Would a Holding and Chambers Partnership give us a true Captain and Vice-Captain in the future?
I agree that we were lacking confidence on the ball, however, Utd. played with confidence for the first half hour. I was surprised because they have been awful in recent matches. They have no new players to be enthused over and we have been improving, but it was them who fired passes all around the […]
Saka the Star Man – Player and Manager Ratings and Review from Old Trafford
Man United 1-1 Arsenal Premier League review We didn’t get the win at Old Trafford after all. It’s been since 2006 and we’re still waiting…. Overall, a draw was a fair result. Both sides had good chances and created moments in the 90 minutes. However, from our standpoint, I feel it’s a disappointment. […]
United 1-1 Arsenal: The Confidence Platform – on the plus side: it could have been worse
‘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. […]
Will Emery’s alliance with Xhaka ultimately cost Arsenal’s Champion’s League Aspirations and his job?
Well it has been quite a week supporting The Arsenal. A stirring come back in the Premier League, an exciting victory over Nottingham Forest in the League Cup, a first glimpse of Kieran Tierney, the return of Holding and Bellerin and the captaincy decision played out in the public arena. The decision to name Granit […]
“They are down so let’s make them downer!” – It’s time for a 13 year overdue Premier League win at Old Trafford
Manchester United vs. Arsenal PL Preview The battle of the (former) titans is due again. We haven’t won there in the league at least since 2006 – when a certain Mr. Adebayor scored the winner. The only other victory has been an FA Cup win on route to our triumph in 2015, when […]
The Man who promised a plan has no plan – Emery must GO
Unai Emery must go. This is not one of those post-defeat, rage-fuelled tantrums but a conclusion I came to after a long reflection. I held this back until after the Carabao Cup game against Nottingham Forest to avoid any connection between to over-laborious win against Aston Villa in the Premier League and my piece. I’ve […]
Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest: The Most Important Match Of The Season?
‘THE MOST IMPORTANT MATCH OF THE SEASON?’ Really? I think so. Why? Unless Emery is stubborn or blind, he was smacked in the face with a handful of potential changes that he could make based on what we all saw. Changes that could swing our season from ‘decent results, poor performances but fall short again’ […]
Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest – The future’s bright – the future is Arsenal? [+ Player Ratings]
The future’s bright – the future is Arsenal? Arsenal 5-0 Nottingham Forest – League Cup review Orange may have morphed into EE – but their old and paraphrased slogan seems applicable here. Old heads like Ozil performed well, but the young and new guns shone. All of this was mixed with our good […]
Arsenal 3-2 Aston Villa: Wonderful. Painful. Awful. Vital. [Positive Needs & Hopes]
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 […]
“Wrighty-esque” Eddie cementing his Arsenal future at Leeds [Exclusive Interview]
In October 2017 I wrote about a young Arsenal lion named Eddie Nketiah who came roaring to prominence with the winning goal in the league cup victory for Arsenal against Norwich. At the time Arsenal’s front line consisted of Theo Walcott , Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud, who all seemed to be struggling for form […]
