An arm around the shoulder or slap around the chops?

Arsene faced the media yesterday and, probably as you'd expect, he was reasonably defiant after an appalling game in midweek. He didn't rule us out of a 'miracle' as Big Per has put it, but equally he didn't retract some of the criticism for the team from Wednesday. It's the right thing to do, because [...]

Big Per's belief, big ten days

By |2017-05-19T21:35:36+01:00February 27th, 2015|Arsenal|0 Comments

i'm glad big Per hasnt given up the possibility of exit from the Champions League in the same way he gave up his composure on a lacklustre Wednesday evening against an extremely beatable Monaco side. The tall German was the voice of the team yesterday in the aftermath of the debacle less than 24 hours earlier [...]

abject defensively, profligate offensively, inept tactically. Arsenal.

I'd like to tell you that nothing could have prepared us for yesterday's abomination of a performance from Arsenal at home to Monaco yesterday evening, but sadly we have a history littered with similar mistakes that have been perpetually repeated by Arsène Wenger's team at this stage of the competition, for now the fourth year [...]

Monaco game feels similar to Middlesbrough

Yesterday evening I watched Le Boss' press conference and I couldn't help but think:Why is Danny Welbeck there? It also got me asking myself the question on a more broader scale, because modern day footballers are so media trained to the 'nth' degree these days, that to avoid having their words twisted by the media, they [...]

'Obvious' klaxons, Giroud's award and Welbeck's form an issue for Theo

It's all rather quiet on this Tuesday morn, which is lovely given that there's a big game tomorrow and no doubt Arsène's presser at some stage today, so we'll get an update on who's available. We've already had Arsène's thoughts ahead of the visit of Monaco, in which he really goes out on a limb, [...]

Mourinho's propaganda, Arsenal's form & a happy week

I usually avoid any kind of football topics that aren't Arsenal related, but after seeing Jose Mourinho's less than subtle attempt to have more air time to push through his own personal agenda through the medium of Sky Sports' Goals on Sunday, I feel compelled to say something through my own soapbox platform, which is [...]

Gritty three points

I don't know why, but yesterday's game with Crystal Palace felt like a really big result, in the context of our Premier League season. There were many people I spoke to during the week who were pretty convinced that we were going to go to Selhurst Park and sweep aside a Palace side who have [...]

Palace: negate the pace out wide and play the more technically gifted

So we're back in league action today and it's a tricky game at Selhurst park in which the media seem to be all voting for us as their picks for victories this weekend. It's nice to know what supposed 'neutrals' think when looking at games and who should win, but as usual I'm not as [...]

A door opening for Chambers and Jack?

With the Crystal Palace game about 30 hours away, all of the focus turns back towards the Premier League today with Le Boss' press conference ahead of the trip to Selhurst Park. We've already had an injury update from the manager, confirming that Ramsey is three days in to a three week rehab programme, as [...]

Santi or Alexis: player of the season so far?

Chelski, eh? A deplorable club with a racist captain and selection of racist fans. But did we expect anything else? It's like somebody telling you that politicians don't always tell the truth. No sh*t Sherlock. Anyway, the less time spent on that odious team the better, so let's talk about something I've been thinking about [...]
