Alexis, the Beneficiary of an Ozil and Xhaka Passing Masterclass – #AFC2SFC0
Another win, another home clean sheet. I think I can get used to that. Pity the season is almost over, we’ve just about found our groove. West Brom didn’t do us any favours at the Etihad, so Man City are basically out of reach. There are five goals between the teams, so we’ll need to […]
‘The Top 5 Vital Goals Arsenal Conceded that Could have been Avoided with 3-4-2-1’
Maybe it’s the warmer weather, increased sun exposure, the fact they will no longer have to train with the likes of Sanogo much longer, or whatever it may be, Arsenal always seems to to end a season strong. Arsene Wenger receives a lot of criticism for his lack of adaptability and in-game management, but let’s […]
1972-2017 An Unconditional Love Affair with ‘The Arsenal’
A guest post from an Irish Gooner, who has supported The Arsenal through thick and thin since 1972. We all have different stories. Sometimes it is important to hear what unites us, rather than what divides us. Enjoy. I just saw you are inviting Arsenal fans to submit a blog to your site. I am […]
Lucky Charm Giroud to start and bring up his Century against the Unlucky Black Cats
So, West Ham didn’t do us any favours on Sunday and were comprehensively thrashed by Liverpool. Lazy bastards. Probably still hold a grudge for the two beatings we dished out to them. In all honesty though, this situation is ours fault, and ours alone. Just think about it: of the 36 games we’ve dropped points […]
Europa League – An Opportunity for Chambers and Holding to forge Partnership and Fringe Payers to Shine
The high of Arsenal’s brilliant performance at Stoke City on Saturday soon made way, at least in some quarters, on Sunday, when Liverpool eased to victory over a poor West Ham United side. Three points for the Reds effectively ended the Gunners hopes of playing Champions League football yet again next season, with only an extremely […]
Can we trust Arsenal do what is required to regain Champions League in the first season without it?
Europa League it is, then. I know we are still in the race for a place in the top four but it’s extremely unlikely that either Liverpool or Manchester City will drop points in the final games, so the sooner we accept this demotion the better we will deal with it. I am not exactly […]
A Gooner’s Top 5 Memories of White Hart Lane
I cannot let this day pass without writing about Shite Hart Lane, before the glorious sight of the bulldozers moving in to demolish it after Spurs final game there this afternoon. Fair to say it has provided me with so many fantastic moments over the years from my very first away game in 1968, when […]
Stoke Destroyed by Marauding Monreal, Alexis’s Willpower, Giroud’s Near Post Instincts and Rambo at 10!!
I think the only appropriate place to start this report is to apologise for something I said after we lost to Tottenham: “And barring four wins in five remaining games, our total this season won’t be better than in 2016. Want a bet we won’t amass 12+ points before the end of May?” I hold […]
Anti Arsenal Media Agenda Beyond Ridiculous – ‘I am a lover not a fighter, but if one more pundit slags off my team…’
I am a lover not a fighter, but if one more pundit slags off Arsenal… Ok so hey,I think it’s time I actually introduced myself, I’m James, a Leeds lad brought up around the blood and thunder football of Leeds United, I was taught many things growing up in Yorkshire, mostly to despise Manchester […]
Monreal back to the left with Koscielny returning and Rob Holding his place for Stoke
To the Mordor we go today, and it’s fair to say I’d prefer most other places to Stoke at a crucial time like this. But beggars can’t be choosers. A win will put us within a point of Liverpool, who visit the Hammers on Sunday, heaping pressure in Klopp’s men to perform. I do not […]
