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.

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 […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes: Worryingly Easy for City? Or 1st Game “Free Pass” for Arsenal?
Well, that looked like a true team against a new team. Not an excuse, just facts in action. Formation 4-2-3-1 POSITIVES * Maitland Niles’s glides in possession and exudes so much confidence on the ball. I hope, as he gets older he keeps this carefree love for the ball and does not over think or […]
Pessimist: Lost To City – Optimist: Lost To City
Arsenal 0-2 Manchester City – Premier League review – 18/19 season opener City are the champions, and we knew it wouldn’t be easy. However, it was a good defeat, if that makes sense. City were the better team overall, and had more chances to score. Though I think we looked to get forward, and […]
No need for panic despite humbling defeat to City
Arsenal are no strangers to a home defeat on the opening day of a new league season – to Villa in 2013 and West Ham in 2015, in case you needed reminding – but unlike those morale-sapping collapses, their defeat to Manchester City in Unai Emery’s first game in charge need not cause alarm. It […]
