The Xhaka situation shows a spineless side to Emery

It's Tuesday morning and as I speak there has been no statement from Granit Xhaka it his 'people', after his public display of displeasure at The Arsenal fans on Sunday, with plenty of people coming out and declaring that they want him to front up and say 'sorry' for his outburst. Last night we spoke [...]

Poor performances all round becoming the norm – Palace profit

So much to talk about this morning! Unfortunately, very little is positive, so whilst I'm not sure I'll get through everything in this tube journey on my way to work, I'll give it my best shot. The performanceWas turgid. Again. We got ourselves into a commanding position with two goals in the first ten minutes [...]

Fearing Crystal Palace at home – what have we become?

I wouldn't say that I'm confident ahead of Arsenal matches at the Emirates. There's always usually the butterflies and when I get into the ground the excitement builds. But I'm never overly confident. But a game like Crystal Palace at home used to be one of those where I'd be thinking "of course we can [...]

A shuffle for tonight’s game for Emery to expunge some of Monday’s anger

Unai's press conference yesterday saw him come out swinging with regards to criticism of him, his tactics and his team selection on Monday night. The good news for him is that there's a game this evening which gives him the opportunity to at least a little bit put the Sheffield United debacle behind his team [...]

Granit’s Bullsh*t, Arsenal’s Bullsh*t, Emery’s Bullsh*t

Granit Xhaka thinks that what Patrice Evra said on Monday night football was 'bullshit'. I think the performance of him and his teammates was bullshit. I think the energy, intensity and structure of the team on Monday was bullshit. I think the side selection and tactical set up against a newly promoted team was bullshit. [...]

Is Emery the new Bruce Rioch? Sheffield United reaction

I was 13 years old when Bruce Rioch had his solitary season in charge of The Arsenal. He had David Platt, Dennis Bergkamp, the back four that had won leagues, an Ian Wright in his prime and Paul Merson all able to do the business for him. Yet we finished fifth and just scraped in [...]

Grinding out a difficult result against Sheffield United – what we hope is in store for The Arsenal

Finally, match day is upon us, having had to wait what feels like an eternity for The Arsenal to arrive after a particularly draggy international break. It's a trip up to Sheffield United and for those of you with memories long enough, that 2006 defeat at Bramall Lane will probably feel a little fresher than [...]

VAR – pointless and run by the same incompetent refs we’ve seen for years

By |2019-10-20T11:03:24+01:00October 20th, 2019|Arsenal, gooners, Gunners, premier league, Rant|0 Comments

I watched Match of the Day last night and despite rarely agreeing with Alan Shearer, I couldn't help but thoroughly nod my head in agreement with his utter disdain at the decision making for the Watford v Totts game, because once again this season VAR wasn't used properly and the whole world could see just [...]

Luiz sentiment is appreciated, but the reality is very different for Arsenal’s title bid

A Saturday welcome I bid you my friends. Sadly it's one without The Arsenal but I guess it is what it is and we have to contend ourselves with a weekend of supporting every other team that our rivals play. So it's Newcastle and Watford that we'll be hoping to do something special today. And [...]

Returning player boost, plus one to come out from the cold?

WE HAVE SOME ARSENAL FIRST TEAM CONTENT PEOPLE!! Thank frigg for that, because that last international break was really getting on my wick. You know how sometimes these breaks can go quite quickly? No, me either, because that one get long. Probably longer than the others. It was maddening. But Unai did his "Good afternoon" [...]
