Lost
Ok, so the title isn’t too imaginative, but let’s be totally honest, we did lose, we looked lost on the pitch and we appear more and more lost as a club. I am sure that you all saw the “game”, but a quick recap should get us all on the same page. I think that [...]

Cesc, Nasri, defending and Wenger: A look into the summer that has passed and what comes next!?

What do Arsenal defenders practice in training?
Arsenal 2 – 2 Boca Juniors: Emirates Cup After leading 2-0 and drawing in the end, Arsenal fans were told by Wenger to be “relaxed”. I don’t know how Arsenal fans should be relaxed after watching the defenders keep making the silly mistakes over and over again. I always wonder what our defenders do in training. All the goals conceded were the gifts given by Squillaci and Djourou to Boca. If we do sign a [...]

Why Arsène won’t replace Clichy – The disassembly of the clique
Written by Wigan Gooner Arsène won’t replace Gael Clichy. He believes he has a ready-made replacement in Gibbs. Similar to the transfer of Cashley in 2006, Arsène thinks he has a player-in-waiting. I like Kieran Gibbs. I like his desire to get forward and his determination. He’s got more obvious drive than Clichy who I [...]
It is quiet out there, Fabregas might stay after all, Clichy gone? Fixtures shouldn’t be a concern!
When I had last posted on my blog we were close in on Gervinho, Cahill, and Samba. A week later, a week into my vacations, we are still nowhere (or somewhere that only Arsenal can tell). Many have reported that they are done deals and I am hoping th…
