If any of you were thinking about a nice festive period with absolutely no surprises, then I’m sorry for you guys. Just like me you have been done in by Arsenal Football Club and its promises of being top. No problem though because that Mahrez bloke goes up against Manchester City today and I dare […]
Boxing Day was a huge reality check for the players and the manager as it came immediately after the highs of the win over Manchester City. The 4-0 drubbing at Southampton was not what you’d expect from title favourites but fortunately for Arsenal, just about any team in the league looks capable of taking a […]
When I saw Fonte power his header past Cech in the 66th minute, I turned the game off. It’s what I always do when the Gunners go 3 down. I haven’t watched us lose to United 8-2. I haven’t witnessed our 6-0 humiliation at the hands of Chelsea, or the 5-1 at Anfield. Even this […]
I have just watched Arsenal disintegrate against Southampton in a way which takes me back to the worst of our defensive performances i.e. Liverpool, Man U, Man City and Chelsea. Throw in Monaco and Dynamo Zagreb just for fun. Ironically, as I sat at my PC I noticed Timothy Hargreaves article about defensive discipline. I […]
No rest for the wicked as the Gunners (along with the other 19 teams, truth be told) prepare for their Boxing Day game against Southampton. And despite Southampton’s atrocious recent form (1 point in 6 games, with only 2 goals scored during that run), I feel uneasy about this match. Maybe because I can’t recall […]
Many of you will be aware that I am not the biggest fan of Aaron Ramsey. I read much of Sohum’s article from before the Manchester City match last week, some points I agreed with and some not so much. I’d just like to highlight some things before tonight’s match concerning Arsenal’s tactics, selections and […]
Christmas comes but once a year! Christmas comes but once a year, Bringing Gooners everywhere plenty of cheer. But don’t forget the very best part, Chelsea imploding causing Maureen to depart. And United can score at home or away!!?? With Van Gaal facing the sack, well any day City are wasting the money from the […]
The game was approaching a half-hour mark when I started having serious misgivings about Arsenal winning it. An opening 15-minute period of Arsenal’s sterile possession gave way to a 15-minute period of City’s sterile possession and then Arsenal seized control of the ball once more. But nothing was happening still. 31st minute came and were […]
How good was last night’s match? Just how good was that win? If you watched it, you’d know the answer to those questions. I was so impressed with our performance that I’m writing a match report and watching the match again this morning. The issue about our struggles in the ‘big games’ has become so […]
Players busk for the Arsenal Foundation Petr Cech and ‘Santr’ Clause rocked out to carols last week to create a special Christmas song, to raise awareness of the Arsenal Foundation. Alexis Sanchez and Nacho Monreal joined the band with Alexis on the keyboard and Nacho on the bells. The song is released ahead of Arsenal’s […]
