Emery All-Stars – If Unai had his pick of his Premier League Rival’s Players to complete his team
Emery dream-team. Who can best suit his style, and help us compete for the league again? Things are shaping up under Emery. A number of the defensive issues remain. But then it’s often said that a team takes the shape of a manager’s footballing philosophy, and even true persona, over time. Wenger is […]
Best Of Enemies: Wenger-Ferguson, Relive One of Sport’s Greatest Rivalries
There have been many great sporting rivalries over the years. Muhammad Ali versus Joe Frazier, Bjorn Borg versus John McEnroe, Sebastian Coe versus Steve Ovett and Nigel Benn versus Chris Eubank are just a few unforgettable rivalries. What they all had in common was they all had a real edge to them. They didn’t really […]
Hector Bellerin – Breaking The Mould: a true Arsenal pioneer
Hector Bellerin – the pioneer A neat traditional side-parting echoing a time gone, a conforming throwback to the George Graham days – and whatever you do, don’t forget those black boots. Hector Bellerin certainly doesn’t subscribe to any of the above. A talented, passionate, principled and intelligent young man who is doing things his own […]
Will He Stay Or Will He Go? Ramsey’s Arsenal Future Analysed
Aaron Ramsey – Is the club at fault? Or is it him? Aaron Ramsey is a player I respect a lot. He’s not a legend in my eyes – don’t get me wrong, he’s clearly not rubbish. But then he hasn’t done it consistently. This is for me my definition of a legend. […]
If Emery wants to persist this way surely Holding and Leno can’t do worse than Sokratis and Cech?
The Gunners notched their first away win this season, and made it two league wins on the trot in the process, but I think it will be fair to say the manner of the win raised more questions than it answered. Let’s get straight to it. Cech’s distribution is abysmal – again While it’s clear […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes: Arsenal grab the win they often leave behind – thanks to Lacazette’s extra gear
At half time I often check the thoughts of a few on twitter. Emotions can cloud. Clive Palmer @clivepafc is becoming increasingly well respected and often has the pulse. Today my main thought concurred with his: in-game management needed to be improved. Emery makes statements at half time either with subs or obvious improvements. The […]
MOTM Lacazette takes his chance as Arsenal show Bouncebackability and Character in Cardiff
Cardiff City 2-3 Arsenal – Premier League review A hard fought win in the Welsh capital for us, and about time we got another away win. Our last trip to this part of our country saw one of our worst defeats last season. But today, we got the win, and overall it was […]
Ozil set to return at Cardiff but will he be providing the ammunition for Aubameyang or Lacazette?
Hi everyone. We face Cardiff away this coming Sunday and the game will come as another test of our credentials. After an underwhelming, though somewhat expected, outcome of the first two games, the Gunners went on to win against West Ham. The performance was not ideal from what I have glimpsed, but at least we […]
A Rant about Arsenal Season Tickets being the most expensive, NOT – Lies, damned lies, and statistics.
It is that time of year again. The time of the year when the tabloid press roll out their unsubstantiated, fake news regarding that old chestnut, ‘Arsenal’s overpriced Season Tickets’. The Current Bun’s illegitimate half-sister (The Mirror) ran with the usual: “Arsenal fans hit hardest, Arsenal revealed as most expensive Premier League club […]
Was Wenger the problem? Are Ozil, Xhaka or Bellerin the problem? OR ARE OUR FANS THE ISSUE?
…aaaaaand we are back to square one. Three games into a new season, with a new head coach and five new faces added to the team and all I see is fans’ unrest. All the nice pre-season talk about getting behind the new head coach and the team seems gone already, the good vibes […]
