As we approach the end of the international break we all heave a collective sigh of relieve and turn our thoughts back to the Premier League, and in our case: a visit to St James Park. We are all hoping that Emery’s new Arsenal can build on two hard-fought (if not entirely convincing) wins over […]
Much has been written on the form of our Spanish fullback Hector Bellerin and for sure, he has been frustrating from a defensive point of view, for some time in my opinion. Ironically, however, whilst defensively he can be questioned, offensively on Saturday, he seemed to find his feet once more. Many armchair pundits have […]
Arsenal 3-1 West Ham United – Premier League review Irons eventually got rusted….. This wasn’t sexy football. It was winning ugly – and how. It was good to win this relegation six-pointer though, wasn’t it? Senor Emery got his first win as our new head coach, and it wasn’t easy. I didn’t agree […]
Matchweek 3 sees Arsenal face fellow London side West Ham in what is being called must-win already, here I predict the results with Mark Konieczny, a keen follower of the Premier League, despite being a Brentford fan. You can follow Mark on Twitter: @milik_fan. Wolves v Manchester City: Mark: Wolves looked good at Leicester and certainly […]
Chelsea vs. Arsenal – Premier League preview Kings of London “derby” – Defence, midfield, attack analysis Spurs are the enemy, but Chelsea and Arsenal are two global clubs. Tottenham, hence their new and comically overdue and over-budget ground, are a wannabe global player. But we and Chelsea certainly are. We both hold a global […]
Mr. Arsenal….captain, leader, legend….but wrong on our opening day defeat… He’s a boss in many ways. I doubt there are many, if any, Gooners alive who don’t rate Tony Adams. Every club seemingly has a pre-eminent player, who represents the best triumphs and spirit of the club in question. For Man United, it’s […]
There has been much written in the aftermath of the opening weekend defeat in Emery’s first competitive match. I have read much of it, listened to more and even found myself wholly unready to talk about what went wrong on the radio on Monday. It is difficult because I am certain the vast majority of […]
I have read the current contributions by various writers and I have gleaned a few of their conclusions, which I find interesting. The first and somewhat disappointing one is that sections of the crowd were already verbally abusive on the first match of the season and many left early. It is particularly disappointing because it […]
Arsenal are no strangers to a home defeat on the opening day of a new league season – to Villa in 2013 and West Ham in 2015, in case you needed reminding – but unlike those morale-sapping collapses, their defeat to Manchester City in Unai Emery’s first game in charge need not cause alarm. It […]
Unai Emery will lead out his Arsenal team for the first time as Arsenal host champions Manchester City in an enthralling encounter at Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Arsenal It’s exciting because no one knows what to expect, formation, lineup, performance, it’s all new, one thing we do know is that everyone will be 100% […]
