Arsenal 2-3 Olympiacos: a different kind of same old?
In my 11 years of supporting Arsenal I’ve seen us lose a lot of games. Home and away, by a fine margin and only just, to big teams playing crap football and small sides rising to the occasion. Every defeat was, and still is, different. Simply because you can’t play two identical games even against […]
The Ox and Jack in a switch of destiny to save the English Core at Arsenal
With our beloved Gunners in pretty mixed form thus far this season I’ve refrained from writing. There being so many problems and seemingly no solutions to get the boys to click and every Tom Dick and Harry’s angle and thoughts are there to read. There is the midfield balance, the lack of a top striker […]
It’s a Coq and Bull Story – Coquelin and Oxlade return to Bully Greeks
We face Olympiacos in the 2nd game of the group stages and, needless to say, this game is a must-win: “You have to win your home games if you want to qualify from the group stage, it is simple as that. We cannot afford to drop points now against anyone at home.” While I have […]
Who is Arsenal’s Best Penalty Taker?
by Guest Writer Who is Arsenal’s best current penalty taker? The Gunners are currently flying high in the Premier League and sit fourth after seven matches, just three points behind leaders Manchester City. Arsene Wenger’s men have scored ten goals this season but are yet to receive a penalty kick, although they felt […]
Maureen’s like a 12-year-old at a school disco.
The one who wishes he was King! I know that a lot of my recent blogs have been regarding the comedic antics of everyone’s favourite clown Maureen, but he makes such bloody good copy !!! The self appointed ‘Chosen One’ seems to spend more time in his pressers waxing lyrical about Arsene and less about […]
Theo settling in, Alexis Banging them in and Arteta still not throwing the towel in – Leicester 2 – Arsenal 5
A month back, almost to the day, I’ve read an interesting article from @7amkickoff which stated, in unequivocal terms, that Arsenal WILL get back to their best, that they WILL become much, much better at finishing the chances they create. The reason was very simple: every team has a certain amount of chances created, shots, […]
After a North London Boost we all follow the Arsenal over land and sea and ‘Leicester’
Howdy. Had a busy couple of days, hence there was no fully-fledged Spurs review from me. Well, there was no review at all, to be exact. Seeing as now our next game is on Saturday already and the last was on Wednesday, I’m now facing the prospect of trying to cram both the review of […]
Spuds peeled, but how to deal with foxy Leicester?
NLD Nothing eases the pain of a derby loss than a derby win, especially against spurs. Wenger now has a decision to make. If Coquelin is out for a while who does he pick to play next to Cazorla? The obvious answer would be club captain Mikel Arteta, but Flamini made a good case for […]
Costa’s claw blinds pundits; brings more shame to the game
Saturday was a farce of a football game, if we can even call it a football game. After that Gabriel red card, it was difficult to continue watching the television screen under the belief that you were witnessing a football match played at the very highest professional level. It’s a game that left a bitter […]
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 […]
