Team takes shape tonight – with or without Rambo

I think this'll be an interesting game this evening against Chelski. Yes it's a pre season friendly. Yes it means little in the grand scheme of things. And yes the players are still adapting to life under Emery. But this will be a good opportunity for us to see what sort of side is taking [...]

Arsenal kids show the potential is there

Football can be a weird old sport to be obsessed in. I mean, when you find yourself feeling encouraged despite a sucker-punched injury time goal against United away at Old Trafford, compared to a 1-1 draw at home just three days earlier that left you stewing, it just feels odd. Yet that's my feeling this [...]

Arsenal getting attack right, defence wrong, against Southampton

By |2018-04-09T08:13:35+01:00April 9th, 2018|Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, gooners, Gunners, Match Review, premier league|1 Comment

Happy Monday folks. It's a wet and drizzly one in West London and has pretty much been like that since Saturday but I'll not let that get me down. After all Arsenal notched another win, got three more goals, we saw Aubameyang get on the score sheet yet again, Welbeck even notched a few, so [...]

Pochettino’s latest ploy and the Nelson conundrum for Arsenal

By |2018-03-22T07:40:27+00:00March 22nd, 2018|Arsenal FC, contracts, gooners, Gunners, premier league|0 Comments

Last night I had a dream about the Tiny Totts. I know, more like a nightmare, but it was to do with a new tactic that Pochettino has adopted. A cunning and devious tactic that yet again flouted the rules of football. You see, not content with clearly instructed his teams to cheat by diving [...]

Some stepping up needed from Welbz and other rotated players

Match day for The Arsenal again and despite the fact it's the closest you could get to a dead rubber without actually being a dead rubber, I'm still excited to be going along to see The Arsenal play a game, having not seen one live in the flesh for nearly three weeks now. The opposition [...]

Appreciating many games and hoping for fresh faces tomorrow

Are we wearing red shorts, aren't we wearing red shorts? Does it really matter? This is the kind of news that you get as an Arsenal fan when everything else dries up because we haven't played for over a week and it occurs to me this morning that perhaps we are lucky, because with European [...]

Happy despite an Arsenal defeat – feels weird

I don't know about you but last night's game against FC Köln felt weird. It was weird because we lost, yet ultimately there was relief, because we still topped the group to ensure that the game against BATE in a couple of weeks is as meaningless as it would have been had we won or [...]

Options for Arsenal on ‘Match Day B’ vs Koln

Match day today, although given it's featuring an Arsenal B team, perhaps games like the one this evening against F.C. Koln should be renamed 'Match Day B'? It's a curious one, is today's game, because we're up against a German side who are on their own turf. It's also a team who gave us a [...]

Loving rotation as Norwich come to town

By |2017-10-24T08:11:22+01:00October 24th, 2017|Arsenal FC, Attack, Defence, gooners, Gunners, League Cup, Match Preview|0 Comments

Norwich at home this evening provides yet another game with which Arsène can rotate his squad and I have to say, with no sense of irony or sarcasm, that I’m enjoying the level of rotation we’re seeing this season from Arsenal. Perhaps it’s because I am a child of the Championship Manager and latterly Football [...]
