Wenger must EVOLVE trusted and multiple PARTNERSHIPS to allow TACTICAL ROTATION
We can all smell it – He can smell it – We are on the verge. It’s now about execution and belief. What does Arsene do now? He has this new wonderful team that is fluid, intelligent and technically arrogant – but also starting to show the mentality required to win. But football has changed. […]
Is Walcott the future Arsenal No.9? – Why we should be more positive about our forward options
Many of Wenger’s critics and indeed Arsenal fans generally are still convinced that the Gunners require a world class centre forward.

Yesterday’s Press Conference (Telegraph agrees with AW) “I believe we have the quality, and it’s now about how much we can be stronger together,” he said. “We have to move forward together, which for me it is more important than dreaming about finding a miraculous player who wins you everything.” Arsène Wenger’s apparent inactivity in […]

The rotation of Cazorla/Wilshere and Ramsey/Ox holds the key to success in 15/16
Arsenal’s 2014/2015 season in many ways has flirted with stability and merited praise. Aside recording back to back cup success, it has ensured sustainability in the team’s form, which sprung to life in the wake of the 2-0 win at the Etihad in January. This could be down to the change in approach (from controlling […]
The Transfer Window is open and Arsenal’s Business is concluded
Yay, Gooners, the transfer window is open! Too bad we already finished our business by signing Petr Čech… Yes, I do believe our squad is complete already: we added a reliable, experienced and the points-winning goalkeeper we have been lacking since David Seaman.
