Dennis Saurez gave interview saying that he was not even 50% fit after 16 days at Arsenal. One game sticks in my head, I think it was Man City away we were 2-3 down with 15 mins to go. Ozil was on the bench ( i thought he was coming on @ halftime but stayed […]

    Arsene and Jose had an interesting chat on Saturday in their CL pundit work or BEIN sport, where they, mostly Arsene, talked about a team’s identity, it was about Liverpool and Spurs, but it touched on the wider issue. Both went for a Liverpool win, cos Liverpool has a team identity, “you know […]

  As the final whistle sounded in Baku, it brought an end to Arsenal’s first season of the post Wenger era. A European final, even one where the result didn’t go our way, does not indicate a bad season, and certainly not a bad start for a new coach. But looking back, this should count […]

You know … at different stages during the course of this season a fixture was labelled “the most important game of the season”, but that came and went as there was always the next one. Tonight though, for Arsenal: THIS IS IT. Some may even say the most important game of the Emirates era. Good […]

But before all that excitement… Good day one and all. Arsenal is at […]

    That was fun, what a great result, performance and effort. Players that only yesterday were deadwood, left by Wenger, put on a show of great attacking skill, commitment and heart. Odd that? Until Lacazette and Aubameyang teamed up to score a sensational goal, we were very much under the cosh, one nil down […]

The past two days has been absolute mental as we saw a change in European football’s landscape. With focus now shifting to the lesser continental competition I think there may be added pressure on both London sides to make it an all English affair in Baku. Good day one and all. Arsenal is in Spain […]

    A comment worthy of exposure by Blogger 1886   “I say that I’ve got bags of years of supporting Arsenal. So, I am ‘all right’ for a supporter? However, there’s a truth: in what’s supposed to be this seventeen-year period, my footballing knowledge has been hardly ever improved. I am often lazy in […]
