Chelsea 3-1 Arsenal: Groundhog Gunners pay the ultimate price for mental frailty
In my almost 13 years of supporting Arsenal I’ve witnessed a lot of defeats. Yesterday’s 3-1 surrender to Chelsea was by no means the worst. In fact, I can think of a handful of draws much more painful than some defeats Arsenal suffered down the line. Before you shout “any draw is better than any […]
Arsenal’s last throw of the Dice and a Drink in the last chance Stamford Bridge Saloon, without many of our regulars –
Well, it looks like the last throw of the dice, doesn’t it? Drinking in the last chance saloon for Arsenal. To say I’m hugely disappointed in where this season seems to be heading would be stating the bleeding obvious. I’m also angry. At myself, first of all. Yet another season I’ve allowed myself to buy […]
Arsenal’s very Own Nutty Boy – A True Gunner Legend
We are taking a trip in the time machine back to the late 1980’s for this week’s Highbury Hero. Arsenal have had some brilliant left backs over the years and this man is no exception. Such a consistent player and a member of the famous back four. It is Nigel “Nutty” Winterburn. Nigel was highly […]
It is not Tactics, Formations or Players to Blame, it is Poor Mentality and Weak Mindset –
The Watford defeat hurts big time. It doesn’t go away. Three days on and the frustration at missing the opportunity remains and the questions remain unanswered. Why were we not “mentally prepared” as Wenger admitted? How could Watford, with such a poor run coming into the game, be sharper, quicker and more committed? Was the […]
Wenger has built the best squad in the Premier League but seems to have NO CLUE how to use it
If anyone needed further evidence that this season should be the final one of Arsene’s managerial reign, our defeat against Watford should have provided them with it. After an impressive five goal victory, away at Southampton, I arrived at the Emirates in an optimistic mood and confident that the team would win the game. However, […]
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, […]
