A Blog in Defence of the BFG – Per Mertesacker
Per Mertesacker, the BFG. The whole season I have mostly seen complaints about the German with compliments far and few between. The complaints mostly comprise the following: He’s too slow.

Arsenal’s 2014/2015 season in many ways has flirted with stability and merited praise. Aside recording back to back cup success, it has ensured sustainability in the team’s form, which sprung to life in the wake of the 2-0 win at the Etihad in January.

Hello again, loyal readers. After some all night bartering, with negotiations reaching a delicious climax as the summer sun slowly submerged ‘neath the horizon with a shimmering ‘adieu’, I was re-signed for Gunners Town for the princely sum of a packet of ‘Nice ‘n’ Spicy’ Nik-Naks and a barely touched can of Tizer.
