stoke became a powerhouse in terms of long throw-ins, free kicks, and corners, studying their opponents’ defensive setups and taking advantage of their weaknesses. They maximized their tallest players’ […]
Sky Sports: “Arsene, over the past 14 years you’ve have had many battles with Jose. Have you anything to say about him before going into, potentially, your last confrontation?” Arsene: “Some people wrong because they are not strong enough to fight temptation and some are wrong because that do not know” The Current […]

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 […]
Howdy. It’s the West Bromwich Albion enigma the Gunners have to crack today and, taking into account our poor recent form and the fact Pulis is in charge of the Baggies, this is not going to be a walk in the park. Team news update Arsene Wenger faces an unenviable task of shaking the current […]
Let me get this out of the way first: Arsenal deserved to win the game. Not so much because of the total domination in numbers: 76% possession, 26 shots, 11 on target. The Gunners deserved the three points as such domination was a result of their proactive approach and, let’s be honest, West Brom’s total […]
This game can be summed up with a phrase “it was one of those games”. Everything went against us. We’ve made some uncharacteristic individual errors, were not helped in the slightest by Clattenburg and, basically, looked doomed to lose the game especially after missing the penalty. I’m not inclined to blame the manager for this […]
Hi everyone. This is part three of my series of blogs about the status of the Premiership Clubs of the 2014-2015 Season following the conclusion of the League season. In this, the third part of the series, I’ll be focusing on Leicester City and West Bromwich Albion. Of course, all of this is my own […]
I finally got around to watching the Hull vs. Arsenal match yesterday (thank you DVR) – I’ve seen and heard reviews praising Arsenal’s performance. I thought that AFC were good on the day, but not as blindingly brilliant as some have claimed. It was a game of missed chances for Hull, poor refereeing from Lee […]
Week Fifteen – Arsenal are back By the time you read this the last international break for a while will be well and truly forgotten, and we will be free to focus on The Arsenal for a few months. We are going into a crucial period now, and the fact that we are top of […]
