Transfer talk – part 2 OK, so the transfer window has shut, of course. But then who is really “Arsenal quality” if any such thing can be discerned? Who can go, and who can actually come in? And is it really true that Emery doesn’t have a defined style? In part 1, I analysed […]
The Herbert Chapman derby, as it were, ended in an Arsenal win. The game perhaps wasn’t the best, but I’m sure Mr Chapman is looking down and happy to see both of his prodigy performing in the top division. His Yorkshire former club is certainly going down this season – though on this showing they […]
Intensity or Exhaustion… The clear Arsenal style POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES That was absolutely maddening. Almost embarrassing. I’ll get on to that (see first point in ‘NEEDS section), but for now I want to talk about a theme that I see. There has been much talk recently about what Emery’s style is. Almost all of […]
Whilst our good friends are in third place, I think it’s unrealistic that they will win the league. This isn’t just rivalry talking but they’re not as good as Liverpool and City. Besides, Mr. Pochettino doesn’t like winning trophies, and they may not even open their ground this season. Liverpool hasn’t won the Premier League, […]

Certainly the likes of Giles Sunu, Francis Coquelin and Joel Campbell have had loan spells there with the Brittany-based team. One might logically have assumed that the links were down to the friendship between […]
30th February, 2021 In an effort to curtail the steady flow of undesirables into a decidedly fragile English society – the post-no-deal-Brexit Immigration Police painted themselves into an unfortunate corner. Their Zero-Tolerance immigration policy meant that the Premier League could only use English players. Foreign players didn’t satisfy the Nigel Farage Only-Seventh-Generation-Brits-Are-Actual-Brits Law, which President […]
An Aussie Gooner’s Plea G’Day Unai Emery It’s long time Gooner, Steve Writing from Australia With a request, please A Gooner over 40 years I’ve seen the highs and lows Cold Mondays on North Bank In freezing ice and snow The joy at Anfield in ‘89 And seasons gone unbeaten And Adams breaking from the […]
Emery defence – first calling out… Don’t get me wrong. I’m firmly Emery In. But then the latest defeat to Manchester United showed how a critical point in our side is NOT being corrected by “el jefe”, Mr. Emery. Now, yes, Emery has a number of issues to solve. And the additions of some […]
Deloitte Arsenal – cause for concern but a way forward can be clear The Deloitte Money League, an annual report on global football clubs’ revenues, was released in January. It’s a mix of projections and actual accounts from clubs, and used to show how revenues impact on performance relative to others. As a […]
