invinciblogI was eleven-and-a-half. My family had just emigrated from Rhodesia to South Africa. All the kids on my street supported United or Liverpool, because of their Southern African goalkeeper connections: Bailey for United and Grobbelaar for ‘Pool. Problem was: I didn’t like the colour red – so when FA Cup Final day came around in […]
Where do I even begin this blog? I haven’t had much mojo for blogging recently, so I have been quiet. After that travesty at Old Trafford, though, I’m not going to hold back. Arsenal need a major overhaul and I am starting to wonder if Wenger is the man to do it, or if he […]
The longer I spend reflecting on our two disappointing results against Hull City and Barcelona, the more I find myself not only questioning Arsene’s judgement but his comments to the media too. Arsene’s decision to make nine changes to the team to face Hull was somewhat expected with Barcelona on the horizon. Despite this being […]
The game against Manchester United is looming large and it is the 3rd match in a busy schedule. It started vs Hull in the cup, continued against Barca, now we have United and then, with a 3-5 days interval, Swansea, Tottenham, Hull again, Watford/West Bromwich (depending on whether we beat Hull in the replay), Barcelona […]
Theo James Walcott signed from Southampton on the 20th January 2006 and I for one was delighted. He was young, English, exciting and, above everything, the first Arsenal player I knew of, who was younger than me – by a month, which kind of caught my imagination and gave me a unique supporter-player relationship that […]
It was hardly a surprise that Arsenal lost to Barcelona. They are the best team in the world and their front three contains three of the world’s best strikers. Maybe Real Madrid fans should educate some of us Arsenal fans on how good Barcelona really are. I get the fact that our season is hanging […]
Well, we didn’t really expect anything else did we? I have read a lot of tweets today and they vary between blaming Wenger and berating the players to applause for our performance for 70 mins and even slight praise from Alex. Alex as always is optimistic, and short of the Emirates being swallowed by a […]
If you asked me to describe our yesterday’s performance in one word I would say “valiant”. It was a valiant effort from the Gunners for the entirety of the contest. That’s why the loss, especially by two goals, was so heartbreaking. We were more than equal to Barcelona for 70 minutes, then, clearly as was […]
There have been quite a few articles this week on how we can beat Barcelona. I particularly liked this one from Michael Cox, where he argues the combination of early pressing and deep defending for the remainder of the game can do the trick. Then there were two, very similar in the idea they conveyed, […]
