Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal – Is Guendouzi becoming essential to how Emery wants to play, while Stars Fade?
While it’s never pleasant to witness your team lose any game of football, let alone several on the trot, I find it extremely hard to get bent out of shape this morning. Context is king here, of course. Had we lost the two opening fixtures under Arsene Wenger, people would have been out in force […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes from CFV v AFC – The past still influences the present as Emery still fixing pre-existing problems
Positives, Needs and Hopes…. The past still influences the present This still looks like a Wenger side. Do not blame Emery yet. As I said last week, Arsi ene Wenger left this team with such a complacent tactical attitude and with no repercussions for lack of work ethic. It will therefore take longer than we […]
Player Ratings and Impressions of Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal – We lose “Kings of London” derby
Chelsea 3-2 Arsenal – Premier League Review Another “acceptable” loss…… The “Kings of London” derby ended in a defeat. And like the City game, it was a mix of bad and good. The bad was poor defending and positioning. In some cases, our finishing wasn’t that good either. But the good was […]
It’s Undoubtedly Torreira and Lacazette time at the Bridge
Hello everyone. It’s been a while since I wrote home. Hopefully that will change from now on. It’s Chelsea away this Saturday as Emery tries to get a better result out of his team than on the opening day. I hasten to add some of our play against City was encouraging and will hopefully continue […]
Kings of London “derby” – Defence, midfield, attack analysis – Chelsea vs. Arsenal – preview
Chelsea vs. Arsenal – Premier League preview Kings of London “derby” – Defence, midfield, attack analysis Spurs are the enemy, but Chelsea and Arsenal are two global clubs. Tottenham, hence their new and comically overdue and over-budget ground, are a wannabe global player. But we and Chelsea certainly are. We both hold a global […]
Can Arsenal Bounce Back At The Bridge? Matchweek 2 PL Predictions
After a dismal opening day defeat, Arsenal travel to Stamford Bridge in a game no side will take lightly, Ross and I predict the outcomes of the 10 games this week. Cardiff v Newcastle Ross: Cardiff will be up for it considering it’s their first home game of the season. However I think Newcastle […]
Mr. Arsenal….captain, leader, legend….but wrong on our opening day defeat…
Mr. Arsenal….captain, leader, legend….but wrong on our opening day defeat… He’s a boss in many ways. I doubt there are many, if any, Gooners alive who don’t rate Tony Adams. Every club seemingly has a pre-eminent player, who represents the best triumphs and spirit of the club in question. For Man United, it’s […]
Emery’s Success will be down to the developing Press so time for the players to Im’press’ him
There has been much written in the aftermath of the opening weekend defeat in Emery’s first competitive match. I have read much of it, listened to more and even found myself wholly unready to talk about what went wrong on the radio on Monday. It is difficult because I am certain the vast majority of […]
Judas to Spurs but Double Winning Invincible Highbury Hero to Gunners – Sol Campbell
Just a relatively short hop back in the time machine to the summer of 2001, when Tottenham’s captain crossed the great divide in the most sensational Arsenal transfer of them all. Instantly becoming a Highbury Hero before he had even kicked a ball for us. Yes, it’s Sol Campbell! Sol was a rock at the […]
Positive Signs against City but the Future under Emery ultimately will depend on Kroenke’s Investment
I have read the current contributions by various writers and I have gleaned a few of their conclusions, which I find interesting. The first and somewhat disappointing one is that sections of the crowd were already verbally abusive on the first match of the season and many left early. It is particularly disappointing because it […]
