On the 12th of May, Arsenal’s Champions League hopes were severely dented by the old enemy as Tottenham Hotspur ran out 3-0 winners on home soil. A result that many didn’t expect but one that led to the Gunners’ capitulation towards the dying embers of the season, losing out on a place in Europe’s top […]
5 ways to become an Arsenal legend. 1 – Arsene Wenger – August 1996 I tried to watch the Tottenham match on television in my hotel yesterday, but I fell asleep. 2 – Patrick Vieira – September 1996 David Dein: “Patrick do you speak any English?” Vieira: “Yes Mr Dein”, Dein: “What do you know?” […]
Good day to the Arsenal Community! We are all massively pumped with the way Arsenal brushed aside the “mighty” Tottenham. From the 1st minute till the last, barring only a small spell of around 10 minutes, Arsenal absolutely battered them all over the park. Its fair to say that we outplayed them just like we […]
We’ve had a great start to the season, admittedly we’ve had a fairly favourable run (at least compared to recent seasons) but it has been majestic nonetheless. We are playing with a level of control back to front I have never seen before in an Arsenal team. We look maturer and more confident than last […]
There is no better feeling going into work than the feeling going into work knowing you have beaten your rivals convincingly at the weekend. One of the many things Coronavirus robbed us of was the opportunity to strut into that office on a Monday morning feeling eight foot high, feeling like a rock star. No […]
The 71st minute POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES By Coach Mike McDonald This season has been a new thing. There are so many new and happy things for Arsenal to feel good about. The atmosphere, the energy, the feel good factor, the belief, the consistency, the quiet hope of challenging and possibly winning the Premier League, […]
THE North London Derby is unlike any match and as any Gooner will tell you the anticipation felt ahead of the game is unique. There is excitement of course but it is more than tempered by a nervous energy which makes the build-up almost painful. It is a cliche to say that form goes out […]
Champions League, here we come!It wasn’t pretty, it wasn’t easy, but we made it to the group stage, which was the ultimate goal. Vivianne Miedema’s long-range strike was enough to see off a spirited Ajax side that threatened to spoil the party, midway through the second half.A matter of inches, really, exactly those that […]
It would be fair to say that the Arsenal fanbase in general showed a lack of faith and a fair amount of concern at the end of the Transfer Window. The worries concentrated around a lack of depth in central midfield and also on whether the squad had cover to rest and rotate an over […]
There is so much to say, so much to tell about the four-nil home win against Spurs that it’s truly hard to pick one player, one moment, one tactical aspect of this very welcome win. We could talk about the eighth straight clean-sheet; we could talk about Rafaelleʻs performance at the back (everywhere, actually…); we […]
