Arsenal entered the international break having snatched a late 1-1 draw against a dogged and determined Wolves side who had a claim for all three points in north London. Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s late cross-shot cancelled out Ivan Cavaleiro’s first-half opener at Emirates Stadium. It’s now 3 games without a victory for Arsenal, who’d won 7 […]
Crystal Palace 2-2 Arsenal Premier League review This was a real blood and guts game. Palace had a game plan, and this was to rough up, tackle, press, and hassle us. And it worked for them, largely. They were not high up in the table, however, they hadn’t scored a goal before today at […]
Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal – Premier League preview It’s north vs. south London on Sunday, and the media as usual term this a “London derby”. Yes, technically it’s accurate. We’re both in the same city, so we’re geographically close. However, derby to me denotes rivalry, hate, and animosity. This for us only applies to […]
‘A few weeks before we sort of agreed and I was ready to sign’, Aaron Ramsey told the always enjoyable Amy Lawrence, yet he didn’t put pen to paper. By the sound of it, everyone was happy with the outcome of the negotiations and Aaron Ramsey looked set to extend his stay in North London […]
As it should be, a coach of a top side equips his lacklustre team at half time to have new ideas. Transforms and swings the game from east to west. Mr Emery, you impressed. Puel may have found a great tactical plan first half but when it mattered your decisions completely swung the game. Also, […]
Started off slow but out “Foxed” Leicester. This game showed a similar pattern to that of the Watford, Everton, and West Ham games. Leicester clearly had a game plan, which was to press us high up the pitch, and it worked to a good degree. Again, we started slow, and then grew into and […]
Winter is coming… There’s a bizarre feeling rippling out of its epicentre of N5 at the moment; “We’ve got our Arsenal back!” The above was sang in unison and gusto during the 5-1 win on the banks of the Thames last weekend. It might have upset some of the armchair followers of Arsenal who are […]
Now when a match begins first thing I look out for is defensive improvement from Arsenal. Perhaps ironic given our flaws under Arsene Wenger, whose defense was as rag-tag as it gets in the last few seasons. With the Frenchman I guess I just gave up at some point. I realised Wenger was unlikely to […]
The title isn’t meant to be disrespectful. But I’m indifferent really, and in some small measure disappointed. I have nothing against him and wish him well at his new club. Ivan Gazidis has issued the following message to the Arsenal fans, following his decision to leave the club — Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) September 18, 2018 […]
Aaron Ramsey – Is the club at fault? Or is it him? Aaron Ramsey is a player I respect a lot. He’s not a legend in my eyes – don’t get me wrong, he’s clearly not rubbish. But then he hasn’t done it consistently. This is for me my definition of a legend. […]
