My Apology To Arsene Wenger

Well I have been well and truly made to look like a plunker (and it’s not that hard to be fair).

Going off a quote from BBC Football, I incorrectly took it out of context and came to the wrong assumption about Arsene Wenger and his comments on Danny Welbeck.

Like most of you, I’m busy at work today and try to get snippets of Arsenal news whenever I can, and the article I quickly read only had the quote which could be construed in different ways.

I’ve managed to catch bits of the actual press conference now and get the comment in contents – and admit I was completely wrong.

Apologies for Arsene Wenger and any fans I’ve offended.

Not for the first time, I’ve been made to look like a right muppet.

Who Should Play As Arsenal’s Main Striker? Olivier Giroud or Danny Welbeck?

If everyone was fit and healthy (yes, I know, don’t laugh) and we had a full squad to pick from, who would be your choice as Arsenal’s main striker?

The days of 4-4-2 have long gone now and with our fluid 4-3-3 system, there’s only space for one central striker. So who would you choose?

Would you go with Olivier Giroud, a player who is improving all the time and brings others into play? Or Danny Welbeck, a warrior who can run in behind and has pace to burn?

Or alternatively, you could call upon the other players who Arsene Wenger has identified as possibilities as Arsenal’s main man – Theo Walcott, Alexis Sanchez, Lukas Podolski and Joel Campbell can all apparently play that role.

And then we have Yaya Sanogo, a player who is raw and divides opinion like no other.

So who would you play in the central striking position?

I Bet Manchester United Fans Feel A Bit Stupid Now…

England played against Switzerland tonight in their first Euro 2016 qualifier and won 2-0, with two goals from Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck.

After mocking me for pretending to buy an Arsenal shirt with Falcao on the back, and the abuse thereafter, I bet they feel stupid now.

Welbeck is young, full of potential and is hungry to improve. Radamel Falcao is a mercenary who is regularly looking for his big pay day (not unlike Wayne Rooney).

Danny Welbeck is going to fantastic for Arsenal, and we thank Manchester United for selling him to us.

If a decision to sell a player to a rival was going to bite someone in the ass, then it’s this one!

The Arsenal Supporters Choice For Arsenal’s Best Eleven

After giving Arsenal fans the chance to choose their best Arsenal team, the votes are in and the results are below:

Unsurprisingly, Szczesny was chosen in goal and the back four selects itself, despite the impressive performances of 19 year old Calum Chambers. The thinking is obviously is that because of his ability to play in central defence and right back, it would be difficult for him to earn a permanent position in the team right now.

The defensive midfielder role was given to captain Mikel Arteta, and it’s no surprise that Aaron Ramsey is included in the first choice eleven.

Surprisingly however, Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere were pipped by Mesut Özil for the other central midfield role.

Up front, Danny Welbeck was the surprise choice ahead of Olivier Giroud, maybe with Arsenal supporters preferring someone who has a bit of pace to run in behind – something we’ve been severely missing for the last 12 months.

The supporting acts chosen were Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott – the two speed demons of the team.

So there you have it, the Arsenal supporters choice for Arsenal’s first choice eleven.

The transfer window is officially over and Arsenal’s squad for the 2014-2015 season has been made official (well, until January at least) and we exactly which players we can choose from for the next few months.

So what is your best Arsenal eleven?

Here you can choose your best eleven players, and then at 7pm tonight (UK time) I will confirm the eleven players with the most votes (in each position) and see which team you, the fans, have picked as your best Arsenal team.

For the purposes of this poll, the system used will be based on Arsenal’s typical 4-3-3 formation:

So what you will have to do is select a goalkeeper, a back four, a defensive midfielder, two central midfielders, two more advanced attacking midfielders and a centre forward. As Calum Chambers can play either right back or centre back, I’ve added two options for him (depending on which position you want him in).

So there you have it, pick your best eleven players from the list below and I’ll collate the results and publish the fans Arsenal team at 7pm!
