Light of hope or despair Sky is blue, grass is green and Arsenal play to another draw. It has become so common this season, what else to expect going into a game. Our expectations of a win, which were so common seasons before, have become rather rare. There were a…
Match Report
Score: 1-2 I was asked to write the match report just before the game, and honestly, it seemed a daunting task. As it turns out, it was one of the most enjoyable Arsenal games for some time. I didn’t get much right about the starting lineup. Ozil and Laca were…
Iconic Martinelli (Image via fair use) On Tuesday night, Arsenal showed mental strength, game management, discipline, leadership, composure, will to fight till the end and to grind out a result.
