Okay, I did give it large pre-match in an article, and I take it back, largely. Yes, they were the better team. But power shift? Ha-ha…no. Last season, they finished above us, but then we won something. I strongly believe the same will occur this season. And they can cite who had the better season […]
Wenger’s Spineless Chickens bossed by Cockerells – #Spurs1AFC0
If I were a neutral, or a fan of some mid-table PL club, who only casually follows Arsenal by means of checking the results, I would be astonished this morning. How can top-level club, seemingly fighting for the top 4, smash Palace 4-1 and then go down to Swansea inside 10 days? How can that […]
It’s now or never for the Gunners in a chase for top 4: #NLD preview
It’s the early kick-off for the North London derby today, as Arsenal play what will be their last league game for almost three weeks. Certainly a space oddity if you ask me, but it’s down to cup games in-between. It won’t be three weeks of rest for the Gunners of course, because Wenger’s men still […]
The Four Defining Moments of Arsenal’s January Transfer Window
It’s safe to say that January was a hectic month for the Gunners. On the pitch, results were rather inconsistent as the North London club struggled to defeat teams like Nottingham Forest and Swansea, but they were able to defeat rivals, Chelsea, to reach the final of the Carabao Cup. Regarding the winter transfer window, […]
Five Quick Keys to Doing The Double over the Scum at Wembley in the North London Derby
Upcoming matches against Tottenham conjure up a unique reaction, a simultaneous feeling of overwhelming nausea and excitement. The only thing I feel it is comparable to is first talking to a girl you “like” during your adolescent years–that perfect blend of anxiety shaped by the possibility of enduring both agony and ecstasy. It needs to […]
I hate Spurs. Hate them, hate them, hate them!!
I hate Spurs. Hate them, hate them, hate them!! Since we’re playing our good friends from the Borough of Haringey very soon, I wish to convey my views on our “friends”, who now of course are renting the national stadium to play “home” games. Yes, every Gooner detests that lot. But these are my […]
Mr ‘So called’ Journo – A Step over is used too deceive an opponent with skill and a dive is used to deceive the officials
Quick rant from GT Crew member Brad for your journey to work… If you ever needed evidence that there is a Pro-Spurs stance in our media, then you just need to check out today’s papers/social media ad Twitter. Respected (until now perhaps) Independent journalist, Jonathan Liew (and I thought he was definitely one of the […]
Wenger will manipulate Ramsey and Wilshere into his team for the NLD – And so he should!
Well this week feels better than the last after a wonderful display against Everton that we hope gave is a taster of what is to come, with both our new signings in the starting eleven. Add to that the dynamic display from a fit again Aaron Ramsey the cup positively floweth over with renewed optimism […]
Media Darlings: diving, cheating, thuggish Spurs can do no wrong
Another incredible weekend of Barclays action just gone, which as usual was short on actual quality but long indeed on drama. I’d like to talk about Spurs if I may. As an Arsenal fan it’s difficult to have an opinion on them without being called biased or one eyed, and that’s often very true, tribalism […]
Learning from the Invincibles: why Transitional Identity is Vital if Arsenal are to Progress
Think back to the Invincibles Era and try to remember the brilliant moments that have come to encapsulate it. I’m guessing most had some modicum of direct, forward-thinking play that progressed us rapidly into the next phase of attack: how I define Transitional Play. It seems the best teams of late have had a clear […]
