Many now refer to the international break as the ‘interlull’ – wholly down to arseblog – but for me the last week or so has been quite refreshing. Once the hysteria of the loss to Swansea died down then everything just became rather placid and I have a void in my locker, a void that […]
Yesterday I was having a chat via Twitter with a fellow Gooner and serial podcaster, known on the internet as @RamblinGooner, about the upcoming winter transfers window and how Arsène Wenger will strengthen our squad. Will he sign a defender? Will he sign a defensive midfielder? Will he sign both? Then suddenly I found myself […]
Yes, it’s bloody frustrating supporting Arsenal, but hey, at least it’s not boring. Over the last few weeks, the vitriol between the pro and anti Arsene Wenger camps has reached fever pitch and Twitter has gone into melt down. I think we should take a step back and reflect. Arsene deserves the utmost respect and […]
Fancy reading about what’s wrong at Arsenal at the moment and what needs to be done about it then? No, thought not….. Well, its great fun at the moment ain’t it? In the short space of two weeks, my twitter timeline has gone from being almost entirely made up of discussion about which […]
So what Arsene Wenger angle could I possibly take this week? Well, it’s one that has driven my nuts in recent years and that is the lack of accountability for poor performances. Particularly as a result of our collapses, in particular I’m looking at Newcastle and Anderlecht. So what do I mean by accountability. Well, […]
I was reading some blogs in the aftermath of both the 3-3 draw against Anderlecht at home and the 1-2 defeat at the Liberty Stadium – it was quite depressing, I must say. I agree issues seem blatant and it appears they haven’t been addressed for some time; I agree that mistakes look often the […]
The art of defending, where has it all gone? The marvelous defensive players of the past were once the backbone of their teams, bringing protection and stability throughout. But what has gone wrong since then? Football is leaning towards an attacking style of play, relying on strong midfielders, pacey wingers and lethal strikers. What about […]
“A Little Less Conversation” Following Anderlecht, Arsene Wenger said; “We had bad luck because the first goal is offside, we had bad concentration because we thought the job was done, we had fatigue and didn’t win the challenges anymore.” Following Swansea, Wenger said; “It was a game where we were in control and at 1-0 up I […]
It’s All So Familiar, Change Is Urgent – ‘Our season is in tatters’ I said that last year, the year before and the year before that in fact I think I’ve said that every year since 2008 where an Eduardo injury left ‘our season in tatters’, when will it stop? I have the answer…. when […]
Reasons to be hopeful? Let’s be realistic, (not that we weren’t anyway). 4th place has been the realistic aim since last month. Swansea away was always going to be a tough game, but it was a game that we needed to win and should have won. It was another clusterfuck, and we really needed those […]
