Your Vision – Manchester United game – Reality check

14th December 2010 admin

Defensively we were very poor; Bacs and Kos were just about so so, Squillaci and Clichy disappointing. What in God’s name was Squill up to when he headed a ball in the path of Nani, only for the latter to miss? As the game progressed Clichy at least

Cesc may well start on Monday & Taking chances key to season’s ending

11th December 2010 admin

Cesc has been saying on Twitter that he is doing his best to make it for Monday. It is not as if we are rushing him back early, he is currently on schedule but my issue would be his match fitness rather than a reoccurrence of his hammy. If he isn't ready then he will not be risked.
I would start the Tomas Rosicky of Aston Villa and keep Cesc on the bench but then again I wouldn't start the Rosicky of Fulham where he was woeful. It is difficult to tell which players will turn up and which

Can’t Evra be loaned out for three years instead of Wellington?

10th December 2010 admin

The footballing gods have really got it in for me haven't they? I have been rather excited like a little boy on Christmas day about the arrival of Wellington da Silva in January, once he is granted his work permit. You know, the one that they promised him. FIFA being FIFA decided against it and refused. It seems like our appeal for a special talent visa was also turned down, so we will not be seeing him in an Arsenal shirt for a number of years now as he will have to go out on loan to a Spanish team to become

Koscielny recovery, Djourou crash & Nasri deal

7th December 2010 admin

With these new rules in place that allows players to leave for a bag of soap after only being at a club for 15 minutes. (perhaps a slight exaggeration somewhere in that sentence) It seems like we are continuously handing out new contracts to keep our players at the club. What is vitally important is that we keep our group together, we have lost key players in previous squads in the past and it is a

Your Vision – The magic called Samir Nasri

6th December 2010 admin

The talk surrounding Samir Nasri at his club Marseille, prior to joining Arsenal was that he would be the next Zidane, considering similarities of Algerian descent, technical skills and vision, dribbling skills and playmaking abilities on the football pitch with the great “Zizou”.

Formations, Line ups & Rival squads

2nd December 2010 admin

Imagine we had bloody Bebe in our squad, getting games. Wenger would be absolutely crucified for buying him for £7 million, especially when someone like Van der Vaart would have done the world of good for them at almost the same price. For those who were screaming for Wenger to be sacked last week, I would genuinely like to know your thoughts on the quality of our rivals when they have lost badly. Like the Mancs on Tuesday and Chelsea losing 3-0 to Sunderland at home. Is this just a blip

We've had better weeks – Iron Man's Arse Weekly

26th November 2010 Iron Man

I'm not even going to bother with the 'best manager we've ever had' disclaimer as this doesn't exonerate him from criticism. And even if people do choose to criticise him, that in no way indicates that they don't appreciate everything he has done.

Your Vision – North London derby – Hurt and Anger

20th November 2010 admin

The only emotions that have remained after the game is pure hurt and anger, hurt and anger of having lost to our bitter most rivals at home, hurt and anger of epitomizing all that is good and correct in the world of football but of late, having nothing to show for it, hurt and anger that this wonderful club/team needs a reminder of its MAGNIFICIENT history

Clichy issues, King Song & More – Iron Man's Arse Weekly

5th November 2010 Iron Man

As the fulcrum of the team (when he plays) a poor performance seems to reverberate around the entire team like some kind of weird footballing earthquake. Saturday was the perfect example of this. Despite dominating possession and creating chances, Cesc being out of sorts meant the urgency and fluidity was lacking from the game and The Arsenal just looked very flat

City-ing Pretty, B52, Poxy Moxey & More – Iron Man's Arse Weekly

29th October 2010 Iron Man

Hasn't it just been a great week to be a gooner? Two important away games, two big wins, 7 goals scored, none conceded, players back from injury and, most shockingly from an Arsenal point of view, some outstanding goalkeeping!
