“We are all humans, we all have emotions, and sometimes it’s not easy dealing with them. It’s time to lift each other up, not to push each other away. We only win when we are together.“ These fantastic words are just a well constructed, diplomatic and compassionate way of trying to help, to defuse and […]
Our record signing Nicolas Pepe got the win here, with two wonderfully executed free-kicks at the death. But overall, it was another limp performance. Yes, we won, and we should be happy with that. And Vitoria Guimaraes was not here to lie down or be the accessory. They pressed us well and passed well through our midfield. However, […]
Assumption #1: Unai Emery doesn’t favor using a player in the hole. Assumption #2: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the left-wing is a waste. CONCLUSION: Play 4-4-2! It sounds easy and is perhaps a bit simplistic but it’s also very fascinating and could solve some of our problems, especially up high on the pitch. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s best […]
I have read most of the articles written by people in recent weeks and I am struck by the impact of Acadamy youngsters and good acquisitions such as Pepe and Ceballos We are now in 3rd place which in my judgement will be our final place. Many fans have stated their opinions on how new players […]
‘TRANSFER NEWS…. Arsenal advised to sign Joy and Freedom’ …..on free transfers no less! I’m not convinced that the noticeable increase in joy watching my Arsenal and the freedom that they played with against Liege was solely down to weaker opposition. They’ve had three cracks at this similar line up and won 0-3, 5-0 and […]
‘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’ […]
Wonderful. Painful. Awful. Vital Here’s some facts…. 1) We rarely win when Chelsea, Spurs and Utd lose. We did. 2) We are 3 points ahead of all three of them after 6 games. 3) We played over a half with 10 men and won. 4) From a losing position too. Twice. 5) We are […]
Us 2-2 Them Emirates Stadium, September 1, 2019 So it ended all square vs. the Scum. Despite some apparent faults at Spurs with Pochettino, Eriksen, et al, we weren’t able to capitalise and get the win. I feel a draw here was fair, in honesty. The narrative from some fans was that […]
‘The 2 most important qualities in modern football’ I predict that Arsenal will finish 3rd. I also predict that we will finish significantly closer in points to the winner than last season. I have thought hard about this and my confidence is founded in two things…. Firstly, the club didn’t leave us ‘two or three […]
