In this podcast both Blackburn George and I acknowledge this was a brilliant season for Arsenal. Taking Manchester City down to the wire, on the very last day of the season, was an outstanding achievement. Arsenal can only blame itself for losing its lead during the final weeks by…
Everton
In our Everton-Arsenal match review, Blackburn George and I observe that Arsenal was the only team trying to play football while Everton was anything but. On the goalkeeping situation, George takes a victory lap, reminding us he predicted that David Raya was bought to become the new Number One and…
#EVEARS match preview by Shard aka @ShardGooner Another game, another defeat, another argument about the culpability or lack thereof of the manager in his team’s fortunes. No point going over all that again I suppose. This is just who Arteta is. In his play and in his deflections. I do…
