Two seasons of massive underachievement prior to this one, ensured a large percentage of our fan base had vastly reduced expectation levels at the beginning of this campaign. I’m frequently reading how we overachieved this season. In my opinion we didn’t. When the transfer window closed in the summer, I was relatively pleased with our […]
That’s it, our European journey came to an abrupt end at the Volkswagen Arena, last night.It hurts but we can hardly say the outcome was unfair: over the two legs, Wolfsburg has been the better team. Although we grew into the game and could have had more luck with some of our shots, the first […]
It has been an excellent season for Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal side to this point. The Gunners were widely mocked after the opening weeks of the season, as they sat bottom of the Premier League, and jokes were made that relegation could be on the cards. However, very few opposing fans are laughing now, […]
It would be an understatement to say that Arsenal fans are divided over almost every issue pertaining to the club. I haven’t tracked any long-term social media trends, but it’s fair to say that things have stayed relatively flammable on ‘Arsenal twitter’ since the rabid, vitriolic days of #WengerOut (typing that hashtag made me vomit […]
What an incredible night.TS Hoffenheim needed to win with a five-goals margin to dislodge us from the second spot and qualify for the quarter-finals and came very close to achieve that despite not doing anything stellar to get there. I cannot think of a better way to describe last night’s game than to compare it […]
One point to validate the ticket for the quarter finals, two games to go. We’re almost there!The 3-0 win against HB Køge, paired with Barcelona thrashing TSG Hoffenheim, means that we only need one point from the next two fixtures to qualify to the knock-out phase of the Champions League.Goals from Caitlin Foord, Lotte […]
It’s fair to say that the 2020-21 season has been one of the worst in Arsenal’s modern history. Not only are the Gunners out of the Europa League, but three of their biggest rivals will line up in European finals at the end of the campaign. Aside from Manchester United, who play Unai Emery’s Villarreal […]
The road to the Champions League is full of potholes When you are 3-0 down at West Ham on a Sunday afternoon, the Champions League feels a long way away. However, the Gunners fought back superbly to come away with a draw. That fighting spirit is needed if Arsenal are to play in the 2021/22 […]
Portrayed as a fraud. Painted as a failed genius by others, there is more to Unai Emery’s tenure with Arsenal than meets the eye. Charged with the titanic assignment of returning Arsenal to Champions League ascension, Arsène Wenger’s successor highlighted the arrival of a new era. For the first time in over two decades, Arsenal […]
We currently sit in 10th place, 7 points off of the European places and in indifferent form. Depending on who wins the FA Cup, finishing 7th could get us back into the Europa League, but the chances of doing so are looking increasingly unlikely. Winning the Europa League brings with it the coveted entry into […]
