in 2011 I was a avid reader of Arsenal blogs but there was far less of them in those days. One writer who stood out for me when it came to tactical match analysis was @DesiGunner. He was one of a handful of writers that inspired me to take to the amateur Gunner keyboard, so […]
It’s time for another news round-up. These are just some thoughts on the happenings around the club lately, both on and off the pitch. It’s both a serious and jesty look at what has been going on at the club we all love. Emery has the bottle… Our manager, Senor Emery, has been […]
Our supposed bad record at the St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton is continuing, since we lost this game 3-2. The new Southampton manager, Ralph Hassenhutl, managed to get the win here, and in his first home game. As for us, it was in essence more of the same. We played well in parts, but weak […]
Where does Ozil fit in the new Arsenal system? Subjectivity is one of the most important things when being a writer or covering sports for any format, sadly certain papers or pundits disagree with that but I think anyone worth their salt will, or should agree. The reason I started with the last statement is, […]
Massive strides for superior Arsenal… Positives, Needs and Hopes When you simplify sport you get some gems of ideas!. We are superior to Vorskla. Even our 2/3/4th string. So… what is it we are superior at? If you can figure that out as a coach and get your team to act on it, […]
To follow on from Part 1 I promised to look at where the limited budget might be spent, if I believe it will not go on the winger most fans feel we want. For me it is increasingly apparent, that for the moment at least, Emery sees the width in this team being provided by […]
Arsenal calm the rumbling storm…. Positives, Needs and Hopes I was trying to figure out (yet again) why games against Bournemouth seem so frantic. Is it the small, compact, noisy stadium? The tight camera angle? Almost seems like a game from the 90’s, end-to-end, vertical and nerve-wracking. Very little control especially in the first […]
AFC BOURNEMOUTH VS. ARSENAL PREVIEW We’re heading to the South Coast, and take on Bournemouth. who under Eddie Howe have performed very well this season. They currently are in sixth place – one behind us incidentally – and have continued much of what Howe has been noted for. Quick passing, good technical skills, and […]
Not ready to win it, but can Arsenal compete for the league? POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES As important as winning the big games is the belief gained. If I were Unai Emery, I would ask the players if they felt they were at the same level as Liverpool. Do not tell them. Some may just […]
“We have our Arsenal back!!!” I think most heard the chant “We have our Arsenal back!!” at the Fulham game. Surely those who attended and those watching on TV, caught earshot. My thoughts were it was premature. Yes, I can empathise with why they said it. But in my view, we only will have […]
