Ainsley Maitland-Niles showed his quality last month. Having plied his trade on loan a couple of seasons ago at Ipswich, where he learnt the ropes of the professional game under wily campaigner Mick McCarthy, the 20-year-old is now seeing the fruits of his labour. The utility man was exceptional in the 2-2 draw with Chelsea, […]

It was telling that after scoring a hat-trick against Everton last weekend, Aaron Ramsey was substituted for Jack Wilshere. The two men have started just one Premier League game together since May 2015 and there are question marks about whether Arsene Wenger believes they can be effective whilst on the pitch at the same time.

There is a simple joy that comes with watching your team win a game of football and we all got to feel that again as Arsenal posted an impressive 2-0 win over West Brom.
Jack Wilshere: out for two to three months. Thomas Vermaelen: out for two months. My reaction: siiiiiiigh. It’s hard to keep a smile for more than a few days around here, isn’t it?

This is the second part of AFCB’s 2010/2011 Season Review, focusing specifically on the players primarily used across the centre of the park this season.

Two: Jack Wilshere said that Jens Lehmann was so vocal and passionate on Sunday that it was like having […]
It was great to see Jack Wilshere and Aaron Ramsey running the show for England and Wales on the weekend. Hopefully a sign of things to come for the Arsenal. Share the love by leaving a comment.
Please listen to this song while reading the post… Laurent Koscielny intercepts the ball for what feels like the hundredth time. He stops Barcelona’s attack dead like a wave breaking on a rocky shore. He pauses for a moment, deliberating over what to do with his second or two in space. Soon confronted by an […]
Jack Wilshere put pen to paper today to a sign a new contract that ensures his future is with Arsenal. It is absolutely fantastic news. His success has been the story of the season and his quality, enthusiasm and will to learn will make him a great player for both Arsenal and England for years […]
While a rash challenge is not good to see, what seems even more frustrating is the seeming impossibility to discuss these things in a rational manner, particularly when they concern the Arsenal Football Club. Those who watched the game against Birmingham on the weekend would have seen Jack Wilshere’s badly timed challenge on Birmingham striker, […]
