Full backs and the unlikely title challenge / Walcott / Podolski

26th March 2012 admin

Fast forward to Anfield against midtable Liverpool, we certainly got the rub of the green thanks to the woodwork being on our side for a pleasant change but I distinctly remember two wonderful blocks and last ditch challenges from both Bacary Sagna and Kieran Gibbs. We won that game at the death. With Vermaelen at left back and Johan Djourou at right back we would have lost that game, even with the woodwork saving us on the day, Liverpool would have found another way past us

Why Arsenal could make a title challenge in 2012/13

Given that we have lost Arshavin and we were a little exposed at full back, we may be looking in those 2 positions in the summer. Vertonghen has been strongly linked, along with an attacking midfielder/winger type - like Junior Hollett. Obviously, every man and his dog has been linked to us, but my feeling is that if we do get Podolski, we will only need a couple more to really challenge next season

Everton (a) Thoughts & Line Up: Sticky Toffees Or fan mind games? & Arsenal’s Injury Joy

21st March 2012 admin

I watched bits of Everton's 1-0 victory over those lot from down the road and I gulped at the intensity of Everton's pressing game and thought back to previous clashes where Everton did not allow us time on the ball and our game suffered. We have also been pressing very well in recent games so it could be a game of Arsenal and Everton players running full pelt at each other with the ball being left on the center circle. Jokes aside (bad one's at that) we do not play that same pressing game quite the same when we are away from home, the last game at Liverpool is a perfect example. I am not quite

Arsenal Foundations Made Of Different Stuff, Killing Players & Vertoghenn

16th March 2012 admin

Francis Coquelin, Emmanuel Frimpong, Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Aaron Ramsey, Ryo Miyachi and Ignasi Miquel are not gum chewing, half season wonders who will stroll through at the end when the team need them most, and this my friends is why I am more than confident as to why we can close the gap dramatically next season, especially now that it

Left Back On The Bench, Rosicky To Sign & Squad Pruning Begins

9th March 2012 admin

Andre Santos is back in training with the group again which is tremendous news, we certainly missed something going forward when his services were taken from us. He is one of the most entertaining fullbacks that I have seen, especially at Arsenal. What made it even worse was that he was starting to get into his stride, his fitness was improving, he was getting stronger defensively and started to have a good understanding with his team mates. I want to see him take another big

Have The BBC Let A Podolski Sized Cat Out Of The Bag? / Why RVP Will Stay

8th March 2012 admin

With that, I will leave you to share around your Podolski fixes Basically what I am trying to say is that I believe that Darren Dein has told Mancini or someone at Manchester City that Robin van Persie would like to stay at Arsenal and that he will The game against Tottenham was a perfect example. at 0-2 down, the world was close to ending. I felt dizzy thinking about watching those lot celebrate in our stadium, having to read text messages from several Tottenham supporting friends of

Talos Henry Comes Alive, Arsene Waiting For Exits & Loans

30th December 2011 admin

Arsene's was asked whether he was interested in bringing any new players during the window and his response was very interesting. He said that he had a full squad and wouldn't be adding to the squad unless players left. That statement is fine in itself as was explained in the blog yesterday, due to squad restrictions we can only do something if some are moved on but what caught my attention was the fact that he was speaking about players who have no real chance to play. That sounds as if he is admitting publicly that playing time will not
