At clubs where a new manager is trying to piece together a new side with a raft of new signings a degree of patience is accorded to both him and his players. There is a danger when an established manager faces the same challenge that he will not be given the time to complete the […]

“So who have you lot got on Tuesday then?” “Borussia Dortmund, away.” “Tough game. That’s you in trouble from the start” A Chelsea lad has marked my card already, and I’m grateful for his carefully constructed insight. No, really. I watch French football, Spanish football, a bit of Dutch and Argentinian football. How many German […]

“I’m not even slightly interested in our performance, only that we win the game. If we’re shaky at the back and toothless up front but score a goal deflected in off Frimpong’s arse in the final seconds of injury time, I’ll take it. I’m not sure I’ll enjoy it, but I’ll take it.” Prophetic words […]

The latest injury woe to hit the club, namely the loss of Jack Wilshere for 2-3 months, has me wondering about the shape the side will take as we get stuck into a full two matches a week schedule this weekend. The late swoop to grab Yossi Benayoun on loan, […]

It isn’t very often that international breaks yield a day of things worth watching again, but it will be well worth you popping over to 101 Great Goals in order to witness a hat-trick for Ju Young Park as South Korea smoked the Lebanese 6-0. The fella looks an interesting signing on that basis, but […]

So the summer of the long knives is at an end. Wengerball 3 has officially given way to Wengerball 4, and with the deadwood gone it is time to make the judgement on the transfer window dealings. I have to say I have two views on our club. In terms of the players who are […]
