Waving goodbye to the solution In 41 years of supporting Arsenal I’ve been gutted just a handful of times when certain players left the club. Limpar, Santi, Overmars, Petit, Song, Aliadiere, Bielik, Amaechi and Yunus Musah spring to mind. Strange list, perhaps. Henry, Fabregas, Vieira, Sanchez etc… I understood. Their reasoning made sense to me […]
There are times as a writer, be it professional or hobbyist, where you begin to question the futility of penning thoughts that you consider to be becoming repetitive. That’s the stage I had reached on Monday morning, following yet another league defeat the night before. In truth, I was sulking but as with anything that […]
There is little doubt that Arsenal have a creativity issue and a confidence crisis at present, with Sunday’s defeat at home to Wolves condemning The Gunners to their worst start to a Premier League campaign for decades. Arteta’s team sit 14th and any fans making predictions here at casinosuden.com might be forgiven for not predicting Arsenal […]
To date, I have refrained from commenting on a certain young French prospect for fear of admitting to my own personal biases, but I believe discussing the curious case of William Saliba brings out further debate of fan opinion on experience vs. youth and the appropriate method for their integration into first team action! Your […]
We are currently in the midst of the eye of storm in which the results have not been great in the Premier League. Of course as you’d expect the response hasn’t been favourable towards Mikel Arteta and his team. In hindsight there is no such thing as an acceptable defeat and therefore things will always […]
The last few league matches, certainly the home ones, will have left most Arsenal fans scratching their collective heads. These are predominantly the same players, and the same coach who finished the last campaign with a flourish beating many of the top sides right? This cannot just be about changing from three to four at […]
With the Gunners managing only 9 goals in 9 Premier League games along with no open play goals in their last 5, it’s certainly not been the start Mikel Arteta would have envisaged. Arsenal went into the game against Leeds looking to take three points back to London and stay within close proximity to the […]
It was a familiar sight, back in the Wenger era: Arséne glued to the manager’s throne, watching the game along with the rest of us, knitted brow, shaking his head, letting his team muddle their way to a solution to their on-pitch problems. I’d scream at him through my TV set – implore him to […]
The 1958 World Cup was organized in Sweden. Despite not being a huge football nation today, except for the ever-amazing Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Swedish national team was one of the best in the world in the fifties. This was proven by an amazing second-place finish in the 1958 World Cup. The team that beat them […]
When the least is the most POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES It would be beautiful if one time in my life Arsenal would have a period where they had a bottomless pit of cash. That they would have a couple of transfer windows where they bought everyone they needed. Just once. It’s not going to happen, […]
