What is the definition of ‘cruelty?’ I am too bummed to find out but it feels like it should be that game. Rather than whine about an offside goal I want to acknowledge that Arsenal had some players that played like real heroes today and were possibly a penalty kick away from being legends. I […]
1) Thanks for joining us Jeorge, we have seen many talents such as Bukayo Saka, Zech Medley and Emile Smith Rowe been given first team appearances this season, who do you think is next to card Unai Emery’s eye? I think that Xavier Amaechi could be next. He’s done very well for the U23s and […]
I recently wrote a speculative piece on Lorient’s exciting talent, Alexis Claude Maurice. I pondered whether the existing close connection between Arsenal and Les Merlus, as well as Guendouzi’s friendships with his ex-team mates might encourage another surprising swoop into Ligue 2. From a young player’s perspective, watch their ex comrade be given so much […]
Positives, Needs & Hopes from Arsenal 5 Bournemouth 1 The Recipe for Identity POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES As a coach I have always held the belief that your identity should be a by product of your ability to find the best system for your best players enabling them to play […]
Cherries pitted at the Emirates This was sexy football again. We had snippets vs. Southampton but we had more of this vs. Bournemouth. The line-up featured our German maestro Mesut Ozil, and a recall for Guendouzi. Auba played up top by himself, but Jenkinson started a as a right-wing back. Monreal started as a centre-back […]
Yes, we’ve had some comical instances which other clubs haven’t had in recent years. City didn’t lose 10-2 on aggregate to Bayern. Spurs haven’t had “Poch In/Poch Out” fights in their stands. Liverpool did win more than just one away win from Jan to May 2018. And Chelsea hasn’t been stereotyped by AFTV’s […]
Given the nationality of our head coach, Mr.Emery, I wanted to pick out some of the most noted Spanish players in our club’s history. Denis Suarez, whilst only a loan signing, also adds to the Spanish vibe we have currently. So who else from Spain has either helped us or even hindered us, over the […]
Did I see Intent, Rhythm and Fun? POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES As the season was about to start I remember wondering what I was going to see. I remember thinking that we would quickly try to impress our new coach with a fluid, typical Arsenal rhythm combined with the obvious initial need of a more […]
Arsenal 2-0 Southampton – Premier League Review Saints decanonised and beaten at the Emirates….. This was a return to a fluent Arsenal, in large part. After the comfortable win and clean sheet in the Europa League, Southampton offered some fight, but not enough to seriously trouble us. The starting line-up featured […]
Arsenal 3-0 BATE Borisov – Europa League Round of 16 Second Leg Review (Agg. 3-1) After last week’s debacle, we comfortably progressed to the next round after a good win vs. BATE at home. I’m left thinking “how the hell did we lose to them last week?!” I attended in person, with some […]
