Arsenal’s consistency is appalling…..

Author : DKD      Blog : ARMOURY SQUARE      Date : 3/5/2013 2:23:39 PM

'Did you catch the North London Derby ? I did. And I must say that it was exceptionally shitty. Blank for a second, ok, let me explain. I don’t find Spurs a very good club, and given the fact that they beat Arsenal with a 2-1 scoreline just goes on to prove my point even further. These [...]'

Arsenal embarrass supporters yet again (Arsenal 1-3 Bayern Munich)

Author : DKD      Blog : ARMOURY SQUARE      Date : 2/21/2013 6:03:13 PM

'I saw the Bayern Munich match with a lot of interest. As a team Bayern Munich reek of quality. They have a strong midfield and a strong foundation at the back. The statistics speak for themselves having conceded only 7 goals in the Bundesliga before yesterday’s kick off. In response to such a stat, many critics [...]'

My last post for sometime….

Author : DKD      Blog : ARMOURY SQUARE      Date : 1/21/2013 6:30:28 PM

'It was my decision to publish this after the Chelsea game. This one I saw. Few quick observations. Arsenal were little unlucky because the referee should have blown his whistle after Ramires’ foul on Coquelin. Giroud should not write striker in his resume. Arsenal have to sort out their defense before a TOTAL collapse. Last [...]'

Sad start for a mediocre team : Southampton 1-1 Arsenal

Author : DKD      Blog : ARMOURY SQUARE      Date : 1/1/2013 7:29:09 PM

'l don’t understand the logic behind playing Podolski along with Walcott. Walcott can finish with his leg but he never uses his head. Wenger opted for a 4-4-1-1. Cazorla just behind Walcott. The first goal which Arsenal conceded in my opinion should be analysed. Players should understand their mistakes. And the only way they can do [...]'

'For the first time in my life, I could not get myself to sit through an Arsenal match. I saw the first half, got bored, and decided to leave it to the Gods (went to play football) Ofcourse I wanted Arsenal to win. Although, I was not too hopeful after the first half. Wigan [...]'

I can’t blame Arsenal for paying low wages….just think about it.

Author : DKD      Blog : ARMOURY SQUARE      Date : 12/11/2012 1:13:33 PM

'The media has always linked Arsenal to a host of players. Young players, old players, new players dubbed as old players, and so on. Sadly, the club never goes for these targets because quite realistically they seem to be beyond the budget. I criticise Wenger for his transfers and my reasons are pretty simple. Before [...]'

'I watched the Swansea game yesterday. I didn’t bother about a report because I never even saw the goals. It was so painful that I forced myself to fall asleep (late into the second half). When I got up, I asked my brother the score and he said 0-2. Michu brace. This is probably the [...]'

Inculcating the 3-5-2 is not impossible for this Arsenal side

Author : DKD      Blog : ARMOURY SQUARE      Date : 12/1/2012 6:14:41 AM

'The 3-5-2 formation has always been an interesting thing to dwell on. It was the formation used by the Polish National team between the years 1994-2000. For any side to carry out such a strategy involves a lot of hard work, and patience. This is not only because it is different, but also because the [...]'

If Arsenal sign anyone in January, Santa Claus is real/ Villa’s match killed me….

'I watched all the Arsenal games in the last 12 days. Today I saw the Villa game. With all respect to the North London derby, it was ruined after Adebayor’s rightly deserved red card. Before his tackle on Cazorla, Spurs had 4 shots on target compared to Arsenal’s o. And they led. After the red card [...]'

'I swear at the end of this blog post I felt I completely wasted my time. It was like watching a guy slip on a wet floor for one hour. Sub-standard is probably the best word I can sum up for Arsenal in the first half. Arsenal fans will say that the goal conceded was [...]'

'I missed the first 2 mins of the match. Reasons will not be disclosed because they are not worthy enough to be written. Majority of the first half was played  inside West Ham’s half. Its not that Arsenal were playing very well – its just that this was scripted. West Ham under Sam Allardyce, or [...]'

‘Zonal’s a bitch’ : Manchester City FC 1-0 Arsenal FC

'Watched the game today. Got into a zonal marking vs man marking debate with my brother after the first half. Arsenal played well today (except for Walcott and Gervinho) and deserved something out of the match. A point earned rather than 2 lost, in my eyes. In the 15th min, a delightful through ball from Ramsey penetrated [...]'

Whenever Blackburn come to the Emirates, I expect a minimal 4-0 scoreline in favour of Arsenal. Today Southampton played similar to Blackburn. 10 mins into the match after a string of intricate passes from [...]'

'I watched the first half an hour of the Liverpool and Arsenal game. Pretty boring, right upto the 30th  min. On 31, the away sides score line changed. The first goal of the new season arrived for Arsenal. Cazorla, at the end of a quick counter-attack slotted a diagonal left pass to Podolski, who took 2 touches [...]'
