News round-up – 7th December 2018 Guendouzi or Xhaka Guendouzi was excellent in our 2-2 draw at Old Trafford. I feel he offers more to the team than Xhaka. Now, this isn’t to knock Xhaka. I find he has enhanced a lot this season, as our improved midfield balance is aiding […]
Where does Ozil fit in the new Arsenal system? Subjectivity is one of the most important things when being a writer or covering sports for any format, sadly certain papers or pundits disagree with that but I think anyone worth their salt will, or should agree. The reason I started with the last statement is, […]
Positives, Needs and Hopes Well, those were 4 ridiculous goals! If you’d see the goals only, you wouldn’t think you were watching elite players. The game itself was a true test as Utd (as ever) gave at least 100% effort even if they are a team with no offensive plan. Halfway through the second half […]
Maureen’s REAL press conference ahead of tonight’s clash with Arsenal So Jose, what are your thoughts ahead of your game with Arsenal? “Well, you know my thoughts about Arsene, He has a real problem with us and I think he is what you call, a voyeur. Wenger must be one of them, it’s a sickness” […]
Manchester United vs. Arsenal preview After the glorious win vs. the Scum, we have another rival to play. This time, it’s Manchester United, and a certain Mr. Mourinho, with whom we have an interesting history. Jose hasn’t had the best of times this season.

Arsenal were everything …. Positives, Needs and Hopes Energy gives attitude Attitude gives belief Belief gives confidence Confidence gives hope Somebody asked me last week what the major change has been this season. I said, ‘hope.’ If we are losing I have hope that we will turn it around. If we lose I still have […]
Us versus Them The North London Derby We’re heading to the first of two North London Derbies in quick succession. This one on Sunday will be in the league, with the latter of course in the League Cup. It’s always a momentous occasion when we play our “good friends” from the Borough of Haringey. Our […]
Like most of us, I’m engaged in the North London Derby spirit. I don’t like, nay detest, that lot. They’re not on our level in most – if not all – senses, and they’re not even half the footballing institution that we are. That said, these are some of my favourite NLD moments of the […]
What the “experts’ think about the NLD Ex players, pundits and so called experts all come out of the woodwork on NLD weekend. So what have they had to say: Tim Sherwood has given his view in his combined XI Unbiased as usual, all I have to add is Merson then joined in: Bitter […]
