“It is difficult. Even if I had not played a lot last season, in my head I would return to start after my recovery. But, at the Community Shield against Chelsea, Wenger chose him, Bellerin. It was a surprise and a disappointment. Let’s say it [leaving] crossed my mind.”- Mathieu Debuchy. Football is indeed, as […]

The Gunners lack of motivation and desire shows in the Sheffield Wednesday defeat
Although the embarrassing surrender against Sheffield Wednesday signalled the end of our participation in this season’s Capital One Cup and amounted to our heaviest defeat against lower league opposition in fifty six years, bizarrely, numerous Arsenal supporters somehow found positives amongst the debris of our exit, however, as you may have already realised, I wasn’t […]
Sheffield Wednesday thoughts: young guns, old guns and useless guns
Before I say anything else, an important notice: I haven’t watched the game. So everything you are going to read is just my thoughts based on what I heard/read. Don’t expect a tactical breakdown from me. But you can bulk up on one right here. The decision not to watch the game was partly based […]
Gunners can’t afford to come unstuck versus Toffees as injuries mount
Another league game looms large and another tough opponent awaits us. I gotta say Arsenal’s fixture list hardly does us any favours: between two international breaks we face(d) Watford, Bayern Munich (twice), Everton, Swansea, Tottenham and Sheffield Wednesday. All of this inside three weeks, meaning we are forced to play every three days, but the […]
Arsene’s Power of FOUR – The Affinity of FOUR, the Spine of FOUR and ready in FOUR years
In the aftermath of a dream shattering series of four goals scored, FOUR conceded in a combined square up against Liverpool (1-1) and Tottenham (3-3) within FOUR days in April 2011, Arsenal were once again greeted with a campaign that flirted with title success, following FOUR months of sublime attacking football, literally between December 2010 […]
Arsenal WILL be flying the flag for Great Britain at the Euros Mr Pardew
“I saw a headline saying Arsenal are flying the flag for Britain, I kind of wondered where that British involvement actually was when I looked at their team. It’s important that top clubs don’t lose sight of the fact that it’s the English Premier League and English players should be involved.” This infamous quote from […]
Wenger why glorify Champions League Group stage qualification to then dismiss the competition?
Following a convincing three goal victory over Manchester United in our previous outing, it could be said that the interruption of the domestic campaign to accommodate the latest round of international fixtures, could not have come at a worse time for the team but regardless of the impressive nature of our latest three points, our […]
“Wenger needs to change half the team to win the Premier League”
Oh he already has! It has been a very strange opening 3 months of the campaign with some amazing results and some dreadful ones. We have been stunned into disbelief both negatively and positively by our team’s performances, most strikingly in the space of five days with our last two outings. Is the team […]
‘THEO’logy the new Arsenal Religion to have faith in? Directness, Movement and Positional Interchange
An Article about Theo and so much more…….Rotation, Arteta/Flamini and Meltdown! So, I haven’t written for quite a while, almost a month actually! Since my last post, Arsenal beat Stoke comfortably, lost to Zagreb, lost to Chelsea, beat Spurs to qualify for the next round in the League Cup, thrashed the ‘till then undefeated Leicester, […]
Theo settling in, Alexis Banging them in and Arteta still not throwing the towel in – Leicester 2 – Arsenal 5
A month back, almost to the day, I’ve read an interesting article from @7amkickoff which stated, in unequivocal terms, that Arsenal WILL get back to their best, that they WILL become much, much better at finishing the chances they create. The reason was very simple: every team has a certain amount of chances created, shots, […]
