Last night was Arsenal Women’s first must-win game of the season and they delivered. Big time. Although the final scoreline could be considered a bit harsh on the Germans, especially after the first half, the win is well deserved. In a night that saw us scoring four goals, it was our off-the-ball shape and performance […]
When I was asked to review ‘Arsenal for Everyone’ I was a little nervous as it’s probably the 7th book I’ve ever read and I’m not 6 years old. I read articles, tweets and such all the time but even after reading The Miracle of Castel Di Sangro (brilliant), I always find myself too energized […]
Nothing better than a convincing win to heal the wounds of a heavy loss.Arsenal bounced back from the defeat suffered in Barcelona with a three-nil win against Everton, at Meadow Park, and recorded their fifth straight win in the league. We’re now the only team to win every single game so far and we are […]
Very early into his appointment, Mikel Arteta made a careful, well-thought observation about the kinds of players needed in the Premier League. This quote, laced with nuance, was soon going to prove prophetic. “For City, or any top side, it’s obviously great to have players who will give you control of the ball, control of […]
There has rarely been a player in recent years to divide the Arsenal fanbase in the way Granit Xhaka does. Perhaps only latter day Ozil in the last few seasons. However, whether you are in the pro Xhaka camp, or in the camp that feels he represents years of under achievement, you will acknowledge that […]
If there is one game that could have ended our perfect start of the season, it was the UWCL tie against Barcelona.The reigning champions continue to look way ahead of any competition in Europe and that includes us, obviously. No surprise here, really: they were the better team on paper and confirmed it on the […]
Four-nil to the Arsenal! It wasn’t that easy, though. Aston Villa were very difficult to break down but our overall quality made all the difference, eventually. Jonas Eidevall and the team continued their perfect start, recording their ninth win on the trot in all competitions and their fourth in a row in the league, taking […]
A game for the future POSITIVES, NEEDS and HOPES Did we simply not play very well? Were we pressed beyond suffocation? Were we a little lucky to get a point? Are we a ‘prime conditions’ team? Are we still a team that needs ‘perfection’ to create chances? Did we play to Brighton’s strengths? Are our […]
Today we take the trip up to Brighton for the early evening fixture. Given the events of Guendouzi/Maupay-gate a little bit of a feud has built up between Arsenal and Brighton fans and players alike. Nothing sinister of course but Arsenal fans certainly remember the challenge by Maupay which resulted in a long term […]
Wherever they go. Wherever they go. It’s fair to say that it’s been a great few days for us Gooners: the men’s team won the North London Derby, the women’s team thrashed Manchester City five-nil and last night Jonas Eidevall’s girls battered Sp*rs in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Tottenham get battered wherever they […]
