Swansea away: we used to be beautifully flawed, now we’re just flawed

I was going to start today by saying something like "where do I even start?" but this morning after yet another pathetic Arsenal display - the type of away display performance we've seen all season from this ailing team - I think I'll just throw up some of the utterly embarrassing stats that I've seen [...]

Swansea preview: desperate for an early goal

The build up to tonight's league encounter with Swansea may be dominated by a certain player coming in from Dortmund and a certain handsome Arsenal player being an option for that most horrid of clubs Chelski, but I'm preferring to focus on the reason we are here today, which is the stuff that's played on [...]

The waiting game: Aubameyang

Sometimes football can be as predictable as TV soap operas can't it? Particularly football's equivalent of the gutter trash storylines, which are usually the most sleazy in January and the summer months. So in what is this winters latest plot we saw the development late last night that most of us must have expected following [...]

Clever Dortmund put it all on Arsenal and Ivan

I suspected there might be a little bit of noise one way or the other yesterday - with regards to the Aubameyang situation - especially as Dortmund we're playing Freiburg. The first bit of noise came from the team selection and with Auba in from the start it caused some to go into overdrive panic [...]

The new League Cup approach – will it work tonight?

I find tonights League Cup encounter with Chelski an intriguing one. A competition that Arsène has historically been such an advocate of blooding young players in, even to the extent of getting to a final and prioritising development over giving the club the best possibility of a trophy, has this season seen a change of [...]

Mkhi/Alexis: lose a maverick, gain a team player

Yesterday the protracted saga of Alexis Sanchez leaving the Arsenal - which let's not forget has gone on for essentially a year since it became clear he wasn't interested in signing a new deal - was concluded and I for one am glad that the 'saga' in itself is over. And in return Arsenal went [...]

Sven and Ivan share an iPod, whilst Alexis’ exit means the team must flourish

It's the start of a new working week for me, but by the looks of things Ivan and Sven Mislintat got theirs going a day early, having been snapped by Bild in Germany picking up some luggage from a car from what was supposed to be Aubameyang's silver ride; I'm not sure whether it's an [...]

The majesty of Özil putting Palace to the sword

If you're going to describe the perfect start to a football match then you'd pretty much just re-run the opening 30 minutes of yesterday's win against Crystal Palace. It was goals, goals, goals. And I loved it. The nerves were there for all to see pre match and as I sunk a few pints round [...]
