Double award winner van Persie gives Gunners hope

24th April 2012 admin

We move on, Arsenal FC move on and it is all about the future. We do not know if that will be with our captain or without, whatever happens I think we are in good shape to look forward but needless to say, we would rather look forward with van Persie on board. His goals are one thing, quite a big thing at that. His assists are another but it is his leadership that has

van Persie & Santos in Barca visit shocker, Wilshere good news & Arteta news

Another story that is floating around to cause more arm waving man screams is Cesc Fabregas talking about his role at Barcelona compared to Arsenal and that he is more disciplined etc. It is taken out of context just to cause this reaction, my advice to you is to simply ignore it. It doesn't actually matter because he is not registered to the club anymore. You could rightly call me a hypocrite for my continuous digs at Samir Nasri over the season but I think it is obvious that Cesc

Life Is A Pitch Away From The Emirates / M’Villa Eyes Arsenal / Chamakh

3rd April 2012 admin

how we should play Chamakh and go more direct to avoid the pitch but isn't that just playing the oppositions game? Would Barcelona expect to start pumping balls into the box if they were playing on a poor surface? I am sure they wouldn't because that is not how they play the game. It is different for Barcelona because Spanish teams in general are passing football teams. Even the relegation threatened teams are more Swansea than Stoke City and in the Premier League this is

QPR (a) Thoughts & Line Up: Ramsey, Gervinho & Kosmaelen Return

30th March 2012 admin

The left attacker is the only position in which I have to guess Arsene's selection. Against Everton at Goodison park, Arsene chose Aaron Ramsey to add that extra bite, that extra body in the middle of the pitch to win the midfield battle. Against Aston Villa at home, Arsene played two natural wide attackers as I am sure he was confident enough of dominating the ball. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is another option but I am guessing that it will be between the former options. Gervinho put in a superb defensive performance against Aston Villa

Everton (a) – Ramsey, Song & More Late Match Thoughts

23rd March 2012 admin

We started the game superbly and our speed of passing was a joy. Everton did not know how to handle us for the first 15 minutes. As is often the case we were wasteful with our finishing and really should have buried Everton before and after Vermaelen had headed in van Persie's corner. It wasn't the first time that Everton were undone by that combination. It was during Thomas Vermaelen's league debut when van Persie curled in a free kick to the back post and Vermaelen leapt high and powered in his first Arsenal goal in our 6-1 victory.

Who needs Batman? We've got Robin!

14th March 2012 James 'Raul' Stokes

Cast your mind back a few years to Henry's final season at the club, or Cesc Fabregas'. Both had an unmistakable resignation to their mannerisms; an almost sombre celebration would greet a goal. Whilst I'm not attempting to cast aspersions on the will-to-win or determination of either player, I did always get the sense that both individuals had made

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

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

Blackburn (h) – Alex Chamberlain, Two Arsene Players In One

5th February 2012 admin

Theo Walcott was in the groove yesterday at Arsenal and I think much of that was down to the way we played the game as well as some poor defending by the visitors. Quick early passes with a high tempo helps Theo, it helps keep our opponents on the back foot which Walcott's pace can exploit. When we face teams at the Emirates who sit back and have time to set themselves then Walcott often

The Facts And Opinions Of Arsenal's January Business

2nd February 2012 Mean Lean

If Arsene works this way then it is no surprise as to why players like Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Arteta, Chamberlain, Arshavin and countless more from previous squads managed to hit the ground running. But like I say, I cannot state this as a fact, this is my opinion. The closest thing to facts though is the result of the transfer window. Have a look around at other clubs and the business they have done. At this point, I imagine a few people saying 'well this is not about them, we are in a position where we need the top four.' My response to that would be that every club has their own aims and goals and that Liverpool and Chelsea have the same aim as we do.
