The Arsenal Lean Years: Stadium Debt or Wenger Inept?
This is the second in a series of Wenger-related posts by me. I am Wenger Out, but still revere him for his achievements. My intention here in this series is to highlight and correct some misconceptions or misinterpretations of his tenure, since he should be seen by ALL of us (Wenger in or out) as […]
Wenger Clearly has no plan but Mustafi, Holding and Koscielny in a Back Three against Chelsea might be one
I agree with Andrea Rosati from his piece on Wednesday that we are now in a position where Wenger has to make 100% correct tactical decisions beginning with Chelsea. Conte has Chelsea playing to a system, which the team understands, and he has fitted all his square pegs into square holes. The key to his […]
Wenger is spoiled with his Squad’s Versatility but is this an Asset or a Liabilty?
What a paradox! This winter’s definitely was the transfers window I enjoyed the most – Yet Arsenal basically had zero activity. The window shut down last night and there was no anxiety, no drama, no speculations, no anger and no frustration, which is a very pleasant change, compared to recent seasons. Have we finally moved […]
Vent and purge: dissecting another poor Arsenal performance
I have to work. And by ‘work’, I mean write beautiful, creative, inspiring music. On a deadline. Try doing that when there is a Mariana Trench of a frown that won’t wipe itself off your forehead. Try doing that when you still find yourself shaking your head when you remember that last night Arsenal played […]
Choose The Arsenal, Choose Life – A ‘T2’ Tribute to the Mighty Gunners
Choose The Arsenal, Choose Life “Choose life, Choose Class, History, The Arsenal and know that the true fans there really do care. Choose putting your faith in Arsene and The Arsenal, knowing you wouldn’t really have it any other way. Choose watching at the Emirates every week. Choose the trials. Choose the tribulations, […]
Ozil, Alexis, Ramsey, Iwobi and Coquelin to return v Watford but in what formation??
Tonight’s visit of Watford is intriguing for many reasons but none of them really involve the Hornets. This is a team that could not even muster a performance to send of the late Graham Taylor at home so are not likely to threaten and in form Gunners at the Emirates. No this evening is all […]
The Wenger Legend examined: how much credit should Arsene get for his early success at Arsenal?
Wenger is a legend, at our club and globally. I must say I have reservations on his methods, and our club needs a change. Still, I revere the man. Arsenal has always set the agenda, and Wenger has played a hand in that. So it bothers me to hear people say: “Seaman, the back four, […]
Boys to Men: is Arsenal’s Academy Wenger’s Greatest Parting Gift?
A banter era line up winning us a game 5-0, yes that is the reality of supporting the Arsenal in 2017 and how happy we all are that this is the case. Three double-barrelled young guns in the midfield slots combined with two returning heroes on the wings and an oft forgotten/neglected Spaniard in the […]
Why it may not work out for Aaron Ramsey at Arsenal – Unless he changes his Mind-set
What follows below is a considered response (a comment on the site) from American Gooner @scrivs to Clive Palmer’s considered article on his journey with Aaron Ramsey, published here on Friday. Clive and Scrivs interact regularly on Twitter and the response was so good that we asked if we could use his comment as an […]
It is only One match but is this ‘The Transition and Speed’ that can break the cycle of Arsenal Implosion?
I have been quiet in recent weeks because frankly, it is hard to find anything new to say about Arsenal. We are roughly in the same position at this stage of the season that we always are. In the top four, challenging weakly to win the Premiership whilst having to keep an eye out for […]
