  • Arsenal FC – Theo Walcott Brings Just a Bit of Change

    Arsenal FC – Theo Walcott Brings Just a Bit of Change

    The pressure and the results did their thing; Arsene Wenger decided to start Theo Walcott, who rewarded his manager with a goal and looking dangerous in the moment Arsenal managed to shake off the pressure they were under, later avoiding any questions about his future and contract situation with the club.

  • Arsenal FC – Can’t Win With Olivier Giroud

    Arsenal FC – Can’t Win With Olivier Giroud

    If anyone needed convincing, a Saturday at Old Trafford was more proof of how Arsene Wenger made a huge mistake by putting the hopes and dreams of Arsenal in the legs of Olivier Giroud; not the only problem the team has, but certainly not a striker of the adequate level for a team that talks about winning the Premier League and bigger titles.

  • Arsenal FC – Jack Wilshere and a Successful Comeback

    Arsenal FC – Jack Wilshere and a Successful Comeback

    Yes, it was Mikel Arteta who scored the goal for a struggling and lacking of confidence Arsenal team, but the man who made this win matter more than it should was Jack Wilshere, returning to the game of football after over a year of rehabbing and waiting. While it might be some sort of boost to a sluggish side, it’s definitely not the answer to all the problems.

  • Arsenal FC – Gervinho and Lukas Podolski Keep Scoring

    Somehow, Arsenal are making up for the departure of their best player and scorer. Gervinho, of all people, is leading the gunners with 5 goals this season, although some of them, like his fluke striker against Olympiakos, haven’t been top class. Lukas Podolski is right behind him, making sure people don’t forget this team does have scoring option without actually playing a productive striker.

  • Arsenal FC – Blaming it all on Laurent Koscielny

    Instead of trying to find positives from their game (not much), Arsene Wenger stabbed the problem right at the heart. Soft, sub-par defending. He didn’t mention any names, but it was obvious who he was referring to – Laurent Koscielny.

  • Premier League – Arsenal vs Chelsea Predictions

    Chelsea might be the team leading the league, but they don’t seem to be impressing anyone with their ability. The wins are still coming, winning 13 of 15 possible points so far. Everyone is complimenting Arsenal for both their offense and defense, but they’ve won only two matches so far this season.

  • Arsenal FC – Theo Walcott Wants to be THE Striker

    Is Theo Walcott the answer? Arsenal are looking for a striker to give them 15-20 goals a season, with Arsene Wenger peering towards the transfer market in January, but his answer for on and off scoring problems might be waiting for him, contract dispute and all, on his bench.

  • Arsenal FC – A Sign That This is the Season for Arsene Wenger

    A match that Arsenal usually drop might be a sign that this season will be different. Maybe a title is in the cards for Arsene Wenger and his team, which unlike most years, seem to have the mental toughness and the stout enough defense to come from behind and hang on in a very tough away match that they usually lose.

  • Arsenal FC – Lukas Podolski Can’t Stop Scoring

    A visit to Montpellier was supposed to be about Olivier Giroud meeting the club he played for last season, but after Arsenal went behind after nine minutes, it stopped being a friendly stroll and serious business, meaning the better players step up. Lukas Podolski, that means, scoring his third goal in three matches for the gunners, winning 2-1 with a come from behind kicker.

  • Arsenal FC – The Cost of Building the Current Squad

    Despite common belief, Arsenal don’t get all their players from their youth system, and even there, half of them are purchased from somewhere else. Arsene Wenger has an eye for talent, yes, but he needs to spend to get that young talent, with the current squad of Arsenal players assembled for £163.4 million.
