The other day I asked some Arseblog readers on Twitter if they had any questions they'd like Lee
Dixon to answer. I gave the questions to the nice people at IAMPLAYR and they put together this
video.
And Lee still says 'Arseblog' like a slightly rude word. Enjoy.
Sadly he didn't get asked my favourite question asked by @Zapp83 "Would he rather be attacked by
12 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck, wearing an Arsenal shirt?

Alan Hansen has been forced to apologise after unwittingly referring to the black players
affected by the ongoing Suarez and Terry racism cases as 'coloured' not once but twice on Match of
the Day last night.
Hansen, who was making a point about the strides made vis-a-vis racial tolerance in the modern
game, said:
"I think there's a lot of coloured players in all the major teams and there are lots of coloured
players who are probably the best in the Premier League.
Appreciation
The legends descended on the hallowed turf of the Grove. This is probably the first time that
I've ever used hallowed turf and new-ish stadium in the same sentence. For me (and I'm sure many
others too), Highbury remained the truly real Arsenal stadium. However, with each match/season and
the growing memories, not forgetting the continual Arsenalisation of the stadium, Emirates Stadium
is turning into home.
After the remarkable prediction on the Norwich game, it seems that fans are taking Lee Dixon very
seriously when he predicts the outcome of games. Writing on his BetFair column ahead of tonight's
Champions League game ...
Lee Dixon take a bow. The former Gunner made four predictions for the game in his betting
preview and got them all right. Over 2.5 goals, Morrison to score, RvP to get a brace, and Arsenal
to win.
As with most games there can be arguments that the end was nervy and it could have been another
disappointing draw.
An ice age ago Arsenal played their last game, would I be correct in thinking we beat WBA? And
our last away fixture was .... remind me?
Before the Interlull
Very excited to see us back playing Norwich. Lovely town, good beer and pubs, beautiful
countryside.
Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two
different lines of sight. The same scientific practice can be applied to Match of the Day as James
Shaw will vividly discuss. Entertainment is, and can certainly be construed, as simplistic.
As one theoretical term alludes to; entertainment is a form of escapism.
It must be international week: everyone has got far too much time on their hands. But some are
putting the extra time to good use by producing spoof trailers for blockbuster films starring
ex-Arsenal right-back and current BBC pundit Lee Dixon. This reworking of Frost / Nixon is light on
Watergate scandal but features a [.
In the wake of Sven Goran Eriksson's opinion that Arsene Wenger would be the ideal next England
manager, bookmakers have installed the Frenchman at odds of 25/1 to take over from Fabio Capello
when the Italian's contract is up next year.
Needless to say, few people will be in agreement with Eriksson's opinion and anyone with a brain
cell will not really believe this will actually happen, moreover there is no way that the Arsenal
boss would even consider taking the post (fortunately for England fans).
According to Arsenal, one of the Club's primary objectives is to embrace the future and move
forward. According to many, the opposite is taking place. Speaking after Sunday's 2-1 defeat at
White Hart Lane against Tottenham ...
Lee Dixon is becoming an embarrassed man watching his beloved Arsenal, aren't we all, but
unfortunately he does not see things getting any better and he has his doubts on whether Arsene
Wenger can guide the side to a top eight finish. A top eight finish sounds great right now, but
that would not even [.

