I don’t really know where to start. Everything seemed to be going so well for our makeshift squad as we were 2-0 up against a woeful Wigan in the 80th minute. That should really be the end of the story. Unfortunately, the B team we had on the pitch forgot to finish the game and [...]

Well that didn’t go too well. The stars and planets have aligned and Tottenham’s “once every 11 year win-at-home against Arsenal” was apparently due. The game was pretty one sided except for the 2 goals Tottenham managed to produce. Arsenal maintained 66% of ball possession and pulled off 8 more shots on goal, although only [...]

Barcelona are now our most bitter of foreign rivals. I can’t wait until we play them again, when we actually have a team without any injuries.
Unfortunately that is unlikely to happen given our penchant for easy knocks and breaks.
I will say though that given the number of injuries we had, we did surprisingly well. Some [...]

Let’s not jinx this. But it feels good to be at the top. Arsenal played another brilliant game on Saturday at White Hart Lane. We won 3-1 in what I think was a much deserved three point affair. The side is really starting to look good and play well together. It’s great that goals are [...]

What a remarkable performance by “the kids” on Sunday. This final was by far one of the most wholly entertaining matches I’ve seen in a long time. I am still reeling a bit about everything this game included and I feel like I need to watch it again to see everything. However before that happens [...]

Thus concludes two relatively poor performances in a row by The Gunners. While the game did have a few highlights we never really looked like we cared until PSV slid one just past Lehmann. It’s a familiar tale where urgency only comes out of the risk of a loss.
Instead of writing a full match report, [...]

Well I think I need a stiff drink after that. We can’t make a habit of coming from behind to win… we need to just win outright. Here are the five things that struck me most during that match.
Firstly, thank you Tomas Rosicky. That header was brilliant and it saved the Arsenal from more potential [...]

Well I’ve been away for quite some time haven’t I? My apologies. I was busy enjoying my time off during the holidays and getting engaged.
It was a splendid day today as Arsenal beat Liverpool 3-1 at Anfield. This is the second time we’ve beat Liverpool this season, the first at Emirates 3-0. [...]

Well that’s more like it. Arsenal beat Blackburn 6-2 in a thrilling match that shouldn’t be soon forgotten. Despite periods of inconsistency with appalling play the team played extremely well.
Blackburn went up 1-0 inside the first three minutes. This is a trend that is now to be expected. Toure was called for [...]

I’ll start by calling Portsmouth a disaster. Yes, we pulled off a draw after going down by two. But, we went down by two. It’s completely unacceptable for The Arsenal to go down by two goals after 47 minutes, at home, against Portsmouth. If it were yesteryear and the team of 03-04 were [...]
