Match Report: HERE This was never going to be a walk in the park. Everton are one of the hardest working and most improved teams in the top flight, who have only lost five times this year. Most pre-match predictions had an Arsenal win, but only by the odd goal. In the end a fixture [...]

Following Tomas Rosicky’s first two league goals of the season, Arsenal withstood immense late pressure to hang on to a 2-1 victory at The Hawthorns and three invaluable points. The result moves The Gunners temporarily back into the top four, and keeps the pressure on Chelsea and Spurs. With our two main rivals for the [...]

Match Report Highlights Yesterday morning a consortium in the Middle East talked publicly of bidding £1.5bn for the club, but added the veiled threat that this figure would be less if the team failed to qualify for the Champion’s League. The afternoon’s events probably knocked a hundred million [...]

After the last seven days, Arsenal came into this one REALLY needing a win. For the oft mentioned eighth year in a row, Arsene Wenger’s side watched the hop of trophies disappear over the horizon, an in more embarrassing circumstances than ever before under his stewardship. For once, the home side didn’t find themselves crippled [...]

After much wailing and gnashing of teeth about inconsistency, starting poorly and lack of intestinal fortitude, Arsenal answered some questions yesterday against at the Stadium of Light. This was not an Arsenal performance identifiable with any particular vintage, but was a hybrid of several. At different points we saw the passing and movement of the [...]

There are many ways you could look at Arsenal’s one nil win at the Stadium of Light yesterday. The negative amongst us will look at the numerous chances wasted and the fact that we didn’t have to make the game as hard for ourselves as we did, and they would have a point. The optimistic [...]

Highlights: So the truth is out. I am a massive RPG geek to add to my obsessions with sport and history and acting. Normally I keep it under the hat, but when the tribe of Pulis comes to town, it’s hard not to go all a bit Lord of the Rings. However, it is important [...]

If you wanted to give a summary of Arsenal’s 2012/13 campaign to this point, you could simply play the video of last night’s game. It was like an inventory of all the things we love and hate about this team. Full Stadium with away fans protesting about ticket prices – CHECK Comedy defending combined with [...]

It didn’t really feel like Christmas without Arsenal, once again, on Boxing Day did it? And let’s face it, there hasn’t been anything that could be described as ‘festive cheer’ since then but as Arsenal get ready to face West Ham in the rearranged fixture, memories of matches past can at least raise a wry [...]

I’m not quite sure what it is that Arsene Wenger or Steve Bould say at half time during matches these days but it seems as if they might be best saying it before kick-off and save us all the pain of what has become Arsenal in first halves this season. It was all too predictable. [...]

This match had a Man City win written all over it beforehand. – Their title rivals had won, meaning the visitors would be fighting from the kick off against this notoriously slow starting Arsenal side. – Arteta, last season’s matchwinner, and the team’s tactically most important player picked up a last minute calf strain, resulting [...]

In any other profession you would have to ask if the employees had been out on the lash the night before, for what other reason could there be for such a dire performance as the one which we witnessed against Southampton on New Year’s Day? From a team which picked off Newcastle and slammed seven [...]

After a good run of recent results only punctured by the Bradford debacle (perhaps appointing the Dalai Lama as club president has contributed to the Bantams extraordinary run in shoot-outs), the Arsenal switch flicks off as quickly as it did on. After today’s visit to the south coast, the extraordinary goal-scoring displays against Reading and Newcastle [...]

Yayyyyy! We won! It’s all brilliant again! Yeah, okay, so it was only Reading. Reading are, unfortunately for them, not only one of the worst teams, or- by definition- the worst team in the division, but also play in a way that makes it easy for a team like Arsenal to cut them to shreds. [...]
