Arsenal 3 Chelsea 1 – Monkey off our back.

28th December 2010 Tyler Drake

Theo again took advantage of some slack play by Malouda, nicking the ball off him and playing it in to Fabregas before taking off on a well held run for fabregas to play a delightfully chipped through ball (just high enough to creep over Terry’s attempted slide tackle) and Theo was through

Chelsea (h) Thoughts & Predictions: The time to beat Chelsea has to be now

27th December 2010 admin

If Abou Diaby plays I expect much of the responsibility to fall on his shoulders to pull the Chelsea defence around with his driving bursts and bits of individual skill to make openings for Nasri, Van Persie and whoever else is trying to make a few yards of space in the penalty area

Merry Christmas Visionaries & Picture special

25th December 2010 admin

Merry Christmas to all Gooners out there to those who celebrate and to those who don't I hope you are hopefully enjoying a few days off to recuperate before the new year. I am off to the in-laws today so there will be no normal blog as I have plenty of eating and drinking to do and as we all know time is very much of the essence, I am sure you understand. I would like to take the time to thank all the Gooners out there, especially the Visionaries who regularly read and comment on my ramblings.

Transfer rumour pain, Wilshere & Chelsea thoughts

24th December 2010 admin

Newsnow has always been my trusty news source, you used to be able to find a good array of articles, stories or even some really good tactical ramblings. You would get the odd article that was begging for a click. 'Arsenal set to tie up record mega deal super smash' that would have the 12 year olds fighting over themselves to click through and pretend that it could actually be real. I've been there myself

Vermaelen spin, Nani & The type of player I would buy for Arsenal

23rd December 2010 admin

I really like the idea of having an explosive, fast, skilful striker who was born to score goals. A 23 year old who would still improve and who was not afraid to miss chances. Someone who can be marked tightly for 80 minutes and then drill a snapshot into the far corner on the net on his weaker side. Off the top of my head, the type of player I am thinking of is a Samuel Eto'o of a few years ago. Don't ask me about where he would fit in with the rest of the players we have in that position because someone would probably have to go but that is the type of player that I would love to have in our

Would you do the Samba? Tommy return in sight & Snow joke for Szczesny

22nd December 2010 admin

26 years of age, powerful both on the floor and in the air and also a leader, well I assume he is a leader as he is the current club captain. He certainly is an intimidating presence on the pitch for the opposition. Having said that, I do not see how Arsene would be able to keep five center backs happy at the same time, especially as a partnership needs to be formed and developed and the best way for that to happen is for two players to keep playing together without much rotation

Does sensible spending show lack of ambition? & Strange injury situation

21st December 2010 admin

This isn't to say that all big money buys end up as flops because that is clearly not the case. It does however mean that you cannot be guaranteed to be a success just because you pay over the odds. The player you have is what is important and not the price on his head

Diaby, Miyaichi, Form and Barca dreams

20th December 2010 admin

I have a bit of a funny feeling with Arsenal at the moment. We have yet to hit our stride so far and it is after the Christmas period that we will need to start getting our game together. We have been doing just enough to win our games and playing well in patches until we do not give

Stoke City (h) Thoughts & Predictions: Shawcross and co secondary to three points

18th December 2010 admin

Arsene has some decisions to make. Cesc and Van Persie both need games but I struggle to see how all three can play in the same team unless the formation changes which I cannot see it doing

Arsenal need to escape Barcelona stalkers and use speed

17th December 2010 Mean Lean

Because of their system, like Arsenal they have struggled at times with the longer ball. Having squeezed so far up the pitch to play in the opponents half, space is often found behind them. With Puyol and Pique you would feel that pace could do some damage to them.
