We heard a lot of talk about Arsenal and the quadruple and then the treble, but after Southampton nicked a FA Cup quarter-final win Saturday, a lot of nervous Gooners are fretting about even a single trophy. I never truly entertained winning multiple trophies. but genuinely felt the Gunners needed a win against Southampton, toContinue reading “Unsettling times”

11 guys and 1 cup
The final international break of the season is over and Arsenal can get back to the tasks at hand. Most Gooners have put the League Cup loss behind them and are raring to back the lads in three remaining competitions. The break was not without a manufactured controversy around Arsenal players withdrawing from international duty.Continue reading “11 guys and 1 cup”

Arsenal secured second last Sunday against Newcastle, on the strength of a Declan Rice screamer. Plenty of clubs would like to be in ourContinue reading “Twice the Arsenal”

A tale of two halves Sunday at Liverpool, with Arsenal making a robust finish after a lackadaisical start. But the eventual draw raised more questions about the Gunners’ ability to secure second place. Newcastle visits the Emirates Sunday, hoping to leapfrog Arsenal in the table. The formidable Magpies have beaten Arsenal in the teams’ lastContinue reading “Sloppy seconds?”
Proud of the lads
Arsenal made a valiant effort Wednesday but our Champions League dream came to an end at the hands of a more clinical PSG side. For much of the match, the Gunners seemed the superior team in every way, except finishing. As hard as it is to finish another season without any silverware, I still loveContinue reading “Proud of the lads”
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.

Rambo was a likeable, capable fellow, but Arteta’s decision to replace him with Raya looks like genius now, asContinue reading “Opposing goals”
Under pressure
At the risk of repeating myself, if Gooners are honest about this season, most of us would have gladly taken a top 4 finish and seen it as a very successful season. But that’s the thing about expectations and getting them raised, perhaps prematurely. None of us expected the success Arsenal have lavished on us,Continue reading “Under pressure”
