Sell Alexis?

Following my blog yesterday about how Arsenal haven't really adopted the counter attack properly in years, I thought I'd offer a somewhat controversial opinion as a solution, which I've been thinking about following the stories emerging about Alexis wanting to head back to Spain. Firstly, why he'd want to go back to a country who [...]

Arsenal haven’t counter-punched for years

On a WhatsApp Arsenal group I'm part of there was a discussion yesterday about whether Liverpool getting a tonking by Leicester - who hadn't scored in 2017 before yesterday - would be a good thing for Arsenal or not. Good question, and not one we'll know until we rock up at Anfield next Saturday evening. [...]

Jovial Arsène sounding out an exit strategy

Well now, that was an interesting press conference yesterday, wasn't it? I've got to be honest, I didn't think there'd be much of note to come out of the presser yesterday and I wondered if Arsène would be tetchy and downbeat, but he seemed rather jovial given the performance of his team in midweek. There [...]

Take Eek over Apathy with new Arsenal manager

Morning. I've woken up to a feeling that I thought I wouldn't get for at least another couple of days. I'm over the Bayern defeat already.  Perhaps it's because I always knew we weren't good enough. Perhaps it's because I vented my spleen on my blog yesterday. Perhaps I'm just so bored with Arsenal I [...]

Get the variables right against Bayern; and use pace to win on the counter

So here we are. Bayern Munich away. Like last season. And the season before. Etc, etc, repeat to fade.  I'd be more excited if we were playing a team with which we had a terrible record with, but haven't played for a while, if I'm honest with you. I'm just struggling to get too 'count [...]

Out of the Arsenal woodwork

I know for the last few days I've been talking about wanting change and the predictability of Arsenal's latest season petering out, but I feel like I've noticed something that's a little different from the press, which is the increased volume of 'who replaces Wenger?' articles that appear to be swilling around. I don't know [...]
