Theo replicating club for country, whilst Johnny-come-lately has the press fawning

By |2017-05-19T20:11:52+01:00October 10th, 2015|Arsenal, Attack, gooners, Gunners, Internationals|1 Comment

I Actually managed to sit through a whole 90 minutes of an England game last night, made all the more impressive by the fact that it was a dead rubber and only one Arsenal player was starting: Theo. Thankfully it was worth tuning in, just so that Theo could show Harry Kane what clinical finishing [...]

Walcott ends Rooney’s England career? Arsenal karma?

By |2015-10-08T08:03:41+01:00October 8th, 2015|Arsenal FC, Attack, gooners, Gunners, History, Internationals|2 Comments

Yesterday evening I wrote a bit of a flippant tweet that a year ago nobody would have expected Theo Walcott to be on the verge of ending Wayne Rooney's England career, but having heard from the man himself in the afternoon at the England training camp, I do wonder if he's got that outcome in [...]

Does Prickly Arsène have it in him?

By |2017-05-19T20:11:53+01:00October 3rd, 2015|analysis, Arsenal, Arsene Wenger, gooners, Gunners, premier league, press conference|2 Comments

Well, if it isn't the return of 'Prickly Arsène' in the press conference, who we hadn't seen since at least 2013 I'm sure? We all knew there'd be metaphorical blood spilt when Arsène went in front of the media coyotes, because they would be sniffing for blood and he looks very much like a wounded [...]

A change of approach for Arsenal against Olympiakos?

By |2015-09-29T07:38:08+01:00September 29th, 2015|Champions League, Formation, gooners, Gunners, Match Preview, Tactics|0 Comments

I hope that whatever team is chosen tonight, we see more energy and urgency than our last outing in this competition, because anything other than a win against Olympiakos would be nothing short of a disaster. It's only now, as we reach game week 2 of the Champions League, that we realise the importance of [...]

Initial Chelski thoughts: midfield success wins the game

By |2015-09-18T07:32:36+01:00September 18th, 2015|analysis, gooners, Gunners, midfield, premier league, press conference, Tactics|0 Comments

Apparently there's some sort of international tournament starting today. I'll be darned if I know what it is, because my gaze is locked firmly on what happens at London Colney today and then Stamford Bridge tomorrow. Oddly, there hasn't been any team news to come out from yesterday like there normally is, so I'm guessing [...]

Complacency costs careless Arsenal

In yesterday's blog I spoke about how the start of the Champions League proper yesterday evening felt like the start of the new season, full of hope and expectation, with all of the positivity that comes with it. So isn't it just the most 'Arsenal' thing to do to go and repeat the same mistakes [...]

Rotation against the Zagrebians is a good thing

So it's the first game of our Champions League campaign for this season and I have to say, it feels nice not having to say that in August, knowing that we are going through a two legged affair just to progress to the group stages proper. But before I go on about The Arsenal, I [...]

Can Mesut build a legacy and can Jack stay fit?

Howdy fellas and ladies, hope you're feeling fine and dandy on a Tuesday, wherever you may roam.  Let's start today with some words about Mesut. Mainly because I like talking about him. The way he plays football is effortless and ever since we signed him, whenever there's an article or an interview with him, I [...]

Stoke review: Sometimes you can’t win, even when you do

By |2015-09-13T09:27:18+01:00September 13th, 2015|analysis, Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsene Wenger, Attack, gooners, Gunners, Match Review, premier league|2 Comments

Sometimes it doesn't matter what you do, you're never going to win, are you?  Yesterday I witnessed an Arsenal team absolutely dismantle Stoke City, yet when the Match of the Day team had their attempt at 'analysis', it seemed like they were giving a little more of a dig than praise for the performance. The [...]
