Bournemouth 2-1 Arsenal Premier League Matchday 22 Vitality Stadium – January 14th, 2018 Bournemouth grabs first ever win over Arsenal More bad news? Seems like it. It doesn’t rain, but it pours, seemingly….. The starting line-up didn’t include Sanchez, amidst the speculation of him joining United (over City no less). Iwobi, despite his recent […]
It was my timid hope before the game that the 0-0 draw against Chelsea in midweek was a bit of a turning point. A kind of springboard into league games, a platform, defensive first and foremost, which we can build on. This timid hope was squashed as Arsenal reverted back to type. Without the departing […]
The trip to the south coast in on the cards for the Gunners and it presents Arsene Wenger’s men with a chance to finally win a league game and somewhat improve their away record in the process. Last year’s game was absolute bonkers. Eddie Howe’s men expertly capitalized on our slow start and susceptibility to […]
Yesterday’s London derby against Chelsea in the first leg of the Carabao Cup provided very little in terms of action but the post-match press conference left many Arsenal fans’ tongues wagging. The topic on everyone’s lips was the departure of Francis Coquelin to Valencia. The departure of Francis Coquelin represents the departure of another promising […]
Chelsea 0-0 Arsenal Carabao Cup Semi-Final Leg 1 Stamford Bridge • January 10, 2018 Where did this come from? My latest match reviews have been pretty morose. Well, it’s pretty much on point, considering we’ve played the same bad stuff, and hit new lows. But today, we did OK. Chelsea had a stronger team out […]

All the kids on my street supported United or Liverpool, because of their Southern African goalkeeper connections: Bailey for United and Grobbelaar for ‘Pool. Problem was: I didn’t like the colour red – so […]
We take on Chelsea for the the second time inside 6 days and my fear Wenger is going to field a squad not dissimilar to the one which crashed out of the cup three days ago. Mercifully, there’s the small matter of these guys having to play a second game in just a matter of […]
Richard Branson once said, “We are human beings, not human doings”. This is a great mantra for life, (and one I should personally follow a lot closer) but this doesn’t work for a football club. Just being a football club doesn’t cut it. You have to do as well and Arsenal Football Club are not […]
Nottingham Forest 4-2 Arsenal FA Cup 3rd Round January 7th 2018 This is a new low. Forest have tradition, and have done things we haven’t (European Cup). But then we allowed them to bully us, press us, and dominate our defence. Online betting sites such as 888Sport and virtually the whole footballing world had Arsenal […]
It’s October 19, 2016, and Arsenal is facing Ludogorets in the Champions League group stage. Yeah, that game where Ozil gets the hat-trick. Arsenal is in form, having won its last 6 matches, including the first 2 in the group, and is facing a team at the Emirates that has only one Champions League victory […]
