Two of Arsenal’s biggest supporters’ groups have called for co-ordinated protest at Saturday’s match against Norwich – in a bid to force change at the top of the club. The Black Scarf Movement and REDaction Gooners described the club as “stale” and have called on fans attending Saturday’s televised match to hold up posters that … Continue reading Protest will surely deepen widening rift between Arsenal fans
After another frustrating Premier League display on Sunday, isn’t it time that Arsenal tried something new in attack? For the umpteenth time this season, the Gunners suffered from a lack of killer instinct in front of goal and had to settle for a 0-0 draw as a host of chances were either spurned or denied … Continue reading Is it time for Arsenal to try something new in attack?
Nobody expected Sunderland to roll over and die – they are fighting for their Premier League survival after all – but Arsenal found a way to make them look like world beaters in a turgid draw. The little bit of fight that we saw against West Bromwich vanished without trace at the Stadium of Light, … Continue reading Sunderland 0 Arsenal 0: Olivier Giroud symptomatic of a Gunners side shorn of all confidence
Arsenal don’t really shoot from outside the box – everybody from the fans, to opponents, to the tea lady’s cat at Merthyr Tydfil Rugby Club knows as much. So imagine the surprise when Arsene Wenger conceded in his pre-Sunderland press conference that Alexis Sanchez’s willingness to have a go from beyond the 18-yard line had … Continue reading Arsene Wenger acknowledges Arsenal need to be ‘more dangerous’ with shots outside the box
There was an eerie feeling of déjà vu about last night’s win over West Brom. Deep inside me there was a nagging feeling that I’d seen it all before – or something very much like it – and it was almost impossible to shake off. And then it came to me: I had seen it … Continue reading Win over West Brom showed just how thin the line bewteen glory and disaster can be
Alexis Sanchez was a ray of light at an otherwise gloomy Emirates stadium as Arsenal comfortably beat West Bromwich Albion. A first-half double for the Chilean was enough to steal the show and secure the 2-0 win, with a much-needed three points taking the edge off of a truly painful fortnight for the Gunners. But … Continue reading Arsenal 2 West Brom 0: The Gunners win through on a night they dared not lose
Arsene Wenger says his players “do not want to play in a negative environment” as the Gunners prepare to welcome West Bromwich Albion to the Emirates on Thursday. At his pre-match press conference today, Arsene was asked about the dark mood among fans and whether his side would be able to cope with the atmosphere … Continue reading Arsenal boss says his side ‘do not want to play in negative environment’
It was great to see Jack Wilshere back in action again for the Under 21 side last night (Monday) albeit in a 2-1 defeat to West Brom. It was another small step on the road to a first team return for Jack but it was capped with a quite superb goal for the young Gunners … Continue reading Jack Wilshere could be a light in Arsenal’s gathering darkness
When Mohamed Elneny and Francis Coquelin put together a run of really quite impressive performances together in midfield, I dared to hope that Arsenal had hit upon the balance needed to knit the disparate parts of the team together. The shield to keep teams from exploiting our soft underbelly – which had been so regularly … Continue reading The answer is obvious: Either the mentality changes or the manager does
Pathetic. Totally and utterly pathetic. When Yannick Bolasie, a man who hasn’t scored for about 20 years, fired a shot past Petr Cech to equalise, in a game in which Crystal Palace managed barely a shot on target, nobody was surprised. And that tells you everything you need to know about this team, this season, … Continue reading Arsenal blew it again – and nobody is surprised
