Arsenal fans are missing the point over striker crisis – blaming Giroud achieves nothing. The outcry over Arsenal’s attacking prowess this week has been so demonstrably ill-proportioned that I can’t quite believe it has happened. Wave after wave of unreasonable attacks unleashed upon Olivier Giroud have left a sour taste in the mouth of everybody […]
Still no wins at the Emirates this season, how frustrating! As pointed out by the usually very zealous media outlets, we failed to score at home in five of our last six outings, which is also very frustrating. I think there is enough evidence to say that we *might* need tactical adjustments ahead of the […]
This is not an immediate overreaction to a disappointing result against a top club. (which sounds quite familiar, doesn’t it?) Instead, it’s frustration that can no longer be contained and must be released to prevent a heart attack. Arsenal’s desperate need to buy a new striker is so apparent that my American father, who knows […]
Crystal Palace Last week I wrote this; “…it wouldn’t surprise me if we played narrow again with the intention of forcing them to match our shape.” We did indeed play quite narrow, but with a very specific shape which Andrea suggested was very much like a 4-2-2-2. Watching the game back I began to notice […]
Ozil looks ready to take the Premier League by storm It was one of the biggest transfers in the history of our football club, a deadline day acquisition which had the whole Premier League in shock. Arsenal for once had flexed some financial clout in the market and signed arguably the finest playmaker in the […]

After a slow start to the season, with inconsistent performances home and away, are we finally seeing the best of this Arsenal squad? Last weekend’s 4-1 win against Liverpool was a fantastic performance – maybe the best of the season. Though the opening months of the season weren’t always great to watch, Arséne Wenger was still trying to […]
Actual football returns as we take on Liverpool at the Emirates in what is probably the most important game during the run-in. Win, and we open a nine-point gap on the Mugmashers and maintain at least a seven-point one on Spurs and Southampton. However, Liverpool is a dangerous team to play right now, exactly because […]
I read with interest Alex’s column from Tuesday. I think Theo really needs to up his game in order to stay at Arsenal. I honestly do not think he can up his defensive game to the level required of him as, in my opinion, he doesn’t have the ability to do so. Theo is […]
What do you do when someone holds a gun to your head? “I don’t need an agent, because I will never leave Arsenal”. This quote by Jack Wilshere has become iconic. It almost reaches the heights of Adams’ “Play for the name on the front of the shirt, and they’ll remember the name on the back.” […]
