Campbell’s Soup, Mm Mm Good

Arsene Wenger has been suffering under a media  frenzy as people from all over have been climbing out of the woodwork to hurl insults and questions at him. According to the Independant, he says that Arsenal have improved. Hmm… I think I would agree with him on the condition that we only improved as much [...]

*Sound of Balloon Deflating*

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 [...]

Possible Takeover in progress? But RVP is back!

As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, Lady Bracewell-Smith is looking into the option of selling her shares of Arsenal stock.
Phew. That was a lot of links. It’s like Google news or something. I hope you didn’t click any of them.

Arsenal’s Easy Schedule Thus Far, and the Difficult Schedule Ahead

We’re top o’ the league right now and it feels damn good. What makes it even sweeter is the fact that we have a game in hand.

Gallas as Captain – A Great Decision

I think making Billy Gallas captain of The Arsenal is a great idea. Call me crazy, go on if you must, but I think this is another change in a positive direction. It’s a departure from what we are used to and that’s why I think it will be good.
Gilberto is a great player but [...]

It’s Been a Blast, Freddie

Rumors are swirling that our man Freddie Ljungberg has played his last game for The Arsenal. He is confirmed to be injured for the rest of the season, and everyone seems to feel there isn’t a place for him on the squad anymore. Wenger has almost hinted as much as well.
True or not? I don’t [...]

Fourth Ain’t So Bad

It looks as though our fourth place spot has been secured. Potentially we could take 3rd if Liverpool slips up, which is quite possibly with their focus on the Champion’s League final… lousy scousers. Given the turmoil of our season, the injuries, and the new blood, fourth is really good. In fact I’m quite happy [...]

Thoughts on the Carling Cup Final

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 [...]

Carling Cup Viewing from the U S of A

As mentioned here on ArsenalAmerica there is a gathering of sorts for Los Angeles gooners. I encourage you to stop by the Fox and Hound and check it out. For that matter there are several American viewing parties being organized, so I hope that you can find some like minded individuals for Sunday morning’s affair.
I [...]
