Athleticism -And The Need for Speed I always say when you watch football we all watch from our own personal structures or values. What do you mean Clive?….. I hear you cry… In my opinion we are all formed in a football way by our own individual exposure to the game, our memories of our […]
I have seen much talk about Arsenal and in reality Wenger’s ability to alter his approach to secure results, ideally wins, against what can described as ‘the other big clubs’. I hesitate to say title rivals because I am far from certain at present that we are that. As so often is the case our […]

There was a time I used to write many an article about tactics and formations and many of them were about the possibility of Wenger’s Arsenal returning to a 442 system, or a variation of it. If I am honest I gave up for a few years partly because I was continually told that 442, […]
I have not been around much nor have I written much but since my interview with the Bournemouth blogger about Wilshere, Jack had been on my mind.

Of course I have already been told on social media that I am not qualified to comment on or question the decisions of Arsene Wenger but […]
Given the Bellerin news and today being the day of the Poppy, last night my tired mind drifted to the Debuchy and for some reason the story of the Scarlet Pimpernel. The Pimpernal a flower not disimilar to a Poppy and our French right back as elusive and hard to find. We may need him […]
I was involved in a rather depressing and thought provoking conversation on Monday on the Footballtasitically Arsenal podcast. The cause of the depression or enlightenment perhaps was Alan Alger from Betway.
