Joel Campbell Multitasking Skills, Footballing Gods Listen & AOC’s End Product

Another Gooner was amongst the action last night one that hasn't made the Arsenal shirt just yet as he is on loan to improve his chances of obtaining a work permit. Costa Rican Joel Campbell scored for erm Costa Rica against Wales. A very tidy finish it was as well. I have only watched the odd highlights as well as the obvious YouTube compilation and one thing is obvious, he doesn't suffer from the Gervinho syndrome. In fact quite the opposite he looks like he could wash up

Cocky Spuds, Players Defend Wenger & van Persie Contract

My post Wenger concerns are not how the new manager will work with the players he has it is how he will continue to build squads in future. My concerns are not about how a new manager will motivate his players in a home game to lower opposition it is whether or not he will buy Stewart Downing over Francis Coquelin, Ryo Miyaichi and Oxlade-Chamberlain. So many players want to leave their clubs

Your Vision – An epiphany plus some thoughts

Yes some players might leave if Wenger leaves, but really ask yourselves this, how many of this Arsenal team are irreplaceable? I would say with the exception of Van persie & maybe vermaelin the rest are all replaceable. We need proven players with experience, we need the likes of Hazard, Canales maybe even a Snijder, no matter how much they cost, and sadly we need a new manager, a new way of

Your Vision – Starters Vs Subs Vs Sold

So lets get on with the comparison then, we all know  our starters well : Szczęsny, Santos, Vermaelin, Kos, Sagna, Song, Arteta, Wilshere, Walcott, Gervinho, Van Persie.A very good team no doubt, maybe I would change Gerviho for the Ox just because I really don't feel he's a top player. He's direct and has pace but he just lacks composure if Arsenal only get one chance in a very tight importan

Wenger’s Profit Talk / Hazard’s Choice / Djourou Signs / Blog Pollution

Eden Hazard's name was again mentioned by Arsenal, and it isn't the first or I suspect the last time that his name will come out of Wenger's mouth. Arsene has been watching Hazard for a number of years now, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he knew of Hazard way before anyone else. Arsene know's French players very well, especially young French players, I say French players but of course I mea

Match Preview: Arsenal vs Blackburn. 3pts or Nothing.

Coquelin is one player I've been impressed with, he has done his job silently and steadily. He has shown he is a hard worker which is why the game today shouldn't be a big deal for him. Arteta partnering him in the middle of the pack should help him stand firm. A midfield 3 of Coquelin - Arteta - Rosicky should be the way forward but as we all know our thinking isn't Wenger's thinking and he would always come out with what he deems fit enough to make a huge statement and I fully

CL Spot Could Be Difference Between Rebuilding or Title Challenge

Harry Redknapp's recent hypocritical ramblings about the spending power of Manchester City. While Tottenham are not the largest wage payers in the league they have a higher net spend on transfers than anyone else apart from the two blue billionaire owners in Manchester and West London. This is thanks to ENIC an investment company established by the British billionaire Joe Lewis, who have

Swansea City (a) – Gunners Pay Heavy Price For Errors & Injuries

We really should have taken the lead again and I am very surprised that not much has been made of van Persie's second clear cut chance. Benayoun's reverse pass may not have been into his stride but van Persie had a clear run at Vorm and my first impression was that he should have dummied the onrushing defender and slotted with his left but instead he opted

Swansea City (a) Thoughts & Line Up: Arshavin, Bare Bones & Rodgers Blueprints

There were rumours of Mikel Arteta being ruled out due to injury or illness but those rumours have come from the world of Twitter so I will cast those aside until I hear anything official. With Francis Coquelin the latest Arsenal player to be struck down with injury, we have to hope that we do not pick up anymore midfield injuries as we are very short
