Arsenal FC – Mesut Ozil Disappearing Act is No Reason to Panic
With Mesut Ozil disappearing and Aaron Ramsey playing too far away from the box most of the match, Olivier Giroud remained the only hope for Arsenal to come away with something from the Old Trafford.

The Sexy Football Calendar of 2014
In 2013, it was all about the managers. In 2014, the sexy football calendar takes shots at the big wigs of the sport (Sepp Blatter, Michel Platini) and a player or two as well, giving a sexy, funny and insulting vision on some of the sport’s most powerful people, which shouldn’t be taken seriously all the time.

Arsenal FC – Mesut Ozil Had it Easy So Far

Arsenal FC – Olivier Giroud Shouldn’t Be Irreplaceable
It’s hard to complain about Arsenal as they hit the international break still in the lead of the Premier League, as Jack Wilshere finds his scoring touch for the first time in three years.

Arsenal FC – Mesut Ozil & Aaron Ramsey Thriving Side by Side
Even without playing a single midfielder with tendencies to play on the wing, Arsenal had a look about them during the first half of having an extra player to their opponent, as the switching between Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey worked perfectly, leaving themselves and other players wide open on almost every other attack to ensure the victory before the end of the first half.

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.
