A weary Arsenal fans blog

By |2017-05-19T19:51:08+01:00March 5th, 2017|analysis, Arsenal FC, Arsene Wenger, Match Review, premier league, Rant|9 Comments

What can be said this morning that hasn't already been said repeatedly of late? I almost don't want to bother writing today's blog. The analysis will sound alarmingly familiar and my tone will be as weary as an Arsenal fan could feel this morning. I'm tired of this. I'm tired of seeing this Arsenal team [...]

Arsenal must counter Liverpool’s high press

This will be a really tough game today. Mark my words. Don't believe anything you read that suggests that Liverpool's woeful 2017 form will give us hope, because I certainly am not and I fully expect them to be more up for it, than ever before. I watched the Liverpool/Tottenham game at Anfield a couple [...]

Arsenal haven’t counter-punched for years

On a WhatsApp Arsenal group I'm part of there was a discussion yesterday about whether Liverpool getting a tonking by Leicester - who hadn't scored in 2017 before yesterday - would be a good thing for Arsenal or not. Good question, and not one we'll know until we rock up at Anfield next Saturday evening. [...]

We’ve got one hand left to play at Arsenal

Well as expected, Chelski scanned their way to another win, Stoke bent over and presented themselves for crayon-munching Kane to provide them with a metaphorical meat pounding and to complete the faecal matter infused flavour of the weekend, United completely skanked a Southampton team that were the better team throughout. Tonight we can complete the [...]

Take Eek over Apathy with new Arsenal manager

Morning. I've woken up to a feeling that I thought I wouldn't get for at least another couple of days. I'm over the Bayern defeat already.  Perhaps it's because I always knew we weren't good enough. Perhaps it's because I vented my spleen on my blog yesterday. Perhaps I'm just so bored with Arsenal I [...]

Abject Arsenal players are a disgrace to the shirt

I am appalled. I am appalled at the travesty of a performance that we witnessed yesterday. In Championship Manager they used to have a saying which involved describing you team as 'running out of superlatives to describe'. What is the exact opposite of that? What is the antithesis of running out of nice things to [...]

This is it for Arsenal – black or white, win or bust

The life of an Arsenal fan is a life which is lived on an emotional rollercoaster. It's like being in the Grand old Duke of York's army; when we're up we're up, then when we're down we're really down.  On Wednesday morning, having been 'up' since Sunday, we were promptly marched down, which given to [...]

Selection quandaries for Arsenal against Watford

Well how about that for an FA Cup draw, eh? Sutton from the conference up against Arsenal from the Premier League, with a little bit more spice added to the tie with the news that the Nando's lover himself, Craig Eastmond, plays for Sutton and will probably be starting in their side to play us [...]

Relief after disbelief against Burnley

It's hard to properly analyse a game like yesterday. Quite often I tend to jot down some post-match thoughts that tend to focus on Arsenal being a) rather quite good, or b) rather quite pants. So often it's the result that has such an important impact on my (and I suspect yours too) thoughts on [...]
