NOTE: This was written before the So’ton game. But for me, the issues at Arsenal Football Club have been a cascade of continually BAD decisions. It’s like a butterfly-effect of poor actions and wrong points, leading to our stellar mid-table placing currently. There is the poem of the “road not taken…” and how choices shape […]
So’ton 0-2 Arsenal Premier League Review – 25th June 2020 After the collective pre-game trepidation, we won a game away. Yay!! As our game was on Sky, there was an opportunity for more banter from the footballing world. But we did what we needed to do – and forestalled any jibes and mockery. Southampton had […]
Pressure wins twice If you are thinking that the headline refers to Arsenal beating Southampton due to two individual moments of pressure, you’d be 50% correct. Arsenal won due to a couple of reasons, and leaning into their speed upfront was certainly one of them. Southampton never found an easy way to play or create […]
Rewind back to the end of the 2018/19 campaign and into the summer transfer market.

A positive solution We don’t have to wait for the transfer window. There is a solution that leans into our individual and team strengths. Our defense is the best it will be until new players arrive. Our midfield is unfit for modern football so why worry about it until it gets blown up as there […]
The pre-game show, with David and Mesut It’s 2.30pm on Saturday 20th June 2020 and game 2 for Arsenal in season 2020 2.0 is upon us. Luis and Ozil are going through their new routine and this time they have been allowed to sit next to next to each other. All be it, 1.5m and […]
The Sun will Shine when the Habits change Better players will certainly help. A balanced team is imperative. We as fans could always offer more patience. Regardless of all that though, Arsenal have had the habit of self implosion for a long time. That game was certainly swinging City’s way as it approached half time. […]
Man City 3-0 Arsenal Premier League • Etihad Stadium • June 17th, 2020 We got gunned down at Man City – and let’s be frank it’s what was coming to us. They’re a better side with better players. Kevin de Bruyne proved his world-class status with a man of the match performance. And […]
