Saturday’s victory over Spurs has helped re-instill optimism in many Arsenal fans. The meaningful commitment to width, the dominance by our wingbacks on the flanks, and coordinated team pressing were a few of the many areas we were proficient in. For me however, it was the direct nature of our play and the variety in […]
Koln 1-0 Arsenal: Wenger sentenced to continued Europa Purgatory
We knew that few if any of the team which beat Spurs would be playing and that is what we got. I used to banter my Spurs supporter friend that Spurs were playing in “The Losers Cup” when they regularly played in it, whilst we were in the “Proper Cup” for top teams. We couldn`t […]
The B Team serve up a Bad B Movie Performance in Cologne
FC Koln 1-0 Arsenal Well that was interesting. The play overall wasn’t that bad, but we looked poor in the final third. The team sheet was also…interesting. With Chambers being a wing-back. Seriously? Wenger has to be commended for looking to empower his players this way. But then to be fair, he didn’t have that […]
The storm in a tea cup – a professional’s take
The storm in a tea cup…. Digital marketer’s views on our non-faux pas on Twitter My profession is rooted in the digital marketing sector. So this “storm in a tea cup”, whilst near literally espousing the idiom, was a whole heap of silliness. The abuse that Mr. Adam Crofton received was reprehensible. No form of […]
Power shift? Nonsense. Spurs are Great Pretenders. At best.
Power shift? Only in Poch’s engine transmission, little else… I’m still buzzing over our glorious win vs. that lot. But then this power shift nonsense has made me think. Compared to 10/15 years ago, yes – we and they are pretty much on a keel. On the pitch, at least. Off the pitch, we still […]
Has Wenger found the Golden key to unlock Im’Pressing’ performances weekly?
Unusually, after a victory over one of the top 4 teams, we have been rejoicing in the superlatives being showered on Arsenal and it is even sweeter that the vanquished team was the Spuds. The cockerel from The Seven Sisters Road has been silenced for a while and left once again to sit and stare […]
With Transfer Fees so high, Arsenal go for “Diamond Eye”
Diamond Eye It sounds like a James Bond movie from the 80’s but this time without the Vodka Martini part. Yesterday, Arsenal confirmed the signing of BVB scout Sven Mislintat whose nickname is “Diamond Eye” as he has spotted so many great talents over the last 10 years. At this point you might have heard […]
Mustafi at the centre of the three is the key to Arsenal’s success in 2017/18
Suffice to say I am still buzzing after Saturday’s magnificent win over the noisy neighbours from Middlesex. It was quite easily the team’s most comprehensive performance of the campaign to date and after that 90 minutes it would be hard not to point to the return of a certain German defender as being pivotal. It […]
Ozil Sipping Tea upsets the Anti-Arsenal Sixth form Journalists – Oh Dear!
Good morning. I’m not sure if it’s escaped people’s attention but the Arsenal media team appear to have upset the media. Scene: Daily Mail troll writes an article claiming no Arsenal players would get in a combined XI. Fine. Nonsense, but absolutely within rights to say that. Arsenal dominate Spurs and the PR team posts […]
Mustafi and Ozil steal the show as Arsenal put Spurs to the sword: #AFC2Spurs0
Thriving in adverse environment is sometimes made possible by the siege mentality. It’s the world against you, so will you put your hands up and surrender or will you mount a fightback? It’s a very simple notion, one that can be encapsulated in a phrase: “sod everyone, I will do it”. Arsenal took the latter […]
