A tough, tiring, game against Everton ended in a victory. Two (2) in a row in the league now. This, as Arteta pointed out, isn’t enough if we’re looking to get back into Europe next season. Our best route to the CL, in my opinion, is the Europa League. Not…
Match Preview
#ARSEVE: 2 wins from 2 games following the mini break in Dubai. Both posed a different sort of challenge. The second half against Newcastle was brilliant stuff. The away goal at Olympiakos was much more hard fought. But both were good performances in their own way. This will need to…
#OLYARS: After turning on the style in the second half against Newcastle, Arsenal have to be feeling good about themselves. Despite how the season has gone, there is still a small chance to qualify for the CL. Both through the league and, of course, through winning the EL. We’ve come…
#BURARS We need to be ready for a battle. These were Mikel Arteta’s words when discussing the next game away at Burnley. But match aside, this also applies to our season as a whole. 24 games in and we’re a mere 6 points ahead of relegation. What really brought it…
Arteta holds the FA cup aloft in 2014, breaking the trophy drought. The FA Cup is next. This may be our competition, courtesy of Arsene Wenger, but it’s not always one we get lucky in. The 2001 final still hurts although 2005 was a bit of a catharsis. Of course,…
#CHEARS Just over 3 weeks ago, Arsenal faced Chelsea in what was an evenly matched game. My prediction on the day proved right. Not just the result, but in the manner it came about. A close fought game ending in a heartbreaking loss. Of course, VAR or whoever Riley appointed…
#ARSSHU Three months ago, Arsenal was in 3rd, ready to take on Sheffield United. We ended up losing that game. Today Arsenal are in 10th and Sheffield are 4 points and 4 places ahead of us. We also have injury problems. And yet, I feel more confident about the game…
#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…
Bielsa and Arteta Leeds in the FA Cup can only bring up one image. That of Thierry Henry on his return, receiving a through ball from Alex Song, turning in that familiar manner, and finishing in the far corner. I could barely contain my joy at that moment, and there…
#ARSMUN Moving into the new year, Arsenal will hope to leave behind a pretty dire 2019, while Arteta will hope the third time’s the charm. The Chelsea loss was hard to take, although yet again, the performance was encouraging. Results now need to follow. It won’t be easy against our…
