Lies, lies and damned captains + Van Persie a true Gooner

Stuart Pearce is having a blinking bubble bath if he is seriously considering picking Jack Wilshere for the U21 European Championships. Pearce has vowed to include the top players including Jack Wilshere and Andy Carroll. With the latter it is not so much an issue as injury has robbed him of playing time during this season. Jack Wilshere is a different case, not only has he played almost a full season so far, he is in his first full year as an

West Brom (a) Post Match Thoughts: Slow starts more a concern than blunders

Aaron Ramsey shouldn't have been picking up Steven Reid, an obvious miss match but without Diaby, Song, Djourou, Bendtner and Chamakh in our line up we were seriously lacking height and dominance

West Brom (a) Thoughts & Predictions: Only three points will do today boys

Jack Wilshere will start in midfield, assuming he continues with his in between role, the question would then be who plays directly behind and ahead of him. Denilson, Ramsey, Rosicky and Nasri are the real possibilities but given the absence of Theo Walcott, I would imagine that Nasri will be used in

Wenger isn’t like some fans & What it could be like winning the league at the Emirates

I have pretty much said all that needs to be said about it really. I hope he doesn't play too much but I hope he does get the chance to wave goodbye on the pitch. Preferably with a title winners medal around his neck come last home game of the season against Aston Villa. That would be

Forget JD, Chamakh’s Belief and Another Little Miyaichi to Play With?

If we can somehow get to the Man U game with Theo Van Nasregas in attack then I personally think we will score enough against them to win. Our first choice frontline is the most varied and dangerous in the land when fit and on form but ‘fit’ and ‘on form’ are the key words in the sentence. With that in mind we will need some good performances between now and then and no small amount of luck to

Getting back on track, Ticket price choices & Squad players

Yesterday's early Swiss FA news and then Arsenal news later on during the day was a bit like being a kid and wanting the latest games console. Begging your parents for it for the last 6 months, which probably felt closer to 6 years at that age. Then your dad comes home with the console box after work and you jump around saying 'thank you, thank you!!' only to be told that it is just the packaging. The box actually contains a five pack of

Winning mentality can be explained in Lehmann’s terms

Jack's mate Henri Lansbury was in the thick of the action last night as he came off the bench with 10 minutes to play and he scored a nice goal and was involved in the late third. With all due respect, judging by his tweets, he is a little bit of a cheese. But he certainly has character on the pitch and I love his commitment. He wants to win and looks as if he doesn't know how to do anything but give

Manchester United (a) Post Match Thoughts: Postpone white flag waving until May

Neither Koscielny or Kieran Gibbs were goal side of the defender, had they been then a block could have taken place. Manchester United's early second half goal was a killer to our side. Typically we should have scored only a few minutes earlier. Koscielny had his curling shot well saved fro man

Manchester United (a) Thoughts & Predictions: Semi final and psychological control up for grabs

Chances are that it will be either Tomas Rosicky or Samir Nasri to play in the central role. Nasri has often been overlooked to play in the hole as Arsene likes to utilise his pace to get in behind the opposition

Should Arsene stick or twist? & Strange transfer rules

I am obviously pleased that we can get an emergency keeper but I think the rule is a little silly really. Why are clubs allowed to get a new keeper outside of the window? You have a squad, including reserves and youths and you should have to use those players and deal with whatever problems come your way. I also think that managers should be allowed to play whatever team they want, a squad is a squad and the manager should use his
