It’s The Arsenal, it’s all about perspective Following 2 defeats in 4 days, to some fans, twitter has become a place of vitriol and vengeance, with a number trolling other fans for their personal views. Through all the shite, I was relieved to find a level headed view and with the kind permission of the […]
Arsenal’s route to the Champions League final Back in May 2006, Arsenal were just 14 minutes away from winning the Champions League for the first time. Talismanic defender Sol Campbell had nodded the Gunners in front before half-time against Barcelona, despite a red card for goalkeeper Jens Lehmann in the 18th minute; Arséne Wenger’s side […]
Ok How to enjoy your trip when going to watch arsenal in the Champion’s League? So for the first time in ages, Arsenal has managed to top their group gifting them the possibility of playing a ‘weaker’ team in the latter part of the competition. But it’s Arsenal and despite them finishing top of their […]
The host side Manchester City came from a goal down (0-1) to beat Arsenal 2-1 in an intriguing encounter at the Etihad Stadium. It was City’s second win in a row as Watford lost 2-0 at the Etihad earlier in the week. Arsenal on the their own part have now lost 2 in 2 in […]
This week’s trip down memory lane takes us back to the mid 1980’s, when a young centre back emerged at Arsenal. A man you’d always be thankful he was playing with you, rather than against you, my Highbury Hero this time is the magnificent Martin Keown. Martin was a wonderful defender. He was as tough […]
Following the comments I made to Faisal Mohammad`s blog I have read many reports of the City Game and other blogs on Gunners town. The consensus of all of them is profound disappointment with the Arsenal performances of late. The causes which are cited are also almost universal. They are 1. No commitment 2. No […]
Talk of possessing ‘Mental Strength’ looks more mental when you’ve had a week like Arsenal has. It is just over a week since Arsenal came from behind to dispatch Stoke City relatively comfortably at the Emirates Stadium. Having trailed to a penalty midway through the first half, three goals in reply handed the Gunners three […]
I’m really not kidding with that title. I had not written much about Arsenal recently, because there was not a lot to complain about from my side. Ramsey was injured (always a positive for me when he doesn’t play) and the team looked like they were capable of grinding out results against most teams, aside […]
The last time I felt like this was in late February. We lost two games on the trot too back then: United away and Swansea at home. I guess it hurt more, simply because these defeats put paid to our title hopes. But our current form does have a lot of common with our February […]
It’s exactly 6:03 pm GMT as I type this up. I have never typed up a column so soon after a game, because I want my columns to be bereft of any rashness and thoughtlessness. Case in point, today. After sitting through 94 minutes of what was an appalling, heart wrenching and devastating loss to […]
