I loved the fact we got an Arsenal press conference yesterday. The day after the England game, English/Arsenal fans licking their wounds, then BAM! We get his with the reminder that for 99% of our lives we don't even watch international football. It was the timely reminder of where the true love and loyalties reside [...]
Bit of a provocative blog title today, I know, but it's something I've been thinking of for a while since the Emery appointment was announced. We've spent years being led to believe that it's Arsène's laissez-faire attitude to team structure, to specific and detailed instructions, that have been an issue for these players. We knew [...]
This will probably be a short one today because there's little going on in the Arsenal world. Hopefully this is because Unai is already in a darkened room trying frantically to work out how the heck he's going to turn Shokdran into a world class defender and how he's going to help Iwobi to learn [...]
It all seems to be drawing towards the inevitable conclusion that Mr Perfect Hair himself is going to be our next boss and what I'm listening to and reading about seems to be about how he's not as 'Mr Nice' as everyone keeps portraying. It does seem funny that all of this noise is coming [...]
Happy Friday, the first of the post-Wenger reign, and yesterday some footage emerged from Le Olde Boss from his usual media mouthpiece BeIn sports about who might succeed him and he had his say on Arteta as the likely candidate. I've watched this interview a couple of times now and when you see what he's [...]
I have some worrying concerns about how Sven is going about picking his choices for new Arsenal players. Perhaps it’s unfounded...
The final home game of Arsène Wenger's reign is today and I'm sure it will be an emotional one. It'll certainly be for the manager and I'm sure he'll shed a tear or two. For me, I'm just sad that a once great manager is having his Arsenal career peter out like it is going [...]
In many ways the way in which we went out of the tie against Atletico was emblematic of the final years of Arsène's reign as manager. Defensively not at the races, offensively not quite potent enough, with players that at times look like they were trying but ultimately the team just wasn't good enough. Weirdly [...]
With little actual team news coming out at the moment (although I expect there to be something today that we'll see from the manager) there's little to start speculating about tomorrow night's game. Suffice to say that it's the biggest one of the season and there is naturally anticipation, but the main topic of conversation [...]
And so here we are my friends. Potentially the last of two 'big games' that Arsène Wenger May face as Arsenal manager. The league is done. It's a procession towards the final stages of his tenure because we have nothing left to play for domestically. It all boils down to Atletico Madrid home and away. [...]
