The last couple of days saw an interesting discussion spring up: the role of Jack Wilshere in this current team. Does he have any role to play, where does he fit in if so, and what should be done if City comes knocking on our door in the summer? A couple of articles from Gunnerblog, […]

With 23 fit to face LFC who makes your 11 and which 5 not even on the bench? #Squaddepth
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 […]
Walcott can hold a gun to the club’s head again- But is the gun still loaded?
What do you do when someone holds a gun to your head? “I don’t need an agent, because I will never leave Arsenal”. This quote by Jack Wilshere has become iconic. It almost reaches the heights of Adams’ “Play for the name on the front of the shirt, and they’ll remember the name on the back.” […]
The new Arsenal make dominance count with goals like proverbial buses, but more so WITH Ozil
Newcastle I said last week that in theory the Newcastle game should be an easy three points, but that easy games in the league were rare. Well it panned out that scoring the two goals that won the game was easy, and hanging on for the three points afterwards was hard. It felt to me […]
Why do the English Media despise Arsenal as much as they do whilst admiring others who are genuinely failing?
Everyone has the right to give their opinions, they are allowed to talk about it, to write about it and to share their thoughts to people in any way, be it a respectful way. Football in England is still, no doubt one of the best to watch in the world. The rivalry, the tenacity, the […]
Walcott is not competing with Welbeck or Ox for his place in the team but with Alexis Sanchez
Inside Forward vs Wide Midfielder I came across loads of debates concerning Theo Walcott’s involvement in the starting XI, or lack of it shall I say. The majority of us are speculating on why that may be the case, whether it’s due to the stalling of contract negotiations, recent form etc… None of us will […]
Has Wenger’s new kind of tactical flexibility made Arsenal unpredictable and dangerous?
Purely in terms of results, this has actually been a good week. It doesn’t feel like it for obvious reasons, but a 3-0 win and a 2-0 win are good results, not only because of the victories, but the nature of them too. We played very well in both games and rarely looked troubled at […]
For Ozil to truly shine at Old Trafford Cazorla and Giroud should miss out – Big Call!!
Well here we go with a crunch game against United in what could define our season. I say this because the FA Cup is our greatest chance of a trophy but this may also have a mental effect on our league visit to Old Trafford which will be decisive in the top 4 battle. […]
Will Arsenal push QPR further towards the Premier League trap door?
A superb run of nine victories from the last eleven games in all competitions has come at the perfect time of the season for Arsenal who have put themselves in a wonderful position to enjoy success. While the Gunners have a mountain to climb against Monaco in the Champions League and have a FA Cup […]
IN GAME MANAGEMENT – When match tactics are wrong you have to adapt during the match and Wenger failed to do so!
. Captain’s Log Star-Date 1,4,6 point 17. Spock thinks we should head to the Phondar system. I wasn’t actually listening to his reasons because the Phonarian ambassador was sitting opposite me. I’ve always had a thing for green girls. With Arsenal, Man U, Liverpool & Spurs, four teams for two places, it’s no tragedy that […]
