Matteo Guendouzi: Matador or Rodeo Clown?
Matteo Guendouzi’s call up to the French National Team seems like just rewards following his performance in the North London Derby. His first international cap, following an injury to Paul Pogba, marks a wonderful year for the youngster whose meteoric rise has shocked even the most optimistic of Arsenal supporters. The precocious talent who was […]
Emery needs to be ruthless with those making ‘Individual Errors’ if Top 3 finish to be a reality
I am delighted to say that Guendouzi was most people’s man of the match. I have previously cautioned some fans who were trumpeting his skills because he had many faults caused by naivety and lack of experience. I did say though that he was a future star in the making. If he produces this quality […]
Arsenal 2-2 Spurs (Heart 0-1 Head): Fair result in fiercely-fought NLD [Incl. Player Ratings]
Us 2-2 Them Emirates Stadium, September 1, 2019 So it ended all square vs. the Scum. Despite some apparent faults at Spurs with Pochettino, Eriksen, et al, we weren’t able to capitalise and get the win. I feel a draw here was fair, in honesty. The narrative from some fans was that […]
Watching the #NLD on Twitter: (Not for the faint-hearted or easily-confused)!
Due to my unreliable alarm clock, I missed the game this morning. So not having any reference, except for the result via BCCSport, I thought I’d review the game based on my Twitter timeline. So here goes……. Pepe the Flop: ‘Oi where’s Pepe’s receipt. Has it been 30 days?’ Pepe the Genius: ‘Pepe is […]
Arsenal 2-2 Spurs: Guendouzi a rockstar, but backstage kills the band
‘Backstage kills the band’ The match was a snapshot of Arsenal over the last 10 years. On the ball, good enough to win. Much like a band they had some rockstars who had the crowd on their feet. Lacazette, Aubameyang and Pepe played some quality back up to the lead singer, Matteo Guendouzi. Unfortunately, […]
Arsenal/Spurs NLD Combined XI: this may not please Mustafi fans!
On one bright and sunny Wednesday afternoon I decided to get a little trim at the hairdressers, upon walking into the barbers , I found myself in a long queue with some other fine gentlemen of various degrees of baldness. I’d been meaning to write a North London derby starting 11 piece for some time […]

Arsenal Play Top 6 Rivals Back to Back AGAIN – Is it fair and is it just bad luck?
Unfavourable fixtures With the Premier League, well underway now and our next game against our North London rivals. I think it is time to address an issue. For the last two seasons Arsenal FC have been given back to back rival games and more importantly, have been again drawn at home again to play […]
Where the skirmishes will be won and lost ahead of Arsenal’s Ultimate Victory in the Battle of North London
So, it’s coming. Us vs. Them. 60,000 ground vs. 62,000 ground. And 30 major trophies vs. 17 major trophies. And a league title won in recent memory vs. a league only fully remembered by the very elderly. That lot has had some issues lately since Pochettino has made some public statements perhaps showing […]
