The Ozil show continues to dazzle this week as Gunners hit the summit at halfway
It was such a refreshing performance. It’s a beautiful life folks. Manchester City have done us a favour by drawing with Leicester because that means we are top of the Premier League at the start of 2016 and that City are 3 points off the pace completely. I wonder what might have been if we […]
Wenger’s Way is Back in Fashion – SUSTAINABLE – CONSISTENCY – STABILITY
At this time of year you naturally tend to reflect on the year just gone and what lies ahead. So let me indulge myself. A serious read so you need to be sitting down! Given the recent cult of the ‘superstar’ manager and how many of us have become swayed by their influence and supposed […]
Arsenal top of the league, but who is top of the moaners?
Support Arsenal and enjoy the ride Just when you thought it was safe to believe….The Arsenal rollercoaster starts up again.We beat Chelsea, then lose to The Hammers.We beat United, then lose to West Brom.We beat City, then we lose to Southampton. The team has been playing to its maximum ability over the past few and […]
Mohamed Elneny: is the Basel midfielder a stop gap or long term investment?
Who is Mohamed Elneny? Barely known outside the Swiss Super League, the Egyptian midfielder is reportedly very likely to join the Arsenal as soon as the transfer window re-opens on January, 1st – with several media already talking about fee agreed, contract negotiations et cetera… Whether it is true or not – and I personally […]
St. Joel? No. Soft Olli? Maybe. Tactics Fail? Yes. Plastic Fans? WTF!
As the start of the 2015-16 campaign approached, I suggested that winning the league title this season was a realistic possibility, even more so if we were able to add at least one more player of quality to the squad and following our victory against Manchester City, it had appeared that both the manager and […]
Arsenal MUST rediscover the winning mentality TODAY with the players they have left!
If any of you were thinking about a nice festive period with absolutely no surprises, then I’m sorry for you guys. Just like me you have been done in by Arsenal Football Club and its promises of being top. No problem though because that Mahrez bloke goes up against Manchester City today and I dare […]
Cherries feeling Confident but Arsenal to finish on top
Boxing Day was a huge reality check for the players and the manager as it came immediately after the highs of the win over Manchester City. The 4-0 drubbing at Southampton was not what you’d expect from title favourites but fortunately for Arsenal, just about any team in the league looks capable of taking a […]
Gunners Outgunned – We have seen the over-reaction of fans but we need a reaction from players
When I saw Fonte power his header past Cech in the 66th minute, I turned the game off. It’s what I always do when the Gunners go 3 down. I haven’t watched us lose to United 8-2. I haven’t witnessed our 6-0 humiliation at the hands of Chelsea, or the 5-1 at Anfield. Even this […]
A Case of Preventable DEJA VU for Wenger who now admits he was wrong
I have just watched Arsenal disintegrate against Southampton in a way which takes me back to the worst of our defensive performances i.e. Liverpool, Man U, Man City and Chelsea. Throw in Monaco and Dynamo Zagreb just for fun. Ironically, as I sat at my PC I noticed Timothy Hargreaves article about defensive discipline. I […]
When the Gunners go Firing in! – Beware you Saints this Arsenal side mean business
No rest for the wicked as the Gunners (along with the other 19 teams, truth be told) prepare for their Boxing Day game against Southampton. And despite Southampton’s atrocious recent form (1 point in 6 games, with only 2 goals scored during that run), I feel uneasy about this match. Maybe because I can’t recall […]
