FA Cup countdown begins – an analysis of Arsenal's key decisions

It's Friday, the week has nearly met its maker, but more importantly we're less than 24 hours until FA Cup final Matchday. Much like when Arsène said that he still gets the same buzz as last year and every other time we've won a trophy under his tenure, the cup tomorrow feels as exciting and [...]

United review: a better response to previous years

Yesterday's proverbial 'game of two halves' gave us just what we needed - enough to effectively secure third on Wednesday night with one of two outcomes - but more importantly, showed a bit more resilience than I have seen in an Arsenal team at Old Trafford for a long time, FA Cup game a couple [...]

Poor tactically and defensively

After the winning streak that we've had in the last couple months, I find myself somewhat at a difficult place, because for all the criticism that I want to give the manager for what I believe we're totally the wrong tactics to deploy against a Swansea team who came for a point and went home [...]

Swansea preview: negate a high press and keep an eye out wide

Liverpool's draw with Chelski mathematically secured the top four for us yesterday, but on a day where QPR were supposed to be giving it the last hurrah by at least holding Momeychester City to a draw at he Etihad, I was expecting better than a 6-0 thrashing. For us, in terms of trying to get [...]

We must maintain competition in the Arsenal squad

It's Election Day here in the UK and with most of the country can't honestly tell the difference between the parties duking it out, the winner of this popularity contest will probably be the person with the greatest personality.  Arsène Wenger for President people. It's quiet on the Arsenal front. Quieter than a fox in [...]

Exploit the width against Hull's formation

Today the good lord Bergkamp could see fit to bless upon us the day of St Totteringham, in which we celebrate the mathematical certainty that Arsenal will finish above the other team in North London in the Premier League. Ideally a draw yesterday coupled with an Arsenal win would have made this weekend just about as good [...]

Hull touch, Welbeck settled and more balance needed

I didn't watch the game between Hull and Liverpool last night, only checking in this morning to find that the scousers end of season collapse is now in full swing, but that was a bit of a touch for us wasn't it?  In more ways than one, actually, because victory over Liverpool gives Hull a [...]

Context more frustrating than the result

On the face of it, with the other results which all went in our favour this weekend barring Moneychester City, a draw against the eventual champions isn't the worst result in the world. However, as I find myself composing my thoughts the morning after the game, I can't help but be somewhat frustrated with the [...]

Gearing up for next season by overcoming the final psychological barrier

Happy Friday to you and it's a Friday in which Arsène's presser has tale easy taken place, he's given us plenty to talk about, so let's get to it. First and foremost, the team news, in which the only real doubt from last weekend is Big Per. I haven't fully re-watched all of the semi-final [...]
