Last time around, Arsenal and Santa Cazorla proved me wrong and provided a miracle. That was an upset that made me very happy indeed. But now we’ve got the glamour opponent done with and it’s back to boring ol’ Brighton we go. What the opponent lacks in spice, the occasion…
#ARSCHE match preview by Shard aka @shardgooner on Twitter Time can be such a weird thing. I was away from Arsenal and Twitter for about a week and it feels like everything has passed me by, and yet nothing has really changed. We lost again. The same arguments are raging….
#ARSSOU preview by Shard Mikel Arteta joined the club as a player at a time of crisis and was instrumental in helping to stabilize things, quickly gaining a reputation as a leader in the dressing room. In some ways his managerial career has followed the same path. Emery was a…
ARSBUR Match preview by Shard Another midweek game, another victory that brought a welcome reprieve from the Premier League. 6 victories from 6 games is a far cry from a run of 3 straight home defeats and a solitary point from our last 4 league games. We’ve scored 10 goals…
TOTARS preview by Shard Thursday saw Arsenal host Rapid Vienna and for the first time in a long time, there were fans present at the stadium. It was also the first time in a long time that I enjoyed watching Arsenal play. I don’t think the two are related, but…
ARSWOL match preview by Shard Apologies in advance for a rushed preview. I’ve been busy over the weekend. Frankly, I feel better being busy than obsessing over Arsenal. Certainly not like I used to. Arteta has all the words, but has lost some credibility with how he’s gone about things….
ARSAVL match preview by Shard Gooner The win against ManU stopped the rot in the PL for Arsenal, and the midweek win against Ole’s old team was pleasing especially for the way young Joe performed. The world was more concerned with Ol’ Joe this week, but there is talk of…
MUNARS match preview by Shard Arsenal taking on Man United. What a fixture this used to be. With the exception of referees giving them dodgy penalties, all seems to have changed now. No longer the top dogs in the league, both have gone the ex-player as manager route. Surprisingly Ole…
ARSLEI match preview by @ShardGooner Football has often been ridiculed, by those that don’t get it, as a silly game where 22 men chase one ball. Some players, and occasionally, a team, could raise the game to new heights though, and take everyone along with them. That collective gasp of…
#MCIARS match preview by @shardgooner It feels like a long time has passed since we played our last game, and probably because a lot has happened in the meantime. Arsenal signed Thomas in a deadline day “Partey”. Arsene Wenger launched his book and has done a series of interviews. God’s…
