Coq jumping: our super-DM gets his own meme
I know this isn’t 4Chan. Or 9Gag. Or ebaumsworld. But posting these pics on those sites would go down like a lead balloon. So I’m posting them here, in the hope that they inspire you to put Coq in his rightful (elevated/superior) place. I’ve included the transparent Coq cutout at the bottom of this post so […]
Alexis, Ozil and Walcott Unplayable as The Gunners turn up for a big game in a big way
Barely have I finished watching the last replay of Sanchez’s delicious near-post heel flick, that the picture disappeared from my screen. Despite me watching a regular broadcast (yes, I made it in time) and not a stream from some website. I was calm for two reasons: I know such a thing sometimes happens and I […]
Excuse me, Mr. Wenger – where’s the buck stop?
This past week saw another disappointing night for Arsenal. Once again, we lost to a team that we reasonably expected to beat – Olympiakos had never won on English soil, and we have beaten them a few times before. Despite scoring twice, we still managed to lose the match after conceding within 60 seconds of […]
Deja Voodoo: Arsene’s Magic touch fails us (again)
After an impressive pre-season complimented by the addition of Petr Cech, I had started to consider against my better judgement that this season could perhaps be the one where Arsene would at last prove to his critics that he had finally learned from his past mistakes, however, despite my early season optimism I have once […]
Ramsey back central and Ox on the right to unlock a slow United Defence
Morning, ladies and gentlemen. It’s United we have to deal with today and once again I find myself searching for imperative adjectives which will demonstrate how we need a win. However, this time we need a win mostly for psychological reasons. Sure, City thrashed Newcastle yesterday (with a little help from Sergio Aguero), but dropping […]
The Red and White Roller Coaster ride of the Arsenal Fan, the Social Media Circus and some Perspective
Well, it’s been quite an eventful few weeks since I last wrote. Three wins, against Stoke, Spurs and Leicester, and three defeats, against Dinamo Zagreb, Mike Dean and most recently Olympiacos. If that doesn’t sum up the roller coaster ride that is being an Arsenal supporter then nothing will. Not much point going over old […]
Disrespectful team selection cost us.
Leicester Scoring five is a good way to end a bad run in front of goal. Prior to the game lot was made of how bad our shots to goals ratio was and it was a worry, however it was a temporary worry. Eventually everything was going to click into place and a shot would […]
The Oxlade-Chamberlain Conundrum – Time to step up or step back!
“You become a complete player at 23. From 23 to 30 is certainly where you are at your best. He has the future in front and it’s a bright one.”-Arsene Wenger on Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. After his match-winning performance in the Community Shield win over Chelsea in August, many tipped young Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to push on […]
‘THEO’logy the new Arsenal Religion to have faith in? Directness, Movement and Positional Interchange
An Article about Theo and so much more…….Rotation, Arteta/Flamini and Meltdown! So, I haven’t written for quite a while, almost a month actually! Since my last post, Arsenal beat Stoke comfortably, lost to Zagreb, lost to Chelsea, beat Spurs to qualify for the next round in the League Cup, thrashed the ‘till then undefeated Leicester, […]
Arsenal trio visit amputee football session
Petr Cech, Theo Walcott and Aaron Ramsey paid a recent visit to an amputee football session at the Arsenal Hub – Home of Arsenal in the Community. The Gunners trio watched the Arsenal London Amps train, helped with some drills and talked with the group. One participant explained how he had lost his leg in […]
