An actual pre-NLD Arsenal Spurs Combined XI (that isn’t clickbait!)
A combined XI from Danny Mills had a rather…interesting response. Most, as can be seen, were Spurs players, and even overhyped ones like Harry Winks. Pepe is class but cannot feature over more experienced and PL-proven players like Auba and Laca. And Lloris IMHO has, of course, won the WC and was France’s captain […]
Wenger’s Arsenal had no Plan B – Emery’s seems to have no Plan A!
I am a realist, and after the highs of the transfer window it’s back down to Earth. There is still a lot of work to be done at the Arsenal. There is still no identity to our team. There is no cohesion and we no longer have our own style of football. This stems from […]
Will Arsenal Finish in the Top-4 of the Premier League?
The early stages of the 2019-20 campaign have been mostly positive for Arsenal. Unai Emery’s side won each of their first two fixtures of the season before a 3-1 setback at Anfield in matchweek 3. There’s no shame in losing a game at Anfield with the way Liverpool are currently constructed, and there were a […]
We have swapped Calamity and Gaffs in Mustafi for an Older Version Gaffster in Luiz
Victor’s response to the GT Match review of Anfield defeat ……… I am a bit hesitant to criticise an article by someone who is a coach and so I will stick to some basic observations for which a coach’s badge is not necessary. For instance, I did a critique at the time I […]
Nicolas Pepe – Long Overdue speed and dancing feet, to get us Gooners out of our seat
Liverpool’s dominance at Anfield on Sunday acted as a reminder, not that anyone really needed reminding, that the Premier League is a two horse race. Following the team’s lacklustre performance, to be considered anything other than also rans would be an insult to the shadows which Arsenal chased on Saturday. And yet, the mood remains […]
When Unai went to Anfield – A little ditty on a result that was a bit …..
When Unai went to Anfield……. When Unai went to Anfield, I don’t think he got it right, He went too narrow in midfield With no width left or right When Unai went to Anfield He went with two up top To try and catch them on the break It didn’t work in front of the […]
The Cunning Plan for Anfield backfired but at least we had a Plan. – Review & Player Ratings
Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal Premier League review I’m not sure what to think here. Yes, it was another defeat at Anfield. It’s been a ground for us, over the past several decades, of immense highs and woeful lows. This was a low, but not as bad as last season’s 5-1 battering, or the 4-0 […]
Liverpool 3-1 Arsenal: The Game of 7 Truths – the hidden lessons in yesterday’s loss
‘The Game of 7 Truths’ Sometimes we watch and it’s obvious what went right and wrong. Sometimes we watch and it isn’t because there were so many components to what happened. That was Liverpool vs Arsenal. So much truth and it comes from all directions. 1) Arsenal were dangerous going forward […]
Arsenal for life: local lad and Highbury Legend – the one and only Pat Rice
It’s back once again to the swinging sixties in the time machine for the latest Highbury Hero. In December 1964 a young local lad signed Schoolboy forms to join The Arsenal. Never has a player been so determined, so driven and worked so hard at his game to reach the standard to be an Arsenal […]
Xhaka: Is the Swiss Midfielder’s Return a Big Plus?
Humanity often has the habit of looking towards the future and forgetting the past. Not from a sanguine or optimistic standpoint but in a disregard for that which has served them well. We are quick to throw out that which is not broken and upgrade or update for the sake of appearances. Granit Xhaka, for […]
