A Role for Joel and will we finally see our young Pole – Campbell/Bielik set for NLD?
So, it’s a North London derby in the first round of the Capitol One Cup to keep us entertained. For the last couple of years we have persistently been getting rather tough opponents in the opening rounds of both cups: Southampton last year and Chelsea before that in CoC, Hull and Spurs in FA Cup. All […]
Proof that Mike Dean is an Anti-Arsenal Spud and further proof that Mourinho is a Cnut
Penny for your thoughts? Whatever anyone says about Mike Dean, both reds were reds. Angel Gabriel shouldn’t have let Costa get under his skin and he should have been cleverer about his retribution (talk to Keown) and not undertaken a minor Beckham in front of the ref 2 seconds after getting a yellow. As for Santi’s, […]
Atrocious Dean ‘Costa’ Arsenal the result: Chelsea 2-0 Arsenal
Initially I had no intention of writing the review. Not because I was fuming at the result (I was, though), but because the game was lost courtesy of a highly incompetent Dean. Why write about something so trivial and done to death already? I mean, how many times can we say Mike Dean was horrible? […]
Is Mike Dean to blame for a Decade without a Title or is Arsene?
It must be said the game on Saturday was incredibly frustrating and it’s certainly fair for us to feel hard done by but I really didn’t expect anything from the game regardless, we wouldn’t have taken anything in the end I’m certain, there’s no way of proving this but Wenger’s poor record against Jose is […]
Stoke, Zagreb, Giroud, Arteta and Chelsea up next – The Arsenal week in perspective
Stoke I never felt that Stoke were a threat last weekend, partly because they have a terrible record against us at the Emirates, but mostly because they were without two of their best players in Affelay & Adam, whilst Bojan still doesn’t seem to have recovered from his injury last year and didn’t start the […]
The Most Premier League shots conceded v The Most Premier League shots taken – CFC v AFC
Our first big game of the season has finally arrived and it’s Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. This will probably sound smug, especially in the light of our midweek demoralising defeat, but I don’t think we’ve been better suited to beat Chelsea in the league for a long time. The reason is simple: their atrocious form. […]
Ramsey, Chambers and Coquelin kick start the Rugby World Cup! – Prepare to laugh :)
Calum Chambers, Francis Coquelin and Aaron Ramsey take part in a rugby challenge to mark the start of the Rugby World Cup in a new Arsenal Media video posted on the Arsenal YouTube channel today. Thanks to Arsenal Media for lightening the mood ahead of tomorrow’s pivotal North v West London Derby. Here ‘s […]
Zagreb 2-1 Arsenal: mental collapse proves costly
After a loss I almost always swear and say I won’t write a review. The truth is, I will. I’ll even go as far as to say you are more likely to see a review of a defeat from me than a review of a resounding win. I’ll explain why. A little over two years […]
Zagreb game gives Arsene an opportunity to try out new tactics. Will he be inclined to do it, though?
Ready for a rumble, Gunners? Yesterday’s game proved that the Champions League could be even more surprising than the Premier League – with Manchester City losing at home to Juventus and Manchester United defeated by PSV. Tonight’s game against Dinamo Zagreb will tell a lot about our guys and their mental strength, because we have […]
Dinamo Zagreb preview: all about building up momentum
Well, this is awkward. A few times a season such a thing happens: we play a team I know nothing, or next to nothing, about. And yet I have to write a preview. In such cases I try to concentrate more on what we do and how we approach the game and this is exactly […]
