Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle United Premier League review I was in the North Bank Upper for this game, and I expected us to win beforehand, and we did. But my sincere hope was not to see “square pass football”. Even though we won, my wish was not granted. We didn’t attack with much width. We dominated […]
Gunners need Jack and Laca (back) to reignite their limp attack: Newcastle preview
We face Newcastle at the Emirates today, and this gives us another chance at redemption. A third one after losing to United. While I can’t say I’m particularly optimistic given the way we’ve played recently, two things make me somewhat calmer we won’t shoot ourselves in the foot once again: it’s a home fixture and […]
Abject Gunners spoil the festive mood by falling short once again
Following the defeat to Manchester United, my dad and I engaged in our usual post-game analysis phone conversation. He was fuming, deriding us for not taking something from the game having made so many chances, whilst at the same time making stupid errors at the back. He was right, but for some reason I was […]
Let’s play the best header in the league and never cross the ball!!
Some time into the second half I had not so much a distinct feeling of deja vu, but rather an impression of an unending nightmare. You know how sometimes you have a very vivid and highly unpleasant dream, wake up in the middle of the night, go back to sleep, and are treated to the […]
Slow, Slow, Sideways, Slow – Arsenal need new tactics after failing to breakdown Hammers
West ham 0-0 Arsenal It really seems we’re in the Twilight Zone. Wasn’t this akin to the Southampton performance? Or the United one to some extent? More “pass, pass, pass”, and not enough “shoot, shoot, shoot”, and “score, score, score”. The overview here is very like recent games, however: Our clear-cut chances were limited. Wilshere, […]

Olivier Giroud should get the nod as Gunners aim to stop the road rot: West Ham preview
In a few short hours we take on West Ham and it’s fair to say this game doesn’t look nearly as straightforward as it did two weeks ago. Back then we have battered Huddersfield at home while West Ham was at the wrong end of a pasting at Goodison Park. This in itself tells you […]
Global Gooners – how and why Arsenal (and Wrighty) should embrace its foreign fans…
Global support, Wrighty, and change…. How global support has changed from the past…. Ian Wright (Wright Wright) is a certified Arsenal legend, and a major reason why I am a Gooner. He not only scored a bag load of goals. He did so with class, tenaciousness, and guile, and to point where he became our […]

Southampton 1 – 1 Arsenal: Woeful Gunners Steal Last-Gasp Point
Southampton 1-1 Arsenal Barclays Premier League Matchday 16 St. Mary’s Stadium, Southampton That was poor. Like last week vs. United. Like the Stoke away game earlier this season. Like numerous games last season. Or the season before that. Or several seasons before that. Yes, we did well to get a point in the end. But […]
