There is no silver bullet for Arsenal Football Club

Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday. We are less than a week away from it all being over and I am starting to get excited. The thought of three months away from having to shout at my TV because young men in their 20s and 30s can't make me happy on a football pitch makes [...]

A mid table boring performance from a mid table boring Arsenal

Ahh man that was boring to watch last night. I tweeted that Arsenal are an ugly team with a handsome manager and last night's 0-0 snoozefest against Crystal Palace certainly felt like it was backed up by an Arsenal team so lacking in creative spark that you wondered if we were actually watching a pre [...]

Arsenal must crack the tough Crystal Palace nut

It's Crystal Palace at home today and it is the type of game that four or five years ago I'd be pretty confident about us getting a win. But last season and this has pretty much dented any of that "we're The Arsenal, we win this game today" mindset that I had developed over a [...]

Elneny to Sabitzer: How Arsenal’s style needs to evolve with player recruitment

Morning folks. Another Monday in lockdown. It's a countdown to the Palace game on Thursday and as you'd probably expect given the game is four days away, which means most people arse still worrying themselves with transfer noises, which I too am not immune to. We've seen the Buendia stuff come and go, there's been [...]

Should Arsenal be happy with a point in mitigating circumstances?

Morning from a bright but cold Belfast. It's a weekend away for the wife's birthday and so yesterday's lunchtime kick off and the fact we were out and about meant I didn't actually get to watch the game in full yesterday, but I followed what was happening and saw a few of the key moments [...]

Arsenal need to be compact between the lines to beat Crystal Palace

Morning folks from a relatively wet Belfast, in which I'm treating The Management to a birthday weekend away to see the giant's causeway. It means I'm not sure if I'll get time to watch The Arsenal but I'll have to see if I can find a pub to watch it in at some stage I'm [...]

I believe Arteta and his ‘like a new signing’ rhetoric

By |2020-01-10T09:57:23+00:00January 10th, 2020|Arsenal Manager, Arsenal Transfers, Mikel Arteta, premier league, press conference|2 Comments

Morning folks - happy Friday n'all that jazz. Right, let's get down to it, because it was press conference Thursday yesterday and he addressed the assembled media. The good news is that the first thing he said was that he's given a few more ideas to the players following a first full week of training [...]

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 [...]
