Arsenal’s lacklustre draw with Wolves shows how great Emery’s task is
Arsenal entered the international break having snatched a late 1-1 draw against a dogged and determined Wolves side who had a claim for all three points in north London. Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s late cross-shot cancelled out Ivan Cavaleiro’s first-half opener at Emirates Stadium. It’s now 3 games without a victory for Arsenal, who’d won 7 […]
Stop Holding Rob Back! The future of Arsenal’s young CB is bright.
Despite being much maligned in his later tenure, Arsene Wenger didn’t do all bad. I don’t think anything in life is absolutely good or bad. Apart from the FA Cup wins, he signed a then little-known defender called Rob Holding from Bolton Wanderers, and the usual points of “who is he?!”, “Mr. Wenger, what you […]

#DoItForDanny: how Arsenal can deal with a physical Wolves
After the bore draw and horror injury for Danny Welbeck, we face Wolverhampton Wanderers at home. Wolves are a welcome addition to the Premier League, and despite not featuring much in the top division of late, they are a football club of some note. They’ve won the league three times (more times than Spurs incidentally), […]
Arsenal Crying out for ‘Individual Brilliance and unpredictability – Positives, Needs and hopes from 0-0 v Sporting
Brilliance needed… Positives, Needs and Hopes This was an interesting game to misread. It is lazy to state that we were simply ‘disappointing’ or that the game was ‘dull.’ Arsenal did many things well. You have to in order to have 75% possession and to get through any game without your opponent having a chance. […]
Aaron Ramsey: dividing opinion even with his departure
It’s fair to say that Aaron Ramsey has divided Gooner opinion since he joined Arsenal from Cardiff as a 17-year-old in 2008. Snatched from beneath Sir Alex’s nose in one of Wenger’s better deals, Ramsey seemed an exciting young prospect. Axed down in an horrific tackle by Stoke orc, Ryan Shawcross – it looked like […]
