When the announcement of the line-up came through yesterday, I was hoping to see two things: Walcott up top, through the middle Jack Wilshere in the center with Santi/Alexis in the wide areas We all know which one of these two we saw. Wenger had recently spoken of finally moving Theo up top, through the […]

Has Mr.Theodore James Walcott given Monsieur Arsene Wenger a Selection headache, along with Wilshere as Santi pulls the strings
The Premier League season drew to a close yesterday and some of the results were, how shall I put it, quite unexpected.

Result & Performance v West Brom now CRITICAL – We need lay down a marker to frighten Aston Villa
Despite more or less nailing third place, the West Brom game has become massively important. Not because it’s a chance to use some squad players and rest our big guns, and not because it’s our last home game of the season, but because we need to show Aston Villa that their game plan won’t work. […]
