Gunderdogs can beat Barca if Cech keeps Messi off scoresheet
There have been quite a few articles this week on how we can beat Barcelona. I particularly liked this one from Michael Cox, where he argues the combination of early pressing and deep defending for the remainder of the game can do the trick. Then there were two, very similar in the idea they conveyed, […]
Arsenal have done it before, can they do it again? #AFC v FCB
There have been quite a few articles this week on how we can beat Barcelona. I particularly liked this one from Michael Cox, where he argues the combination of early pressing and deep defending for the remainder of the game can do the trick.

Can Messi Ever score past Cech? – No pressure on ‘Gun’derdogs
There have been quite a few articles this week on how we can beat Barcelona. I particularly liked this one from Michael Cox, where he argues the combination of early pressing and deep defending for the remainder of the game can do the trick. Then there were two, very similar in the idea they conveyed, […]
If there are any positives from Arsenal 0-0 Hull City they are all in this review :)
Well, that didn’t quite go according to plan, did it? However it also could have been worse: when Aluko took aim from what would be Hull’s only shot on target, I was prepared for the worst. It was a genuine heart-in-the-mouth moment, which would have felt like a cold shower had Aluko been a half-decent […]
Questioning the Arsenal does not have to be all about ‘Arsene’
Having collected the maximum six points from our last two fixtures, the mood has certainly improved among the clubs fan base in recent weeks. Despite this, the two goal victory at Bournemouth which got us back to winning ways two weeks ago, wasn’t enough to curtail the disagreements between Arsenal supporters on social media sites. […]
Toothless Tigers won’t hurt Arsenal as Bruce prioritises Premier League return
Arsenal’s FA Cup fixture against Hull will bring back memories of the memorable 2014 final at Wembley but for the squad and the manager, it is the start of another of those mini blocks of games that could be season defining. Playing Hull, Barcelona and Manchester United in the space of eight days in three […]
What can David do to topple Goliath? A look into what Barcelona has to offer
Despite being two of their respective nation’s biggest domestic sides, the upcoming Champions League fixtures between Arsenal and Barcelona has a tad of an inferiority complex about it. The all-conquering Catalans are heavily tipped to brush aside a team who are currently favourites to lift the Premier League crown (according to the bookies). After some […]
Is Alexis our 2016 Charlie George? – Echoes of 71 as 5th Round FA Cup Victory the catalyst for Double Glory
Supporting Arsenal is a lifetime commitment. We never switch off. There are highs and lows and sometimes summer sports intervene but come July we are scanning the internet for news of possible new arrivals and arrangements for early season fixtures. Today is the 45th anniversary of Charlie George’s two goals to beat Manchester City at […]
De De De De De De De De De De De De Danny Welbeck – The Come Back Kid Saves the Day
Let me get this out of the way first: Arsenal deserved to win the game. Those who say we were lucky to win it are partly right, but saying that without context would not be doing justice to the Gunners. The reality is such: we played Ranieri’s men off the park. We had 78% of […]
Salvation from the most unexpected of places: Arsenal stake their title claim.
I was watching the Leicester match in the company of Man Utd, Spurs and Liverpool fans and whilst the match was unfolding I made the remark that on Valentines day I could feel all the lurve around me? Like Harold at Hastings, I stood my ground and in the face of the hordes around me […]
