Wengers Statement of Intent
October 28, 2010 by marksmith81
Its been a good week for Arsenal, 2 victories inside of 4 days with 7 goals scored none conceded. The victory on Sunday was massive for Arsenal, no doubting that Boyata’a wreckless challenge and red card after 5 minutes put Arsenal in the control of the game, they could even afford the luxury of a rare missed penalty […]

October 11, 2010 by marksmith81
Following Craig Levein’s recent comments about his much talked about 4-6-0 formation I decided to look a bit further into his reasoning and post game comments.

Friday night internationals have taken over from the usual saturday games, im still not sure if im favour of playing internationals on a Friday evening.

Sven has signed a two year deal at Leicester and the ambition is get them into the Premier League, although his priority should be […]
