Going into the game, the expectations were high. It’s understandable: we were on a streak of wins, City dropped points against Villa earlier and, finally, we played Spurs. However, one simple fact wasn’t quite taken into account, by yours truly too: we have a stretched squad which is also exhausted. For almost every player who […]
Sorry for the radio silence in midweek. I just couldn’t bring myself to write going over our loss in Munich, not the least because I haven’t watched the 2nd half (though I’ll likely rectify it by the time you read my preview). Despite the heavy loss we can still qualify by beating Dinamo Zagreb at […]
Remember this moment: 8am Saturday, 7th November, 2015 (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) Why? You ask. Well this was the moment that the world found out that Maureen finally understood everything. It was announced to the world that Maureen was on record as saying; “Wenger is right” Unfortunately, Maureen was only talking about referee. Following his […]
The result against Bayern was bad but I think that if we had been able to field the same team as we did for the first match it would have been a much different result. Gabriel`s lack of match time showed and the gaps between him and Mertesacker were apparent throughout. I would say one […]
As it’s been a few weeks since I last wrote, it’s not really worth going over it all here. It’s been a decent few weeks, with some cracking results and performances, topped off with The Special One gradually becoming The Batshit Mental One. Nice. This week I’ve decided to dedicate some time to help in […]
The memorable win in the reverse fixture is still in our minds, isn’t it? A true masterpiece by the players and the manager allowed us to stop the unstoppable Bayern Munich and earned us a lifeline in this utterly complicated Champions League journey; the only problem is that we would need to produce another […]
We face Bayern for the 2nd time in two weeks and I’m really intrigued how this game will play out. Ideally, we need at least a point from the game. That doesn’t mathematically guarantee us safe passage, because there is a chance Olympiacos will get more than three points in the next two games, but […]
After the events in midweek an Arsenal fan would be forgiven if he were found to be hoping for a draw at the Liberty Stadium. I was also one of those people even despite knowing that Gomis was not at his best. All the hope and ‘cohesion’ in the world would be soon forgotten in […]
“It is difficult. Even if I had not played a lot last season, in my head I would return to start after my recovery. But, at the Community Shield against Chelsea, Wenger chose him, Bellerin. It was a surprise and a disappointment. Let’s say it [leaving] crossed my mind.”- Mathieu Debuchy. Football is indeed, as […]
If you follow me on Twitter, then you know that I’m generally outraged at Russian commentary and commentators. The commentators generally fall into two categories: just incompetent at providing correct and interesting insight and those who are anti-Arsenal on top. There is actually a third category: neutral commentators who are pretty good at their thing, […]
