When the announcement of the line-up came through yesterday, I was hoping to see two things: Walcott up top, through the middle Jack Wilshere in the center with Santi/Alexis in the wide areas We all know which one of these two we saw. Wenger had recently spoken of finally moving Theo up top, through the […]

Game time for Walcott, Wilshere and Sczcezny at Emirates tonight
We face Sunderland today in what will be the last match in the 37th round of Premier League games. Man, time really flies. One minute you were scrapping a win against Palace with a late Aaron Ramsey winner, next thing you know there are two league games left to play. Luckily for us, we also […]
Arsenal fans like Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson have to investigate the ‘Mysterious Case of the Swansea defeat!’
We’re not allowed to lose one single game, are we? In the exact moment Kevin Friend blew his whistle to sanction a very surprising and unwelcome home defeat against Swansea, the Arsenal world started to crumble. I’m not saying our defeat didn’t really bother me, I reassure you: I am such a sore loser and […]
Arsenal’s Midfield – “It was quite splendid, magnificent, brilliant, thrilling and scintillating”.
What a lovely day it is. Yesterday we’ve: a) secured a 20th consecutive St. Totteringham’s Day (GT Special tribute here) b) secured Champions League football c) overcame one of the hardest hurdles during our run-in (beat away a team fighting to stay up) d) played some magnificent football e) finally, increased the gap on United […]
If only CFC expired as much energy in dealing with accusations of Racism as they have with being Boring and Hull v Arsenal Preview
Team news At this point in time there’s not much to dissect in terms of team news. We didn’t sustain any fresh injures against Chelsea. Our only absentee will be Mathieu Debuchy, who has a bit of hamstring problem, poor fella. On the upside, Arteta and Oxlade may return soon if not for our visit […]
Arsenal are missing the one ‘Special’ Player but who is this exciting Summer Addition? Bale, Reus, Costa,Dybala or Fekir?
Category A game – CFC at home – Big boy football. Cannot help but feel underwhelmed this week but playing big games get you thinking or at least it should do. Now I’ve had time to think a 0-0 at home vs. the new Champions and not doing a MUFC at home (play well […]
Lacazette is the best upgrade on Olivier Giroud – Is he a striker that can win us the league Thierry?
Oh, Thierry. Why would you say all that stuff about Giroud? I honestly don’t know. Olivier Giroud is the best back-to-goal striker in the Premier League – the only others who have the potential to come close are Chelsea’s Diego Costa, Sunderland’s Connor Wickham and Aston Villa’s Christian Benteke, all of whom are, I feel, […]
Have Arsenal taken a big step forward or have City and Liverpool just taken a step backwards?
Chelsea I was expecting us to beat Chelsea at home. I was a little disappointed that we didn’t. That was the first indication that we have progressed this season, or more specifically in the second half of this season. I don’t remember the last time I looked forward to a game against Chelsea. Even at […]

No semi is easy – Team changes, impressive Reading and Martin Twatkinson made this one harder…
That was nerve-racking. Much more than any of us would have liked. After the game I rushed for my validol. I know a couple of my friends who rushed to pubs or their secret alcohol stashes to ease the pressure. But we made it into the final and, first and foremost, I want to clear up […]
