by Amiya Saha - 17/12/201917/12/2019

One win in 12 matches across all competitions says it all. Arsenal are mired in a sticky mud of incompetence, ineptitude and crippling insecurity. The Gunners lack any kind of identity in their performances at the moment, and the ‘new manager bounce’ has not materialised under interim boss Freddie Ljungberg.

by The Highbury Flyer - 15/12/2019

The biggest challenge of Freddie Ljungberg’s career as interim Arsenal manager awaits and although Manchester City have been surprisingly out of salts this season, it’s obvious to everyone that Guardiola’s gladiators are far superior from the front to the back.

Arsenal, gunners transfer news, Arsenal transfer window, transfer window

Each year around

by The Highbury Flyer - 15/12/201915/12/2019

Having seen the big names drop out one by one from the race to become Arsenal’s next head coach, Raul Sanllehi and Josh Kroenke need to go all out and secure Mikel Arteta before the Everton job draws his attention. No, it’s not a panic move because it’s said that Arteta

by The Highbury Flyer - 14/12/201915/12/2019

Arsenal’s passage in the Europa league competition wasn’t really in doubt but their position was. Having immediately dismissed the likelihood of a 5-0 loss to the Belgium side, a draw was the most probable outcome but ....this is Arsenal. If there’s a hard way to do it, Arsenal will take it

by The Highbury Flyer - 12/12/201912/12/2019

Sometimes it’s the fans that tend to see the most obvious things from afar and current defensive conundrum of Arsenal appears to be fairly straight forward from a supporters perspective. Having tried the various permutations of Luiz, Mustafi and Sokratis, it’s time to drop all three and look elsewhere. Ljungberg may

by The Highbury Flyer - 07/12/201907/12/2019

Brighton who had pushed Liverpool so

Defensive Crisis in Full Swing | Arsenal Need to Stop Making do at the back by Simply Buying Defenders on the Cheap

by The Highbury Flyer - 05/12/201905/12/2019

If any lessons have been learned by Arsenal after the failed transition of Wenger to Emery, it’s that they shouldn’t have gone shopping for bargains and should have spent their cash more wisely and appropriately in the right areas...defense !

by The Highbury Flyer - 30/11/2019

Arsenal, Arsenal PL, Arsenal fans, Arsenal supporter, Arsenal supporters

Lee Dixon wears a pained expression when talking about Arsenal these days and he stops just short of declaring that Unai Emery has reached the end of his Emirates career. However, Dixon was adamant that Arsenal shouldn’t be tempted to buy their way out of trouble in January by drafting in

Don’t expect Miracles Because Arsenal Have Always Been Consistently Awful in Their Decision Making

by The Highbury Flyer - 29/11/2019

If Arsenal continue on their current trajectory and maintain their dismal form, the board will actually be negligent if they allow the situation to get worse under Unai Emery. One imagines that the words of Arsenal head of football Raul Sanllehi and managing director Vinai Venkatesham are still ringing in his

There’s an air of Inevitability at the Emirates About Unai Emery’s Dismissal

by The Highbury Flyer - 21/11/2019

The Unai Emery Situation at Arsenal is rather reminiscent of Stephen King’s ‘Green Mile’ as the inmate announces, ‘Walking the mile, walking the mile. Dead man walking, walking the Green mile.’ For those that haven’t seen the classic film, it refers to the walk which follows a green line from the

The Emery Conundrum: – Take a Deep Breath Everyone, let’s Look Before we Leap and Make Things Worse

by The Highbury Flyer - 19/11/2019

I’m going to say it first and then work backwards. Unai Emery needs to leave Arsenal ! There, it’s out, however, I am incredibly wary about the next move, even though it’s clear that Emery is a poor fit. Social media is awash with a list of candidates to replace the

Speculations Rife About Rafa Benitez Coming to Arsenal and Fans are Certainly Pleased to Hear That

by The Highbury Flyer - 17/11/201917/11/2019

I made no secret that I felt Arsenal missed a trick by not employing Rafa Benitez as their coach, after they removed Arsene Wenger in the coup of 2018. Instead, they unexpectedly chose Unai Emery and at the time, Benitez wasn’t even on the short list. Big mistake, huge ! Benitez

Unai Emery Will not go beyond his current season at Arsenal and Even Sooner Might be the Right way to go About it

by The Highbury Flyer - 17/11/201917/11/2019

Arsenal are in the grip of an appalling run of form and regardless of the personnel drafted in or the various formations used, Unai Emery appears powerless to stop the rot. With each poor result, the ground under the Spaniard's feet becomes a little less stable and there is talk that

With his Position Being Untenable, Will Granit Xhaka Ever Feature Again for Arsenal

by The Highbury Flyer - 16/11/201917/11/2019

It was inevitable that Granit Xhaka should be removed as Arsenal captain after his recent meltdown against Crystal Palace. Although one has a degree of sympathy for the way he was goaded by fans after meandering off the field, he was provoked more than anyone I can remember. Having said that,
