Solid, compact, counter – Arsenal’s gameplan against Man City

By |2017-11-04T08:57:13+00:00November 5th, 2017|Arsenal FC, Defence, Match Preview, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

Morning all, hope you're all feeling rather fantastic this morning? Or are you like me and not really looking forward to the prospect of playing the supposed 'champions elect' on their own turf this afternoon? Well actually, I'm more concerned with getting some pig inside of me, because i had a bit of an evening [...]

A disjointed Arsenal victory against Cologne

By |2017-09-15T08:16:31+01:00September 15th, 2017|Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, Europa League, gooners, Gunners, Match Review, Tactics|1 Comment

Before one delves in to the why's and wherefore's of yesterday's victory against Cologne, I suppose the most important thing to note is that Arsenal did indeed get the victory we needed, in the end. But by golly, wasn't it hard going for us, eh?  The night started off pretty grim before kick off anyway, [...]

Can Arsenal do it on a balmy August evening in Stoke on a Saturday?

By |2017-08-19T07:58:47+01:00August 19th, 2017|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, History, Match Preview, premier league, Tactics|1 Comment

Match day two for The Arsenal and it's that usually most feared of trips to Stoke that we have to intend with later on this evening. I think I speak for everyone when I say that this is one of those games that you just don't look forward to. I think it's because there's always [...]

Shiny new player – Clive Owen, with Ivan’s people carrier filling up more

Another day in to the summer off season and it's yet more transfer related news from Arsenal, but this time it's a juicy bit of 'acquisition' we can talk of and yes, I did the 'YouTube' thing on Kolasinac yesterday. I have no shame. He looks good though, doesn't he? Real good. A strong unit [...]

The stupidity of Kos

I didn't go to the game yesterday, on account of other prior arrangements and if I'm honest, there was part of me that was quite glad about that fact. Glad because whenever I go along to The Arsenal I do get a lot more emotionally invested than when I stay away from football and so [...]

City will want to exposure our full backs today

By |2017-05-19T19:51:05+01:00April 2nd, 2017|Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, gooners, Gunners, Match Preview, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

Victory today is the only option. A draw will only seem as though the team has further regressed from the target of Champions League football and personally, I suspect it will also mean we will have too much to do to take one of the four spots for next season. It doesn't even matter if [...]

Arsenal engage ‘PR transfer war chest’ mode

By |2017-03-22T07:38:14+00:00March 22nd, 2017|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, Arsene Wenger, gooners, Gunners, History|0 Comments

Arsène has apparently jetted off to France to 'consider his future', if you believe the noises by the gutter press, from yesterday. Apparently he wants to see if fans will tolerate another two years, so is assessing the gauge of sentiment, I read somewhere. I do love a bit of media revisionism you know. When [...]

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. [...]

Tetchy Arsène and tired media narrative

By |2017-05-19T20:07:08+01:00February 9th, 2017|Arsenal FC, Arsene Wenger, gooners, Gunners, premier league, press conference|0 Comments

So what news from the front line, aka the official site, ahead of this weekend's round of football? We'll certainly find out today at some stage as Arsène - clearly wanting the pain of a press conference out of the way as quickly as possible by doing it today - takes to the microphones to [...]

Arsène doesn’t help himself

By |2017-05-19T20:07:09+01:00February 2nd, 2017|Arsenal FC, Arsene Wenger, gooners, Gunners, History, premier league, Rant|0 Comments

I'm still struggling to properly rectify the decision-making of the manager this morning, after the debacle that was Tuesday night, but not really because of his team selection.  As I said yesterday, I could kind of understand why Giroud might start, but in hindsight he should have stuck with a pacey front three to unsettle [...]
