Arsenal players inspire ambivalence…….love and dismay in one. At this moment, Lacazette is supposedly coming. Though I’ll do as the cliché says and only “be happy once it’s on Arsenal.com”. We’ve been burnt by this speculation far too many times, it’s like the boy who cried ‘wolf’. But then I’ve been thinking about players who […]
The Arsenal we know and love was on full display Saturday. They showed a blend of industry, guile, and fluid attacking football that helped me fall in love with this team over a decade ago. Regardless of whether or not you feel Alexis’ early goal should have stood, you can’t argue that we were the […]
It’s the last game of the season for Arsenal, and, for the third time in four seasons it is the FA Cup final. Undoubtedly Arsene Wenger’s men will be looking to salvage something from the otherwise disappointing campaign. Winning a third FA Cup in four years seems fitting. It can also be the saving grace […]
So, that’s it then. Over and done with the Premier League until August. I’d like to say I won’t miss it, but I will. We have hit form in the last ten games, which made the end of the season quite enjoyable. I wouldn’t mind if the season ended in February/March, however now I […]
I·den·ti·ty /īˈden(t)ədē/ (Noun) the fact of being who or what a person or thing is. what Arsenal have lost over the past few seasons. Arsenal are in the midst of an identity crisis. For large portions of the past few seasons, our style of football has been unrecognizable and difficult to classify. Arsenal seem like […]
It’s amazing how much of a difference one win can make. Suddenly the season doesn’t look beyond salvation, the players don’t look beyond caring and the formation doesn’t look like a stop-gap solution. However what I think made this win stand out was: a) we’ve beaten a top six side b) this side is spearheaded […]
We face Manchester United today, but the game will definitely miss the spark of an important rivalry. It’s 5th vs 6th, and even a win won’t move Arsenal above United. In the end, whether we finish the campaign 5th or 6th doesn’t really matter. I have next to no hope we can break into the […]
Finally. A league win. Some good football played after the opener. A clean sheet. Seems like an eternity since Arsenal have combined all of the above. A lot of stuff to discuss, so I’ll just crack on. A tale of two parts No, not halves. Although Arsene’s men visibly cranked up the pressure after the […]
Arsenal is powering their way through the Champions League, but not without issues. As well as many injured players, could Arsenal’s manager be getting cold feet? Arsene Wenger has admitted that he had been repeatedly courted for the PSG job, conceding that their president Nasser al-Khelafi had offered him the job on three separate occasions. […]
Howdy. We take on Aston Villa today in the last game of the season and we all know the possible outcomes: a win can still elevate us to 2nd, a loss drop to 4th. Both scenarios are rather unlikely, so a 3rd-place finish seems in order. Team news update Ozil is back up again, neither […]
