Michael Jeffares Column Welcome to this week’s bumper edition blog, I’ve so much to discuss and so little time. It’s been quite a positive few days for us after seeing a positive response to our defeat to Aston Villa and the ship has been steadied somewhat following a comprehensive victory at a drenched Fulham. Defeat […]
Gunners Fair It is amazing what a week’s break can do for the sanity of a football fan. 3 crucial victories and strong performances from the boys have soothed our troubles at least while the transfer window sagas play out over the course of the next few days. In the mean time, the Arsenal Ladies […]
The Ones Who Got Away This is a new series on the players that Arsenal once almost signed but due to a variety of reasons, have unfortunately missed out on. Whether it is a case of another club coming in for the player (such as Juan Mata) or of failed work permits (Yaya Toure), there […]
Doppelpass With our place in the Champions League now secure, it’s time to get our transfer business started. Do we have deals in place? Do we have targets who demand Champions League football? I’m quite sure of that because otherwise we could have signed players before right? There’s simply no other explanation. As we are […]
Matt’s Match Review Arsenal avoided any unlikely difficulties and eased into the Champions League group stages for another year by seeing off Fenerbahce 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium, resulting in a 5-0 aggregate victory. The visitors, utterly useless in the first leg of the tie last week, came with a bit more vigour about them […]
Far Side View This week’s edition of The FarSideView is a bit of a mash up and a bit of a muddle. Please accept my apologies in advance. It’s partly a piece I started a couple of weeks ago (and never really got around to finishing) and partly inspired by a three-word Tweet last Thursday.
Season Diary Due to this being a two-game week, coming off the back of a home defeat to Aston Villa in our first game of the new season, I think it’s only fitting that this week’s piece should come to you somewhat chronologically. Firstly, I am now officially sick to the back teeth of transfer talk […]
Gunners Town Top 5 This is it. No not the Michael Jackson movie/album but the fact that we’re into the final week of the transfer window before we’re left with what we have until the overpriced January jumble sale hits us. The next seven days could be absolutely pivotal as far as the rest of […]
Global Gooner Sundays A LOT has changed since Arsenal won the league unbeaten; the players, the stadium, the board, the philosophy and the way the team plays. Obviously one major thing has changed since the 2005, the amount of silverware acquired by Arsenal (make your jokes now!). But there is one thing most people overlook […]
Matt’s Match Review Strange to think that only our second Premier League game of the season was being dubbed by some as “must-win” in the build up to our short trip across London to face Fulham at Craven Cottage. But after last Saturday’s catastrophe at the Emirates plus opening weekend wins for both Manchester clubs, […]
