If you had to pick a flaw in Arsene Wenger’s attribute profile it would have to be his stubbornness when things are going wrong. In recent years Arsene has become more and more stubborn when things aren’t quite going Arsenal’s way, however, more often than not he does prove people wrong. But pushing ten years without […]

Where the trophy drought could have ended
Arsenal’s trophy seven year trophy drought has become the Most Famous Trophy Drought English Football Has Ever Know (TM). Of course, it isn’t, but you wouldn’t think that with the way a lot of fans talk about it. It is because Arsenal once won trophies regularly and for many to see a ‘big’ club, as it were, […]
Variety is the spice of life
Theo Walcott has been very vocal in his belief that he should play a central striker role in Arsene Wenger’s 4-3-3 system. The England international has even cited it as one of the reasons that he has been hesitant in signing a contract extension with Arsenal but that is simply a smokescreen as we all know that […]
The mystery of Andrey Arshavin
There are some characters in the Premier League. Man City’s Mario Balotelli springs to mind, of course, and is as eccentric as they come, his list of misdemeanors now infamous in football folklore. Djibrill Cisse of QPR is pretty bonkers, too. Andei Arshavin is up near the top in terms of craziest in league and if you don’t believe me […]
Why Roy Hodgson has made the wrong decision
What exactly is the point of these international friendlies? We have only just been released from the prison that was the previous international break for World Cup qualifiers and now Sepp Blatter wants to inflict more pain on us with some friendlies. Anyway, Roy Hodgson named the England squad that will face Sweden next week […]
Where does Aaron Ramsey fit in at Arsenal? (Video)
With the spotlight now firmly on Jack Wilshere, who is making his return from injury after 14 months out, what is next for Arsenal team-mate Aaaron Ramsey? The former Wales captain had a horrific injury of his own to overcome in 2010 and, whilst he may not have been out of action for quite as long as […]
Bacary Sagna: the War Horse
Arsenal’s Bacary Sagna is one of my favourite players in the Premier League. He never leaves anything less than 100% on the pitch and despite breaking his leg twice (!) last season he has successfully rehabilitated and made his return. He is the best right back in the league, too. Strong in the air, brilliant […]
Could Marouane Chamakh be set for a re-birth?
Stop sniggering in the back in the back, but could it be time for Arsenal’s misfit Moroccan striker to make his return from the shadows and help save the Gunners’ flagging season? Yes of course, we are talking about a man who started only one Premier League game in the whole of last season, scoring once in […]
Why Andre Santos can become an Arsenal force
In recent weeks and days it has become rather easy to lambast and ridicule Arsenal’s Brazilian full-back Andre Santos. In brutal honesty, his performances at left-back since Kieran Gibbs’ injury have been nothing short of disastrous. WTTGT
Liverpool move could be just what Theo needs
Hear me out. When Theo Walcott first arrived at Arsenal from Southampton he was billed as the next big thing. I know he is only 23 and has a few years to go before he hits his prime but for me he hasn’t yet developed into the top level player we all hoped he would become. WTTGT
