Review, Player ratings and Solutions? Bayern at home last season. The intensity of our play our focus until we derailed after 30 minutes with the sending off was amazing. We lost 2-0 but it was Arsenal. It was our team failing with desire purpose and mental focus. What we saw vs Monaco was unprofessional. We […]

New ‘Counter pressing, counter attacking’ Arsenal set to deliver Sucker punches in Europe
It’s that time of the campaign again, when the spotlight is fixed on Arsenal for a number of reasons. A period when observers are either itching to see how the Gunners falter in their title hunt, or watch how Arsene rallies his troops to end a challenging season with a top 4 finish. In this […]
Arsenal’s relationship with itself – an epic in the making.
As within any community or family the strength of the whole is driving by the bonds and relationships within – For the business end of the season the Gunners team now has these relationships and understandings. A sincere apology is without a doubt in order. Last time we spoke was around September of last year. […]
Whatever happened to Arsenal’s famous ‘British Core’ and is it set to be reduced this summer?
On December, 19th 2012 Arsène Wenger announced to the world that five young British fellas had signed new long-term contracts with the Arsenal; one month later, on January, 18th, Theo Walcott did the same after months of speculations and rumors about him agreeing to do a van Persie and join Liverpool or Manchester United. […]
Is it Crazy to say this Arsenal squad could win the Premier League? Maybe Not!
“Arsenal don’t have any squad depth!” That must be the reason why today it’s virtually impossible to pick a starting XI without leaving out one or two excellent players. Mesut Özil and Theo Walcott made their comebacks recently, Aaron Ramsey did the same a bit earlier while, with perfect timing, Santi Cazorla, Tomas Rosicky and […]
It is the week of Cazorla & Coquelin but is this due to Wenger taking tactical advice from Thierry Henry?
Captain’s Log, star-date 1,1,7,9 point something. I’d been challenged to a Kruz-Na! by the Captain of a Klingon ship and I was ready to fight her to the death, but it turns out that a Kruz-Na! isn’t a battle, it’s something else…something dirty… Manchester City I said last week that a draw […]
Ahead of City today continuity is surely the key – Who’d have thought it would be Coquelin plus 1?
As the Premier league champions await us on a tricky away trip to City, it’s key that we look to get something out the game to really get our season rolling for the 800th time. Personally I try to no longer get my hopes up for games against the big teams because so many times […]
Theo Walcott’s Distinguished Qualities Have Been Missed
With an opportunity to reflect on Theo Walcott’s full return to first team action a week on from the FA Cup test against Hull, the qualities he brings to the side is quite easy to observe. A fully confident Walcott full of match practice may have scored a hat-trick on another day but the rust […]
Arsenal enjoy Christmas wins, a new midfield combi and target Winston Reid
Captain’s Log, star-date post Christmas. Chekov got me Taylor Swift’s album for Christmas as revenge for beaming his tree into space. Joke’s on him though, I FUCKING LOVE IT!!! QPR I expected the win. We got the win. Even with 10 men we did well. I don’t know what Giroud was thinking but he’s made […]
Bouldie sat them all down and our Christmas present is 1 Nil to the Arsenal
Captain’s Log star date nearly Christmas. Spock says he has no emotion, and that I should bother buying him anything, but he said the same thing last year and when I didn’t get him a gift the Vulcan pinched me in the balls. 3 wins in a row, but more importantly, 3 clean sheets. A lots has […]
