Lies, lies and damned captains + Van Persie a true Gooner

25th March 2011 admin

Stuart Pearce is having a blinking bubble bath if he is seriously considering picking Jack Wilshere for the U21 European Championships. Pearce has vowed to include the top players including Jack Wilshere and Andy Carroll. With the latter it is not so much an issue as injury has robbed him of playing time during this season. Jack Wilshere is a different case, not only has he played almost a full season so far, he is in his first full year as an

Wenger isn’t like some fans & What it could be like winning the league at the Emirates

18th March 2011 admin

I have pretty much said all that needs to be said about it really. I hope he doesn't play too much but I hope he does get the chance to wave goodbye on the pitch. Preferably with a title winners medal around his neck come last home game of the season against Aston Villa. That would be

Forget JD, Chamakh’s Belief and Another Little Miyaichi to Play With?

17th March 2011 admin

If we can somehow get to the Man U game with Theo Van Nasregas in attack then I personally think we will score enough against them to win. Our first choice frontline is the most varied and dangerous in the land when fit and on form but ‘fit’ and ‘on form’ are the key words in the sentence. With that in mind we will need some good performances between now and then and no small amount of luck to

If You Eat Caviar Every Day It's Difficult To Return To Sausages

14th March 2011 William Benn

But the sausages we’ve been eating haven’t actually been that bad, have they? Sure the quality has fluctuated but at times they have been pretty damn scrumptious and we’ve gobbled them up by the bucket load without a second thought. And let’s just say for one second that we did bring in a new chef and it was only after he started that we realised our kitchen didn’t even have the ingredients for sausages or caviar and we were forced to eat tripe for the foreseeable future. It was only because our previous chef had somehow managed to make tasty sausages out of old Fairy washing up liquid bottles that we had been eating as well as we had all these years. Imagine that. Then we’d be screwed, wouldn’t we?

Manchester United (a) Thoughts & Predictions: Semi final and psychological control up for grabs

12th March 2011 admin

Chances are that it will be either Tomas Rosicky or Samir Nasri to play in the central role. Nasri has often been overlooked to play in the hole as Arsene likes to utilise his pace to get in behind the opposition

The Cheated Will Prosper – Reason To Be Positive

9th March 2011 William Benn

The core of this piece deals with our mentality but before I begin I want to list some other positives which you are welcome to write out on flashcards, place face down on a table, mix up

A Call to Arms

28th February 2011 William Benn

Unfortunately I fear my temperament pre-match may have had much to do with the eventual performance of my beloved team. While the papers screamed ‘expect’, and Arsenal fans wrote ‘believe’, I could do little more than hope, so lacking in confidence was I that I would finally get to see Arsenal celebrate. They say that art mirrors life, and nowhere was that more true than Sunday. I was far more nervous for this game than I had ever

Why Wenger’s squad is set to dominate English football

26th February 2011 admin

In my eyes our season changed after we lost 1-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford. We came out the next Monday against Chelsea a totally different animal. Our work rate increased, our desire and commitment had shot through the roof. We no longer looked like a talented yet inconsistent side

Let the Arsenal v Barca talk commence

14th February 2011 admin

Although Barcelona are fantastic going forward, it is not what they do on the ball that scares me it is what they do when we have the ball that frightens me more. If it was a case of their attack against our attack then I would feel more relaxed about the game but Barcelona are the masters of pressing from the front. Everton caused us problems at the Emirates by stopping our players build up the game and it punctured our game.

Newcastle (a) Post Match Thoughts: Dowd makes me question the PL & My Diaby backing

7th February 2011 admin

We are talking about a man who was 'attacked' by Dan Smith for it seems, no reason. He had his ankle shattered and has still suffered as a result of that injury. We are talking about a man who had studs from Paul Robinson high in his leg without a foul being given. We are talking about a man who had his ankle stamped on by Michael Essien at Stamford Bridge, given his lack of playing time this season due to injury that is quite a few assaults from players and I am sure I have missed out a few more
