“Arsenal don’t have any squad depth!” That must be the reason why today it’s virtually impossible to pick a starting XI without leaving out one or two excellent players. Mesut Özil and Theo Walcott made their comebacks recently, Aaron Ramsey did the same a bit earlier while, with perfect timing, Santi Cazorla, Tomas Rosicky and […]

Francis Coquelin, the next Gilberto?
Francis Coquelin was a leader for Arsenal at Manchester City (just a month after playing for Charlton)… Arsène Wenger may have found his new Gilberto Silva – Matt Morlidge for The Daily Mail, January, 19th Don’t get me wrong, Francis Coquelin had a fantastic game at Manchester City last weekend. He was superb in […]
Wenger please don’t embarrass us in the transfer window when we all know what we need!
The winter window is open you know Arsène? You know, the short period of time during which you are allowed to strengthen your squad, add new faces, and cover holes that went somehow unnoticed in the past three years. I reckon those very little issues were hard to identify, however now they came to light […]
A Farewell to Podolski- Regrets? I have a few
Lukas Podolski has completed his loan move to Inter Milan, where he will spend the next six months before leaving the Arsenal permanently. His career in London is all but over, shall we have any regret seeing this world champion leaving? I don’t have any. Honestly, I am not dazzled by his goal-scoring record; he […]
If Alexis Sanchez goes to the top, the Arsenal goes to the top – That Simple?
Ten goals in the league, four in Europe and one in the only game played in the league cup. On the top of that, seven assists delivered in all competitions so far. I’m pretty sure Adrian Durham is working on finding a way to label Alexis Sanchez as a failure, somehow, or include him into […]
Dear Santa, please give Arsene Wenger his “thing” back at Arsenal
Dear Santa, I have been quite a good lad this year: I’ve been patient despite the fact that we have given away 11 points so far in the Premier League; I’ve looked for positives in troubled times, even when we conceded late, late goals in the most predictable way ever; I kept the faith when […]
Arsenal don’t make the same mistake with Henry that you made with Vieira please!
Thierry Henry has retired, in case the news hasn’t been covered extensively enough. The news broke yesterday, courtesy of the King himself, and spread a tornado of statistics, numbers and figures which were created to prove us how great the man has been. As if anyone who has seen Thierry Henry playing needed statistics to […]
Alexis Sanchez, Theo Walcott, Mesut Ozil and an undecided striker will transform Arsenal into a different animal
Here we are, the treatment room is getting empty and players are slowly coming back. That’s quite a strange feeling, isn’t it? After months spent with horrific shortages within the squad, it seems we are finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Bar Abou Diaby, Jack Wilshere and Serge Gnabry […]
Please come in Mr Klopp!
Saturday evening, straight after the final whistle, fans were already voicing their opinions on the internet; among all kind of delicate words threw at Arsène Wenger, one clear message was directed to the board: bring Jürgen Klopp in! Replace the old Frenchman with the passionate, beardy German fellow who is doing wonders at Borussia Dortmund. […]
Is Arsenal’s Defence truly that bad or is it the goals for that should cause concern?
Yesterday I was having a chat via Twitter with a fellow Gooner and serial podcaster, known on the internet as @RamblinGooner, about the upcoming winter transfers window and how Arsène Wenger will strengthen our squad. Will he sign a defender? Will he sign a defensive midfielder? Will he sign both? Then suddenly I found myself […]
