What the FA, Arsenal!

Yesterday’s revenge match against Liverpool ended 0-0. Arsenal dominated the first half without ever putting the ball in the net. Liverpool found their footing in the second half but neither side emerged victorious. For many Gooners (myself included), it was an unsatisfying missed opportunity. This Sunday, Arsenal continue pursuit of different silverware in the 3rdContinue reading “What the FA, Arsenal!”

But it’s no flukeContinue reading “An end to Villainy”

We’re all dreaming of dominating matches, free flowing football and copious goals, but grinding out resultsContinue reading “The gift of Arsenal”

Thrilled Arsenal finished 2022 with a win away at Brighton. Despite going up 0-3, the Gunners found themselves with plenty to do in the remaining 25 minutes of the match, as the Seagulls would not die quietly and it all ended with a rather nervy finish. Still, sitting atop the Premiership table with a 7Continue reading “Jan 3 v Newcastle United, 11:45a”
