It’s that time of the campaign again, when the spotlight is fixed on Arsenal for a number of reasons. A period when observers are either itching to see how the Gunners falter in their title hunt, or watch how Arsene rallies his troops to end a challenging season with a top 4 finish. In this […]

Ozil and Walcott – The Exciting combination we have been waiting for?
One of my bad habits is always reflecting on the past, in relation to what’s going on in the present and what could happen in the future. It sometimes proves to be more complex to understand, but in most cases helps me to connect the dots. We’ve had dozens of eras in Arsene Wenger’s time […]
Arsenal on course to replace Giroud? A new gunners CF…
While everyone was concerned with which defensive midfielder Arsene was going to get in the summer, I always found time to conduct some extensive research on who could improve our attack; a forward to be precise, but not necessarily a target man. I had so many names, but few were elite-level as the creme of […]
A Defensive Bully like Matic is not Arsenal’s answer! What is?
I like to clear things up so I’ll start by saying I’m not trying to defend Arsene as I’m still baffled at how he refused to bring in a top quality shield in the summer, especially since we seem to favour 4-1-4-1. However, the issue of Arsenal needing a defensive midfielder has been somewhat overrated […]
Arsenal MUST DROP these TWO players to help fill the void of a defensive midfielder and stay creative
First, I must point out that I’m a man of diverse opinions. I try to dissect each Arsenal game I watch, and due to the awesome uniqueness of these matches, there are often new observations. Although I still believe so much in 4-1-4-1 and its endless benefits for this current Arsenal side, the lack of […]
Time to stick with the winning team for today – Stick with Pace, power, skill and Precision?
Arsene Wenger has surprisingly not been too rigid to experiment during the start of a crucial season, with new systems and new players given time to strike a balance, and the dividends seem to be paying off now. Unlike last season’s chemistry between Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud which got the best out […]
Can a fit Abou Diaby be Arsenal’s new Defensive Shield?
Arsenal is a team who will always have to defend counter-attacks, and aim to halt other offensive teams in their tracks, especially with the recently adopted 4-1-4-1 formation. But they would hardly achieve that with a stagnant anchor or a clumsy screener in the middle of the park. A different route might have to be […]
Arsene Wenger CORRECTLY STICKING to Arsenal’s 4-1-4-1 system as Mesut Ozil show signs of his BETTER form
In-between games against Manchester City in the Community Shield and Premier League, Arsenal have begun the season in a somewhat unfamiliar fashion, often struggling to impress fans and observers alike. You could call it a false start, but the Gunners aren’t going to be disqualified from any competition anytime soon. Instead, this period has been […]
Arsene Wenger to cash in on Arsenal’s Premier League advantage and revert to old system for new era of dominance
2013/2014 was an eye-opener for Arsenal in many ways. The requirements for winning a trophy were clearly understood, while the elements to mount and successfully end a title assault were acutely made manifest. Eventually, the Gunners lost that league battle to Manchester City, who in my opinion, began a new era of dominance through endless […]
Arsene Wenger WON’T DROP Olivier Giroud until Alexis Sanchez settles and Theo Walcott returns for Arsenal
Forget the off season and the World Cup, ignore the long summer break. The season isn’t just starting but nearing its business end. For now, that’s the mentality Arsenal need to possess. A mentality that makes us believe the 2013/2014 campaign is only just drawing to a close. That should give us the momentum we […]
