I’m pretty sure that Andrea’s blog from yesterday about who will cover Chelsea’s main danger man and attacking threat Eden Hazard, due to the absence of Diego Costa, Drogba and Remy, was pretty much spot-on (I’d go with Debuchy at right-back and Cazorla at right midfield with the personnel available but Debuchy with Oxlade-Chamberlain would […]

The good news came in yesterday: Mathieu Débuchy, Mikel Arteta and Jack Wilshere are all ready to battle for a place in the squad that will face Liverpool on Saturday. With Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain ready to follow in their footsteps next week already, players are going to take internal competition to the next level: making at least […]
Wenger should persuade Rosicky & Arteta to stay this summer as Squad Mentors
Or are we still not a club for ‘Old men’ Arsene? Could the end of this season see a huge portion of our midfielders leave? Tomas Rosicky has recently said he considered leaving the Arsenal in January , stating also that he will think about it again next summer; Mathieu Flamini and Abou Diaby will […]
Coquelin should play alongside a DM rather than be the DM next season?
I’m the kind of writer who ‘jumps’ into conclusion, probably due to the desire to deliver and share my thoughts, while an observation is still fresh and there to be picked on. This perhaps hastily drives me to inferences that sometimes need polishing ‘here and there’. But make no mistake, I ultimately get the job […]

It’s goodbye to Diaby and I wish it was goodbye to Scholes
Two stories have caught my eye this week… 1 . Never can say goodbye After 3339 days at the club & 1554 days chatting with Doctor Lewin, it looks like Abou is finally being set free. Personally I find this very sad news. I truly believe that Diaby could’ve / should’ve been a […]
Exclusive tales from the Arsenal Treatment Room with Matthieu and Mikel- Unbelievable!!
So, as we approach the final throes of the transfer window, we’ve actually gone and signed a CB (that’s what they’re officially called now – the acronyms have completely taken over…) in the form of Gabriel Paulista from Villarreal. Arsene had already thrown a total curveball in his Friday presser and admitted that negotiations […]

Can a fit Abou Diaby be Arsenal’s new Defensive Shield?
Arsenal is a team who will always have to defend counter-attacks, and aim to halt other offensive teams in their tracks, especially with the recently adopted 4-1-4-1 formation. But they would hardly achieve that with a stagnant anchor or a clumsy screener in the middle of the park. A different route might have to be […]
