The talent in our squad is huge even though we lost some key players in the summer. The likes of Ramsey and Song have stepped up a notch, RVP continued where he left off from last season. We have Theo who is a lot more confident in his abilities and who will add a couple of more goals to his
There is a clear foundation in the team now, a strong platform for our offensive players to reap the rewards. Arsene has had to place many midfielders on his mental weighing scales in an attempt to find the right balance. The first switch to 4-3-3 meant that we were often punished on the counter attack so then a second midfielder had dropped back into a second midfield position to readdress that issue. What this midfield reminds me of is part of the 2008/09 midfield when Cesc Fabregas

Park was in inspiring form for South Korea and notched up a goal in their win. Since his arrival at Arsenal, I've seen him notch up goals every time he has gone away to play for South Korea but he has struggled to stake a claim as a first team product, largely because of the world class form RVP is in. One thing we can all agree with is Park has moved ahead of
I found myself getting rather snappy when I glanced across a headline on a news feed about Manchester City swooping for van Persie after contract... blah blah. I didn't even complete the headline before screaming out obscenities on my way to the train station this morning. Let alone click the link. Please, if you can do one thing for me today, it is please do not click that hit whoring filth. We do not need to encourage them any further to make up news rather than report on actual news

Ju Park and the already much loved Ryo Miyaichi are two Asian players who are currently on our books. Junichi Inamoto was another Asian who came to Arsenal on loan from Japan but never quite
A player like Zinedine Zidane started out as a right sided player but because of his influence he was moved inside so he could be more involved in the game. The same was the case for Dennis Bergkamp at Ajax and even our very own Robin van Persie who last contributed to Feyenoord from the left wing. When you are a player who flickers in and out of games and find it difficult to dictate a

He got his chance in the first two Carling cup games sandwiched by a Champions league tie against Olympiacos, all at the Emirates. In two of the three games he was fantastic, scoring two very good goals. In recent games, Chamberlain has been pulled back out of the spotlight and has often failed
As we know, it didn't happen and apart from Gervinho and a few experienced players like Mikel Arteta we basically had to make do with what we already had at the club. With Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri departing for sunnier climates and greener pockets respectively, I thought we really needed one superstar to add to the quality youngsters and experienced

I am loving all things Arsenal right now. From Mikel Arteta's quality to Carl Jenkinson's interviews. He is sounding very mature and confident these days. Listening to Jenkinson is like listening to a

Our talismanic captain Robin van Persie has been in fine form and is currently leading the goal scorers log with 11 goals. His hat-trick against Chelsea is still fresh in my mind and I really can't help thinking the level he would have been at, had he stayed injury free 2 years back. He is currently on 29 goals in 28 games in the league this calendar year(2011), a feat only bettered by Ronaldo of
