Can Arsenal clinch every point left and aim for a Top 3 finish?
CAN ARSENAL CLINCH EVERY POINT LEFT AND AIM FOR A TOP 3 FINISH? By Ashley Munson The football season is rapidly drawing to a close and the race for the top four – and subsequently qualification to the Champions League – is well and truly on. Arsenal have climbed back into fourth place to sit […]
Ramsey, Torreira and Lacazette should be the first 3 names on Emery’s Team Sheet in Naples
I agree with Dave`s analysis of the Watford match. In contrast, against Everton, I regretfully strongly disagreed with Marble Halls preview and particularly his selection for the game as he suggested Guendouzi and Elneny should play. I suppose that is why Football is such a fertile ground for diverse opinions. Surely the performance and the […]
Emery’s Arsenal Limousine has the appearance and spec but a different driver ‘at the wheel’ on away trips
Another away match and another performance that failed to inspire confidence but a valuable three points in the bag. As a fan you would like to simply sit back and enjoy the ride with a new chauffeur but at times Emery’s Arsenal conspire to make that difficult. Indeed, it sometimes seems that Emery’s executive limousine […]
Watford 0-1 Arsenal: 3 points without pressing, impressing or showing any cojones – we’ll take that! [Positive Needs & Hopes]
‘4 points, 2 points or none’ POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I have no interest in working at FIFA. Well, I might take a medium sized bung then take a sabbatical to Montego Bay for 30 years! I also don’t think that they should change the 3 points for a win system. It’s fine. When I […]
The North London Stadium Derby – how Spurs may struggle in Arsenal’s footsteps
Arsenal and Tottenham – Stadium comparisons/issues Arsenal and Spurs, with the opening of Tottenham’s new ground, will have some inevitable comparisons in their grounds’ financing and operations. Both us and them have built grounds for the same reasons – to provide a footing to compete at the highest levels. And revenue is all in […]
Woeful Away, Arsenal must dig deep to secure vital win against physical, high-flying Watford [Preview]
Watford vs. Arsenal Premier League preview We face Watford, and a certain Mr. Deeney, who notably said we lacked the balls (essentially) when he beat us 2-1 in 2017. This comment was perhaps a bit base, since it was on national TV (BT Sport), but it was warranted. We did lack the “cojones” […]
Arsenal 2-0 Napoli: Emery’s Firestarters Ramsey and Torreira Must Play [Positive Needs & Hopes]
Have we found the Firestarters? POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES What’s the fastest way to create belief in sport? Occasionally, you support a team who are so mentally strong that they make you mentally strong too. Most of the time though we arrive at the ground/turn on the TV and hope. I think the fastest way […]
Arsenal vs. Napoli Preview: can Emery get it right against Ancelotti’s high-flying Napoli
Arsenal vs. Napoli Preview – Europa League QF Preview After the poor game at Everton, we’re back in Europe, and this time vs. Napoli of Italy’s Serie A. This was, of course, the hardest draw in the competition – though I feel whoever wins this will go on to win the competition. However, despite […]
Everton 0-1 Arsenal: Outthought and outfought, leaving Gooners distraught [Match Review]
I wrote a blog after the last time Everton beat us at Goodison and I said that they deserved to win because they outhought, outfought and generally wanted the result more than us. I sat down with my son to watch the match and I could not beileve that Emery had selected Elneny and Guendouzi […]
Everton 1-0 Arsenal: The Absent Solution: Emery’s Missing Link [Positive Needs & Hopes]
‘The Absent Solution’ POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I made a prediction back in December that we would fall short this season. I’m not in the slightest bit interested in being right. My thought was based on one big missing link. Arsenal lack ‘individual brilliance’ on the dribble. We are very capable of collective brilliance (last […]
