ARSEBLOG News Review

Arsene Wenger has made changes to the team lately.

But he’s also shown us that he’s become an Englishman

For the game against Birmingham he ditched his suit and wore his lucky Reeboks

IT WORKED. A MASTERSTROKE

But AW was never gonna tinker with his formation

A 442 man, le Boss loves the line-up which is as English as tea, smog, Sherlock Holmes and Countdown

442 is ingrained in the English character. City gents march from the commuter train to their offices in 442 formation.

Morris dancers always stick to it

And the Light Brigade even charged in 442!

Arsenal have lost a bit of rhythm in the last few weeks.

For 49 weeks they were playing like a symphony orchestra.

For the past 5 they’ve been like an avante-garde jazz combo

But there are signs that this team is evolving again, inventing a new type of football music

Pires is playing virtuoso sax. Lauren looks to be doing experimental piano work

And Almunia is forging groundbreaking new styles on the maracas.

The rest of the team are still sorting out what instruments they’re gonna play

There’s been rumours of a training ground bust-up between Jose and Freddie over whose gonna play the vibes.

That’s for Wenger to sort out. Already he’s come out in the press and said Dennis is playing jazz triangle!

A key position to fill, that’s a brilliant piece of management

What tune will Arsenal play against Chelsea on Sunday?
