Systems vs Swagger Positives, Needs and Hopes One of the most frustrating parts of coaching is when you spend endless hours working on what seems like such a good idea only for it to hurt the team. I can’t prove this but the first half against Newcastle looked like a plan shut down. In my […]
Valentines Day Messages I received only 6 Valentines Day cards this year, but the messages were all pretty unique; Roses are red Man City are blue Kicked out of the UCL Until 2022 Roses are red Tottenham are sh!te The last time they won the league TV was black and white Roses are red […]
Heads Up…..on Newcastle After watching Newcastle’s recent games and getting the opinion of NUFC bloggers, @john_nufc42, @tfalex1892, @PositivelyToon and @ScottyT9804, here is a Heads Up on Arsenal’s next opponents. 1) Insight…. As good as Dubravka is as a shot stopper, he can be weak in physical confrontations and can push rebounds in front of his goal. Our pace […]
Mesut Ozil is The Perfect Player and the Ultimate Conundrum It isn’t difficult to understand why Mesut Ozil has so many fans. The Gunners midfielder has it all: enviable vision, balance, power, an impressive and unexpected burst of pace, and superb technique. If you were designing the best football player you could imagine for today’s […]
This season has seen a whirlwind of numerous Gunners failing to live up to potential or not showing enough of it (but let’s not forget the unbelievable ones as well; Leno to name one). This can be down to a number of reasons from personal, coaching or even motivational. But there is a little edge […]
Arsene Wenger, our most successful manager ever, left in 2018. Unai Emery couldn’t resolve the bad defending and weak mentality of the latter Wenger period, and he left in Nov. 2018. Ivan Gazidis, the former club CEO, is now Chief Executive at AC Milan. Arteta is now in, and thus far it’s OK. And the […]
The January transfer window ended roughly a week more ago. But how are our players actually doing? Which have been the bright stars and who have been the duds? In summer 2019, Arsenal signed David Luiz from Chelsea, Nicolas Pepe from Lille, Kieran Tierney from Celtic and Gabrielle Martinelli from Ituano Futebol Clube and Dani […]
I have seen a few comments suggesting an attempt to re-sign Aaron Ramsey, given his lack success or opportunity at Juventus. I have also seen us being linked to a move for Doucoure from Watford this summer. I am not sure whether either are likely given one is barely fit for more than half a […]
Let’s go back in time, it’s the FA Cup Final 2014 in the first ten minutes Hull City have just scored twice from back to back corners. Wherever you were watching (I happened to be at the Emirates screening) it would have been shock and possibly silent. If you were at Wembley; maybe some half-hearted […]
Having lived down in Southampton for a few years it’s always nice to see their players move on and do well, unless you end up on the white side of North London then you’ll be forgotten about for a long time. (Wanyama). But there’s not shortages of former saints becoming gunners and not kicking on […]
