Last week I wrote about Flamini’s huge impact as a result of the instillment of fighting spirit. This week I look to address the tactical dilemma that has arisen now that Arteta, who previously occupied the defensive midfield/pivot role, is back to full fitness. I want to look at whether it is necessary for both […]

Arsenal win Continental Cup Final – Frustration, determination and jubilation
Today Anushree has invited Emmet McEvoy to return and report on the Ladies Continental Cup Final. (@emmetmcevoy) Frustration, determination and jubilation. Three words that adequately describe Arsenal Ladies’ Continental Cup final win against Lincoln last Friday. For 75 minutes the match was worryingly reminiscent of the two Women’s Super League encounters as the Gunners just […]
Cigarettes, Rotation and Away win records – WBA Away Preview
Ry’s Match Previews Before we go into our match preview for West Brom I’d like to express my disgust in Jack Wilshere. How can he as a role model, a leader of the team and the brightest midfielder in England (in my opinion) do something as despicable as he has? I don’t want him in […]
Arsenal’s Wojciech Szczesny shines as Manchester City’s Joe Hart fluffs his lines
Michael Jeffares Column In the midst of our fantastic run it’s easy to undervalue the performance of particular players and ogle at the performances of Mesut Ozil, Olivier Giroud, Aaron Ramsey or Mathieu Flamini, yet there’s one player who I think has flown under the radar whilst showing a massive improvement in his performances. I’d […]
Is this man Arsene Wenger’s best signing for Arsenal in recent years?
Weekly Education Off the back of a great win against Napoli on Tuesday which included one of the best 30 minutes of football I’ve seen us play in years, I am on top of the world as I’m sure all of us Gooners are. So, in keeping with the happy-go-lucky mood, this week is all […]
Arsenal’s Main Man; A tribute to you, you were right all along
Anna’s Monthly Musings After an extremely long pause in blogging (which is pretty much a norm by now) here I am ready to share my thoughts with my esteemed readers (I sincerely hope someone is reading this). I gave it some serious thought before I decided what my next topic will be. Well, not really […]
Total change in midfield 3 from Arteta, Wilshere and Roscicky to Flamini, Ramsey and Ozil
The Michael Jeffares Column The positivity rumbles on for another week and it’s great to see the side brimming with self belief in every game. That said at the end of the Stoke game it was notable that two of our players sat down on due to pure exhaustion – Giroud and Ramsey. Two players […]
Did Arsene Wenger drop a clanger by not signing this Gilberto Silva replacement for Arsenal?
The Ones Who Got Away This blog piece is the third in the series “The Ones Who Got Away”, following on from entries on Franck Ribery and Yann M’Vila. While the previous two players are rather well known, one for his skill on the ball and the other perhaps more for his long running […]
Arsenal striker returns to prove doubters wrong
Weekly Education This week I tell a short tale. I tell a tale of a not-yet great Dane who after two years absence is in search of redemption. So I start with the mad, disheveled Viking from the land which gave us delicious pastries and beautiful blonde-haired women. After showing a fair amount of promise […]
No Pun In Ten Did – Arsenal vs Stoke preview
Ry’s Match Previews 10 successive away day victories for The Gunners has broken our club record. Not content with just winning, we’ve also kept six clean sheets on our travels. And they said our defence was the problem. After another away win this time courtesy of Marseille, we travel back to The Emirates to face […]
