It’s been a while, Gooners! I’ve been away on holidays and then very, very busy when I got back to work (coincidence?), which hasn’t left me any time to write my usual, weekly column for this wonderful community. I am back and I couldn’t be happier. Although disappointed by the fact that I couldn’t really […]

Zagreb game gives Arsene an opportunity to try out new tactics. Will he be inclined to do it, though?
Ready for a rumble, Gunners? Yesterday’s game proved that the Champions League could be even more surprising than the Premier League – with Manchester City losing at home to Juventus and Manchester United defeated by PSV. Tonight’s game against Dinamo Zagreb will tell a lot about our guys and their mental strength, because we have […]
If Giroud makes you angry then the anger should be reserved for Wenger not the player
I am not the biggest fan of Olivier Giroud, you know it. Many times in the recent past, on this same site, I told you how much in my humble opinion the Arsenal needs a different kind of striker or how much better and option Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck would be, compared to the […]
If Wenger trusts in this squad so will I – Collective Faith must be repaid though
Today’s blog is not about transfers, I am more than glad that the circus left yesterday and I want everyone to go back to football. Once you see that the usually serious BBC asking self-elected Football Manager experts to give their views about the impact of this or that player, based on their saved games, […]
Walcott never will be an impact player against a compact defence but Giroud can be so….
I’ll get straight to the point: can someone explain the logic of substituting Olivier Giroud with Theo Walcott when the opposite team defends well deep into their half? I don’t get it and yet Arsène Wenger does it quite often. At a time in the game that saw us putting some real pressure on Liverpool’s […]
Wisdom of “The Dutch Master” holds the key to Gunners misfiring attack
Still no wins at the Emirates this season, how frustrating! As pointed out by the usually very zealous media outlets, we failed to score at home in five of our last six outings, which is also very frustrating. I think there is enough evidence to say that we *might* need tactical adjustments ahead of the […]
Wenger has switched to a Brazilian 4222 without telling us?
Hi fellow Gooners, I’d like to share some of my thoughts about a very important – although nervy – win at Selhurst Park, would you mind reading this blog? Playing Crystal Palace away from home is not ideal when you are already desperate for a win, therefore I wasn’t utterly confident about us getting the […]
Aaron Ramsey: from Zero to Hero and back again – what does the future hold for the Welshman?
Aaron Ramsey is becoming a very divisive character nowadays. At only 25 years of age, this fella has already endured some very hard times in his career and is likely to get some more stick from fans, especially if Arsène Wenger keeps playing him alongside Francis Coquelin in midfield. I still don’t know what to […]
Wenger eyes adjustments to ‘Width’ and ‘Coordination in Midfield’ ahead of Palace
Hello fellow Gooners, it’s me…again! Double session this week, like the one some of our players would deserve after the horror show last Sunday. Alan Pardew and Crystal Palace are not far away, hence I tried to imagine how Arsène Wenger could spread his men across the pitch: it’s safe to say that some things […]
Even Mid-table Teams Are Buying Stars In The Prem: No Place For Complacency Arsene
Good news guys, I’m not going to talk about the home loss to West Ham. It was ugly and unexpected but it’s past already, none of our moaning or brilliant words of advice will change the result. I’d rather talk about what’s up next: Crystal Palace away, Liverpool at home, Newcastle away, Stoke at home, […]
