#CRYARS Of all the stories I’d thought there’d be of Arsenal’s season in mid January, facing a Crystal Palace side which is above us in the table is a surprise. What a crazy season it’s been. Crystal Palace initially found themselves parked near the relegation zone, but have now found…
Dear coach, Please find a way to tamp down on the current overblown expectations among fans and the media. After four matches under your leadership almost every fan is beside themselves with excitement. The transformation in the way we play and the improvement displayed by the players after a mere…