Former Arsenal defender Lee Dixon who is often giving out Sporting tips - has claimed that
the Gunners might struggle to make the top eight in the Premier League this season if their
defensive woes continue.
Arsene Wenger's men lost 2-1 to arch rivals Spurs at the weekend, their fourth loss of the
Premier League season.
Today all Gooners must do their duty. They must recall the greatness of the past and temporarily
cast aside the divisions that recently have weakened the Arsenal Faith. If you feel that you can't
then let me try to get you to understand why you support this club. What ever your age, I want you
to recall the Arsenal Legends for whom a day like this was the day to sweat blood for the
cause.
For a long time now, the media have portrayed us as a club in crisis. Over the last few years,
Arsene Wenger's methods which were once admired and revered have been questioned and put under
scrutiny. We, as Arsenal fans are very loyal to Wenger as we don't – or can't – forget all the
great work he's done in the past.
I really haven't got the heart to go through the papers this morning. I haven't the slightest
desire to read the depressing reports of the Arsenal's 4-3 defeat at the hands of Blackburn in the
Premier League encounter.
Neither do I want to read AW's post-match musings. 'Cos, let's face it we don't need
reminding.
Former Arsenal defender Lee Dixon is convinced the Gunners will get all three points when they play
Blackburn Rovers, away from home, on Saturday. Writing on the Betfair website, the Englishman
explained that last Tuesday's performance ...
Former Arsenal captain Lee Dixon is backing his old side to come good against Blackburn Rovers
this weekend. The defender turned pundit believes that the Gunners have turned a corner since
their 8-2 thrashing at the hands of Manchester United three weeks ago.
"Our rehabilitation continued in midweek with a Champions League point at Borussia Dortmund.
Despite signing four players on the last day of the summer transfer window, former Arsenal defender
Lee Dixon believes the Gunners could finish outside the "Top Four", this season. Writing on the
Independent website, the Englishman ...
Hate to say I told you so about Arsenal's thrashing, plus why I'm not tempted to come
out of retirement
Modesty forbids me from reminding anyone that Arsenal's defeat at Old Trafford was forecast by a
certain sage on this page. Click here for proof! OK, I didn't see the 8-2 scoreline coming nobody
did but I did predict a convincing Manchester United win.
Open season on Arsenal's demise continues apace: Smudger gives five reasons why we're 'on the
slide', the Guardian's David Hytner on our transfer shortcomings and Martin Keown offers his
blueprint on how to turn us around. The most telling thing from the latter relates to our gameplan,
or defending, at Old Trafford: "There is such uncertainty over the basics".
Former Arsenal defender Lee Dixon believes that the departure of Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri will
allow Aaron Ramsey and Jack Wilshere to take more responsibility in midfield. Writing on the
BetFair website, the Englishman explained ...
Chris Samba can solve Arsenal's dodgy defending and emerge as a lionheart leader in the same
mould as Gunners legend Tony Adams. Emirates boss Arsene Wenger is in desperate need of a
no-nonsense central defender and has been linked with a £10million move for the Blackburn Rovers
stopper.
And Arsenal legend Lee Dixon believes the giant Congo international, 27, fits the bill perfectly
to fill a void in the heart of his back four.
According to former defender Lee Dixon, if Arsenal don't strengthen the defensive department and
learn how to defend set-pieces then next season they might drop out of the Top Four. Writing on the
BetFair website, the ...

It's just become abundantly clear why Arsene Wenger moved quickly to snap up Carl Jenkinson from
Charlton this summer he fits the mould down to a 'T': great technique, a cool head, supreme vision
and absolutely no idea which way he's supposed to be shooting.
Morning all, quick Sunday round-up for you.
Pre-season continued yesterday with a 2-1 win over Cologne in Germany video highlights here. We
scored all the goals too. New boy Gervinho kicked off his Arsenal career in some style with two
nice finishes, set up first by Jack Wilshere and then Theo Walcott.

Ian Wright, Tony Adams, Ray Parlour, Nigel Winterburn, Martin Keown, Paul Merson, Alan Smith, Perry
Groves, Lee Dixon. No, its not a list of Arsenal's 50 greatest footballers, but it certainly reads
like one. It ...
Fed up with the brain-dead, sound bite-honking dullards at the forefront of BBC Sport? Then why
not turn them into a card game?
BBC Sport. Let's face it, it's basically dead. Once an opulent Roman empire of punditry with Des
Lynam as its silver-dusted Caesar – in the past ten years it has crumbled.
Fabregas has been constantly linked with a move back to Catalunya to join his boyhood
club and European champions Barcelona who have made no secret of their desire to sign the
Spaniard.
Reflecting on the on-going transfer saga, French fullback Bacary Sagna is of the opinion that
the Gunners captain is desperate to move to the Camp Nou and be reunited with his family in his
home town as the Catalan giants prepare to launch a £35million summer raid.
Former Arsenal fullback Lee Dixon believes the future of Andrey Arshavin could be away from Arsenal
as his body language on the pitch shows that he is not a happy man. The Englishman who just ...
Arsenal legend Lee Dixon was interviewed last week and sat down to answer questions that were

Twenty two years this day the league title hung in balance as Arsenal needed two goals to win
against Liverpool at Anfield on the last day.
Alan Smith got them going but one goal was not going to be enough and as each tense moment
ticked by it was looking like Liverpool had sealed league victory.
Former Arsenal defender Lee Dixon believes manager Arsene Wenger is doing an exceptional job in
charge of the Gunners but has to understand that leaders are needed in the squad. Speaking to BBC,
the Englishman explained ...
Every great team is built around solid leadership within the team.
Mark Lawrenson believes that Arsene Wenger needs to find more leaders for his Arsenal side, or to
change his overall philosophy.
Arsene Wenger must win a trophy this season - or look at changing his philosophy at
Arsenal.
