MATCH PREVIEW: Arsenal vs Burnley. With everyone fit, who will make the starting XI?
Hi everyone. We face Burnley away in what will be our last league in two weeks, because, as you may well remember, we miss the next BPL clash due to the involvement in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. A nice reason to miss a league match! Truth be told, I was a little […]

Did the World Cup set this Arsenal squad back a season?
After a slow start to the season, with inconsistent performances home and away, are we finally seeing the best of this Arsenal squad? Last weekend’s 4-1 win against Liverpool was a fantastic performance – maybe the best of the season. Though the opening months of the season weren’t always great to watch, Arséne Wenger was still trying to […]
Where does Wilshere fit in the Arsenal team? – Or does he?
My thoughts about Jack Wilshere have often been that he should be a deep-lying playmaker in the mould of Andrea Pirlo, the 2006 World Cup-winning Italian midfielder. Jack has an excellent range of passing and a decent first touch. However, he is usually deployed higher up the pitch with more offensive orders by Arsene Wenger, […]
Who will be the third 15 goal a season player Wenger referred to? Or is there more than 1?
You smell that we can score goals. We did, Arsène. We did. Yet, we are looking for another 10-15 goals a season player. The manager himself said we need another body able to find the back of the net at least ten times a season; he didn’t specify he was thinking of a forward or a midfielder […]
Let’s not forget the moments of magic Theo can produce…
Recently there’s been a lot of chatter about Theo, his contract & his place in the team. Theo has divided opinion ever since he joined The Arsenal in 2006. He has undoubted speed, apparently the fastest professional footballer in the world, (although Bellerin is supposed to be quicker), it’s whether his brain can keep up with […]
One for all and all 4-1 – A Musketeer of a Team Performance v Liverpool
When going into the game, I honestly didn’t expect for Arsenal to pull off something like that. It has nothing to do with lack of belief: I always believe we can beat the opposition, whatever the circumstances. Rather, I knew it was make-or-break for Liverpool: a loss would basically mean they finish outside the top […]

Liverpool’s English stars make a miraculous recovery!!!
Actual football returns as we take on Liverpool at the Emirates in what is probably the most important game during the run-in. Win, and we open a nine-point gap on the Mugmashers and maintain at least a seven-point one on Spurs and Southampton. However, Liverpool is a dangerous team to play right now, exactly because […]
