Chelsea (a) – A Cocktail Of Pride, Happiness & Disappointment At The Bridge

18th September 2017 admin

Arggh! Why couldn't his poke off the post bounced over Courtois' line rather than out? It's easy to say Lacazette should have scored the rebound, but the ball came back to him sharply and at an awkward height, not to mention on his weaker side. Bit gutted that we did not get that particular rub of the green on that occasion. That is the game ladies and gentleman, some you win, some you lose

Chelsea (a) Thoughts & Predicted Line Up: Only An Arsenal Victory Will Be Good Enough

3rd February 2017 admin

This is pretty much judgement day when it comes to any hopes of lifting the Premier League title. Lose the game today and the gap between Arsenal and Chelsea will be 12 points, that will be pretty much insurmountable. Beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and the lead is cut down to 6 which would still be extremely difficult given some of the away fixtures we have left this season but you just never know. Victory against the side top of the league could inject this side with some unshakable confidence and you know what Arsene’s teams are like with a big fat dose of super belief. Yeah not the complacency stuff by the way, I mean the stuff that the invincibles had by the bucket load

Chelsea (h) – A Performance We’ve Been Building Towards Since Pre-Season

26th September 2016 admin

When the line up was announced on Twitter, many Gooners were having a fit that Francis Coquelin was starting the game in place of Granit Xhaka. But I think Coquelin was exceptional in the opening stages of the game, he was one of the guys that set the tone he was part of the reason we imposed ourselves on the West Londonders. His injury, picked up close to the 30 minute mark looks serious and could rule him out for a long time. He looked visibly distraught as he limped off the pitch. Arsene has shown incredibly amounts of faith in Coquelin this season when it looked like he may have fallen way down the ladder, we have to hope that the injury is not worst case scenario stuff but it looks bad.

Chelsea (h) Confirmed Line Up: Xhaka & Lucas Start On Bench

24th September 2016 admin

So Arsene has gone with the same 11 that beat Hull City last weekend which means a return to the bench of Granit Xhaka and Lucas Perez after their impressive League Cup performances. Many are having a meltdown about our central midfield, I would personally perfer to see how the players who are starting actually perform on the day first. I know, I am a little backwards like that.

Chelsea (h) Thoughts & Line Up: Alexis & Rosicky to boost the bench? & Showing we can be champions

24th January 2016 admin

Alexis Sanchez should return to the squad after a lengthy period out with a hamstring problem. As much as I'd love to see him up against Ivanovic, I think the sensible decision would be to place him on the bench and ease him in gently. Theo Walcott was not at his best at Stoke at all so I could see Arsène wanting to give him a chance to rectify his performance. Arsène likes to do that. Not only this but Theo Walcott has a habit of turning on the style in big games against Chelsea.

Chelsea (h) Thoughts & Line Up: We owe detestable Chelsea a beating

26th April 2015 admin

And of course there is Jose Mourinho, the most arrogant; self important; crass and hypocritical man in the game today. All the talk is of Wenger's record against Mourinho and yes I would say that Arsene will need to look inwards to a point. We have more often than not fallen straight into his trap of being sucked in and then counter attacked after leaving ourselves exposed. A more pragmatic approach may have been more desirable on many occasions but let's not pretend that his team were playing against the invincibles twice a season. Mourinho came to Chelsea in 2005, a year that coincided with Arsenal chopping off our aging high earners and replacing them with cheap young players as the Emirates era began. Meanwhile Mourinho was regularly breaking transfer records, often overpaying to get the exact players he wanted. Even buying players just to prevent them from joining a rival

Yanga-Mbiwa to Arsenal? ‘Good chance of transfer happening’ / Ramsey & Rosicky switch

19th April 2012 admin

I suspect that the midfield trio will be Alex Song, Aaron Ramsey and Tomas Rosicky. Personally I would switch Rosicky and Ramsey around which almost seems like suicide when you consider Rosicky has probably been our best player over the last month or so but with Arteta missing we need a player who can get our game started from the back, a player who

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

4th March 2012 admin

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
