The comment regarded Theo Walcott and was dropped by ‘James Robin’. It went as follows: “If we have players that need development, why aren’t they [...]

First things first, some theme music to go with today’s post. I know this is a completely selfish thing for me to say but I’m going to say it anyway: the first international break of the season could not have come at a better time.

There will undoubtedly be a lot of articles over the next day or so that label Arsenal’s Champions League draw as “easy”. In truth, it is anything but. Shakhtar Donetsk, Sporting Braga and Partizan Belgrade are not big names in European football, but once the novelty factor of Eduardo’s early reunion with Arsenal subsides a [...]

Arsene Wenger has confirmed the signing of French centre-back Sebastien Squillaci from Sevilla. “We needed a centre-back of quality and experience if possible, and at the right price – he was all of that.

AFCB writer Daniel Brookes comments on Theo Walcott in ‘From The Left Wing’… You have to feel sorry for Theo Walcott sometimes.

AFCB’s tactics guru Andrew Enloe underlines Blackpool’s naivety against Arsenal… This is going to be a short one. Honestly there was very little tactical interest from an Arsenal perspective in this game; it was a match between a title challenger and last season’s favorites for relegation from the Championship.

On paper, Blackpool at home is the easiest fixture that Arsenal will play this season. But after the Tangerines’ surprising 4-0 win away to Wigan on the opening day they will be feeling a sense of “euphoria”, as Arsene Wenger has put it, and may play with a dangerous lack of doubt at The Emirates.
