Palace preview: High tempo, slick passing and one final Alexis game?

Happy match day goners. But will it be come 5pm? Will we have something to smile about or will it be more exasperation caused by yet another display in which the selected XI in red shirts toil over their goalscoring attempts as Crystal Palace aim to be tough to break down and hit us quick [...]

Move the ball quicker tonight, Arsenal – Palace preview

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 [...]

Palace – Arsenal players’ silent revolt

As I listened to the chants of "you're not fit to wear the shirt" from our fans at the Palace ground in the away end, I asked the question to Ben - who has become somewhat of an Arsenal therapist in the last couple of seasons - is it me or is this like the [...]

Arsenal need to be wary of Palace’s counter

Just as I expected when I wrote my blog on Saturday morning, pretty much everybody above and below us in the Premier League won over the weekend, which means only victory tonight against Palace will see us tread water. It's a difficult situation to be in that's for sure. The opponents will also make it [...]

Arsene can end the speculation in a second

Core blimey, me 'n the Management had one of those "well that escalated quickly" evening, with the help of rum, gin, tonic, vodka and cranberry and Pinot Grigio Blush, last night. Not all together at the same time obviously, but by the taste in my mouth it kind of felt like it. Means I'm somewhat [...]

Rocky framework Arsenal can build on

By |2017-05-19T19:51:04+01:00April 7th, 2017|Arsenal FC, Arsene Wenger, Defence, gooners, Gunners, premier league, press conference, Tactics|0 Comments

I think we'll be seeing a press conference today, despite the fact that we don't play until Monday, so itll be interesting what Arsène makes of the weekend's action. I don't know about you but it does feel like in 2017 we seem to be playing more 'catch up' on games right at the end [...]

Welbeck’s timely return, when title aspirations hang on a knife-edge

If results go the way that I'd expect today, by the time we're all singing Auld Lang Syne at midnight, we could have a distance of 12 points to make up on Chelski to win the league before we play Palace tomorrow at 4pm. Sadly, I'm not full enough of Christmas/New Year hope that Stoke [...]

Mixed bag of injury news, as Arsenal start psychological recovery

It's still two days before the team play and quite frankly, the football couldn't come quickly enough, because it hasn't at all felt like a packed schedule so far. We've played one game in about two weeks. So I'm looking forward to seeing how we get on against Palace. Arsène gave an update on the [...]
