Arsenal Sell Everything. Who cares, the World is going to end anyway
Sell everything, who cares the world is going to end anyway! So well yeh, that is quite the nihilistic title for you to mull over on an Arsenal based website as you are sipping your Pimm’s and lemonade. As you may be able to tell, I am not the most serious or indeed the least […]
The Koscielny Conundrum: Call it a Day on Captain Clay?
The Koscielny conundrum You see the problem with hitting a chav with a glass bottle is, you smash your glass. This is also a problem for Arsene Wenger when it comes to club captain Laurent Koscielny, the more you use him, the more he gets injured. Laurent Koscielny has been at Arsenal for over seven […]
Reasonable Arsenal Expectations for 17/18 – 60 Goals between Lacazette, Giroiud and Alexis?
17/18 season expectations The season has started. And thus far, it’s reasonably good. A pulsating 4-3 win vs. Leicester City was added to a “friendly trophy” win vs. Chelsea at Wembley. Last season was poor, bar the FA Cup of course, though the past is the past, and we should look to the future. So […]
Invincible Flame-haired Punk: Highbury Hero Freddie Ljungberg
I’m setting the dial on the time machine to take us back to 1998, when a young 21 year old punk haired Swede announced his arrival in North London by coming off the bench at Highbury and within five minutes he cheekily lobbed the ball over Peter Schmeichel to score his first goal for The […]
What Arsenal Need to Build on From Their Week 1 Victory
Fixating on negatives is generally the easy thing to do. Negative thoughts and feelings are more powerful than their positive counterparts and elicit stronger responses from others. I’m choosing to focus on the key positives from Arsenal’s 4-3 opening day win over Leicester City. League titles are not won or lost in August. Arsenal’s title […]
Arsenal begin season being ‘Arsenally’ – Plus Zonal marking to be banned to shut up Jame Carragher
So, a new football season, and all the joy it brings, is upon us once more, and I’ve decided to have a go at bringing back the season diary. I’ve not written in quite a while now for one reason or another, so if this is shit you can blame it on that. I was […]
Why Wenger’s New Tactical Flexibility may give Bellerin the edge over Oxlade-Chamberlain
The opening game of Arsenal’s campaign ended with a positive result, just. I am not going to say I was not concerned at 3-2 down, although those who sit with me will confirm I predicted the final score-line at halftime. Whilst it is too early to draw too many conclusions after one match, there was […]
A Tinge of Frustration but a Touch of Hope – Will History remember Giroud as an Arsenal Great?
94 Seconds is what it took for the Arsenal to open their account for the new campaign, and it had to be our club record signing, Lacazette. It was well past midnight in my part of the world when he guided that ball in, and I had absolutely no thought or respect for the fact […]
He is so Good that Sead ‘The Beast’ Kolasinac should Partner Xhaka in Midfield
Glorious Chaos; Enjoy the Arsenal ride. Well it was an interesting start to the season. Our defensive frailties seem to still be there, but to be fair, it was probably our 2nd choice back 3 and Cech didn’t bask himself in glory by going walkabout for two of the goals. Similar to last year’s start […]
