With the pre season preparations well under way and the new season approaching quickly it is a good time to assess which Arsenal youngsters could make an impact in the next year. Last season saw the emergence of Hector Bellerin as a first team regular after fellow right back Mathieu Debuchy suffered two long-term injuries […]

Does Wenger secretly believe he can reunite Ozil and Benzema this window?
Well, Arsène Wenger doesn’t seem to be very busy these days; a non-newsflash which could easily create anxiety and worry but instead of sending me straight to a complete meltdown, actually does generate some anticipation and expectation – which are totally unjustified. When I see the man avoiding questions about transfers or drop enigmatic replies, […]
No Rambo. Wilshere or Giroud in my starting 11 as this is the year of Theo!
No Jack, Rambo or Giroud? My ideal starting 11 for 2015/16 Think I can speak for the general population of Arsenal fans that I am genuinely optimistic about the team going in to the 2015/16 season. The squad is the finest it’s arguably been in my lifetime – not even the Invincible’s had the quality […]
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. Since the ever controversial departure of a certain Mr. van Persie, the clubs centre forward role has been one surrounded by debate and often with heavy doses of perhaps unnecessary scrutiny. This transfer window […]
Arsene’s lack of transfer activity should be cheered by Arsenal fans – ‘Victoria Concordia Crescit’
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 […]
We can win the league even without further additions – Chelsea did it with less
“We are not going to challenge unless we buy a DM and that world-class striker. Giroud is not good enough to win us the league, while we are one injury away from using Arteta whose legs have gone”. Apparently Arteta’s legs have left Colney in Diaby’s pockets on his way out, but I’m not here […]
Gio: the unsung Arsenal hero that Thierry rated
Today’s Arsenal unsung hero is a bit of a left-field shout. it is a fair to say that he had a fairly unassuming Arsenal career, and there isn’t really one single standout moment from him wearing the Arsenal colours…but…for me, he was part of one of the most exciting summers that I can remember. He […]
Sorry Aaron but Santi Cazorla, Arsenal’s ‘Hidden Leader’ is the Key to our success and title challenge
When you think of the term leader and Arsenal football club, who are the first names that spring to mind? The aptly named ‘Bosscielny’? The Renaissance man that is Francis Coquelin? Alexis Sanchez? I suppose the Chilean did figuratively ‘carry’ the team in the latter stages of 2014, and we thank our mercurial master for […]
The Explanation for Arteta is ‘Leadership Buy-In’ from the current squad – What makes a Captain?
When news of an extension of Arteta’s contract by one-year surfaced; Arsenal twitter did not disappoint. The WOB used it as ammo to support their cause – further proof that Wenger does not want success because this means a DM will not be signed when we are in dire need of one. The AKB group […]
