Podolski Deal Done?.. In March? / Wenger In Trouble / Gyrating Bohemian

The Lukas Podolski rumours do not appear to be slowing down any time soon with our good old Per Mertesacker talking about his late night chats with Podolski. There might not be any mention of those chats being late night but it just sounds better. Mertesacker has been selling how good life is at Arsenal but I do not know about the context. Mertesacker and Podolski could be best of friends and Mertesacker could have been asked a loaded question. Either way, it is probably best if those types of answers were avoided

AC Milan (h) – Pitches, Rosicky & Fans As The Impossible Was So Close

This time they faced the real Arsenal, the whirlwind that blew Tottenham out of the better half of North London. I would say though that AC Milan have a right to complain to the powers that be. They must have stepped onto that lush, green, slick pitch and gulped because the playing field had been levelled so to speak. It was now based on footballing ability and not

AC Milan (h) Thoughts & Line Up: Can AOC Pull Off The No.10? & Broken Handbrakes

Wilshere, Diaby, Benayoun, Coquelin and Ramsey all miss out though injury or illness which is quite amazing. Even Tomas Rosicky is a doubt but I think he will have to be patched up and wheeled out because we really do have no more options, at least from our first team squad. We ended the game at Liverpool with our young prodigy Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the advanced attacking midfield role and I suspect that is the position where he will start the game tonight. That is what I think

Attempting The Impossible Could Be Self Defeating / Liverpool Leave Bad Taste

Arsenal players go down holding body parts after 'tackles' I a not talking Eboue type of going down, I am talking about warriors like Bacary Sagna and Thomas Vermaelen who do not go down unless they are properly hurt. It is no surprise when you think about the manager they have in charge. A dinosaur who still plays 1980s football. One big man up front, two wingers. Get stuck in, get in their faces and hurt those fancy Dan Arsenal boys, they don't like it. Our players really need to sort that

Chelsea Shambles Shines Light on Wenger’s Work & Debunking Arsenal’s One Man Team Myth

The axe finally fell over the neck of Andre Villas-Boas, a young manager who got many tongues wagging due to his impressive record at Porto. Many were wishing that he would replace Arsene Wenger as the manager but it just goes to show that rebuilding a team and get instant results is not as simple as some like to make out, even when you have huge funds available to spend let alone if you have to

Liverpool (a) – Robin van Perfect Brace Snatches Three Juicy Points

We were finding it very difficult to create any chances as Liverpool were quicker and sharper to the ball and getting into their half in numbers was proving very difficult, especially in the center of the pitch. The man who scores when he likes found his way to goal after a wonderfully inch perfect cross from Bacary Sagna found the head of van Persie to glance in past Reina

Liverpool (a) Thoughts & Line Up: Play It Again Arsene

Arsenal dressing room but I think my excuses were a little obvious and they stopped me from leaving. Not sure how that ended, we probably stuffed them 5-2 or something. That type of score line today is improbable, I can see a very tight and defensive game from the home side and if they stop us playing then I am not sure how much football will be played, that of course will all change if we can score an early goal and the early goal will depend on how we start the match. I have watched a few Liverpool v Manchester United games at

Diaby Returns For Arsenal – Will Arsene Stick Or Twist?

The Arsenal guy hasn't been able to achieve consistency because he finds himself continuously trying to build up to match fitness and also match sharpness. Without a run of games where you are totally free from injury, that is very difficult. The last stretch of games he had was a few season's ago when he played alongside Alex Song, I think it was Arsene's first adaptation of the 4-3-3. Previously it was just Alex Song sitting with two advanced midfielders but during that season Wenger asked Diaby to drop deeper alongside Song. During

Joel Campbell Multitasking Skills, Footballing Gods Listen & AOC’s End Product

Another Gooner was amongst the action last night one that hasn't made the Arsenal shirt just yet as he is on loan to improve his chances of obtaining a work permit. Costa Rican Joel Campbell scored for erm Costa Rica against Wales. A very tidy finish it was as well. I have only watched the odd highlights as well as the obvious YouTube compilation and one thing is obvious, he doesn't suffer from the Gervinho syndrome. In fact quite the opposite he looks like he could wash up
