A fellow contributor here, Mr. Dougie Cazorla, made a great piece on how Wenger does “do tactics”, but not well enough. I agree with his analysis in very large part. However, I think it is a valid criticism, albeit stretched and distorted somewhat. So, using my best colloquial/non-Standard English: is the notion that Wenger “don’t […]
When I sat down to write this review it suddenly hit me I cannot recall the last time I wrote about an Arsenal win. I went ahead and checked … It was on December 29, a 3-2 win over Palace. Now, admittedly, it’s partially my fault. I couldn’t cover the win over Chelsea in semis, […]
Arsenal 3-0 Watford We had the cojones…shame Deeney didn’t…. In a way it’s funny, since not only was “cojones” a major trending word on Twitter, it has triggered us Gooners in a big way. And rightly so, since Deeney’s comments in our loss to Watford were true, though in highly poor taste. However, we […]

Recent weeks have been an absolute roller coaster ride for Arsenal fans. The highs of prominent new signings, re-signing Mesut Ozil while breaking our wage structure, and setting yet another transfer record have given way to the extreme lows of four straight losses for the first time since 2002 and a league position 33 points […]
Nietzsche Knows Best Arsene arrived at Arsenal on 1st October 1996, under a blaze of overwhelming mockery. The press didn’t know him, the fans didn’t know him and the players didn’t know him. Tony Adams summed up the general consensus: “At first, I thought, What does this Frenchman know about football? He wears glasses and […]
Brighton and Hove Albion 2-1 Arsenal Premier League Matchday 29 Amex Stadium It’s more negativity here. Since we lost away. Again. We actually started off well, at least within the first 10 minutes or so. We had some chances via Ozil and Wilshere, but then we conceded a soft goal from a set piece. The […]
We visit Brighton today as the search for some semblance of form goes on. I have to admit it’s been quite a while since I’ve felt this down before writing a preview. Possibly it compares to the events of 2016, when, after beating Leicester, we went on to lose to United and and Swansea. Right […]
3D2Q ?? Despondency, Disarray and Despair are the key words at present. Despondency: low spirits from loss of hope or courage; dejection The team appears to have given up, no drive, no commitment and worst of all no pride. Disarray: a state of disorganization or untidiness The team appears to have no idea, no […]
At present, we are lying 6th in the Premier League table with 45 points, 8 points behind Chelsea and 12 points behind Tottenham in 4th. We are a remarkable 30 points behind league leaders Manchester City, who put us to the sword for the second time in a week at the Emirates last night, having […]
