First, I must point out that I’m a man of diverse opinions. I try to dissect each Arsenal game I watch, and due to the awesome uniqueness of these matches, there are often new observations. Although I still believe so much in 4-1-4-1 and its endless benefits for this current Arsenal side, the lack of […]
He was there, most definitely. I saw him at the start before it got crowded and a little too frenetic. You could tell it was him, although he did tend to drift in and out of the action. He was gliding around on the left hand side of the room, looking a little disinterested if […]
Invincibles to Unavailables And so it came to pass, with Welbz’s (potential) injury, Arsenal now have a starting XI of sidelined players for Saturday’s face off with Hull Kingston Tigers. Total cost – £120m (give or take a couple of quid) Combined estimated time unavailable – 18 months (give or take a couple of weeks) Combined time […]
Ozil Rumours Ridiculous But All Reflects Badly On Wenger In light of recent rumours that Mesut Ozil has grown unhappy at Arsenal and the club are ready to sell, I had to laugh. Mostly because it’s your weekly BS from the Daily Fail. Three reasons stand out as to why there’s no way Ozil will […]
It’s often said that the Arsenal team starting the season are different to the Arsenal team finishing the season. Throughout the Premier League there’s a belief that Arsenal cannot win the title because the team only play well for one half of the season. Many feel this inconsistency occurs because Arsenal are soft and are unable to remain composed when it matters most, unlike […]
“Fi fi fo fum, I smell the blood of an Englishman, Be he live, or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to make my bread” I find that this poem, as given in Joseph Jacob’s 1890 rendition of the classic English fairytale ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’, is very much applicable to […]
Mesut Ozil seems to be the favourite scapegoat at the minute with some suggesting that he might go down the Andrey Arshavin route of eventually fading due to being played out of position, not tracking back etc… Now I’d be the first to admit that Mesut’s displays have been a tad underwhelming for a few […]
DB’s Season Diary – Week 5 I thought it best to let the dust settle on Sunday’s game, and the fun and games in the aftermath, before I finished this week’s piece, in the hope of at least trying to put some perspective on things. You haven’t read anything from me since before the North […]
There is a word many associate to Arsène Wenger these days, that is the word “project”. First there was the Emirates Stadium project, then the (in)famous youth project, now there’s this we-will-be-competitive-again project. It seems that Arsène Wenger loves to build. I am not bothered at all with all these projects, I admired a lot […]
Daniel Nice Tackle Messiah Welbeck (bloody auto correct!) He’s not the messiah; he’s a very naughty boy! Danny: I’m not the Messiah! Will you please listen? I am not the Messiah, do you understand? Honestly! Tabloid press: Only the true Messiah denies His divinity. Danny: What? Well, what sort of chance does that give me? Alright! […]
