Have we turned the corner yet?
Arsenal won again, this time an easy 3-0 win over what was a poor WBA side. It says something about the match that the biggest talking points in the post-match twitter analysis was about the classiness/tackiness of those banners. Read on →
Arsenal fall flat after weekend highs
Days after having received all sorts of disparagement for allowing 3 goals yet still win by 2, Arsenal is being now castigated for holding a tighter defensive line in a lacklustre 0-0 draw.
Described as everything from fatigued to atrocious it shows that there is always something to pick apart, you can never please everyone. We did not produce the goals, but we did create a few chances.

The Curious Case Of Laurent Koscielny—Human Fallacies
In my last post I wrote that Koscielny is the first choice centreback. Adding:
The assumption is that Vermaelen will partner Mertesacker in the long run, however as far as I am concerned it will be Koscielny in the driver seat with others fighting for a game.
This morning I had intended to write more about Koscielny’s rise from Lique 1 to 1st choice at The Arsenal, however in my feed reader I saw that @dstonearsenal wrote an excellent piece on that topic, so I’m just going to add a few words about the man who according to the esteemed Mr. Redknapp had finally “arrived” in the 3-5 win against Chelsea.

Arsenal 2-1 Olympiacos.

Injuries and the upcoming North London Derby(NLD) meant that the side put out by Pat Rice would be a shadow of our best 11. Song at Centre Back, The Ox™ in for Walcott, Andrew Saint continues to get settled in, and Rusty Rosický the stand in captain. Read on →
Arsenal 3 – 0 Bolton, one step forward
You’d have been hard pressed to find an Arsenal fan going into this fixture brimming with confidence, and when Szczęsny was called upon to make a save — and wonderful a save it was — in the opening minutes gooners everywhere feared the worst.
The crowd was more behind the team now that there is a noticeable lack of confidence on the pitch. No one can accuse the Emirates crowd of the apathy of previous seasons. No more we sit back waiting to be entertained, we know that our support is needed now more than ever and that is manifested in a more boisterous crowd at The Emirates Stadium. Read on →
Borusia Dortmund Arsenal, a twitter review
I haven’t been writing much on here because of a mixture of changed personal circumstances, time, and —if I’m really honest— laziness. However I do spend time on twitter because of it’s immediacy and mobility. So instead of giving you my biased thoughts on the game, I’m going to use the power of Read on →
We love you Arsenal
The only way to deal with seeing your team lose faith is to get behind them, give them the support and re-ignite that faith & pride.
