Gunners can’t afford to come unstuck versus Toffees as injuries mount
Another league game looms large and another tough opponent awaits us. I gotta say Arsenal’s fixture list hardly does us any favours: between two international breaks we face(d) Watford, Bayern Munich (twice), Everton, Swansea, Tottenham and Sheffield Wednesday. All of this inside three weeks, meaning we are forced to play every three days, but the […]
Mikel Arteta – Future Arsenal Gaffer
I saw a picture on Twitter the other day. Not one of them Ass pictures from @BeautifulBooty I constantly see RT’d onto my TL but another one. It was a picture of Arteta and Guardiola and they looked like they were having an in-depth conversation. Now I doubt very much it was to discuss hairstyles […]
Arsene’s Power of FOUR – The Affinity of FOUR, the Spine of FOUR and ready in FOUR years
In the aftermath of a dream shattering series of four goals scored, FOUR conceded in a combined square up against Liverpool (1-1) and Tottenham (3-3) within FOUR days in April 2011, Arsenal were once again greeted with a campaign that flirted with title success, following FOUR months of sublime attacking football, literally between December 2010 […]
Learning from Le Prof – Happy Birthday Arsene
It’s Wenger’s birthday, he also completed another milestone recently in terms of years completed at Arsenal Football Club. This post is a spur of the moment type after seeing my Twitter feed flooded with happy birthday messages for the Frenchman accompanied with plenty of undying love tweets for the man. No, this will not be […]
Rambo has fallen off the train, Jack is not even at the station so Ox please STEP UP to the footplate
WHAT A NIGHT OF FOOTBALL! The amazing and surprising (let me say that…) win against Bayern Munich has left a wonderful feeling, even hours and days after the final whistle. We have shown solidarity, maturity, composure and desire to see off one of the best teams in Europe and surely one of the favourites to […]
Arsenal WILL be flying the flag for Great Britain at the Euros Mr Pardew
“I saw a headline saying Arsenal are flying the flag for Britain, I kind of wondered where that British involvement actually was when I looked at their team. It’s important that top clubs don’t lose sight of the fact that it’s the English Premier League and English players should be involved.” This infamous quote from […]
An Amusing, doing things the hard way look at what Arsenal must do to get our of the Group
What could be more Arsenal than losing at the Emirates to a team that had never won in England before (step forward Olympiacos), before beating arguably the best team in the world at the moment. Yes, I’m looking at you Bayern. Not only did Arsenal beat Bayern, but they stopped them scoring for the first […]
The Evening the Arsenal Grew Up in Europe – Defensive masterclass and counter attack!
“If I have learned anything during these past few weeks, it’s that we can adapt to opponents. We can hit them from the off like a hurricane (the normal one, not that overgrown Draco Malfoy version), we can play sterile possession to tire them out, or we can just set up two banks of four […]
Reports today that Thomas Muller is still trying to get out of Monreal’s pocket
An unsung hero delivers once again – Nacho I salute you A victory to remember, a night like few others for Arsenal, the night we stopped what seemed to be an unstoppable Bayern Munich machine and reminded the world that we can compete with the elite in Europe. Oh and it’s also worth mentioning that […]
Its all or nothing – Give Bayern an Arsenal Blitzkrieg
Last year, when changes to the seeding system were announced, Arsenal fans were both outraged and excited. Outraged because the new system meant only champions would be seeded in the first pot. Our chances at becoming champions last year at that stage looked, let’s put it mildly, slim. However, the fans were also excited to […]
