Leicester Scoring five is a good way to end a bad run in front of goal. Prior to the game lot was made of how bad our shots to goals ratio was and it was a worry, however it was a temporary worry. Eventually everything was going to click into place and a shot would […]

‘THEO’logy the new Arsenal Religion to have faith in? Directness, Movement and Positional Interchange
An Article about Theo and so much more…….Rotation, Arteta/Flamini and Meltdown! So, I haven’t written for quite a while, almost a month actually!

Santi’s just not cracking it – it’s Rambo time.
Cazorla is not bringing enough to the deeper role – it’s time to build around Ramsey.

The one who wishes he was King! I know that a lot of my recent blogs have been regarding the comedic antics of everyone’s favourite clown Maureen, but he makes such bloody good copy !!! The self appointed ‘Chosen One’ seems to spend more time in his pressers waxing lyrical about Arsene and less about […]
