Mesut Ozil seems to be the favourite scapegoat at the minute with some suggesting that he might go down the Andrey Arshavin route of eventually fading due to being played out of position, not tracking back etc… Now I’d be the first to admit that Mesut’s displays have been a tad underwhelming for a few […]
DB’s Season Diary – Week 5 I thought it best to let the dust settle on Sunday’s game, and the fun and games in the aftermath, before I finished this week’s piece, in the hope of at least trying to put some perspective on things. You haven’t read anything from me since before the North […]
There is a word many associate to Arsène Wenger these days, that is the word “project”. First there was the Emirates Stadium project, then the (in)famous youth project, now there’s this we-will-be-competitive-again project. It seems that Arsène Wenger loves to build. I am not bothered at all with all these projects, I admired a lot […]
Daniel Nice Tackle Messiah Welbeck (bloody auto correct!) He’s not the messiah; he’s a very naughty boy! Danny: I’m not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly! Tabloid press: Only the true Messiah denies His divinity. Danny: What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? Alright! […]
Over and over and over and over and over again. How annoying it is to be a supporter that already knows the negative outcome of the game? As soon as I saw our line-up I called the defeat at Chelsea which I’m sure many other sane Gooners did too. Yes let’s nullify the threat of […]
Arsene Wenger has surprisingly not been too rigid to experiment during the start of a crucial season, with new systems and new players given time to strike a balance, and the dividends seem to be paying off now. Unlike last season’s chemistry between Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud which got the best out […]
Clive P’s 5 Points is back….. Big weeks get you thinking. Chelsea our nemesis – we have won 4 out of the last 24 games vs this team. Roman has changed the landscape of English football and London football. · Chelsea have more money injected by the ownership model. · Chelsea have a better up to date […]
Danny Welbeck provided the perfect response to his critics by scoring a hat-trick against Galatasaray in the 4-1 victory. This was the striker’s fourth goal in five appearances since moving to Arsenal in a £16 million deal from Manchester United. Welbeck was given a shocking parting gift from United after their manager Louis van Gaal […]
Theo Walcott is almost ready to return, and I, for one, can’t wait for it. Despite not being very impressed by Theo Walcott in his early days, this guy has made some tremendous improvements over the years and is now one of my favourite players. He stayed quiet when many were labeling him as brainless […]
DOCTOR AND THE MEDICS Colin Lewin and (Doctor) Gary O’Driscoll are sat in the London Colney medical centre, drinking their morning coffee, waiting for the usual Monday influx. At 8.30am there’s a knock at the door; the Doctor looks at Colin; “Bet you a fiver, it’s Abou” “Not a chance, you pull that one every […]
