How the new Stylistically Flexible Wenger might line Arsenal up to win all the key remaining fixtures
Our last two games have been a breath of fresh air for Arsenal fans. A new formation, two wins, and the sense of optimism that we can adapt stylistically to an ever-evolving Premier League. While the 3-4-2-1 formation is gaining the majority of the recognition, and rightly so, my eyes have been telling me that […]
Wenger – Once a Trendsetter himself but now a Follower of Football Fashion
Arsene Wenger in the last week is finally following the football fashion where once he set it by becoming the 17th Premier League manager to play a 3 at the back system in 2016/17. This made me think of a series of 4 articles I write on my old site in the summer of 2015 […]
We’re the Famous 343 and we’re going to Wemberlee!! – Wenger Gambles and wins big
As Aguero dinked his shot over Cech, who somehow managed to get smaller in size as the Argentinian ran at him, rage started to swell inside me. Up to this point the system chosen by Arsene Wenger was working. It wasn’t flawless, and indeed Arsenal got lucky when Aguero’s half-time goal was ruled inadmissible, but […]
To 352 or not to 352 Mr Wenger? – That is the FA Cup Semi Final Question
We face Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-final today, and, given it’s the only trophy we have any chance of winning this season, I would be delighted to see our players fired up for the occasion. However these last three months have knocked any hope out of me. In fact, we haven’t played good […]
Wenger In or Wenger Out – We can still respect each other and back The Arsenal

Tomorrow our beloved Gunners will walk out at Wembley in an FA Cup Semi Final with so much […]
More than a Formation Change, Arsenal needs an Intervention
Hello Gooners, I hope you are satisfied with the win at the Riverside Stadium, although the performance wasn’t as convincing as it should have been. There’s been a lot of talk about Arsène Wenger’s decision to play three centre-halves and two wing-backs, a lot of people were surprised by this sudden change and so was […]
The Power Card: Do Arsenal Hold An Ace Up Their Sleeve?
Do Arsenal have an ace up their sleeve waiting to be played? It’s no secret, Arsenal Football Club is a sporting entity that runs itself differently. This contrast lies in the inordinate amount of decision-making placed in the hands of the manager while the Board and organizational personnel handle matters behind the scenes. The irony […]
Remembering Arsenal’s Senegalese Powerhouse and Highbury Hero
This week’s trip down memory lane takes us back to 1996 when a young French colossus made a stunning debut changing the game for The Arsenal, when coming on as a substitute to dominate the midfield, which he continued to do for nine fantastically successful years. One of the first names on my team sheet […]

Football has changed – can Arsenal keep up?
ARSENAL CIRCULAR 170 APRIL 2017 We need a break from the Wenger IN Wenger OUT. The arguments have been well rehearsed and repeated and I have made my own views clear on Twitter @arsenalcircular so I thought it useful to reflect on past highs and lows and how they were handled. But “context is everything”. […]
