Frustration and relief – the North London Derby

What on earth do you make of that game yesterday? I don't even know where to start if I'm honest. I don't k is whether to express relief that the team managed to salvage a draw, or frustration that we looked so leggy and at times disinterested, or at least a little clueless and out [...]

Munich: a steep hill to climb, but it’s only a hill, right?

This feels like an incredibly steep hill for the team to climb tonight. In fact, whilst not impossible, it does feel like the kind of bill that you'd probably walk around if you had the chance.  Bayern Munich on their own patch are a formidable opponent to say the least, but given that we have [...]

Grinding out a flattering result – lovely

I watched yesterday's game through an iPhone stream at my parents house and if I'm completely honest, had I not have watched it at all and just seen the Match of the Day highlights, I'd probably have been a lot less stressed. But what I witnessed yesterday felt like something I haven't seen for about [...]

Do we Arsenal fans demand more tactical analysis than we used to?

That was a decent enough weekend we've just had, by my reckoning, don't you think? The Manchester derby was the only real concern for us and as the two sides cancelled each other out, it ensured that we are level on points with a City side who after five games, were going to walk the [...]

Özil again inspirational in dispatching of Everton

Well now, none of us truly believed that a game at home against Everton, did we? I mean this is The Arsenal, we never make it easy for ourselves, so we were always going to have a bit of nail biting that needed to be done.  It was a cagey affair from the off. From [...]

Everton preview: the game will be won out wide

Hello again my fellow Arsenal friends. I hope this Saturday finds you well? Are you excited for today's game? I know I am. I'm excited because Arsenal currently have their tails up and performances have been very good both defensively and offensively of late. We'll need to have another very high level of intensity and [...]

Hindsight aside, Arsenal were brilliant and now in form

I love hindsight. It offers so much and asks so little. It is a wonderful gift and a soothing relaxant after an evening of the 'now' can build such tension. Hindsight has allowed me to utter such a phrase: What a glorious night of football under the floodlights. Hindsight, as well as the bundled 'header' [...]

Malaise for many, but Champions League success still burns for this Arsenal fan

By |2017-05-19T20:11:51+01:00October 20th, 2015|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Champions League, gooners, Gunners, Match Preview, press conference, Tactics|0 Comments

A night under the lights to save our Champions League season against the German champions and recent history tormentors. What more could you ask for on a random Tuesday in October? It wasn't meant to be this way. We were supposed to have collected six points and be looking like a draw in one of [...]

Majestic Mesut, awesome Aaron and super Sanchez down Watford

By |2017-05-19T20:11:51+01:00October 18th, 2015|Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, Match Review, premier league, soccer|0 Comments

Well didn't that all go according to plan, eh?  As I suspected yesterday, Watford approached the game with the caution and solidity that you'd expect from a newly promoted side with a reputation building for compact defending and long balls to bring out of defence, so perhaps it was inevitable that the first half was [...]

Expect frustration at Watford, but we need to start a title run now

The one positive I will say that comes out of the international breaks that punctuate each season, is that when an Arsenal match day comes around, you learn to appreciate it more. That's how I'm feeling today, with the Watford game just hours away, knowing that soon I'll get the excited feeling of an Arsenal [...]
