Wenger and Kroenke- An Accident Waiting to Happen?
Being an aging hipster (cough) I have copious amounts of old Billy Bragg on my iPhone. No apologies for that. As I drive around, if I flick the car media player, my player seems to default to a random alphabetical playlist. I am a technophobe and have never managed to change this. So soon after […]
Wengernalysis: He Does Do Tactics – Just Not Very Well
Wenger’s supposed tactical ineptitude is a bugbear of many. I can agree, somewhat. Though in my mind, it’s more about stubbornness than ineptitude. Wenger DOES do tactics. He can change things up. And he can take time to see what needs to change. The issue though is more about ideology, than not knowing, understanding or […]
We need to talk about referees – Inconsistency, Bias or are Arsenal just not getting the rub of the green?
What do we make of the standard of officiating in the Premier League? I can’t claim to have done a statistical tracking study over the years, but this season seems to have some of the worst when it comes to the general standard of refereeing in the league. I’m of course biased to the decisions […]
EXCLUSIVE – The BEST Rant at the Anti-Arsenal Media and Philistine Pundits EVER
Occasional GT Columnist @LordHillwood let out a build up of anger at the media and pundits (cundits) with their anti-Arsenal agenda today. He unleashed umpteen 140 character tweets one after the other and having washed his mouth out with soap what follows may not see us in court! All that is wrong in English […]
After Ramsey and Arteta and Cazorla and Coquelin will Oxlade-Chamberlain and Xhaka be Wenger’s next ‘Accidental Pairing’?
Dear angry, depressed, resigned Gooners, I’m back with my weekly column. Inspired by Dave the Master and his brilliant piece on why Arsène Wenger should rotate his left-backs, I also try to find some positives in these gloomy days. The defeat suffered against Chelsea has reminded us that we still have a lot to go […]
A Tactical Analysis of how Wenger reverting to his tired Old system left us Out Muscled and Out Numbered
Good day everybody, I hope Saturday’s nightmare is slowly receding out of view and mind. I’ve watched the replays over & over again to understand how such a promising first ten minutes ended up being so humiliating, and the following two issues troubled me most: Our midfield did not defend its back four I can’t […]
Leonardo Jardim – The perfect man to replace Arsene Wenger at Arsenal?
This article is in no way a reference point to my Wenger orientation. It’s just a glance at a future option for the Arsenal. Once a professional reaches the age to get a free bus pass its negligence not to look at replacements and it seems the gunners are already looking out for their next […]
The Final Act – It is a Boring Play and we all know how it ends, so time for Wenger’s Final Curtain Call
Saturday the 4th February 2017 was the day for the first time in my life, since I can remember when I woke up on the day of an Arsenal match and I had no fervour or sense of excitement for a match. Now keep in mind I’m forever the dreamer when it comes to football […]
The Arsenal Fan Reaction Pendulum – It Can Go Either Way for the Gunners
It’s been an awful end to the week for any Gooner. Some are angry, some are sad, very few must still be positive; but, as much as our feelings towards the scheme of things do matter, I can’t imagine how the players and the manager feel and that’s what really matters at this time. Cech […]
Wenger knows he can take Arsenal no further but is he ready to admit this and do the Honourable thing?
It is easy to get emotional over Saturday’s game and I am no exception so I understand the anger and frustration of the fans. It is an annual experience at this time of year. We are now playing for a top four finish. I could have sat down and written this on Saturday night, but […]
