We’ve been presented with a good opportunity to get away from the bumpy ride the club has provided us with in the league, a chance to defend our cup. It’s certainly not an easy game and taking this fixture lightly could see us surprised similarly to our early Capital One Cup exit to Southampton. I […]
If Alexis Sanchez goes to the top, the Arsenal goes to the top – That Simple?
Ten goals in the league, four in Europe and one in the only game played in the league cup. On the top of that, seven assists delivered in all competitions so far. I’m pretty sure Adrian Durham is working on finding a way to label Alexis Sanchez as a failure, somehow, or include him into […]
Arsenal enjoy Christmas wins, a new midfield combi and target Winston Reid
Captain’s Log, star-date post Christmas. Chekov got me Taylor Swift’s album for Christmas as revenge for beaming his tree into space. Joke’s on him though, I FUCKING LOVE IT!!! QPR I expected the win. We got the win. Even with 10 men we did well. I don’t know what Giroud was thinking but he’s made […]
Young Guns? Can Arsene Wenger and Arsenal REALLY take credit for producing top talent?
Nurturing Talent I frequently come across debates about clubs and their youth products and what teams are worthy of taking pride in producing talent. I find this to be a fairly unique topic because the talent a club has ‘produced’ seems to be generally misinterpreted. When I found myself in a relative debate concerning youngsters […]
Dear Santa, please give Arsene Wenger his “thing” back at Arsenal
Dear Santa, I have been quite a good lad this year: I’ve been patient despite the fact that we have given away 11 points so far in the Premier League; I’ve looked for positives in troubled times, even when we conceded late, late goals in the most predictable way ever; I kept the faith when […]
Arsenal are NOT exciting any more under Arsene Wenger – Who’s Ready For Change?
A big game has passed and I have been left predictably underwhelmed by the outcome. The Liverpool game was very similar to the City game in September in the sense that we went a goal down first after an unconvincing start, after then managing to claw our way back into the game and gain a […]
LFC v AFC Preview – We aren’t going in with our Pants Down this year and it’s not lunchtime!
Captain’s Log star-date 1 week to go. Chekhov put a Christmas tree up on the bridge today. It looked nice but it was blocking the viewscreen, so I had Scotty beam it into space. Chekhov’s been mumbling quietly in Russian and giving me evils. It’s making me uncomfortable… Big game on Sunday. Away to Liverpool is […]
Arsenal don’t make the same mistake with Henry that you made with Vieira please!
Thierry Henry has retired, in case the news hasn’t been covered extensively enough. The news broke yesterday, courtesy of the King himself, and spread a tornado of statistics, numbers and figures which were created to prove us how great the man has been. As if anyone who has seen Thierry Henry playing needed statistics to […]
Arsenal 4 Newcastle 1: Gunners Get The Balance Right
When I saw the team sheet today, I was actually a lot less concerned pre-match than I have been mostly this season. The team had very good balance to it and all the players put a good shift in, although that should be a given. As embarrassing as the antics at the Stoke railway station […]
Arsenal must get more from Bould, Giroud will be top dog before long, while Ramsey is better than Messi and Ronaldo
Captain’s Log – Star date Christmas party time Would it be inappropriate to ask Uhura to jingle my bells? Now that the smoke has cleared from the Stoke and Galatasaray games we have a good opportunity to reflect on both results with level heads. One of the reasons I choose to write my blogs towards […]
