My Vision

Firstly I think this has been totally blown up out of proportion but my feeling is that there is some truth to the story. If I was to join in the conjecture then my take is this, Steve Bould had full control or close to that of the defenders, about where they should be positioned etc and the result of this was

Football and gambling have a long and – thankfully for the most part – healthy relationship with each other; from supporters wagering on the outcomes of various football issues at sports betting sites, to football players and managers attending horse racing meets for relaxation and even owning horses themselves. Furthermore, in recent years, gambling companies have increasingly moved into actually sponsoring teams, a development which seems natural given both the

It’s difficult to point out where the problem with the current crop lies, if only because it lies in so many places. There’s a shocking lack of depth and/or confidence in some vital areas, holding midfielder and striker among them. Arteta has played every minute of every league game this season, and has felt an understandable pinch of exhaustion. We have to rely on Schrodinger’s Striker from the Coast of Ivory

I haven't yet understood why when we need a goal in a game that almost the first player to be substituted is a striker who is playing out on the left. That switch for Gervinho was more frustrating that taking Giroud off in my opinion. I assume that Wenger has noticed that he runs less in the last part of games and that would explain his late changes, I remember the same happening to Dennis Bergkamp at one point during his career. But my argument would be that if you move Podolski into a

You don't need me to tell you how that ended up. I think I will learn from my lesson though and give it another go and perhaps avoid betting on Arsenal games, instead choosing any of the teams from the Spanish, German, Italian or French leagues. Plenty to choose from

This season we started the season clicking in new pieces into Wengerball that were adapting. Santi Cazorla whizzed from the very beginning. Lukas Podolski was also purring, Oliver Giroud needed to get the screwdriver out and tweak his game. Whoever was playing on the right of our attack kept

Jack Wilshere's return to this Arsenal team and that is understandable, Wilshere is a fantastic all round player and could become an Arsenal great in time but I think the one player who we have missed a lot this season is last season's Tomas Rosicky. Rosicky came into the team in the second half of last season and was one of our best players

Wilshere and Emmanuel Frimpong are all close while Andre Santos has been catching up on some match fitness as he prepares to step in for the unfortunate Kieran Gibbs. Santos apart, I don't see any of the others starting just yet, not just because of their own lack of sharpness but because the players in their places are doing a very good job of it. I am very interested to see what happens with
