A Stroll In The Villa Park

Great, so I’m a genius again … I watched the game on a Spanish stream. All I could make out were the players’ names.  This was quite an eye opener.  I had to make my own mind up how we were playing. It was up to me to see how the team was set up […]

Villa Will Be Very Hard

A guest post from Andrew @anicoll5   Good morning Fellow Positivistas from a grey East Anglia morning with Autumn firmly camped across the land. By land and sea, by air and digital pulse, our thoughts turn to Villa Park today. Even with the Holte End spoiled by seating, still a proper football ground full of […]

Unlucky Arsenal Get A Lucky Draw (You what??)

I love watching a good game of football, and thats exactly what The Arsenal and Manchester City(the league champions by the way) served up to us yesterday. Am I disappointed we didn’t win ? Yes, I always am. Am I disappointed with our performance? Hell no, I thought we were fantastic. I really don’t understand […]

Will The Arsenal Test The Champions?

It’s been a decent fixture in recent years for the Arsenal. Some of the City players, including their captain, have said that Arsenal are the best team they’ve faced in the PL in recent seasons, and they should know. I’m happy to agree. In the wider media the same old trolls are trolling the Arsenal […]

A Fan’s Road To Arsenal

A guest post from Out For A Corner   When people think of football, not many think of Tower Records in Piccadilly Circus, but on a cold, spring morning in 1988, it was the only place to be. Or, more accurately, it was the only place where tickets for the upcoming Littlewoods Cup Final were […]

Arsenal v The Parked Bus

A guest post from Sensational Arsenal.   Three games into the premier league, we already came across two teams defending resolutely and in numbers. Pretty soon we are going to come up against the Chelsea bus too. So, how do we crack such teams that we are no doubt going to encounter frequently throughout this […]

Looking In And Out Of Arsenal’s Window

There we have it then, the window is firmly shut. Looking in through the window of summer 2014 I can see a nice collection of players have been acquired for our future entertainment. We have some genuine competition for the goalkeeping position in David Ospina. He may or may not be better than Fabianski but […]

Arsenal Draw Again – But That’s Not The Half Of It!

Arsenal Draw Again – But That’s Not The Half Of It!

So Arsenal drop yet more points in games they should be winning. This, aside from transfer matters, was the message for many observers, of the whole weekend. And yet time and again, when Arsenal results are said to disappoint, my personal disappointment, (aside from the points that have been dropped), tends to rest heavily on […]

Arsenal In Leicester

Bergkamp. The Invincibles. Special memories.  It’s been a while since we have seen Leicester City and Emile Heskey. What can we expect to see? Because I am a little bit ignorant I don’t really know. They dominated the second tier last year with what looked like a settled team. So, at a fair guess they’ll […]

In Defence Of Aaron Ramsey (does he need defending?)

A guest post by Kelly Woods  @kmwoods02   Aaron Ramsey had his worst game in 12 months against Everton. He tried too hard. He forced things. Yes, he scored a goal, but don’t miss the fact that his performance was poor. And speaking of goals, I’m worried that he’s publicly admitted that he set himself a […]
