Are you a ‘real’ supporter?

My point is; it’s physically impossible for everyone to be like that. Those that can’t attend everything, shouldn’t be chastised by others. The footballing world today is a global community. Arsenal have fans in all the corners of the world, made up by a plethora of varying ethnicities. I follow Arsenal because I love them, and because it’s something very

 

The Void In The Middle

Ramsey, Podolski, Walcott or Chamberlain? What Is Arsene’s Future Wide Plans?

Both Theo and Gervinho were very important to van Persie's excellent scoring record and although Gervinho's and Walcott's goal return was not yet as great as we would have liked, the general consensus was that it would improve in time. Theo Walcott for one is a player who I expect to score regularly and we are slowly seeing that now. Gervinho has been very wasteful at times but has managed to get into scoring positions, the hope is that in time he would develop the much needed

Life Is A Pitch Away From The Emirates / M’Villa Eyes Arsenal / Chamakh

how we should play Chamakh and go more direct to avoid the pitch but isn't that just playing the oppositions game? Would Barcelona expect to start pumping balls into the box if they were playing on a poor surface? I am sure they wouldn't because that is not how they play the game. It is different for Barcelona because Spanish teams in general are passing football teams. Even the relegation threatened teams are more Swansea than Stoke City and in the Premier League this is

Your Vision – Aaron Ramsey’s role in the team

Ramsey was one young player who many Arsenal fans would have expected to step up this season with the key players departing and Wilshere injured. However his form has been indifferent which is understandable considering he is still only 21.Some Arsenal fans have already written off  Ramsey on the basis of  his recent performances which i think is really harsh. He had a pretty decent start to the season but struggled to maintain that form. The biggest criticism of his game was his  inability to finish off chances. Also he would often try to overplay by trying some back heels and fancy flicks when

Your Vision – Transfer Frenzy

QPR (a) – Ramsey, Tactics, Tempo & Defeat

Thomas Vermaelen made errors that cost us the game in the end and when our offensive game is suffering then it can only lead to defeat. Vermaelen dived in at Adel Taarabt and the Moroccan skipped past him and curled past Szczesny for his first Premier League goal of the season. It is ok to dive in when you have Koscielny on the cover behind but when you are

Everton (a) – Ignore The Bigger Picture, Just Enjoy The 90 Minutes

QPR (a) Thoughts & Line Up: Ramsey, Gervinho & Kosmaelen Return

The left attacker is the only position in which I have to guess Arsene's selection. Against Everton at Goodison park, Arsene chose Aaron Ramsey to add that extra bite, that extra body in the middle of the pitch to win the midfield battle. Against Aston Villa at home, Arsene played two natural wide attackers as I am sure he was confident enough of dominating the ball. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is another option but I am guessing that it will be between the former options. Gervinho put in a superb defensive performance against Aston Villa

Arsenal’s got game, got skills and got bloggers

What marks the site to which I refer as my favourite is that the opinion is honest. It doesn't waver, it doesn’t crumble under mass scrutiny. It remains - even amidst a maelstrom of hatred. When I click on for my daily bit of digest, I know there’s a chance I’ll be howling wildly in bewildered disagreement or nodding my head as an opinion reflects my own. What I know I’ll never be is disinterested

Humility the key to finishing third

From his words, one deduces that the press has not been consistently applied due to potential fatigue and/or lack of personnel. For the rest of the season, these factors should not be an issue. Everyone bar Per Mertesacker and Emmanuel Frimpong is expected to return from injury, and following the win against Villa our remaining eight games span a period of 50 days. On average that is a game every six days, which should be plenty of time for the lads to rest, recuperate and refuel. And if it isn’t, then Arsene can be more confident in

Why Arsenal need to continue ‘rewarding failure’ / Denilson / M’Villa / Vertonghen

We have seen what happens when it goes the other way, Mathieu Flamini was deemed as surplus to requirements before his one super charged season where he found his best form. That is the margin the manager has to play with. A player close to joining Birmingham City and not being able to force his way into the team to a player who dominates AC Milan at the San Siro. We could have offered Flamini a large pay rise before he got to the last season of his existing contract and he could
