I’m sure there are many of you who like me, love to pick your all time best Arsenal eleven. Also like me, I bet you have trouble picking one legendary player over another. I’ve decided to do something a bit different in this piece. I’m going to pick two Arsenal sides with seven substitutions for […]
Cloning players from the past….who could do it in the current era and team? Comparing eras is a fallacy, really. The 1970s had its unique parameters that don’t apply now. They had really shitty pitches, but largely since 3G pitches didn’t exist, nor was the technology for virtually unbroken pitches widespread back then. It’s the […]
As Arsenal fans, we have been witness to some truly brilliant footballers. Ones that led with their advanced footballing IQs through and an innate awareness of space. These players could truly read the game around them. While many feel we lack overt leaders on the pitch who will tear into a teammate or opposition, I […]

Wenger’s supposed tactical ineptitude is a bugbear of many. I can agree, somewhat. Though in my mind, it’s more about stubbornness than ineptitude. Wenger DOES do tactics. He can change things up.

Just a short jaunt back in the time machine, to the year 2000 for this week’s Highbury Hero, when Arsene Wenger paid £6,000,000 for one of our French Musketeers, the brilliant technically gifted, wide attacking midfielder Super Robert Pires. Robert had a very distinctive running style, slightly splayed feet with his mane of black hair […]

Thierry Henry is and always will be regarded as one of the greatest players to every grace these isles. Both opposition players and fans enjoyed watching him score goal after goal for Arsenal.
