It feels like quite a bit since we’ve won a game of football comprehensively. So it was really nice to not fret about the result for most of the second half and just lazily follow the action. I was worried going into the game. On top of Swansea being a tricky opponent for the Gunners […]

Bring Me Sunshine & Blame Alexis….The Arsenal Drama Continues……..
Well, it has certainly been a while since I last wrote. Such a while that I’m not sure it should be called a diary anymore, because if there were a blogging version of the Trade Description Act I would be hauled before the Office of Fair Blogging for being in breach of the Blog Description […]
Wenger’s Current Arsenal has lost it’s pace – We feel the need for the return of Speed
Athleticism -And The Need for Speed I always say when you watch football we all watch from our own personal structures or values. What do you mean Clive?….. I hear you cry… In my opinion we are all formed in a football way by our own individual exposure to the game, our memories of our […]
It is not whether Ollie G is Plan A or B but about selecting an attack for Opposition A or B
With the incorporation of Alexis, Lucas, Giroud, Ozil, Iwobi, Xhaka and Ramsey all in the same attack at various points of a game I think we can agree that this is our best attack for quite a few years.

Arsenal’s route to the Champions League final
Arsenal’s route to the Champions League final Back in May 2006, Arsenal were just 14 minutes away from winning the Champions League for the first time. Talismanic defender Sol Campbell had nodded the Gunners in front before half-time against Barcelona, despite a red card for goalkeeper Jens Lehmann in the 18th minute; Arséne Wenger’s side […]

The Evolution of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez and their Arsenal roles
Evolution always has positive and negative effects in every form. Take Orcas discovering Great White sharks can become a tasty snack. It was discovered off the Farallon islands, Orca’s ram the oceans most feared predator in the side to flip them on their backs which brings about ‘tonic immobility’ making the shark go into a […]
