Arsenal FC – No One Wants to Fire Arsene Wenger Anymore
Success erases anger and doubt. Arsene Wenger was the most maligned manager in the Premier League before the season started, but one under the radar signing (Mathieu Flamini) and another huge and uncharacteristic one (Mesut Ozil), among other decisions, have made him the most popular figure at the Emirates among Arsenal fans, for now.

Arsenal FC – Mathieu Flamini Trying to Change the ‘Soft’ Image
When it was announced that Mathieu Flamini would be the second signing for Arsenal this summer, few thought that the return of the Frenchman, five years after he left to Italy, would bring the necessary toughness and “badness” this team has been missing for so long.

Arsenal FC – Mesut Ozil Makes the Champions Dream Possible
Only one big signing, and suddenly everything seems to be completely different. Mesut Ozil hasn’t been at his finest since arriving at Arsenal, but whatever he’s done so far has been enough to put the Gunners on top of the Premier League and be overflowing with confidence about their chances of finally being an integral part of the title race.

Arsenal FC – Aaron Ramsey Thriving For the First Time Ever
Complaining about squad depth didn’t come with warrant, but at the moment, there isn’t too much wrong with Arsenal, who have now won six consecutive matches in all competitions, and are enjoying, maybe for the first time, an Aaron Ramsey they dreamed about when he first arrived from his Welsh club, and was seemingly lost forever after his awful injury.

Arsenal FC – Aaron Ramsey Becomes the Star He Was Made to Be
Maybe Aaron Ramsey should have been at this place sooner, but serious injuries get in the way. But Arsenal have a huge need for anyone who can raise their game to the level of someone Arsene Wenger isn’t signing, and it seems that Ramsey, for the first time in three years, is doing that bit better than anyone else.

Arsenal FC – Jack Wilshere Continues to Prove He’s Overrated
Everywhere you looked at on the Emirates pitch after a not-so-surprising home loss for Arsenal, you saw a tragic figure. Jack Wilshere, once again failing to deliver amid huge expectations. Laurent Koscielny, deleting all the praises with reckless challenges once again. And Arsene Wenger, who is running out of excuses to sell the media and the public.

Arsenal & Arsene Wenger Shouldn’t Use the Referee as an Excuse
Maybe Anthony Taylor is a terrible referee. He certainly made one huge mistake that gave Aston Villa a penalty and Laurent Koscielny a red card later on. And yet Arsenal and Arsene Wenger have only themselves to blame. For playing in the usual soft, predictable way, and for not bringing in the necessary additions their limited and unbalanced squad needs.

Arsenal FC – Mikel Arteta as Another Symbol of Mediocrity
How many OK midfielders do Arsenal need? A lot, apparently. Mikel Arteta is another one in a long list of not-too-special central midfielders Arsenal have on their roster. The biggest problem? He’s also their most important player at times.

Arsenal FC – Jack Wilshere Needs to Prove He’s Not Overrated
There are still those who are sure that Jack Wilshere is the savior of Arsenal & English football, but with every season and comeback attempt from injury that goes by, it’s getting clearer and clearer that the words ‘Don’t Believe the Hype’ might be fitting the central midfielder quite well.

Arsenal FC – Santi Cazorla Can’t be the Team’s Best Player
Who is the best player on the current Arsenal squad? Santi Cazorla? Theo Walcott? Jack Wilshere? It doesn’t really matter. It doesn’t seem like Arsene Wenger is getting close to signing a big name as the season opener rapidly approaches, so all talk about being title challengers should be regarded as nonsense, no matter who speaks of it.
