Stanley get your Knife out – Cut the purse strings because Alexis is no 9
I’m sorry Arsene but Alexis does not address the elephant in the room and will not keep Stan that extra £50m extra in the bank. Sanchez is not a number 9. Not that he’s not good enough, far from it. He wants to be involved, he wants to create. Because he is not getting […]
Scrooge McWenger – From Le Professeur to Le Fraud
I would love to be writing to say that it is a lovely morning and the sun is shining through the window. I would dearly love to say that Arsenal banked another three points by playing Leicester off the park and that we now sit level with the big boys Man Utd., Man City, Chelsea […]
Conte and Wenger: speaking from the same script. Is the transfer system broken?
A tale of two clubs. Chelsea and Arsenal. What is the difference between them and us? 8 top division league titles. That’s right. We have won it a respectable 13 times and Chelsea have won it only 5 times. Albeit we have won it less number of times in the Premier League era than them but […]
Not the worst point on the road but Alexis incapable of bearing the load! – LCFC v AFC Match Review
As the game wore on I started to get desperate. The reason for my desperation stemmed from the fact I couldn’t see how Arsenal was going to win the game, but it was obvious how Leicester could. It is a familiar situation for Arsenal fans, albeit not the most frequent one. Arsenal didn’t pose much […]
Out Foxed by Klopp perhaps so learn from mistakes Wenger to Out Fox the Foxes again!
It may be a new season but already, Arsene is making the same mistakes that he’s made in previous campaigns. His lack of activity in the transfer market and poor team selection is once again, deservedly the focus of criticism from both pundits and supporters. On reflection, our overall performance in the opening day defeat […]
Five Straws to clutch at now or is it another ‘Gloriously Ambitions Failure’ before Judgement Day
How I’m coping with the rest of this window. ____________________ Life is full of many constants, more so than the conventional “Deaths and Taxes” as popular culture would have you believe. There is the constant of happiness and suffering. Everyone will have a little bit of each within the context of their own lives. When […]
A Wave of change in the Premier League which all but Arsenal are riding the crest of?
“The past four days have been extremely trying for me, and all Arsenal fans I would assume, following our opening day defeat at home to Liverpool. Sunday’s 4-3 reverse meant that we have only won one of our last six games on the opening weekend of the Premier League, which was that last-gasp 2-1 home […]
A Conspiracy Theory on why Wenger will not spend – Spend what you earn or reap what you sow?
Spend what you earn or reap what you sow? Based on the club ethos of balancing the books and running the club the ‘right way’, it is fair to ask as fans ‘Why are we not spending what we earn?’ I don’t proclaim to be a financial wizard, so my assessment will be pretty basic, […]
Arsenal Fans – Is the Club Respecting your Loyalty or Simply Exploiting it?
I have read the excellent articles by Petits Ponytail, Alex Baguzin and Timothy Hargreaves and this contribution is designed to augment them rather than to try to improve upon them. The one by Timothy was predictive and was written pre the Liverpool match and that is the cue for my lead in. Just before the game […]
Title or bust: the last chance saloon for Arsene Wenger
The 2016/17 Premier League season is finally here and nobody is feeling the pressure more than Arsene Wenger. Ultimately, this campaign could define the Frenchman’s legacy at the club; will he go down as a hero or somebody who outstayed his welcome? Only time will tell but another Premier League title would certainly help his […]
