Manchester United To win away at Old Trafford is always special for any Arsenal fan. To humiliate them is extra special, and make no mistake, we humiliated United. Their fans must have been crying with embarrassment all the way back to London. The score was a little flattering for United, and but for their goalkeeper […]

So sweet to beat the ‘Tactical Genius’s’ Stoke United at Old Trafford
I’m writing in the aftermath of our first win in eleven games played at Old Trafford, and it’s such a good feeling. It’s been a while since the Arsenal made me feel so good; we have had some great results and we played some great games but this one carries something extra that is […]
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. […]
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 thought I’d check what it was with Uhura this time. It turns out […]

Wenger please don’t embarrass us in the transfer window when we all know what we need!
The winter window is open you know Arsène? You know, the short period of time during which you are allowed to strengthen your squad, add new faces, and cover holes that went somehow unnoticed in the past three years. I reckon those very little issues were hard to identify, however now they came to light […]
Arsene Wenger ASSESSING whether Arsenal NEED to make MORE SIGNINGS to an improved squad for the new season
Arsenal vs Manchester United, February .. 2014.
