The View From Block 107

Season ticket holder, Block 107 North Bank hence the name. And yes, yet another blog about The Arsenal. Looking to connect with fellow Gooners. Views are my own

Talk about cheating. Still can’t believe this wasn’t given as handball. 😂

@johncrossmirror Guehi and Semenyo's wages are astronomically high. No one else could come close to matching them cos of PSR, so couldn't compete for those signings.

Game changers yes, but this was all about City's financial muscle v the rest. It's nowhere near a level playing field.

Watching the Rory documentary on prime, a line that struck me ‘Failure never ruins anybody. Doubt and fear will kill you ’. The Arsenal need to not fear and instead relish what’s in front of them, that’s when the best will come out. Big game Wednesday to turn up

@fkhanage I find this mental FK, looked at the stats and supposedly after 28 league games, Gyokeres found offside twice in total across all of them 🤯. We simply don’t progress forward quick enough and it’s actually our slow tempo that leads to the low blocks where we can’t get in behind

[The View From Block 107 @theviewfrom107]

32 but Viktor Gyökeres has been caught offside 2 times in the 2025/26 season (Premier League).
•Matches: 28
•Goals: 10
•Offsides: 2
•Minutes: 1,862

We’ve bought a striker that doesn’t suit our style and we simply don’t mix it up and play it in behind at all

It’s used to drive me mental how many times Adebayor was caught offside 07/08, but he ended up with 30 goals that season and we nearly won the league. I understand football has changed but this is so ridiculous after 28 matches this says it all, with another one yesterday after

turned the opposition and our forward was in. We just plod along with this slow, controlled build up but when there is no control, you’re up shit creek without a paddle

[The View From Block 107 @theviewfrom107]

The concern for me is when your build up is so integral from the back, the keeper needs to be on it, the first touch always correct (horrendously bad from a few today), plus energy in your midfield. We’re now back at the age old, no plan B. The one time we did, offside but we

If we do it and they do this, I might have to call it a day. Nothing tops it

teams off, and all the hard work from the first half of the season unravelling weekly now from this passive controlling football where in essence we lack control in the vital moments

[The View From Block 107 @theviewfrom107]

Not been as active on here but I think last night, just really tipped the edge on where this team is at. There was a moment, probably about a minute before Wolves first goal, we’d just gone 2-0 up, we won the ball on a turnover, energy was up and we had an overload on

[The View From Block 107 @theviewfrom107]

the right, it was so open. We had Timber, Saka and Madueke all on that side, Wolves imbalanced and what did we do? The midfielders completely killed the attack, turned backwards and tried to keep control, killing all momentum. We just completely lack killer instinct to kill bad

Modern premier league football is such a tough watch, from the refs, the tactics, its just such a hard watch…
