Unai Emery shows willingness to gamble with decision to let Jack Wilshere leave Arsenal
If there is one accusation that cannot be levelled at new Gunners boss Unai Emery it is a lack of resolve. Removing Colin Lewin, Boro Primorac, and Jens Lehman from the coaching and backroom staff is one thing, but allowing Jack Wilshere to move on (effectively telling him he wasn’t key to his future plans) … Continue reading Unai Emery shows willingness to gamble with decision to let Jack Wilshere leave Arsenal
Let’s end the Arsene-era with a win and begin Arsenal’s next chapter with the ghost of 2018 laid to rest
Sunday’s trip to Huddersfield carries with it far greater importance for Arsenal than many have given it credit for. Arsene Wenger’s final game in charge at the club after 22 years will be the focus of the match, and rightly so, but the reality is that the Gunners need to take at least a point … Continue reading Let’s end the Arsene-era with a win and begin Arsenal’s next chapter with the ghost of 2018 laid to rest
A worrying lack of perspective from fans but plenty to be proud of in Arsenal’s defeat at Madrid
Much of the reaction to Arsenal’s defeat at Atheltico Madrid has been unnecessarily spiteful and wholly without perspective. I was as disappointed as any fan that the Gunners couldn’t find a way to get past Diego Simeone’s side on Thursday, particularly in their inability to at least find the net, but a great deal of … Continue reading A worrying lack of perspective from fans but plenty to be proud of in Arsenal’s defeat at Madrid
Fortune favoured the meek despite sterling effort from Arsenal in Europa League
There are precious few occasions in football in which you simply have to shrug your shoulders after the final whistle and admit ‘we were unlucky’. But Thursday night’s 1-1 draw against Athletico Madrid was undoubtedly one of those occasions, a night in which we deserved more and simply didn’t get it. The only thing that … Continue reading Fortune favoured the meek despite sterling effort from Arsenal in Europa League
Arsene Wenger’s decision to step down has given fans something to rally around at last
The announcement of Arsene Wenger’s departure on Friday sparked something that hasn’t truly happened for a long time, the Arsenal fanbase came together. It has been months – years perhaps – since there was such a collective feeling of goodwill around the club, a single focal point around which the fans and followers of the … Continue reading Arsene Wenger’s decision to step down has given fans something to rally around at last
Different line-up but same old result for Arsenal as they throw away points at Newcastle
It may have been an Arsenal side with an unfamiliar look in action at Newcastle on Sunday but the mistakes, the stupidity, and the result had an all-too-familiar feel to them as the Gunners lost out at St James’ Park. The match followed a pattern that we have all seen countless times before in 2017/18 … Continue reading Different line-up but same old result for Arsenal as they throw away points at Newcastle
Tepid Arsenal turn up the temperature to get the job done against Southampton side
Quite why it took a series of setbacks to provoke Arsenal into action is anyone’s guess but provoked they were as they outscored an irritating Southampton side to take all three points at the Emirates on Sunday. After a truly woeful opening 20 minutes or so, Arsenal again found themselves behind as Saints’ greater industry … Continue reading Tepid Arsenal turn up the temperature to get the job done against Southampton side
‘Wenger ball’ makes a fleeting return as Arsenal put four past CSKA Moscow
Arsenal tapped into the much-vaunted ‘Wenger ball’ on Thursday night as they cut swathes through a naïve CSKA Moscow side. The Russian outfit played right into the Gunners’ hands in a gung-ho first half that yielded all five of the game’s goals. Although there were a surprising number of empty seats on show at the … Continue reading ‘Wenger ball’ makes a fleeting return as Arsenal put four past CSKA Moscow
Arsenal vs Stoke: Gunners must spark some life into virtual dead rubber
The visit of Stoke to the Emirates Stadium tomorrow (Sunday) has something of a hollow, listless feeling to it. Though we have been without Premier League action for the greater part of a fortnight and that, in and of itself, should be reason enough to be excited and motivated for the match, it still feels … Continue reading Arsenal vs Stoke: Gunners must spark some life into virtual dead rubber
