  • NikiWainwright commented on the blog post Has the penny finally dropped at Arsenal?   1 month, 2 weeks ago · View

    I think your are very correct in what you say! When Bouldy reportedly fell out with Wenger at the beginning of the season, that’s when our defence messed up and there was a noticeable difference. Arsene has always had the philosophy that attacking is better and unfortunately I agree that he probably won’t change this [...]

     
  • NikiWainwright commented on the blog post Can Tottenham really achieve both?   1 month, 3 weeks ago · View

    Thanks so much for the comment Indyanna. Tiredness is often the thing that gets to most teams at this time in this season but i think Spurs are capable of battling through that this year :)

     
  • I think you are bang on! Arsene doesn’t inject any fear into the squad anymore so therefore they aren’t as bothered by losing! He lets them get away with a lot and they have found themselves stuck in a rut of comfortability and if they don’t change that soon then they will just get worse! [...]

  • NikiWainwright commented on the blog post Arsenal – The Loan Report   1 month, 3 weeks ago · View

    Thank you for your comment :) I absolutely agree with you. Arsenal have 71 players on the payroll and they hardly use any of them probably a good 20 players could be sold/released this summer.

    Thumbnail When Liverpool sacked Kenny Dalglish last summer and brought in Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers as replacement I think everyone in the football world was a little shocked, even the fans were a little concerned that Rodgers wasn’t the best choice of manager to replace King Kenny at that time.
