A ‘COUTINHO SIGNING’ – The Missing Link between Arsenal’s Midfield and Attack?
‘Typical Arsenal’ is how I would describe our last three results. Impressive displays against two elite teams in Europe followed by a game, where we fail to deliver when the emphasis is on us to impose our game. What the result against Aston Villa does is it continues to provide a gentle reminder that the […]
The 90 Minute Commercial: predictable Arsenal display proves what we already know – Gunners lack creativity. [Positive Needs & Hopes]
The 90 minute commercial Sometimes I wonder why Coca Cola bother with advertising. Where I live many people call any fizzy drink ‘a Coke.’ That’s when you know you’ve got a successful product, right?

An exclusive report from the Athletic’s David Ornstein caught my attention last week. The subject was Ainsley Maitland-Niles, and his desire leave Arsenal in pursuit of playing time.

That Performance was Nine Years Coming – Thank you MIkel Arteta!
Nine years coming POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES February 2011, I was truly impressed. Barcelona were peak. We were good but they were arguably the best team of all time. I always prefer to feel my football with my heart and the last time I was so impressed was this Barcelona game. We’ve won bigger […]
Arsenal Taking a Hybrid City and Liverpool look? Early indication of whats to come from Arteta
Arteta has certainly shown his adaptability in his use of different formations and systems since he took over. Pre COVID-19, Ozil was a regular feature in the side. 4-2-3-1 with Ozil in the whole was the way forward to get the best out of him. He’s the best player at the club who can drift […]
