This week’s post will be inverted. First the Honourable Mentions, then the Stellar Moments and finally the Star Man. And let us not kid ourselves here we all know who that is. Honourable Mentions: Olivier Giroud: He made himself a possible target in the box every time there was one needed and his run ahead […]
It’s funny isn’t it how one display of our true talent which personified Arsene Wenger’s philosophy that has encompassed our great club can really change the mood in our fan base. The demons from the West Brom game seem to have been exorcised as our boys brought out the big guns to comfortably dispose of […]
Unsung Heroes! Insomnia has a lot of side effects. My father suffers from it, I have had bouts of it but neither of us have ever signed Arsenal’s first ever Brazilian player because of it. Arsenal.com explains how Silvinho dropped onto (then) chief Scout Steve Rowley’s radar: “I couldn’t get to sleep one night,” Steve […]
Well, well…its back in our hands, as Mesut Özil told the world via Twitter. After one of the most underwhelming starts to a European campaign in recent years, we have now one chance to go beyond the group stage and get in the mix with Europe’s élite when the competition starts again. Before thinking about […]
Following the end of 2015’s series of International breaks, club football has once again taken centre stage, to pave way for four un-interrupted months of league action. By the time the next set of FIFA engagements takes place in February, we will be greeted with a less ambiguous picture of clubs’ aspirations, heading into the […]
Well, that was fun. A sound thrashing, order restored and a great performance on top. Also, Bayern hammerred Olympiacos at at Allianz, which means the second team to go through will be determined in Greece a fortnight from now. Wenger made two changes to the side that went down to West Brom on Saturday: Flamini for the […]
The last couple of days or so has seen a meltdown of almost catastrophic proportions across the Arsenal fan base due to the injury of our seemingly only capable midfield enforcer Francis Coquelin. The knee injury sustained by our ‘police officer’ has many believing that our title challenge could suffer greatly as a consequence, although […]
It’s been a weekend for the prophecies people. Every nut with a bet on Coquelin’s ligaments suddenly thinks he is better than everybody at the club and the naysayers are out in force, saying it is the end of our season. The Champions League provides a much needed exit route from all the ‘end of […]
This game can be summed up with a phrase “it was one of those games”. Everything went against us. We’ve made some uncharacteristic individual errors, were not helped in the slightest by Clattenburg and, basically, looked doomed to lose the game especially after missing the penalty. I’m not inclined to blame the manager for this […]
The above became an iconic image as Francis Coqulin truly announced himself back on the Arsenal scene playing an integral part in the team’s 2-0 triumph away at City in the Spring. From his return from a short loan at Charlton, Le Coq and Arsenal have not looked back as he played his part in […]
