With all that has occurred on the weekend we have received good warning that truly anything can happen in the FA Cup. Ever since the Final in may which started to feel like a very long time ago, there’s a feeling that this competition has regained it’s magic. Bigger teams acknowledge the opportunity to win […]
Tag Archives | Theo Walcott
It is the week of Cazorla & Coquelin but is this due to Wenger taking tactical advice from Thierry Henry?
Captain’s Log, star-date 1,1,7,9 point something. I’d been challenged to a Kruz-Na! by the Captain of a Klingon ship and I was ready to fight her to the death, but it turns out that a Kruz-Na! isn’t a battle, it’s something else…something dirty… Manchester City I said last week that a draw […]
Arsenal on course to replace Giroud? A new gunners CF…
While everyone was concerned with which defensive midfielder Arsene was going to get in the summer, I always found time to conduct some extensive research on who could improve our attack; a forward to be precise, but not necessarily a target man. I had so many names, but few were elite-level as the creme of […]
Theo Walcott’s Distinguished Qualities Have Been Missed
With an opportunity to reflect on Theo Walcott’s full return to first team action a week on from the FA Cup test against Hull, the qualities he brings to the side is quite easy to observe. A fully confident Walcott full of match practice may have scored a hat-trick on another day but the rust […]
Match reviews and transfer blues
Captain’s log star-date something something something point 2. I’ve been sitting in my Captain’s chair for 8 hours staring at the stars on the viewscreen. I’m so bored. I want to start a war or something to spice things up. I’m gonna hail the nearest Klingon ship and call them something rude. That’ll liven the […]
Arsenal bounce back v Hull and victory illustrates Wenger’s options for EPL
While a January 1 defeat at the hands of Southampton quelled some of the momentum Arsenal generated throughout December, the 2-0 FA Cup win over Hull City may have gotten the Gunners back on track. And once again, it was thanks in large part to some nice contributions from bench players. The focus, in January, […]
7 Points from 4 – It could have been a whole lot worse!
Captain’s Log, star-date new year new me. Scotty pointed out that I’ve put on a few pounds over the last few weeks, so I’ve decided to hit the gym. In other news Scotty’s shore leave has been cancelled for the duration of our 5 year mission. 7 points from 4 games. That’s about right for […]
Is Arsenal’s Defence truly that bad or is it the goals for that should cause concern?
Yesterday I was having a chat via Twitter with a fellow Gooner and serial podcaster, known on the internet as @RamblinGooner, about the upcoming winter transfers window and how Arsène Wenger will strengthen our squad. Will he sign a defender? Will he sign a defensive midfielder? Will he sign both? Then suddenly I found myself […]
Arsenal MUST DROP these TWO players to help fill the void of a defensive midfielder and stay creative
First, I must point out that I’m a man of diverse opinions. I try to dissect each Arsenal game I watch, and due to the awesome uniqueness of these matches, there are often new observations. Although I still believe so much in 4-1-4-1 and its endless benefits for this current Arsenal side, the lack of […]
Arsene Wenger ASSESSING whether Arsenal NEED to make MORE SIGNINGS to an improved squad for the new season
Arsenal vs Manchester United, February .. 2014. We had just lost heavily to Liverpool and were given the chance to produce a roaring response against a team who had been having a poor season by their standards. Basically, the game was there to be won. But we played a frustrating goalless draw and didn’t create […]
