Morning all. Despite surrendering a two goal lead, I suspect the Toots will be the happier club after yesterday’s draw at The Emirates because apart from a few counter attacks, we were pretty much all over them. Ok, we were the better team and if you’re a stats fan, we outdid them in every department. […]
Morning all. Two more players parted company with Arsenal FC yesterday, Mohammed Elneny has left on a season long loan to Besiktas and Nacho Monreal has return to Spain with Real Sociedad. The latter leaving at this particular moment in time might bite us in the backside. I’m not saying it will as Kolasinac on […]
Morning all. ’Things ain’t what the used to be’ – a line from an old song which I just about remember. Not the original version of course as that was well before my time, as was the first north London Derby. There are plenty of local derbies in football, Reading v Oxford or Swindon is […]
Morning all. David Dein and Arsene Wenger seemed a match made in heaven at Arsenal. Prior to the Frenchman’s arrival, Dennis Bergkamp had arrived and from then onwards, both Dein and Wenger worked their magic. Dein off the pitch and Wenger on it and for the next few years, Arsenal were the best in England. […]
Morning all. I guess nearly everything written in the newspapers these days needs to be taken with a pinch of salt, even the so called “quotes.” I’ve read or listened to Arsene Wenger’s interviews in the past and Unai Emery’s in the present and often a so called full transcript of those interviews have often […]
Morning all. The shining light of Arsenal FC circa 2018/19, were the forwards. Last season the Arsenal strikers pretty much got us to the Europa League Final by themselves. Aaron Ramsey apart, our midfield lacked creativity and dynamism, certainly against Napoli and Valencia. The days of having Marc Overmars, Bobby Pires, Freddie Ljungberg and Sylvain […]
Morning all. It’s a Bank Holiday here in England, the sun is shining so enjoy it whatever you’re up to. For everyone else, don’t work too hard. Lol Yesterday, history was created by Ben Stokes, Jack Leach and England as they chased down what looked to be a winning scoreline set by the old enemy […]
Morning all. I guess sometimes one has to accept an opposing team is better than us. More advanced in their long term plan and better at executing it on the pitch. Sure, it’s frustrating, annoying even and invariably we think a different starting eleven would have done better, a different formation or tactical change would […]
Morning all. Darkness had long fallen over the city of Liverpool by the time our early evening match kicked off at Anfield on the 29th December 2018. Like many Arsenal fans no doubt, I feared a trouncing was coming and sadly, it did. AMN had opened the scoring early in the game but that lead […]
Morning all. Have to hand it to Unai Emery really as he’s telling us in no uncertain terms that he agrees with us. Mustafi and Elneny aren’t right for Arsenal Football Club and he wants them gone. Sharpish too as they’re not going to be selected to play much this season, if at all. He’s […]
Morning all. The big Arsenal story over the last 24/48 hours relates to the interview David Ornstein held with Josh Kroenke, details of which have been tinkered with here and there in order to make a good headline on NewsNow. Certainly surrounding the January 2020 transfer window which Josh Kroenke has alleged Arsenal will be busy […]
Morning all. There was a time when the Arsenal midfield what a thing of beauty. Powerfully destructive in it’s defending of the oppositions attempts to threaten, dynamic in turnovers, brutally efficient, with a Gallo-Romance twist or a South American Samba. The names trip off of the tongue; Petit, Vieira, Edu, Gilberto Silva, Parlourinho. They drove us […]
