Again.” “If we are going to score, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be from open play.” “Eddie looks lost. Why […]
An Arteta-induced L Manchester City 1-0 Arsenal – PL review It is about time we got an away win at another big six club. But this game wasn’t it. Maybe we can beat City in the League Cup very soon. But not this time around. I can recall a time when City was a […]
A Window to the Future Saturday at 5pm I sat down to make a coaching plan based on what I’d just seen. My son’s team had just been beaten 4-1 and I’d been asked to guest coach a session this Thursday. When deciding what to teach I always try to analyze what the root of […]
West Ham did to us at home what they did in 18/19 and 19/20. For the third season in a row, they’ve given us a run for their money and were unlucky to get a win. David Moyes has been maligned in some parts, especially after his failure at Man United, but in this game, […]

The Sun will Shine when the Habits change Better players will certainly help. A balanced team is imperative. We as fans could always offer more patience. Regardless of all that though, Arsenal have had the habit of self implosion for a long time. That game was certainly swinging City’s way as it approached half time. […]
Man City 3-0 Arsenal Premier League • Etihad Stadium • June 17th, 2020 We got gunned down at Man City – and let’s be frank it’s what was coming to us. They’re a better side with better players. Kevin de Bruyne proved his world-class status with a man of the match performance. And […]
It’s only a few days before we kick off vs. Man City. And Guardiola and his former assistant Arteta will face off to boot.
