Arsenal are City’s Achilles Heel so let’s win this for Santi’s New Achilles
We face Manchester City today and it’s fair to say Pep’s side is likely to provide us with the sternest test yet. Our campaign has been hit-and-miss up to date, although I do have to give the team credit for recovering after (another) horrendous start. Since collapsing at Anfield we have lost only once in […]
Can Arsenal halt City’s quest for Invincibility? Match Preview
Man City vs. Arsenal Preview Etihad Stadium, Sunday 5th November 2017 It’s Pep at the Etihad, and the pretender to our Invincibles throne. Can we kill their claim to this throne? Can we really? Who knows? City have been superlative this season. Yes, they were at the start of last season. But then this is […]
Theo, What have you done for me lately? (Remix)
Theo, What have you done for me lately? Not a big Janet Jackson fan, but not a big Theo fan either Once upon a time you were the next big thing When you signed, we bigged you up all time Sven believed and took with the team to Germany But that was just a […]
Does Arséne have Pep in his Step?
They hang over us like a cloak of impending doom: big games against our top-of-the-table rivals which have given Gooners little joy in recent years. Many cite the reasons for our shortcomings as style of play only being conducive to beating bottom half teams, lack of tactical flexibility, or even lack of overall quality/team depth. […]

The current situation in the league whereby the amount of money spent in the transfer market […]
B Movie Performance from Arsenal’s B Team with no one pushing for the A Team
Arsenal 0-0 Red Star Belgrade Europa League Group Stage That was dull. Was it a lack of urgency? Or that we didn’t think we needed to win this? It seems odd to ask, but then we are through to the next round. And Red Star didn’t offer much either. The first half had few chances […]
Granit Xhaka – Right Player in Wrong Place? Does Structure need to change to 3142 to see his best?
Xhaka………right player, wrong place? The title is confusing, but I’m not saying we should sell him. I don’t think he has been stellar since he joined us. However, he is a good player, and it’s possible that his billing has been off. He’s not the Swiss Vieira, nor the Arsenal Dembele/Wanyama/Kante. He’s his own player, […]

Arsenal on Twitter: Twisted and Bitter – time for change
This comes from my heart, Gooners: Arsenal Twitter deserves to be shut down. Some of you might have noticed that I’ve been really quiet and didn’t write anything for some time, as well as not interacting much – if at all – on social media; I’m not protesting, boycotting or anything like that, I’m just […]
The Importance of Building Play From the Back with Arsenal’s 3 Central Defender System
Much of the Arsenal chat of late has revolved around the effectiveness of our recent Premier League lineups featuring the high-profile front 3 of Lacazette, Ozil, and Alexis. In their first competitive fixture together they displayed the cohesion of a far more experienced attack line as they combined for 3 goals and 2 assists in […]
