• Champions League – Matchday 2: Arsenal vs. Paris Saint-Germain

    Arsenal put in a professional display, winning 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium over Paris Saint-Germain. The Gunners scored two 1st half goals (Kai Havertz – 20′ and Bukayo Saka – 35′) and then defended deep for most of the 2nd half, extinguishing PSG attack after attack. Mikel Arteta’s gameplan worked to perfection. The Gunners started brightly and were in the attacking mood early on and had most of the possession.…

  • NFL – Week 4: Seattle Seahawks at Detroit Lions

    The Seattle Seahawks went into Ford Field and were pounded 42-29 by the Detroit Lions. Quarterback Jared Goff was unbelievable, passing for 292 yards on 18/18 pass attempts and 2 TD’s. He also caught a TD pass from wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown on a well-designed trick-play by offensive coordinator Ben Johnson. The two-headed running attack also proved to be too much for Seattle, with Jahmyr Gibbs (14 carries for…

  • Premier League – Matchday 6: Arsenal vs. Leicester City

    Football is a funny old game. If you simply looked at the score line you’d think Arsenal battered Leicester City and weren’t under any stress or pressure. You would only be half right. In the first half, it felt like the Gunners had 80% possession. Totally dominate, controlling the tempo and playing mostly at the edge of the Leicester City box. The left-side of Arsenal; Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice and…

  • Week 5: Washington Huskies at Rutgers Scarlet Knights

    The Washington Huskies lost their first official road game as a member of the Big Ten conference. They were beaten by Rutgers University, 21-18. It was again an ugly performance by Jedd Fisch’s team, marred by penalties, a lack of execution and undisciplined football. The most costly play happened with about 30 seconds left in the first half when UW blocked a Rutgers field goal, but were flagged for a…

  • Carabao Cup – Round 3: Arsenal vs. Bolton

    Mikel Arteta rotated his side heavily in their 5-1 home rout over Bolton Wanderers to advance to the 4th round of the Carabao Cup, where they will face Preston North End. He started 2 teenage full-backs in Myles Lewis-Skelly (18) and Josh Nichols (18) with Jakub Kiwior handed a rare start at right center-back. He also included midfielder Ethan Nwaneri (17) in the starting XI, who ended up scoring 2…

  • Week 3: Miami Dolphins at Seattle Seahawks

    The Seattle Seahawks pummeled the Miami Dolphins at Lumen Field, 24-3, to push their record to 3-0. Last time the Seahawks started the season 3-0 was the 2020 season when they finished 12-4, losing at home in the wildcard round to the Los Angeles Rams. It’s still extremely early in the season, but Seattle looks much improved on offense and, especially, on defense. Now, skeptics will say they haven’t played…

  • Matchday 5: Arsenal at Manchester City

    Mikel Arteta and Arsenal came agonizingly close to pulling off a sensational 2-1 victory over Manchester City, while playing the 2nd half down a man after Leandro Trossard picked up his 2nd yellow colliding with Bernardo Silva, possibly not hearing referee Michael Oliver’s whistle and kicking the ball away. It’s wild Arsenal had another post-whistle incident after the Declan Rice mess just a couple of weeks back. Going down to…

  • Champions League Matchday 1: Arsenal at Atalanta

    Arsenal begin their Champions League campaign with a 0-0 draw against Atalanta in Bergamo, Italy. The London-based side were their normally solid self in defense with David Raya making a world-class double save when he stopped striker Mateo Retegui’s penalty and subsequent rebound header. It saved the point for the Gunners, who were incredibly flat going forward. They had very little creative juice in attack after Mikel Arteta reveled Martin…
