Triumph against the Hammers has placed us 6 points under Chelsea for what’s likely to be a very short period. It does have me contemplating what result I desire in tomorrow’s game between Chelsea and Southampton, well to be honest it doesn’t, rarely do I ever want to see Chelsea win and an away victory […]

It’s goodbye to Diaby and I wish it was goodbye to Scholes
Two stories have caught my eye this week… 1 . Never can say goodbye After 3339 days at the club & 1554 days chatting with Doctor Lewin, it looks like Abou is finally being set free. Personally I find this very sad news. I truly believe that Diaby could’ve / should’ve been a […]
For Ozil to truly shine at Old Trafford Cazorla and Giroud should miss out – Big Call!!
Well here we go with a crunch game against United in what could define our season. I say this because the FA Cup is our greatest chance of a trophy but this may also have a mental effect on our league visit to Old Trafford which will be decisive in the top 4 battle. […]
Arsenal’s Counter Attacking style is fast becoming our Plan A – And its working!
Everton I was little worried about the Everton game because I really thought they had a plan for us. I thought it just might work. As it turns out they did have a plan, but it didn’t work at all. More surprising for me was our plan for them. I saw a lot of people […]
The Coq Returns to Roost – Our DM for Good?
(This article was written before Arsenal´s match against Crystal Palace on February 21) In 2015, Francis Coquelin has recorded the most interceptions in Europe and the most tackles in the Premier League – delightfully surprising statistics for a player who appeared on his way out of the Emirates when he was loaned out yet again.

IN GAME MANAGEMENT – When match tactics are wrong you have to adapt during the match and Wenger failed to do so!
. Captain’s Log Star-Date 1,4,6 point 17. Spock thinks we should head to the Phondar system. I wasn’t actually listening to his reasons because the Phonarian ambassador was sitting opposite me. I’ve always had a thing for green girls. With Arsenal, Man U, Liverpool & Spurs, four teams for two places, it’s no tragedy that […]
ONLY Arsenal could have done what they did last night and an Arsenal Legend says ONLY Ox has what his Invincibles had!
Review, Player ratings and Solutions? Bayern at home last season. The intensity of our play our focus until we derailed after 30 minutes with the sending off was amazing. We lost 2-0 but it was Arsenal. It was our team failing with desire purpose and mental focus. What we saw vs Monaco was unprofessional. We […]
New ‘Counter pressing, counter attacking’ Arsenal set to deliver Sucker punches in Europe
It’s that time of the campaign again, when the spotlight is fixed on Arsenal for a number of reasons. A period when observers are either itching to see how the Gunners falter in their title hunt, or watch how Arsene rallies his troops to end a challenging season with a top 4 finish. In this […]
Palace hard press left them exposed at the back & No way back for Theo and Jack!
Captain’s Log star-date 1, 6, 8, 7 point 6. I’ve been in the mood for a cheeseburger for a few weeks now. Not the sort we serve on the ship, a different sort. Maybe with a more exotic meat. Maybe we’ll boldly go and see what the Niberian wilderbeast tastes like. All in the name […]
