Is there hope?

Try as I might, it’s been hard to put the travesty of last weekend’s match behind me, but the tepid Tuesday Champions League win, did nothing to soothe my nerves. We added Calafiori to an injury list that includes Saka, Timber, Ødegaard, and Tomiyasu. We will, of course, be without Saliba following his red cardContinue reading “Is there hope?”

Opposing goals

Arsenal dispatched PSG in Champions League action on Tuesday with some aplomb. I particularly enjoyed Barney Ronay’s take on it in the Guardian.

All or Nothing is coincidentally, the name of the Arsenal TV series on Prime. Sunday’s match against Villa was to put it mildly, a debacle.Continue reading “Jetzt geht’s um die Wurst”

Bring on the Villains

In point of fact, Arsenal’s opponent, Aston Villa are called The Villans. But no doubt, Unai Emery’s side would love to play the villains in Arsenal’s bid to win the title. The Birmingham side is currently battling the tiny Totts for a top four spot, in hopes of securing Champions League football next season. ThenContinue reading “Bring on the Villains”
