Gunnerrific

That’s right. Situation normal, all f*cked up. It started with the Moscow draw, worsened with the Everton draw, and went downhill since the loss against West Ham. We’ve had the occasional glimmer of hope, like the Liverpool win, but over-all our performance thus far has been tragic. For each step forward, we [...]

This is a short post tonight as I’m much too inebriated to write a well composed, thoughtful post on what was truly a wretched game. We went down early to an American striker, which I unfortunately have the responsibility in calling out in my pre-match report.  The only saving grace was a set-piece from VP11 [...]

Arsene Wenger was just as mad as the rest of the English football world that Thierry Henry was snubbed by ‘the press’ that vote for the European Footballer of the Year Award. However Arsene was absolutely thrilled that Henry won the Gunnerrific Player of the Year Award.
All the news sites and review shows that I [...]

Arsenal captain Thierry Henry was named the first Gunnerrific Footballer of the Year on Monday, beating out Champion’s League winner Ronaldinho and International teammate Zinedine Zidane.
The 29-year-old striker, who captained Arsenal to a thrilling Champion’s League final in May of this year, won the prize with one vote from the author of Gunnerrific, narrowly beating [...]

The Loss
It was a crushing defeat at Bolton over the weekend. It never really looked like we were going to win this match but there were a couple of flashes of brilliance that made it seem like a draw was possible. It was a decent team performance with flat-out poor finishing. The [...]

So it’s Bolton all over again on Saturday. This match has consistently been a thorn in our side for many years now. The squad looks so different nowadays so hopefully the new blood can do us some good.
In interviews on ATVO both Ljungberg and Toure pointed out that this game has [...]

We’ve had a fair amount of injuries as of late, but fortunately there is a bit of good news today. That’s right, no freak injuries at the training grounds. William Gallas and Tomas Rosicky have both had a turn for the better in recovering from their respective injuries.
They’ll both still be out for another [...]

Yesterday’s win was a Chelsea win.  I call it that for several reasons (none of which is that we are diving money-spending cheats).  It wasn’t pretty, it could have gone either way based on chances alone, but we dominated play and possession. The second inspiring goal that we scored to go up was scrappy and [...]

Going down after just 4 minutes was not the way Arsenal wanted to start a home match against Hamburg. Having gone down a goal in several home games, only to manage a draw after the initial shock, it looked like the team was going to follow the pattern once again.
The goal was similar to [...]

Without a doubt Shay Given was the main reason that we only pulled off a draw against Newcastle. Sure, you can blame Eboue all you want for giving too much space to Dyer, but we had a wealth of great shots that should have seen the back of the net. Given was superb, [...]
