It is what it is! – It’s one of those phrases/sayings I’m not sure I really like! When some people say it I don’t mind it, but some people use it all too frequently in the vocabulary fashion world. It has lost its excitement to me, just like people wearing Ralph Lauren polo shirts in […]

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 […]
To win the League we MUST to add to the 71 goals scored last campaign – But how?
On the eve of post deadline day hysteria I started on a piece about our striking options without bringing anyone in. The gist of it being is that, for the team to progress, Welbeck would be our best option at ‘nine’ given his physical attributes and, compared to Ollie and Theo, he has a greater […]
No Welbeck No Worries – Arsenal’s striking options if Giroud is not to be Plan A.
Transfer window woes Less than a day after the transfer window slammed shut with Arsenal failing to make any further purchases, a statement regarding Danny Welbeck’s health was issued on the official website. Unfortunately, the news was far from heartwarming, as it turned out Danny’s injury required surgery. a surgery which took place during the […]
The Morning after the Night before – More Squad questions than answers Monsieur Wenger?
Hi All, I had to write this for cathartic reasons!! So, the transfer window light has been flicked off and we are shufflling out of the other side blinking, squinting and staring into the new dawn. On the face of it, Arsenal have a nice, solid looking squad of twenty six. Goalkeepers – Cech, Ospina and presumably […]
Newcastle review: Theo underachieves as the Gunners get the points
Like I said before the game, away days at St. James park are always hard. Yes, we still manage to win there, but our last three meetings with the Toons (now four) finished with a solitary goal to separate the two teams: 1-0, 2-1, 1-0 and 1-0. However, there are different kinds of hard. Yesterday’s […]
Koscielny on track to return and partner Gabriel as Gunners look to secure a vital away win
We face Newcastle today and, once again, we badly need to win the game. It’s kind of funny to be in such a position 3 games in, but our less than spectacular start ensured we need a second away win in a row. Interestingly enough, we have a very good record away from home: 6 […]
Speed – Does Wenger use it effectively for Arsenal at present and if not should he?
There is an image in my head and often on the TV that makes me wonder whether Arsenal will score a goal. It’s the situation where the opponent is structured with eight players in defensive positions. Four at the back with four ringed in front of them. Arsenal are passing the ball around the perimeter […]
Ramsey and Theo or Ox and Giroud? – The decisions ahead of Liverpool’s visit
This evening Arsenal return to the Emirates for a blockbuster clash against Liverpool. No matter what our thoughts on the opposition are it’s always a big game given the history of the 2 clubs. In the same fixture last season we gave Liverpool a footballing lesson spanking them 4:1! I don’t expect tonight’s game to […]
Wenger “If you want to have a successful season you want to be strong at home” – Time to show it v LFC
It’s Liverpool at the Emirates today and I’m cautiously optimistic about the outcome of this game. Not so much because we demonstrated brilliant football in the first two games (though our first half against Palace was pretty damn inspiring), but because Liverpool simply don’t look up to scratch. They’ve won the first two games, however […]
