The Good, The Bad and the Downright Ugly – Player Performances at Stoke
POSITIVE Aaron Ramsey The Welsh Jesus has returned. Against Stoke, Ramsey showed a glimpse of the player who shone in the 13/14 season. His first touch was sharp, it allowed him to quickly pick out an offensive pass; no more 360′ wide-turns, slowing down our attack. Watching him off the ball was a revelation: his […]

Arsenal Sell Everything. Who cares, the World is going to end anyway
Sell everything, who cares the world is going to end anyway! So well yeh, that is quite the nihilistic title for you to mull over on an Arsenal based website as you are sipping your Pimm’s and lemonade. As you may be able to tell, I am not the most serious or indeed the least […]

Reasonable Arsenal Expectations for 17/18 – 60 Goals between Lacazette, Giroiud and Alexis?
17/18 season expectations The season has started. And thus far, it’s reasonably good. A pulsating 4-3 win vs. Leicester City was added to a “friendly trophy” win vs. Chelsea at Wembley. Last season was poor, bar the FA Cup of course, though the past is the past, and we should look to the future. So […]
Invincible Flame-haired Punk: Highbury Hero Freddie Ljungberg
I’m setting the dial on the time machine to take us back to 1998, when a young 21 year old punk haired Swede announced his arrival in North London by coming off the bench at Highbury and within five minutes he cheekily lobbed the ball over Peter Schmeichel to score his first goal for The […]
What Arsenal Need to Build on From Their Week 1 Victory
Fixating on negatives is generally the easy thing to do. Negative thoughts and feelings are more powerful than their positive counterparts and elicit stronger responses from others. I’m choosing to focus on the key positives from Arsenal’s 4-3 opening day win over Leicester City. League titles are not won or lost in August. Arsenal’s title […]
Arsenal begin season being ‘Arsenally’ – Plus Zonal marking to be banned to shut up Jame Carragher
So, a new football season, and all the joy it brings, is upon us once more, and I’ve decided to have a go at bringing back the season diary. I’ve not written in quite a while now for one reason or another, so if this is shit you can blame it on that. I was […]
