As it is the time of year where people tend to reflect on the many reasons they have to be thankful, here’s a few things (in no particular order), Arsenal supporters can count their blessings for:
Being top of the table
The best manager in all the world, Arsene Wenger
Cesc Fabregas
Arsenal America, the single most valuable resource for American Arsenal supporters
Bacary Sagna, Gael Clichy,...

A lot of rumors going around about a variety of things, and I haven’t seen much of it being very positive, thats for sure. I figured I’d give my 2 cents on a few hot topics, and give us all an area to debate the Summer Silly Season that we all loathe annually.
(at least I dread it, because our top names are constantly rumored to be going elsewhere)
1. Thierry Henry:
I believe the man is frustrated with our lack of success, and lack of experience in the squad. He wants to win now, as he’s at the peak of his career, and doesn’t have time to wait for...

Hey, just thought I’d throw this out there:
Love Wenger, big fan of everything he has done for the club. I believe he will be considered one of the 10 great managers in the history of top flight football in England. But, maybe, after 10 years, it’s time for the lads in the dressing room to hear another voice. How about Arsene moves to the front office in a technical director’s role and a new manager slots in? That new manager?
Ronald Koeman
Fantastic pedigree. As a player he...

The comments of the last few weeks are understandable. I agree with some of them (Baptista and Aliadiere should go, Flamini sucks, Fabregas is either tired or has been found out, Arsenal cannot defend set pieces nor can it punish teams with corners, the wide midfielders Arsenal has are not true wingers, Lehman’s time may be up, Eboue needs to learn how to behave, Wenger should fess up more often and call out several of his men, Arsenal needs someone, anyone, to hold the players internally accountable.) I...

EXPERIENCE. Hugely under-rated by Arsene and the Arsenal, and we’re paying the price for it.
The recurring theme over the last few years has been experienced proven players leave, and young kids come in…
Just because a player reaches a certain age… it doesn’t mean he can’t contribute significantly to the team. Bergkamp, Pires, Vieira… these are class players who were solid contributors. Bergy retired, but he certainly had his moments in his last few seasons. Pires and...

Lead up to my previous article.
I had written an article in which I had submitted a realistic submission of what the Arsenal squad should look like next season.I had not put in Flamini as a midfielder.It is not that I hate him,but it is just that I really feel he is not Arsenal standard.
Yesterday,our team had a off day.It was really really boring.It was frustating.I just thought imagine the plight of someone who was paying 50 pounds plus for this game.
Anyway,coming back to the point.Flamini.I...

well fans, with the upcoming fixture v. PSV on 7 march, we will have the dubious opportunity to officially be eliminated from 3 cup competitions in the span of 11 days…. we had been experiencing a nice run of form since the new year, prior to that lackluster champions’ league leg 1 yawner last week. then came the carling cup fiasco. you have got to hand it to chelsea, (he says with much sarcasm), they eked one out with a full strength side in defense of two straight EPL championships versus a side that virtually needed similac at the half just to avoid proverbial nap time. the...

There seems to be some discord going on over at mighty Barcelona.
They still lead La Liga… but I have heard the rumors of Ronaldinho going elsewhere possibly, and now the big issue with Eto and the 2 factions in the locker room.
Obviously, HYPOTHETICAL… but if we could swap Cesc for Ronaldinho… would you do it?
It would go against “the Arsenal way” of getting younger (and younger and younger!)… but Ronaldinho is only 26. Hardly over the hill, and probably not even at his peak. Its possible Cesc will want to play at his beloved Barcelona...

Senderos is an old fashion central half, strong and big, best suit when the team is defending deep, to clear everything in the air.
Arsenal’s playing style though is a high pressure attacking game, pushing the back four up high with an attempt to catch the opponent offside. The downside though is when the offside trap fails, a big lad like Senderos would always find himself struggling to track back on time.
In other words, Arsenal’s defending up high tactic would always make the big central halfs look bad. You can throw John Terry, Garracher there, they wouldn’t...

Its been a few months since the November invasion of Emirates stadium by many of us here, and while we debate the pointlessness of posts about winning the title (I’m sure Wenger is telling his coming into form and maturing young team to start living in the “real world”) and look forward with excitement or dread depending on which side of the grass you live to the ManUre game on Sunday, I though it was high time to write a little something about our visit. In doing so, hopefully some of you will gather enough insight to make the next trip, and maybe others will simply enjoy...
