You Guest It Not terribly long ago, a friend and I were discussing sports movies; Or at least, movies that feature a healthy dose of sports in them. She brought up the movie Fever Pitch and started talking about how much she loved it, which made me smile a bit…until I quickly realised she was […]

Doesn’t do tactics? Arsene Wenger is one of the best, and here’s why
Mr. T’s Nuts About three blogs ago I wrote a piece on Arsene Wenger and the alchemy of coaching players with varying skill levels until he has maximised their potential, before adding a few top class players where needed to complete the squad. It’s the path he has chosen for Arsenal during the austerity years; […]
Gonzalo Higuain or Marouane Fellaini; Why Da Ting Takes So Long To Sign?
What’s The Score?! Welcome to another week of “What’s the score?!” – So Arsenal’s first signing of the transfer window was announced on Monday last, 1st July 2013.

A striker, a winger, a creative midfielder and a goalkeeper to complete Arsenal jigsaw
Considered Cohen With the recent signing of Yaya Sanogo, and the discussion about Gonzalo Higuain and Wayne Rooney, it’s pretty easy to see where Arsene Wenger views needed improvements- in the striker/central forward role. It’s positive to see that Arsenal are strengthening their forward line- a position which the Gunners struggled with at different stages […]
Nicklas Bendtner going, Johan Djourou gone, Lars Bender coming?
Doppelpass The transfer window is open and we are ready to shop. Are we? It seems so as we revealed our first signing in Yaya Sanogo yesterday evening. Ok it’s not what we have wanted as a first big signing. But I think we are on a good way which leads me to my main […]
