Hi fellow Gooners, I’d like to share some of my thoughts about a very important – although nervy – win at Selhurst Park, would you mind reading this blog? Playing Crystal Palace away from home is not ideal when you are already desperate for a win, therefore I wasn’t utterly confident about us getting the […]
So a needed win for us against Crystal Palace on Sunday but I sit here remaining largely unconvinced by the strength of our first XI. I really do hope Wenger makes the necessary signings needed to elevate us otherwise it’s the same old story of ‘Arsenal being 1 or 2 players short to challenge’. We […]
“Quarterback” Definition: A member of the offensive team that lines up directly behind the offensive line. The Quarterback is the leader of the offensive team, responsible for calling the play. Cazorla back in the centre, next to Le Coq, playing the role he converted to last season and made his own. Not flirting around on the wings, have little […]
“Signed, sealed, delivered” Do you know where this phrase originated from? No? Neither did I until very recently. Until I started studying common law, in fact. The phrase refers to an agreement called “contract under seal”. This type of agreement is an unusual one: it places the written form above the consideration (consideration is that […]
There are a lot of reasons to love Aaron Ramsey, and very few to hate him. He turned down Manchester United and signed for Arsenal instead He came back from the most horrific injury – better and stronger He personally kept the celebrity population in check He scored the winner in the most important […]
After the positive tone of my previous post, it was perhaps inevitable that the team would go on to produce a collectively uninspiring opening game performance that delivered an unexpected early blow to the optimism built up by supporters during recent weeks. One thing that could be expected following the poor result against West Ham, […]
If there are positives to be gleaned from a defeat, then the discussion it generates is surely one of these. While you can praise your team after a win only so many times, there are endless ways to dissect why it has lost. Of course it’s all a bit exaggerated: there is no sure way […]
Aaron Ramsey is becoming a very divisive character nowadays. At only 25 years of age, this fella has already endured some very hard times in his career and is likely to get some more stick from fans, especially if Arsène Wenger keeps playing him alongside Francis Coquelin in midfield. I still don’t know what to […]
The activities and fallout from last Sunday’s agonizing derby defeat at the Emirates might still remain unclear and unparalleled but there’s a certain fact already established: This side still struggles when they go behind. That said it’s quite difficult to tell if this season’s opener was a one-off or a reflection of Arsenal’s recent […]
This afternoon I would ask for your attention for 5 minutes to read a blog that contains no tactics, no formations, no transfer speculation or indeed anything about the Arsenal team, their woeful start of their forthcoming fixtures. What you are about to read however does have an awful lot to do with being […]
