Home of Everything Arsenal
Like an old-school dad trying on his first pair of jeans, Arsene Wenger has relented for the first time since his spectacled, waist-height jacket days to implement a 3-4-3 system that is seemingly in vogue this season.
In a match where Tony Adams saw red after just 13 minutes, Dennis Bergkamp’s sublime chip remains the stand-out moment of a day where Arsenal secured a third-placed finish.

Arsenal’s battle to win the Premier League title has come slightly off the rails over the past month with back-to-back defeats to Everton and Manchester City. They were even forced to come from three goals down to salvage a point away to Bournemouth to keep themselves in the mix.
Gary Neville says that he is surprised at the drop in performance and physical status for Arsenal players in the recent 2-1 loss against Manchester City.

Arsenal player Aaron Ramsey is set to miss the World Cup qualifier for his national team side – Wales – as he is yet to fully recover from a hamstring injury. Wales manager Chris Coleman would likely use the same squad that prosecuted the Moldova game. Leicester City’s Andy King was Ramsey’s replacement in the 4-0 Moldova thrashing, and is likely to be the man again.
Wales would miss forward Simon Church, Jonny Williams, and goalkeeper Danny Ward due to injuries in the game against Austria where more than 4,000 Welsh fans are expected.
With Jamie Vardy now deciding to take his time to think over a possible move to the Emirates there are some fans who wonder whether the Leicester striker is having second thoughts. With his £20 million release clause triggered and personal terms apparently agreed, Arsenal fans were getting ready to welcome one of the season’s sensations.
But now that Vardy has said he will make a decision over a possible move after the European Championships in France will Wenger be looking elsewhere? Big money has been made available, so who could Arsene go for instead?
Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger has blamed the poor atmosphere at home for the failed title challenge this season. He believes that Arsenal form has been impressive away from home, and it is at home that the club has failed to take maximum points.
According to him, it is the toxic atmosphere at home matches that has caused Arsenal to lose points against some of the smaller teams. He said that at a crucial stage of the season the team has been playing in a very difficult atmosphere, and this has not really helped the team at all.
This summer, a number of Arsenal’s first team players will link up with Roy Hodgson and the rest of his 23-man squad ahead of the European Championship in France.
The likes of Mesut Ozil, Laurent Koscielny and Petr Cech are all set to be involved for their respective nations but Gunners fans will be primarily watching how their English stars perform ahead of what could be a defining season in the club’s history.

Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce names that the club will make a decision on the future of defender Emmanuel Eboue when the club returns from a short-term training camp in the Middle East.
The former Arsenal defender has been training with the Wearside club in the last few weeks after having left Turkish outfit Galatasaray last summer.
After making it through to the quarter-final of the FA Cup courtesy of a 4-0 victory in a replay away to Hull City, Arsenal remain on course to defend the trophy once again. They have the hope of winning the cup for the third consecutive year, something which has not been done in this tournament since Blackburn Rovers in 1886.
Arsenal have recently dropped points in games against Manchester United, Swansea City and Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League which means they are at the time of writing eight points behind leaders Leicester in the table and three adrift of North London rivals Spurs.
In what is supposedly Arsenal’s best chance at winning the Premier League since the Invincibles in 2014, they are doing a pretty good job at letting their fans down.
After allowing a 5 point gap to appear between themselves and the unlikely leaders, Leicester City, the Gunners once again face an uphill battle in the final stages. If Arsene Wenger fails to steer this team back on course to victory, is it time for someone else to take the reins?
