Squad fitness & Vieira right and wrong

15th April 2011 admin

As much as I love Bacary Sagna in the side, I love his no nonsense approach to defending. I also enjoy watching the marauding runs of Emmanuel Eboue at home. Having said that I think a game as big as Liverpool would suit Sagna as we can expect the opposition to venture out of their half more than

RIP Fiszman, Usmanov the knight in shining armour? & I miss Vermaelen’s shooting

14th April 2011 admin

He has a bursting urge to drive tens of lorries packed with £50 notes into the Emirates. He wants to sit Arsene down by a candle light dinner and convince him to spend all his cash as he deserves it. Usmanov wants Arsenal fans to be happy and for Arsenal to win every single game without conceding any goals and scoring fives and sixes every game. Then we can all live happily ever after, although I still think that

All change yet no apparent change at Arsenal FC

11th April 2011 admin

Yet there are plenty of questions and answers to be had. Where does this leave Red and White holdings? The cute and attractive name that hides the face of Alisher Usmanov. It appears that he has lost the race to own Arsenal FC but he does not have to sell his stake if he doesn't want to. Yet, if he

Wenger comes out swinging, the players should follow + Why we will improve

9th April 2011 admin

The media paint a picture of Arsenal being dark and doomy apart from the football we play. Everything else is just a shambles. Everywhere we turn it is Arsenal haven't won a trophy for 6 years, Arsenal cannot defend, Arsenal need steel, Arsene Wenger will not spend, Arsene Wenger is a moaner

Making Sense of Arsenal’s Stumble – The Leadership Conundrum

6th April 2011 William Benn

There initially appears to be just two basic schools of thought on this matter: the first is that Arsenal have a problem with leadership and the second is (amazingly) that Arsenal do not have a problem with leadership. The first is an argument often used by critics of Wenger and the second used by Wenger

Is this confidence & momentum based Arsenal side feasible?

5th April 2011 admin

I have purposefully steered clear of reading around too many places, I dread to think what has been said in certain quarters but I can understand the frustration of our supporters. That being said, I can imagine similar conversations being said amongst the Arsenal staff. When the players really needed the

Strange Goalkeeping mumblings & Title race predictions

1st April 2011 admin

The rumour mill has been in full effect. Goalkeepers are standing in an orderly queue outside Ashburton Grove with their silver pens ready to sign on the dotted line to be Arsene's new goalkeeper. The latest seems to be Bolton's Al Habsi who is on loan at Wigan and he had a man of the match performance at the Emirates earlier this season. First Ajax's Maarten Stekelenburg threw his hat into the ring, Pepe Reina was supposedly the subject

Jens Lehmann will need games, Wilshere & Arshavin’s future

29th March 2011 admin

Jens Lehmann made his Arsenal comeback today for the Arsenal reserves against Wigan. We lost the game 2-1 and apparently Jens was not at his best and made a few errors which isn't at all surprising. He is 41 and hasn't played regular football for sometime now. He will need more time. I expect Manuel Almunia to continue in between the sticks and I am backing him to come through with a good display against Blackburn. Almunia has

Have Arsenal slip ups been a pressing issue? + Jack & Rambo thoughts

27th March 2011 admin

I am no tactical genius so the answer could be quite simple and could be slipping past me but from the evidence that I have seen over the last few seasons, when we fight to win the ball back and hem the opposition back then we are at our best and can beat anyone but when we switch that off

Is Arsene hinting at Jens return? + Vermaelen corrects Wenger slammers

26th March 2011 admin

Individually each of those players are important but they are all equally as important to each other. Alex Song provides a stable platform for the likes of Cesc to play those all important killer passes. Cesc needs movement from his team mates to play those killer passes and the one player who moves
