The business end of the season starts here. After an exciting international break, if you are an England fan, the Premier League returns and there is so much to play for still for so many teams. I think there are only two or three teams with nothing to play for really. You could argue that […]
Arsenal 2-0 Southampton – Premier League Review Saints decanonised and beaten at the Emirates….. This was a return to a fluent Arsenal, in large part. After the comfortable win and clean sheet in the Europa League, Southampton offered some fight, but not enough to seriously trouble us. The starting line-up featured […]
Huddersfield v Arsenal John Smith’s Stadium | February 9th, 2019 Gunners Back To Basics in Top Four Battle Arsenal will be looking to go back level with Chelsea in the race for the top four on Saturday afternoon when they travel to face bottom side Huddersfield. Huddersfield, who have new manager Jan Siewart in charge, […]
West Ham United vs. Arsenal Premier League preview We travel across London to the London Stadium near Stratford, for the first of two London games this week. West Ham was unlucky not to get something from the game at our place in September. We won 3-1, but this scoreline flattered us to […]
Arsenal vs. Huddersfield Town – Premier League preview We have another instalment of the Herbert Chapman “Derby” – since the great manager had successful spells at both clubs. He won the league three times in a row at Huddersfield and then commenced our great era in the 1930s. Moreover, this fixture has irony […]
Manchester United vs. Arsenal preview After the glorious win vs. the Scum, we have another rival to play. This time, it’s Manchester United, and a certain Mr. Mourinho, with whom we have an interesting history. Jose hasn’t had the best of times this season. Much has been made of his “third season syndrome”. From […]
After the bore draw and horror injury for Danny Welbeck, we face Wolverhampton Wanderers at home. Wolves are a welcome addition to the Premier League, and despite not featuring much in the top division of late, they are a football club of some note. They’ve won the league three times (more times than Spurs incidentally), […]
Crystal Palace vs. Arsenal – Premier League preview It’s north vs. south London on Sunday, and the media as usual term this a “London derby”. Yes, technically it’s accurate. We’re both in the same city, so we’re geographically close. However, derby to me denotes rivalry, hate, and animosity. This for us only applies to […]
The close friendship between happiness and frustration Positives, Needs and Hopes. I am so happy that we are winning the games that we do not necessarily deserve to. I am frustrated that we are winning but not playing particularly well. Happy, frustrated. Frustrated or happy? I have decided…I am 63% happy and 37% frustrated 😆 […]
We will be looking to extend our winning streak to 5 leagues games and 7 overall when hosting Watford today. A task made harder than usual by the Bees’ surprisingly excellent form up to date: Xavi Gracia’s team are on 13 points after 6 games, losing one (to United) and drawing one (to Fulham last […]
