As the game wore on I started to get desperate. The reason for my desperation stemmed from the fact I couldn’t see how Arsenal was going to win the game, but it was obvious how Leicester could. It is a familiar situation for Arsenal fans, albeit not the most frequent one. Arsenal didn’t pose much […]
It may be a new season but already, Arsene is making the same mistakes that he’s made in previous campaigns. His lack of activity in the transfer market and poor team selection is once again, deservedly the focus of criticism from both pundits and supporters. On reflection, our overall performance in the opening day defeat […]
How I’m coping with the rest of this window. ____________________ Life is full of many constants, more so than the conventional “Deaths and Taxes” as popular culture would have you believe. There is the constant of happiness and suffering. Everyone will have a little bit of each within the context of their own lives. When […]
“The past four days have been extremely trying for me, and all Arsenal fans I would assume, following our opening day defeat at home to Liverpool. Sunday’s 4-3 reverse meant that we have only won one of our last six games on the opening weekend of the Premier League, which was that last-gasp 2-1 home […]
Spend what you earn or reap what you sow? Based on the club ethos of balancing the books and running the club the ‘right way’, it is fair to ask as fans ‘Why are we not spending what we earn?’ I don’t proclaim to be a financial wizard, so my assessment will be pretty basic, […]
I have read the excellent articles by Petits Ponytail, Alex Baguzin and Timothy Hargreaves and this contribution is designed to augment them rather than to try to improve upon them. The one by Timothy was predictive and was written pre the Liverpool match and that is the cue for my lead in. Just before the game […]
The 2016/17 Premier League season is finally here and nobody is feeling the pressure more than Arsene Wenger. Ultimately, this campaign could define the Frenchman’s legacy at the club; will he go down as a hero or somebody who outstayed his welcome? Only time will tell but another Premier League title would certainly help his […]
Dear Fellow Gunners If in recent years you have associated yourself with the vigorous anti-Wenger brigade then yesterdays defeat by Liverpool will have reinforced your commitment to the cause that Wenger must leave Arsenal FC as soon as possible. I hasten to add this is not my view for reasons that appear below but if […]
On a beautiful august day Arsenals premier league charge began, and after a block buster 90 minutes cautious optimism gave way to full scale meltdown. A four three defeat against Liverpool left the long suffering emirates faithful with an all too familiar feeling. Let down by a side underprepared, undercooked and undermanned. The disappointment comes […]
When Theo Walcott failed to convert the penalty kick I thought it was going to be one of those days. I don’t have the numbers to back it and I’m not sure this kind of data exists in a public source readily available, but I have this nagging feeling Arsenal rarely does well after scuffing […]
