All-Time Greatest Arsenal Home-Grown XI vs Other Clubs XI – can you do better?
I’m sure there are many of you who like me, love to pick your all time best Arsenal eleven. Also like me, I bet you have trouble picking one legendary player over another. I’ve decided to do something a bit different in this piece. I’m going to pick two Arsenal sides with seven substitutions for […]

Thanks to our friends over at EA Sports for this mid-season update. Some interesting stats in here – noticeably the absence of any Arsenal player in the Goalscorers Top 6.

Arsenal 3-3 Liverpool: a rollercoaster ride for neutrals, torture for Gooners
Despite the general gloomy mood with regards to yesterday’s game and result, I can’t shake off an overall positive feeling. This is in sharp contrast with my Twitter timeline, Arsenal blogosphere and the opinions of fans inside the stadium. I can’t quite put my finger on why I’m inclined to feel slightly optimistic. Is it […]

Back to 3,4,3 to pack midfield and ‘Stop Supply to Salah’
Arsenal vs. Liverpool Premier League preview Christmas is near, but will we get an early present by beating the Scousers? We will see. However, Salah looks like the signing of the season, and Klopp is still a quality manager. He’s publicly said that we’re a dangerous team, and both hold numerous similarities. We’re both technical […]
Will Coquelin be drafted in to counter Klopp’s Fab Four? – AFC v LFC
We take on Liverpool today and I can’t say I’m particularly optimistic going into this one. I have watched Klopp’s side dismantle Bournemouth away, with a 4-0 spanking. This was Liverpool’s fourth successive away win by 3 or more goals (4-1 vs West Ham, 3-0 vs Stoke, 5-1 vs Brighton and now 4-0 vs Bournemouth), […]
Extreme? Possibly. Unreasonable? No. A WOB sets the record straight.
This is the response to an article written by a well balanced and very reasonable man, who has an admirable streak of loyalty to friends and people with whom he attaches himself. The article contains references of Arsene Wenger`s loyalty to the club and therefore there is a kind of kindred spirit between him and […]
Wenger to surprise Liverpool with Maitland-Niles at Right Back?
Reflecting on last night’s narrow cup win I find myself considering what the match against West Ham might suggest for Friday’s visit of Liverpool. Who was not selected and whether that means they have now been upgraded to the ‘A’ Team and on last night performances, who pressed their claims to face the Anfield Reds. […]
