Morning fellow goners and, after a few days away from ye olde blogging, I thought i'd pull my rapidly expanding carcass out of bed and do a bit of a match preview. So It's Crystal Palace today and if ever there was a performance that stands out as the real arse-end of 2017 for Arsenal it was [...]

Are Arsenal two poor Christmas performances away from experimenting?

By |2017-12-24T09:26:40+00:00December 24th, 2017|Arsenal FC, Arsene Wenger, Europa League, gooners, Gunners, Rant, Transfers|0 Comments

Happy Christmas Eve to those of you that are celebrating it today. Hopefully it is a good one for you and you can make merry with whomever you wish. Personally, it's a delightful time of the year to spend with family and after such a disappointing display by the players on Friday evening, it's a [...]

Arsenal have lessons to learn to beat Liverpool

This is going to be hard tonight. Make no mistake about it. People can talk about Liverpool's frailties, about how Klopp doesn't seem to know how to set up a decent Liverpool defence, but this will test our Arsenal team significantly tonight. Defensively. Liverpool have a glut of players in form and plenty who know [...]

Three points, but Arsenal are still struggling for cohesion

Happy Sunday folks, hope you're all gravy, especially after a Saturday in which three points for the Arsenal were had? It felt like a bit of a slog though, didn't it? A win is a win is a win, but we made it feel a little bit harder than it should have been, as Newcastle [...]

Newcastle preview: Second half wearing down could be key

After two disappointing away performances, today nothing else than victory at home over Newcastle must be accepted by the players, because this collective need to up their game over the festive period and that starts now. We all know the troubles on the road. We know how teams have been better and we've generally been [...]

Arsène spin machine dial turned to max today?

By |2017-12-15T07:57:42+00:00December 15th, 2017|Arsenal FC, Arsene Wenger, gooners, Gunners, injuries, premier league, press conference|0 Comments

Friday is press conference day today and we'll get an Arsène Wenger masterclass in deflection today I suspect. After all, his team have been pretty blunted way from home all season and as a result we've never really broken into any form of any real meaning. But tomorrow provides an opportunity to pick up points [...]

Dire defensive displays will derail Arsenal’s season

We've got to all be honest with ourselves here: this team is probably going to fall away from even challenging from the top four if we continue to put in performances away from home like yesterday. Giroud's late flick in on 88 minutes may have taken some of the stink of the performance away, but [...]

Mustafi’s absence could be an issue for Xhaka – Southampton v Arsenal preview

I've awoken this morning to snow. It really is quite magical this time of year and London is white with it. In a way I'm glad we don't have a home game because getting to the Emirates on the Met Line today could be an absolute nightmare. But it's an away day and for many [...]

Arsenal to open up the festive cheer against United?

By |2017-12-02T09:45:58+00:00December 2nd, 2017|Arsenal FC, Match Preview, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

Yesterday we hit December, which means I can officially go FULL CHRISTMAS CHEER, starting yesterday with the decorations going up in the house and Home Alone on in the background. I love this time of year. Everyone seems to be much happier. So what I - and by extension you - could really do without, [...]
