M’Vila & Podolski learning from lessons or late arrivals? + A Bould move

8th May 2012 admin

I must say the fact that Alex Song only has one more year on his contract and now that we have purchased M'Vila makes me worry a little. I worry that Arsene has made an early move because he knows something that we do not about our current number 17. I bloody well hope not and I hope Alex signs a new deal along with Theo and Robin very soon. It

SONG!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?? YOU'RE NOT MESSI!!

3rd May 2012 James 'Raul' Stokes

The final fixtures require a team effort. Everyone has a position and a job, and they’ll be needing to adopt a professional approach. Take things lightly, be blasé and there could be more reason for us to wish humiliating defeat on Chelsea when they play Bayern - if we needed any more. I don’t want to be watching the games and screaming at the television, ‘SONG!! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?? YOU’RE NOT MESSI!

Aston Villa (h) – Is it time for Song to step forward? / Walcott / Gervinho

25th March 2012 admin

I remember first paying attention to Alex Song's delivery when he chipped over a pass to Eduardo to score that back healed volley but it has become a little more than a holding player contributing a few assists for his team. It is almost becoming the strongest part of his game and I wonder if that side of his game should be utilised more than it already is. Currently the midfield rotates and they all take turns in supporting the attacking trio but given how we press further forward I wonder how Alex would fair spending more time in what is

Diaby Returns For Arsenal – Will Arsene Stick Or Twist?

2nd March 2012 admin

The Arsenal guy hasn't been able to achieve consistency because he finds himself continuously trying to build up to match fitness and also match sharpness. Without a run of games where you are totally free from injury, that is very difficult. The last stretch of games he had was a few season's ago when he played alongside Alex Song, I think it was Arsene's first adaptation of the 4-3-3. Previously it was just Alex Song sitting with two advanced midfielders but during that season Wenger asked Diaby to drop deeper alongside Song. During

Song & Arteta Back To The Future / Continuous Contract Chatter

14th November 2011 admin

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

Sorry Guys, I Made A Mistake. You Can Write Me Off Now

People tend to remember bad things for longer than good things since negative events continue to provoke a strong emotional response long after they’re finished. Today, the happiness you feel remembering the Invincible season will likely seem less strong than the sadness you feel about losing the Champion’s League final. Indeed, you may even find that remembering the Invincible season makes

The name that can win us the league & The Diaby – Song partnership

30th March 2011 admin

My only concern would be the match fitness of the returning players. As good as a player is, usually they need to have a had a few games under their belts before we see the best and we do not have a few games to ease players back in. I am thinking more of Theo Walcott and Alex Song. While Cesc may need fine tuning, he still can see passes that other players do not and his ability to make the final

Leeds United (a) Post Match Thoughts: Glowing Nasri takes the Leeds as squad sharpen up

20th January 2011 admin

Alex Song was masterful until he tired out late in the second half. The 'visible' wall has now turned into a graceful, skilful, brick wall. I love the way he positions himself in front of the opposition midfielder and they just run straight into him, bounce off his solid frame then the blonde haired Cameroonian shuffles his way past a couple of challenges and then finds an advanced team mate who knew that sequence was about to unfold 10 seconds prior to the pass. Gordon Strachan called him the best defensive midfielder in the league, so do I.

Chelsea (h) Post Match Thoughts: Balance found for mature Gunners

28th December 2010 admin

Cesc's return pass to Theo was executed by the king of assists, a player who has mastered the art of finding team mates in small spaces. A delicate chip, with backspin in between Ivanovic and into

Defence, Nasri's form & The Mancs – Iron Man's Arse Weekly

11th December 2010 Iron Man

I commented earlier this season about how I didn't much care for this new marauding Alex Song. He was probably the worst player on the pitch in a red shirt last Saturday and that has to be down to the fact he simply did not know his responsibility. If
