Luck and Decisions Desert Arsenal
Another defeat and its doom and gloom from all circles. Every time we concede a goal, there is an inquisition as to our ability to defend. If we look a little bit closer we can see that luck has deserted us and we have a tendency to self-destruct. Game one against Newcastle saw both Gervinho...
Summer of Disaster – The Transfer Market
We have a torrid start to the season, let’s not get deluded we have lost 3 games and are now languishing at the bottom of the table. This is not acceptable for the fans nor is it acceptable for Wenger. His comments after Saturday clearly show his frustration with what is happening at the moment,...
Arsenal Need to Play Ugly Tonight
As Arsenal prepare for a crucial Champions League encounter in Italy, Wenger needs to throw away the blueprint for Arsenal games and get Arsenal to play ugly. Arsenal’s cavalier style of football will not work in Italy, Udinese are team that will play on the counter-attack and from the first leg experience, and they have...
Arsenal In Dire Straits
It’s now or never for Wenger. The squad is the weakest since Arsene’s reign started that there is no doubt. Suspensions and injuries are mounting and we have only played three games. Our squad for today included two players who are outward bound and contained 8 youngsters. Whilst we could see the potential in both...

Three defeats and the fans will be calling for Arsene’s head, three undefeated games and Arsene will have bought time...
1-0 To the Arsenal – Just
Arsenal beat Udinese 1-0 in the first leg of the Champions League play-off. Ramsey looked good in midfield, Gervinho ran his heart out, Vermaelen was solid and Szczesny showed why we do need another goalkeeper. The game started well for Arsenal, with Theo given us the lead after four minutes, after that though it was...
Dream Start or Nightmare Start to the Season for Arsenal
The first game is way to Newcastle followed by a home game with Liverpool sandwiched in between our Champions League qualifier, then just to round off August we travel to Old Trafford. The away game to Newcaslte gives the opportunity to bury that nightmare game of last season when we let a 4 goal lead...
Carling Cup: Arsenal v Liverpool
Arsenal face Liverpool tonight in the Carling Cup, a competition that Wenger has religiously used to give reserves, youth players and first team squad players a run-out. We have had some success over the years, reaching one final and three semi-finals, so the policy has its merits. I would like Wenger to take the competition...
