Francis Coquelin – Nicknamed ‘Le Ninja’ in France – A View from across the Channel
Arsenal can be grateful to Santa Claus for bringing the solution to the Gunners patent lack of balance in the middle. A sudden but welcome revelation of Francis Coquelin in December, after an unexpected return from his loan spell in Charlton, gave Arsenal a new face. A bit of luck for Arsène Wenger, who […]
So Reus an upgrade on Walcott this summer? – Scouting Report from Germany
The January transfer window shut only two days ago, but speculations are already gathering pace about possible high profile summer transfers. Let’s be honest. This deadline day was tedious as it hasn’t been for years and not only due to the fact we weren’t involved in any deadline day deals. It just wasn’t the […]

Good Wednesday Gooners in this is the week leading to the North London Derby!

A quiet time on deadline day 😉 10.30pm, January 31st, 2015, Australia have just won the Asian Cup, 2-1 against South Korea at Stadium Australia.

Brighton, Tactics and not getting carried away cos Villa may not score but they don’t concede either!
Captain’s Log, Star-date 1,0,7,9 point 2. Does anyone know whose time measurement this actually is? Having survived my first sexual experience with the Klingon, (I can’t pronounce her name so I’m gonna call her Shirley) she’s now challenged me to a Bach-Ta! I thought I’d check what it was with Uhura this time. It turns out […]
Arsenal now have a ‘Blueprint for European Success’
Arsenal last advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions in 2010 where they were beaten by Barcelona thanks to four goals from Lionel Messi at the Nou Camp.

We Can Break Our European Duck This Year!
Hello guys, it’s the refreshed Subomi here writing again and recent results have given every reason to feel that way.
