Arsenal 2018 – the good, the bad, and the ugly At the time of writing, the Liverpool game at Anfield is still to come. But 2018 nonetheless is soon to end. It’s been a very mixed year for our club. Wenger, our greatest ever manager, left. This delighted many, but it was a required […]
Liverpool 5-1 Arsenal – Emery tweaks, Defence Leaks, Future’s Bleak? (Review + Player Ratings)
Did Emery replace our defence with a sieve? This may surprise some, but I think our display wasn’t all bad at Anfield. This ground is an odd one for us – we’ve had some immense highs (1989) and deep lows. This has to go along with the lows. We created chances in some […]
Temporary blip or year-end collapse? Emery needs to hit Arsenal’s Refresh button. Fast.
This game against Brighton has to be the worst performance from Arsenal this year. We had 68% possession and were a goal up after 6 minutes yet we could only manage a1-1 draw against a team whose players were shivering with fear at the start of the game. They could not string two passes together […]

Mesut Ozil – luxury or necessity? Arsenal’s Master Assister under the microscope.
Does Mesut Ozil do it in the big games? Mesut Ozil, our once record signing, is a divisive figure amongst us fans. Nobody, really, questions his innate quality. In raw technical terms, only perhaps Dennis Bergkamp or Santi Cazorla can surpass him. However, he is not as consistent as he could be, and in […]
C’mon Arsenal, light your fire! Got deadwood to burn… (Brighton 1-1 Arsenal)
Arsenal about to light the fire 🔥 POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Sometimes the coach needs to see something so poor in order for the fire to arrive. Ever since I moved from London to the US, I have greatly enjoyed living here but if I was to change something then this would be on the […]

Aubameyang Tops Scoring Charts as Gunners see off Classless Clarets
Arsenal 3-1 Burnley review This early kick-off was a chance to get a win after the Scum and Southampton defeats. And we got this, though it wasn’t all plain sailing. Burnley started in the relegation zone, and for this reason alone it was never going to be easy. Sokratis returned, and Elneny started as […]
Arsenal 3-1 Burnley: a more comfortable discomfort [Positive Needs & Hopes]
A more comfortable discomfort POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES When we look back on Emery’s first season I’d say that our first memory will be how he made us a team of men. We bought ‘men’ in the summer and the coach had us working like a team of ‘men.’ Today was uncomfortable throughout but a […]
A simple solution to Arsenal’s current woes – Positives, Needs and Hopes
The Summer Mistake POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES I’m not going in on the transfer team with two feet, but it is becoming very evident that Arsenal needed a natural winger last summer. Whether we kept Reiss Nelson or bought one or two of the names being brandished around, it is obvious that we don’t have […]
