It’s always been about Aaron – I have the feeling that the Wenger team of 2015’s potential is wrapped up in one man. Does that scare you – It does me!! Bit dramatic you say Clive – well let me get you thinking!! For me the most important player in the Wenger era was […]

A slight change to WHAT IF… Wenger always knew But…… Sh.t happened!!
Been hectic times for me, so haven’t had the opportunity to chat with all you lovely, happy/moany/angry Arsenal fans. I started a piece at the beginning of December, and, funnily enough, the topic still stands today. Even though, I feel had I sent it our at the start of December I would have received my […]
Exclusive tales from the Arsenal Treatment Room with Matthieu and Mikel- Unbelievable!!
So, as we approach the final throes of the transfer window, we’ve actually gone and signed a CB (that’s what they’re officially called now – the acronyms have completely taken over…) in the form of Gabriel Paulista from Villarreal. Arsene had already thrown a total curveball in his Friday presser and admitted that negotiations […]
Is it Crazy to say this Arsenal squad could win the Premier League? Maybe Not!
“Arsenal don’t have any squad depth!” That must be the reason why today it’s virtually impossible to pick a starting XI without leaving out one or two excellent players. Mesut Özil and Theo Walcott made their comebacks recently, Aaron Ramsey did the same a bit earlier while, with perfect timing, Santi Cazorla, Tomas Rosicky and […]

2 wins in 2 makes it an inappropriate time to maintain my stance on the boss so I’m going to highlight something different this week. A little situation I’ve observed at Arsenal is that when world class players are at the club it brings the best out of our promising younger players that also have […]
Good King Wenger he looked out as we played United – Early Christmas Special :-)
New Lyrics to be sung to the tune of the well known Christmas Carol, Good King Wenceslas – Good King Wenger he looked out when we played United, when the players lay round about, no defence was sighted. Brightly shone the Ox that night, though the rest were pony, when a poor Bould came in […]

Can a fit Abou Diaby be Arsenal’s new Defensive Shield?
Arsenal is a team who will always have to defend counter-attacks, and aim to halt other offensive teams in their tracks, especially with the recently adopted 4-1-4-1 formation. But they would hardly achieve that with a stagnant anchor or a clumsy screener in the middle of the park. A different route might have to be […]
