Nothing against Poldi, but we've been upgrading since he arrived

With all the talk of new signings and the like so far this summer, I seem to have completely forgotten about some of the existing players whose future is in the air for the opposite reasons, i.e. they'll most likely be shipped out of the club. So with Lukas Podolski admitting that his Italian adventure [...]

Job done in the league and a decent season overall

By |2017-05-19T20:12:14+01:00May 25th, 2015|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsene Wenger, gooners, Gunners, Match Review, premier league|0 Comments

Well that's it for the Premier League for another season and what a way to finish the season. A hat trick from an unexpected source, a wonder goal for Jack that hijacks goal of the season by Arsenal fans (don't you just love our club's online presence?) on Match of the Day, as well as [...]

Sunderland preview: Breaking down a defence again

By |2017-05-19T20:12:14+01:00May 20th, 2015|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsene Wenger, Attack, Formation, gooners, Gunners, Match Preview|0 Comments

A lovely midweek game to keep us occupied tonight, how thoughtful of The Arsenal to get so far in the FA Cup and ensure this fixture was moved to a midweek, where we would have something to talk about. And that something appears to be how likely Arsene is to shuffle his deck a little [...]

United preview: play with width and stretch an average back four

By |2017-05-19T20:12:15+01:00May 17th, 2015|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsene Wenger, Attack, Formation, Match Preview, midfield|6 Comments

United at Old Trafford. A game in which historically has had extreme significance, but in very recent times has not been as intense as the early Arsene Wenger years. Neither side is competing for the league for one thing, which inevitably results in a reduction of the pressure, but at least both teams have something [...]

Internal solutions to external questions on transfers; Santi the quarterback

By |2017-05-19T20:12:16+01:00May 9th, 2015|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, Arsene Wenger, contracts|0 Comments

Plenty to talk about today, as Arsene had his pre-match presser and had lots to say on a wide range of topics. He was asked about doing transfer business early and gave  the standard sort of non-committal answer about not doing early transfer business, but doing the right transfer business, which would surely be all [...]

Blessed be St Tott with the gift of three points

Much like Easter, I do prefer it when St Totterigham's Day is bought forward in the calendar, as it enables us to enjoy it more I think. It was nice for the authorities to see fit to grant a national bank holiday in honour of the occasion. I spent my St Totteringham's Day in the [...]

Making life hard, but doing the job. Just.

Well we don't half make life hard for ourselves, don't we? I mean this was a Reading team who were 18th in the Championship, with a season of inconsistent performances, but very little to play for other than this game and so I suppose this was always going to be a little bit more difficult [...]

Unwelcome interruptions and welcome opponents

Well folks, here we are, we've wandered knowingly into an international break and there's no Arsenal until Easter. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada. It's bloody hard going at times like this. Especially when it feels like it's been so long since one of these inconveniences has come around. From August to December there seemed to be one [...]

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 [...]

Leicester: restart that run Arsenal

No time for losing ourselves in a metaphorical cave of melancholy made by a weekend derby defeat, as it's bottom of the league Leicester who make their way to The Emirates this evening. It's a game that you'd say should be the perfect type of match for us to play in such quick succession after [...]
