Let’s not hype Ja…arrggh he is back, Mash up Midfield & My Jenkinson love-in

Jack Wilshere played his first competitive game since pre season last year. I was at the game and watched him hobble off the pitch but I thought to myself that he doesn't look too discomforted so he should be ok. How wrong I was. A couple of operations and setbacks later, he has started his recovery and of course we should urge caution. We have seen what a long injury can do to a young player like Aaron Ramsey and god forbid Abou Diaby who was only 19 when the despicable Dan Smith decided it would  be a clever thing to crash into his ankle for no reason. So we have to play the waiting game, look at what his

Chelsea (h) – Trigger happy Santi, Extracting the best from Lukas & More

Coventry City (h) Thoughts & Line Up: Fringe & youth give Wenger multiple options

Arsenal but with Oliver Giroud pushing to start and grab his first goals for Arsenal, Theo's path may well be blocked once more. That needn't be the case if Arsene continues last season's league cup formula and switches to a 4-4-2. Last season Park partnered Chamakh in attack, a duo of Walcott

The Arsenal Fullback Is Back

Arsenal teams of the last decade? Probably the Invincibles first, the 2001-2002 team second and then the 2007-2008 team, right? And what did these teams have in common? Well, the first two teams brought success to the hallowed halls of Highbury, and the third team very nearly won the league where others were vastly outspending us. But all of them, to me, were teams with similar core
