Arsenal fixture review and Walcott’s ‘mental strength’

By |2017-05-19T20:11:37+01:00January 19th, 2016|analysis, Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsene Wenger, Gunners, injuries, premier league|0 Comments

I wonder if there was a conversation between Theo and Arsène, before Walcott talked up the teams 'mental strength' post Stoke away. It does seem as though that interview was straight out of the Arsenal Wenger handbook on how to talk up your team, so perhaps after ten years in his regular presence, Le Boss' [...]

Elneny the typhoon rolls in to town, but it’s the Ramsey/Coquelin/Cazorla conundrum that puzzles

I know we all rolled our eyes and manifested our delight of a signing by exhaling a big 'about time' when Mohamed Elneny was confirmed yesterday, but having listened to Arsène's video about the player too on the official site, I do wonder if he was the same as us. He readily accepted beginning the [...]

An Alexis precaution and a LANS flavoured cake

Arsène delivered an update on the status of the squads health yesterday and, to nobodies surprise, there wasn't really anything to update. Arteta, Rosicky and Alexis are the closest and none are available for the weekend. The real irritating one from that three is Alexis, but given Arsène mentioned that it was just precautionary, hopefully [...]

We’re doing the right things in January

As is always the way when you reach the middle part of a week in between fixtures, all seems to be relatively quiet in London Colney at the moment, which I have no real issue with to be honest. Last night The Management asked which day Arsenal are playing on this midweek, then seemed quite [...]

More of the same next year, Arsenal; Özil leads like Fabregas did

It's the last day of 2015 and as many people do, it's a good opportunity to look back on what has happened in people's lives, as well as what has happened at The Arsenal. It's hard to argue that the team haven't really been consistent over the course of the year. Sure, there have been [...]

Players feel the same boosts as us with transfers, but you need to get it right

It's all very quiet at the moment. Perhaps you would expect this though, given the fact we play on Monday, which is why we see only the occasional titbit of information from the official site. Today's informational advent calendar chocolate equivalent is Jack Wilshere for me (I say 'for me' because it was probably released [...]

Champions League malaise isn’t enough to keep me from Premier League excitement

This season is crazier than Will Ferrell, hepped up on goofballs, riding a unicycle the wrong way down a one-way street. Everything is weird and no more so can it be signified than the game I watched yesterday in which the current Champions lumbered their way around the pitch against a team who were relegation [...]

Legislating for a lack of creatives isn’t easy at Arsenal

As far as weekend's go, in terms of our result and in context of results for other teams around us, we can all be quite happy with our lot this Monday morning as I type. Liverpool, City, United and the Spuds all dropped points. Sure, Leicester kept up their winning habits, but let's let them [...]

No ifs, no buts, just three points please, Arsenal

Quite simply, this is a game in which Arsenal have to win, if we truly believe we have any shot at the title. Everyone's allowed a blip, it happens, but when the blip turns into a tidal wave of turgidness, then you're never getting near that shiny trinket with a gold crown on top. We've [...]

No news isn’t good news when it comes to Alexis and Santi

They'll be a press conference today, so I'll be fully expecting Arsène to stroll in, put his middle fingers up to the skies and declare that November can kiss his shiny white hide. After injuries and dropped points that really shouldn't have happened, he'll be keen to stress that we're still two from top spot [...]
