‘The Confidence Platform’ I saw two teams who have good players. I saw two teams who have a few great players. I also saw two teams lacking in confidence and beside Aubameyang, the great weren’t even good and the good were mediocre. I do however remind myself that football is 50% attacking and 50% defending.

Wonderful. Painful. Awful. Vital Here’s some facts…. 1) We rarely win when Chelsea, Spurs and Utd lose. We did. 2) We are 3 points ahead of all three of them after 6 games. 3) We played over a half with 10 men and won. 4) From a losing position too. Twice. 5) We are […]
‘THE £50M MAN’ When I was young, clubs invested in Academies because they hoped that they could get a small handful break through to help the first team. That has changed somewhat. Now, clubs hope for this but also have the dream that a gem will come along that they can sell for big bucks […]
Arsenal’s first Europa League game of the campaign will be a welcome distraction from the Premier League. Following the capitulation at Watford, the mood around the Emirates is far from upbeat. Five games into the season isn’t the time to panic. But the rumours that are circling the club about players not understanding the manager’s […]
You can’t win anything with kids It’s Wednesday 12th August 2020 & Julian Nagelsmann is about to start his first pre-match press conference of the new season. It had been an interesting summer in the transfer market. Mustafi and Xhaka had joined Yeovil Town on deadline day, both stating it had been a childhood dream […]
Watford 2-2 Arsenal Premier League Review – 15th Sept., 2019 – Vicarage Road, Watford Same old Arsenal. Always a bad culture.. It always creases me up when I hear the chant “same old Arsenal; always cheating!” It often arises when we’re awarded a foul, and one that is legitimate per the IFAB Laws […]
‘EMERY LEFT NAKED’ I’m jumping straight into this one…. Holding, Tierney and Bellerin should make us better but we didn’t capitulate in the second half because those three weren’t playing. When you’ve allowed more shots (96) than any team in any of the top 5 leagues in Europe this season, it’s the coach. Just FYI… […]
Matteo Guendouzi’s call up to the French National Team seems like just rewards following his performance in the North London Derby. His first international cap, following an injury to Paul Pogba, marks a wonderful year for the youngster whose meteoric rise has shocked even the most optimistic of Arsenal supporters. The precocious talent who was […]
Us 2-2 Them Emirates Stadium, September 1, 2019 So it ended all square vs. the Scum. Despite some apparent faults at Spurs with Pochettino, Eriksen, et al, we weren’t able to capitalise and get the win. I feel a draw here was fair, in honesty. The narrative from some fans was that […]
Due to my unreliable alarm clock, I missed the game this morning. So not having any reference, except for the result via BCCSport, I thought I’d review the game based on my Twitter timeline. So here goes……. Pepe the Flop: ‘Oi where’s Pepe’s receipt. Has it been 30 days?’ Pepe the Genius: ‘Pepe is […]
