How much of a wind is in the Arsenal sail is the question. Arteta and Arsenal topped off a great week by going away and dispatching a tough and tricky Wolves to keep alive our European hopes of this season. An impressive 2-0 win closes the gap to Wolves and…

#WOLARS This football schedule is proving taxing for me. Having to write a preview and follow up with a match report every 3 days. How do footballers cope? I am even more impressed but also get now why some people are jealous of their wages. No one’s complaining about the…
Aubameyang: 2 goals and an assist was kicking ass. Arsenal’s first home game in over 3 months. Any apprehensions of the players being a little rusty were dispelled early, as the passing was easy and quick right from the start. Wish the same could be said for the TV producers….
#ARSNOR Two away losses, and two away wins, and now we’re back to play our first home game since the restart. I’m looking forward to the Fifa20 crowd chants. ‘Mike Dean is a wanker’ better be on the playlist. The referee is Peter Bankes but that doesn’t matter, except it…
Emi Martinez, Arsenal’s Man-of-the-match? This season has truly been forgettable. Boring football, a manager sacking, getting thumped out of Europe at the hands of a team you should be dispatching with your B team, more boring football, more embarrassing defeats, you name it. But after our journey to Sheffield, hope…
#SHUARS This season has felt like a bit of a write-off for some time now, so it is almost unbelievable to think that Arsenal could end it with a trophy. But this is precisely what Arsenal, and Mikel Arteta, would be hoping to achieve. There’s the small matter of the…
Eddie Nketiah takes advantage of a Southampton bogey to score. Arsenal faced Southampton under a blazing hot sun but started the match cold. They were initially nervous on the ball and unable to maintain possession. Fortunately, this lasted only about 5 minutes. For virtually the entire match after, the players…
#SOUARS It’s been a bizarre season and it doesn’t seem to want to stop. Two matches after the restart, and two losses later, Arsenal are facing something of a crisis; of identity, of performances, and of points. For all of my life as an Arsenal fan, European football has been…
Bernd Leno giving it to Brighton’s Neal Maupay for causing his injury as Arsenal are defeated (Photo courtesy of fair use doctrine). There was a time when Arsenal was the only undefeated team in 2020 but now after the restart it finally seems like we are in sync with the…
David Luiz’s 26 minutes of madness culminated in a red card. When football season came to a halt due to COVID-19 outbreak, a selfish part in me rather hoped that this season be called null and void. Let’s be honest, with Arsenal on track for their worst season in…
