Will this be a Jan-Aouar-ry to celebrate for Arsenal in their desperate quest for a creative outlet?
Having missed out on Hungarian playmaker – Dominik Szoboszlai, Arsenal are reportedly returning their sights back to a familiar face, Lyon and France international – Houssem Aouar. After chasing the central-midfielder all summer, Edu and the Arsenal board will hope to wrap up a deal and pick up where they left off in the upcoming […]
Arteta’s slippery slope: looking ahead to Arsenal’s next 3 Premier League fixtures [with Banana Skin Ratings]
After being knocked out of the Carabao Cup in last night’s dismal display against League Cup bullies, Manchester City, Arteta and his bruised Arsenal team will have to pick themselves and dust themselves off for a brutal festive season and a tough start to 2021. Londoners find themselves in strict lockdown for the foreseeable future, […]
Football without Flair, Future without Focus: how Arteta might benefit from a coaching priest…
Football without Flair POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I go through a check list before every game that I coach. I have to because I have a tendency to be an over thinker. Certainly when it comes to football and my team. I used to try to be clever and when I was a new coach […]
The Arsenal Players are Running Scared – Is the Cannon too heavy for certain chests?
Running Scared (and I am Beginning to think we might struggle to make top 4) So, the polarisation of Gooners has begun again. You are either ‘Arteta Out’ or ‘Blind Arsenal Faith’. There is no middle way. Gone are the days of reasoned debates and subjective thought process. These have been replaced by […]
What happened to Arteta’s Non-Negotiables? (AKA Does Willian have compromising Arteta nude pics?)
We have entered desperate times, and I did not think we would be saying this only a year into Mikel Arteta’s tenure. But here we are. I genuinely did not foresee him disappointing the optimism I had this quickly, but here we are. Let’s talk about what have been the key let-downs. Just to get […]
Red Bull Rescue Renaissance Needed At Arsenal?
Arsenal are on a rapid decline. There is no denying it. Their seat at the table with Europe’s elite is long gone. Players no longer see Arsenal as the ultimate dream goal, but as a mere stepping stone. Lack of direction from the top-down is affecting the club as a whole, and the direction of […]
Left Wanting More – Your Arsenal in Context
. I had no intention of posting this or any personal poem on here to be honest but circumstances have prompted me to do so. I am well aware that since losing my son, Arsenal and my support of them, has an entirely different context. I am also aware that is only me, and virtually […]
It’s time to get in the ambulance before Arsenal Rot v3.0 sets in
It’s time to get in the ambulance The Positives, Needs and Hopes will return but I don’t think they are relevant today. I think this is more relevant… Over the last few years I’ve been avoiding the doctor. I didn’t feel right and knew I needed to go but fear and the hope for a […]
Will Everton Away, be Martinelli Day?
Match day today, on a Saturday of all things. With Europa League on pause until next year there’s a chance for the Gunners to enter a less familiar routine and likely miss James Martin Saturday Kitchen in favour of match day preparation. It’ll be rare though as the Christmas schedule eventually kicks in the players […]
A sliding doors moment: how a scrappy 10-man draw at home could turn Arsenal’s season around…
A sliding doors moment POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES The headlines were being written. Two big hammers were about to be swung. ‘Arsenal with worst record in the history of the club.’ ‘Arteta has to go!’ As most of us react out of anger, that could’ve been enough. Done. Rip everything up and change it. We […]
