Our editor wrote a blog recently voicing concerns about the future of the young English Core at Arsenal. Yes we have a talented squad and no less than 6 of the Arsenal first team set up have featured for Hodgson’s England during eh qualifying period – Danny Welbeck, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs, Jack […]
When Arsenal.com came out with the infographic about Theo Walcott’s ten years spell at the Club, I could barely believe it. I remember very well when he signed, I remember his first appearance and I also have some exceptional memories involving the former Southampton man, however it was impossible for me to believe that ten […]
Adebayor is back in the Premier League having recently signed for Crystal Palace. I came across a tweet that took a dig at the player’s lack of loyalty and referring to him as a mercenary. Some time ago, I may have shared that sentiment; but, the Togolese forward’s letter of warning – posted some time […]
I had a bad feeling about the Chelsea game but I still put on a brave face to watch it. We’ve become a joke against those rotten Blues, season after season and game after game. There is no way that we should have lost that game even after the state of our midfield being what […]
It has been a rather depressing few days in the life of Arsenal fans after yet another sickening blow inflicted by the arch nemesis that is Chelsea. Despite the fact the red card we were dealt this time to Per Mertesacker being the correct decision, the sour taste left in the mouths of the Gunner […]
ARSENAL CIRCULAR 130 Judge at the end of the season, not now. There are still 45 points at stake. If, like me, you support the manager and want him to come through and win something significant this season – more than the FA Cup – you have to answer some awkward questions. That is how […]
Sentimentality Killed the Cat? Ultimately, 2 fundamental errors cost us yesterday. A la Lehmann in Paris, The BFG didn’t need to make the tackle. It was 18 minutes into the game, so if Costa had beaten Petr, we had plenty of time. Costa ain’t the quickest, so Per could have stayed with him and held […]
Today’s Sunday Times carries an interesting article by Jonathan Northcroft based on an interview with Paul Merson. He talks about possession, breaking fast and powerfully, and says that Arsenal have conceded possession as a tactic and achieved better results. Arsenal’s worst defeats have happened when they have had what he describes as “heavy possession”. He says […]
In the weeks that have passed since I last penned my thoughts, three successive home victories followed up by two successive away draws, has resulted in the team staying in contention for the league title as well as progressing to the fourth round of the FA Cup, where we will face a home tie against Burnley, a positive return in the eyes of most […]
We play Chelsea on Sunday and the Blues remain a very tricky opponent for us. We have improved against City and United in the last year or so, but hardly against Chelsea, being held to a goalless draw at the Emirates in April and losing away at Stamford Bridge (thanks to an atrocious performance from […]
