Arsenal FC – Mesut Ozil Has Never Looked Worse

Arsenal FC – Olivier Giroud Thriving Under These Conditions
We’re at this point of the season in which Arsenal need to start proving they’re not only winners with style, but also a team that can pull three points out of rough matches with their teeth.

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 – Theo Walcott Strikes Before it Got Really Boring
Boring Arsenal is no longer a chant attached to the team George Graham led to win two Premier League titles over 20 years ago. It’s alive and well, even under the hands of the Arsene Wenger, who’s no longer the magician he used to be. Theo Walcott may have broken the club’s Premier League record for quickest ever goal, but there was nothing too impressive in the 89 minutes that followed.
