What a ride, this Arsenal team. Snatching victory at Kenilworth Road in the last 30 seconds of stoppage time against a surprisingly formidable Luton side. Declan Rice’s towering header was every bit as thrilling as Reiss Nelson’s late game winner last season at Bournemouth. And yet, there’s a different resolve, more steel to the GunnersContinue reading “Something’s got to give”

Arsenal through the lens
If you were unable to watch Arsenal’s mid-week Champions League match against RC Lens, you owe it yourself to at least see the highlights. It was a bit like watching a Harlem Globetrotters match or an Oprah special, You get a goal, and you get a goal, and you get a goal! Perhaps this isContinue reading “Arsenal through the lens”
Did you save room for Arsenal?
Hope everyone was able to enjoy time off this week with friends and family. Don’t worry if you over indulged, as long as you saved a little room for Arsenal. The Thanksgiving holiday and another dreaded interlull behind us, it’s now back to business for the Gunners. Annoyance at Trossard and Jesus playing a fullContinue reading “Did you save room for Arsenal?”
Six ways to Saturday
Arsenal’s decisive win Wednesday over Sevilla in the Champions League group stage served as a bit of a palate cleanser, but The Travesty on Tyneside is still stuck firmly in one’s craw. To have VAR examine an opposition goal for 4 possible violations and still stand could only happen to Arsenal. Topped off with severalContinue reading “Six ways to Saturday”
The hammer came down
Just like that, the hammer came down and our league cup run is over. You’ll hear Gooners rationalize it as freeing Arsenal up for more important things, but the truth is, it was an anemic performance all round. This was a chance for a number of squad players to bolster supporters already shaky faith inContinue reading “The hammer came down”
A is for Arsenal, also anxiety
Nervy late moments in our mid-week Champions League match against Sevilla, but don’t let it diminish two stellar goals by Martinelli and Jesus. Martinelli’s was reminiscent of his legendary goal a few seasons back at Chelsea. Also laudable was our stout defense with a rock star performance by Tomiyasu. Next up, Sheffield United, who haveContinue reading “A is for Arsenal, also anxiety”
On the rebound
Loved the late fight back from the Gunners on Saturday, but feel a little fortunate to snatch a late draw from the mouth of defeat. The lads seemed a step behind for most of the match and made an ordinary Chelsea team look like contenders. No time to dwell as Arsenal head to Spain toContinue reading “On the rebound”
Old familiar foes
Another dreaded interlull behind us and Arsenal’s triumphant win over Man City begins to fade into memory, as we prepare for the lads to get back to business. This might seem like a good time to face Chelsea, currently sitting in 11th, having won only 3 matches. But two of those were their most recent,Continue reading “Old familiar foes”
Rollercoaster of love
Just over two months into the season, we’ve hit the first real dip in the Arsenal supporter rollercoaster. Our trip to France ended up so much sour milk, with RC Lens taking advantage of our sloppy defense and Saka limping off. Again. And of course, it would occur just prior to our biggest match ofContinue reading “Rollercoaster of love”
The champignons league?
Fine effort by Arsenal to crush a hapless Bournemouth, 4-0. However, Saka and Jesus going off limping is worrisome, especially given Martinelli and Partney are still out. Saka was amongst the top 10 most fouled players in the Premier League last season and that irksome trend appears to be continuing. Quick jaunt to France forContinue reading “The champignons league?”
