This Arsenal team is REALLY good. Like, REALLY good you know. I was proper nervous about yesterday. Brighton have lost one game at home all season. Liverpool could only manage a draw. The Scum got beat there. Only West Ham have picked up maximum points at the Amex and even that was a smash and grab [...]
As I and many others predicted in the build up to this match, there would be no basketball-style game, leading to goals galore. Instead, this was every bit the chess match, played between two teams who are stylistically even matched and two managers who follow similar footballing philosophies. There was the inevitable chiding online from [...]
In the end, the job was done, three points were secured and The Arsenal finished the evening top of the table, with the ability to watch the Liverpool v City game without thinking that we'd fluffed our chances this weekend. But it could have been very different indeed, had Kai Havertz not stepped in to [...]
Yesterday I leaned in to the whole "let's just get the win and not get carried away with ourselves talking up goal difference, eh?" approach, thinking that I didn't want to tempt fate and have some pre game arrogance see us lose to a pretty bad Sheffield United game. How wrong I was. Apparently you [...]
That was a lot of fun yesterday, wasn’t it? We wanted revenge, we came for revenge, we got revenge. There was no ‘desgracia’ yesterday at The Emirates, because an excellent Arsenal team dispatched a shaky Newcastle team, leaving the home fans once again in dreamland as chants of “who put the ball in the Geordie’s [...]
That was a tough one to take in the end and I don't think I'm the only Arsenal fan that feels a little shell shocked by the way we lost that game away to Porto last night in the Champions League. Like, I'm not even angry or ready to pile in on the team, I'm [...]
Well this is all getting rather fun at the moment, isn't it? Arsenal romped to yet another hammering of an opponent and much like last weekend it was a claret and blue clad side who fell to our boys in fluorescent yellow. Arteta had spoken about the return of some players from injury in his [...]
Well what a result that was for The Arsenal yesterday, eh? It was a performance that had everything: control, goals, returning player narratives, screamers, ole's from the away fans, the lot. If you ask me what the perfect away day looks like, it would be what those Arsenal players delivered at the London Stadium in [...]
Morning Gooners - and a happy Monday to you all! It's always a lovely Monday blog to write when the team has won a big game against a close rival to you in the league. Even though the sun isn't shining here in London, if you could see it through the clouds, you'd know that [...]
When I penned my thoughts yesterday morning about how the game would be another difficult to break down Forest side, that we’d be up against a team who wanted to rapid transition counter and a side that would want us to have the ball, I don’t think I envisioned a first half that was quite [...]
