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 […]
We don’t Talk Anymore – Or Do we? (Has Arteta lost the changing room or not?)
“We don’t talk anymore. “ Rumours are abounding that Mikel’s relationship with David Luiz has broken down to the point where with neither will speak directly to each other. Pepe has stated he is unhappy at his standing at the club and is open to a January move. Xhaka is said to be unhappy […]
Arteta isn’t The Fixer – he’s The Future, and the future takes time. Trust The Process.
Southampton awaits tonight and the pressure against Mikel Arteta has never been greater in his short stint into football management. Now I know the instant reaction to a defeat results in micro analysing every detail and often an anger fuelled decision in that moment that everyone needs to be sacked. I often like to play […]
Could Arsenal and Arteta learn something from Hassenhüttl’s Southampton revival? (Match Preview)
Match Preview Arsenal welcome high-flying Southampton to the Emirates on Wednesday evening, in an attempt to turn around their miserable home form, which has seen them lose four league games in a row for the first time since 1959. The Gunners will look to ease the pressure on under-fire manager Mikel Arteta by picking up […]
Worst Start since 1974/75 and lessons to be learned from an Arsenal Manager who blooded Youth to save his season.
I have been writing for a while now that Arteta might give some of the younger players with a point to prove at Arsenal, a chance in the Premier League. These players are playing with imagination and fluency, admittedly against weaker opposition in the Europa, whilst the experienced stalwarts are stuttering from bad to worse […]
How much longer can Arteta ride on past glories? Time is definitely running out for the beleaguered Arsenal boss.
As soon as I saw the team selection for our game against Burnley, I felt deflated before a ball had even been kicked. Judging from the lack of noise from our supporters inside the stadium, I wasn’t the only one. Our starting lineups are as predictable and unimaginative as the majority of our league performances […]
