Time to cash in on Super Jacky Wilshere?
The last couple of days saw an interesting discussion spring up: the role of Jack Wilshere in this current team. Does he have any role to play, where does he fit in if so, and what should be done if City comes knocking on our door in the summer? A couple of articles from Gunnerblog, […]
Lacazette is the best upgrade on Olivier Giroud – Is he a striker that can win us the league Thierry?
Oh, Thierry. Why would you say all that stuff about Giroud? I honestly don’t know. Olivier Giroud is the best back-to-goal striker in the Premier League – the only others who have the potential to come close are Chelsea’s Diego Costa, Sunderland’s Connor Wickham and Aston Villa’s Christian Benteke, all of whom are, I feel, […]
Have Arsenal taken a big step forward or have City and Liverpool just taken a step backwards?
Chelsea I was expecting us to beat Chelsea at home. I was a little disappointed that we didn’t. That was the first indication that we have progressed this season, or more specifically in the second half of this season. I don’t remember the last time I looked forward to a game against Chelsea. Even at […]

Arsenal v Chelsea: a decent point. Has Thierry Henry lost the plot?
Arsenal’s winning streak came to an end yesterday after our attempts to break down Chelsea’s defense proved fruitless. And look, it’s not the worst way to end our run: we battled a point from the inevitable champions, while dominating the Blues in territory and possession. Yes, the result plays into Mourinho’s hands more than into […]
This is how Arsenal will beat Chelsea – Turn their ‘Strength into their Weakness.’
The thought barely leaves me to be honest. How to Beat Chelsea As Arsenal exit a decade of self imposed austerity for me it’s always been about dispatching Liverpool and focussing on Chelsea. Ever since Roman arrived we have had to react to them. They manipulated the transfer market to suit their own affluence knowing […]
Exclusive unofficial interview with Arsene in a hotel bar – When Woody met Wenger!
WEDNESDAY, WOODY, WENGER AND WINE. I couldn’t believe my luck on Wednesday night. In a hotel, in the middle of nowhere, sat at the bar to watch the Madrid derby, and who comes in and takes the seat next to me…. None other than the boss, Arsene bloody Wenger, a slightly drunk Arsene Wenger, I […]
