Your Vision – Let’s look at the Positives

As the title suggest, there have been a few positives in the past weeks that we tend to overlook based on the overall context of our terrible results. We are in the middle of our worst start in the Premier League and we are being lambasted, rightfully so, from all around us. However, there are some things in each match that I have tried to latch on too in order to keep my hopes

Jack’s absence could put Wenger’s plans on hold & International recovery

Jack Wilshere is a special talent, a teenager that more than held his own against the best midfield trio in world football at the Emirates on that famous night against Barcelona. He is the one player that I think will replace Cesc Fabregas in terms of game influence. I really believed that we would see a stronger Jack Wilshere at the start of this season. He had that glow around him in the early pre season

These players are overpaid, quick give them a new contract

There are several other points I have missed but I will keep this simple. So plenty of fans are annoyed at players like Denilson for being paid pretty much what a first team squad player is paid at a rival club yet in the same breath we are distraught that 'Why wasn't Nasri's contract dealt with earlier?' I make elephants look like goldfish. I remember a certain Mathieu Flamini was being portrayed as a useless midfielder who couldn't pass, couldn't control the ball, didn't score goals and was generally Denilsonized. He was not good enough for Arsenal and should be replaced. This was until the next season where he replaced

Your Vision – All we need to do is look at Barcelona

So that's six years without a trophy. Let me think, who does that remind me of? Hmm, let's see, oh yeah, Arsenal. We have gone six years without a trophy whilst we have invested in youth such as Fabregas, van Persie, Walcott, Song and Wilshere but to name a few. Just like Barcelona did in between 99 and 05. This was the time when Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Pique and Messi were coming

Strange Goalkeeping mumblings & Title race predictions

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

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

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

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

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

Ramsey may benefit from Wilshere’s busy summer + Barca games start early

Cesc, I love you dearly. You have been fantastic for Arsenal and I hope you see out your best years at Arsenal and wait for our very promising youngsters such as Wilshere and Ramsey to be experienced and developed enough to replace you but if you leave then such is life. We are the Arsenal, we will continue and open a new chapter. It is just not worth investing so much emotion in wondering if a player will stay at the club or
