Today, friends, is not a day for talking down the lack of pace of the Milan side. Nor is it a time to dismiss the failings of the Italian domestic league as 'budget' or 'substandard'. No, today is a day where we need to revel in an Arsenal performance, because in 2018 we have not [...]
I wasn't confident of getting anything from the game yesterday before the match itself, but what I did have hope for was that stereotype that 'form goes out the window' and that any Derby for any team is a great leveller. Not Arsenal though. Not this Arsenal team. I'm still actually a little angry about [...]
Morning all, hope you are grand and dandy and you have woken up to a Thursday in which great things can happen? Alternatively it could just be a regular run-of-the-mill Thursday in which you get to the end of your day and wonder what you have actually achieved. Life, eh? Arsène will do his press [...]
The build up to tonight's league encounter with Swansea may be dominated by a certain player coming in from Dortmund and a certain handsome Arsenal player being an option for that most horrid of clubs Chelski, but I'm preferring to focus on the reason we are here today, which is the stuff that's played on [...]
In the cold light of the new day, I can say with a degree of comfort that in the end, that was an enjoyable football match. It didn't start that well though, did it? I mean I don't really know what Arsène was thinking about when he decided to opt for four at the back [...]
We've all been watching this game enough by now. We've all seen this before a few times and therefore we all know at what stage we're at in the process. The manager's have done their little bit of talking. The club's have done their bit of talking. No fees have been agreed yet, so we [...]
What more can I say this morning that I haven't already said about this Arsenal team? How many times can I talk about the same frailties, the same mistakes, the same lack of ideas, the same lack of drive? There is literally no other way to try to spin a story out of this repetitive [...]
Ive got to be honest and say that when the teams were announced yesterday, I did indeed fear the worst, given the week that we've had. Iwobi punished for his breaking of club rules last week by getting a start against Chelski in a semi final, no Özil, Alexis on the bench, injuries racking up. [...]
Watching Arsenal as a neutral must be great fun. A bit like Liverpool. Goals, but quite frankly, shambolic defenders and you have yourself a recipe for enjoyment from an armchair and a beer and not a lot else. Unfortunately for me, and I suspect you if you're reading this, the emotional investment in Arsenal isn't [...]
A December 2017 win against Crystal Palace for Arsenal and whilst defensive issues remain, the goals flowed.
