Premier League Season Preview 2017/18 So the new season is but days away, it feels both an age away but also just like yesterday that Arsenal lit Wembley up during the epic curtain closer of the FA cup final. There are so many changes in football this coming season, with many clubs getting new managers […]
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 […]
We play West Ham today, and it’s about time we got a league win under our belts. Despite beating Slaven Bilic’s side comfortably back in December, the game up until half-time was much more even than the final score suggested. It was, indeed, reflected in the half-time score – 1-0 to the Arsenal in the […]
I have to admit I was starting to forget how good a comprehensive win feels. Think our last win happened back in October, when we thrashed Ludogorets. November has been pretty mean in terms of wins, let alone comfortable ones. But yesterday I was reminded of that feeling. After a pretty depressing showing in the […]
Howdy. We face West Ham at Upton Park today in what will provide us with a chance to make up ground on the three frontrunners. Liverpool don’t play until Sunday, while City and Chelsea play one another, which means at least one team will drop points. Alas, they can’t both drop points… The last meetings […]
Leicester may have finally achieved the unimaginable, and clinched the Barclays Premier League Title for 2015/16 – but I have a sneaky suspicion that there is more craziness to come in this lunatic season. And – as usual – Arsenal has a huge role to play. The game against Manchester City at the Etihad this Sunday […]
Aaron Ramsey is becoming a very divisive character nowadays. At only 25 years of age, this fella has already endured some very hard times in his career and is likely to get some more stick from fans, especially if Arsène Wenger keeps playing him alongside Francis Coquelin in midfield. I still don’t know what to […]
Where does Aaron Ramsey fit in with this current Arsenal side? It is sort of heart-breaking in a way to find myself clutching at straws over a player whom we do all adore (everyone except Piers Morgan, perhaps), but unfortunately it is a situation we indeed find ourselves in. Our vast array of crafty midfield technicians […]
A little perspective… Let’s get straight to the point: Sunday was disappointing, demoralising, and every other negative adjective you can think of. Seven days earlier, we played a game that defied the statistics, shamed the haters and lost some unfortunate souls a bit of money. How did we then lose to a team against whom […]
As the game petered out towards its inevitable conclusion, I was fuming. I couldn’t comprehend what was happening. I was sitting in an empty sports bar in Greece in the middle of nowhere in smoldering heat and wished dearly I hadn’t made it to the game. Arsenal produced a shambles of a performance. During the […]
