Who will win the battle of the Arsenal Right Backs?
Not so long ago, in a Galaxy far far away a similar article was written on this very subject. Sky Sports decided to cast their rather wealthy eyes over Arsenal’s right back options: would it be Sagna, Eboue, or Hoyte chosen by Wenger to start the 07/08 season? They chose Hoyte. Yes, you heard. They […]

Mathieu Flamini is not as bad as you think – certainly not as bad as he is made out to be!
Important note: I have written this article back in May and opted not to publish it then. The reason for this was because at the last possible minute I found out the manner in which Flamini left Arsenal in 2008 – by allowing his contract to run out and seeking pastures new and more glorious […]
Young Stars hoping for Bellerin style Breakout Seasons at Arsenal

Last season saw the emergence of Hector Bellerin as a first team regular after fellow right back Mathieu Debuchy suffered two long-term injuries […]
Does Wenger secretly believe he can reunite Ozil and Benzema this window?
Well, Arsène Wenger doesn’t seem to be very busy these days; a non-newsflash which could easily create anxiety and worry but instead of sending me straight to a complete meltdown, actually does generate some anticipation and expectation – which are totally unjustified. When I see the man avoiding questions about transfers or drop enigmatic replies, […]
Showdown! Giroud v Benzema: which forwards will take Arsenal Forward?
Some tweets showed up on my timeline yesterday comparing Benzema’s goals scored/matches played versus Giroud over the last few years. The premise for the tweet was apparently someone saying Benzema at €40m was steep and that the player wasn’t really better than Giroud. The numbers shared actually gave that impression.

The squad is the finest it’s arguably been in my lifetime – not even the Invincible’s had the quality […]

Arsenal’s newfound fear factor; Sp*rs to share Emirates? No way!
Singapore select XI We expected to beat them and we did. It was also by a score that reflected the difference in the teams and the occasion. I said last week that I was looking forward to watching Akpom and he didn’t disappoint. Three goals is also a good way to get the managers attention. […]
