Liverpool Preview: An Arsenal in Shambles Dreams of Anfield Redemption
It’s been a while since I wrote back home. Pardon such an abrupt disappearance from your radars, dear readers, but I’ve had an incredibly busy summer, much more than I could have imagined, or, indeed, would have liked. What I also couldn’t have imagined, and something I certainly don’t like, is that Arsenal had a […]
Liverpool v Arsenal Preview: There Will Be Goals, All Eyes On Alexis And Coutinho
Liverpool vs. Arsenal Preview Premier League – Sunday 27th August 2017 – Anfield Liverpool and Arsenal are similar in many ways. Both have achieved great success in the past, and desperately want to recapture those times. They also have great attacks, and woefully bad defences. Their opening results have been pretty mixed too. Liverpool drew […]
The Arsenal Midfield Problem -It’s not Personnel, It’s Philosophy
Slightly obsessed is how you can describe my association with the Arsenal midfield dynamic over the last few years. I’ve written many articles about partnerships and steps to take in order to achieve balance. In my opinion, this issue is bigger than simply players that are deployed or who we can sign in a transfer […]
Wenger reminds us why he should have left with Arsenal’s season’s stuttering start.
Arsene has demonstrated that he’s learned nothing from mistakes made in previous campaigns. I’m disappointed and frustrated but sadly, not surprised. However, despite being called ‘negative’ by some of our more ‘positive’ supporters, I take no enjoyment from saying “I told you so”. I would take plenty from Arsene proving me wrong though. Unfortunately, he […]
Kristian Bielik: Real Deal or Arsenal Hype (From The Horse’s Mouth)
By James Howson (Gunners Town Scout) Over the years Arsenal have had some of the best centre backs in English football, players like David O’Leary, Sol Campbell, Tony Adams. Of recent times Laurent Koscielny has been a key figure at the back but although he’s been a top performer, Arsenal have struggled to be as […]
Wenger – If you are Criticising your Own Central Defence, you are Criticising Yourself
7 days and counting… Arsene’s quotes directly after our defeat to Stoke RUFC “First we lose the ball in the middle of the park, and after that we gave them too much freedom at the back through the middle and basically gave them a goal. You need to improve the connections with the players but […]
“We’re a big club so we deserve to win the league” – Those Days are Gone Gunners, as Money Talks
Premier League (and Arsenal) fans are in for a shock this season. I honestly believe that 2017/18 is going to upset a lot of people. Any sense of entitlement will be severely challenged. “We’re a big club so we deserve to win the league” is a thing of the past. The EPL is traditionally dominated […]

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 […]
