All Fall Down! – The Transfer Domino Effect
What’s the Score?! Welcome to another week of “What’s the score?!” – After a week off, albeit in the capable hands of @invinciblog who wrote a fabulous piece on the Suarez Dilemma, I wanted to continue on from my article a couple of weeks ago, when I wrote about the complex matter of transfers and […]
Luis Suarez to Arsenal? NO THANK YOU!
Michael Jeffares Column Well, what a welcome relief it has been to see Arsenal back in action. No more rumours, concentrating solely on performances on the field and we have won back to back games away from home. Sadly that is not reality, nor is it September. The rumour mill is now in full on […]
Thomas Vermaelen, Mikel Arteta; Do Arsenal really need a captain?
Weekly Education Over the past few seasons Arsenal have had many a short-term captain, but not a stable, long-term leader. This is partially down to the fact that our captains have been sold one after the other for the past six or seven years, however there was also one horrific choice of captain in William […]
Arsene no more excuses it is time to deliver
Considered Cohen With all the reports suggesting that there is a large amount of money available to be spent in the transfer kitty, of at least £70m, the time has come for Arsene Wenger to bring Arsenal back to the lofty heights of close to ten years ago. With the club having to pay off […]
Arsene Wenger: World Class Motivator, Tactician or Both? It has to be Both…

I explained why I felt that he’s hugely underrated in this department, and gave an analogous explanation to hopefully highlight the tactical differences between Wenger and his peers. This article was my opinion and mine only. I […]
Arsenal’s Player Power Rankings 2012/13
Michael Jeffares Column So our players are headed to Jakarta to start our pre-season Asian Tour, so I thought this would be a good time to introduce a feature I have wanted to run with for some time – Power Rankings. It’s mainly an American concept but it’s spreading throughout football and it can be […]

Doesn’t do tactics? Arsene Wenger is one of the best, and here’s why
Mr. T’s Nuts About three blogs ago I wrote a piece on Arsene Wenger and the alchemy of coaching players with varying skill levels until he has maximised their potential, before adding a few top class players where needed to complete the squad. It’s the path he has chosen for Arsenal during the austerity years; […]
Gonzalo Higuain or Marouane Fellaini; Why Da Ting Takes So Long To Sign?
What’s The Score?! Welcome to another week of “What’s the score?!” – So Arsenal’s first signing of the transfer window was announced on Monday last, 1st July 2013. Yaya Sanogo is now officially an Arsenal player. He is certainly talented despite his young age, and Arsène Wenger is probably the best at scouting young talent from France as his […]
