Hard to watch Arsenal without a Plan v Bate after watching Spurs crush Dortmund
I watched most of Spurs match against Borussia Dortmund and it was hard to take the disparity between their performance and that disaster last night. The stadium is bouncing and the fans are belting out their songs when their team is playing. In contrast, we had a decent amount of proper fans who made the […]
After Emery goes defensive and loses to Bate – Do we Trust this man ‘with no style in our Transition.
Arsenal suffered one of the worst results in their European history by losing 1-0 in Borisov to Belarusian side BATE. Lacazette was sent off for violent conduct in a game that summed up the Arsenal performance. The Wrong Man? There’s no hiding that Unai Emery inherited a very weak and poor Arsenal side in comparison […]
BATE 1-0 Arsenal: The Heat Is On Emery As Cautious Game-plan Backfires In Belarus [Positive Needs & Hopes]
Should’ve been easy, but just too difficult! POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES One of the most impactful pre-game team talks I can remember came when I was a teenager. My coach was a man called Roy Butler and I was playing for St.Albans. It was a big game. We were the better team on paper but […]

Player Ratings see Iwobi the Star Man as Arsenal edge the Herbert Chapman Derby
The Herbert Chapman derby, as it were, ended in an Arsenal win. The game perhaps wasn’t the best, but I’m sure Mr Chapman is looking down and happy to see both of his prodigy performing in the top division. His Yorkshire former club is certainly going down this season – though on this showing they […]
Arsenal barely take three points from lowly Terriers under the watchful eye of The Worrier – Match Review [Positive Needs 7 Hopes]
Intensity or Exhaustion… The clear Arsenal style POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES That was absolutely maddening. Almost embarrassing. I’ll get on to that (see first point in ‘NEEDS section), but for now I want to talk about a theme that I see. There has been much talk recently about what Emery’s style is. Almost all of […]
Title race views – City retention or a new Scouse Red dawn?
Whilst our good friends are in third place, I think it’s unrealistic that they will win the league. This isn’t just rivalry talking but they’re not as good as Liverpool and City. Besides, Mr. Pochettino doesn’t like winning trophies, and they may not even open their ground this season. Liverpool hasn’t won the Premier League, […]
