A bizarre victory against Swansea, but a victory nonetheless

Well lads and lasses, I don't know about you, but I have absolutely no idea what to make of yesterday's game. I don't know if I should be a little worried about the way in which we handed Swansea a few lifelines, or happy about the fact that at times we were breathtaking and ultimately [...]

Ghosts of Swansea past need to be erased for title belief

It's match day! Hoorah! Proper football is finally back! Yippee!  As you can tell, I'm rather excited that Arsenal are back in action today, after what has felt like the longest interlull in a long, long, time. It's Swansea at home for a three o'clock kick off and whilst I can't be there to see [...]

It’s time to say goodbye – in more way than one

They say it's always darkest before dawn. Well, as Arsenal fans this morning, we'd love to know just how much more darker it's going to get, because quite frankly it's pretty bleak at the moment. Bleak. That sounds like a haven right now. A Mecca. A dream in which there appears to be a modicum [...]

Arsenal. Swansea. The title. Do the players want it?

With the mood decidedly (and understandably) sour since the weekend's debacle against FC Youth of Manchester, tonight represents what Arsène would call an opportunity to show our 'fight' and 'mental strength' against a battling Seansea side that are looking closely towards movements at the bottom of the table.  For Arsenal it's a shot at recovery, [...]

Swansea away: stifle their counter and stop supply to the wingers

I don't like this particular fixture that we've got today. It was this same fixture about this time last year that I was almost banned from watching The Arsenal with family members around, because of the profanities that I was firing in the direction of the flat screen, as everybody was around celebrating my birthday. [...]

Arsene gives clarity on wing thinking

The two bits of key news that came out yesterday included a bit of a blow, injury wise, as well as a bit of clarity on where Le Boss' mindset is with regards to who will occupy the right-wing spot for the immediate future given our lengthy injury list. Firstly, the injuries, which are a bitter [...]

Players out with positive responses

The phrase 'let your football do the talking' has never been more obvious than after a defeat like Monday's one to Swansea, because the website is littered with post match fallout from Wenger, Wilshere and Mertesacker. It's kind of funny actually, because in the last six weeks or so there's been practically nothing from the [...]

Poor tactically and defensively

After the winning streak that we've had in the last couple months, I find myself somewhat at a difficult place, because for all the criticism that I want to give the manager for what I believe we're totally the wrong tactics to deploy against a Swansea team who came for a point and went home [...]

Swansea preview: negate a high press and keep an eye out wide

Liverpool's draw with Chelski mathematically secured the top four for us yesterday, but on a day where QPR were supposed to be giving it the last hurrah by at least holding Momeychester City to a draw at he Etihad, I was expecting better than a 6-0 thrashing. For us, in terms of trying to get [...]
