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 [...]

Highlights – HERE Another tight, tense and hard fought win, keeps Arsenal on track for Champion’s League qualification. Aiming for 16 seasons in a row in Europe’s premier competition, Arsenal moved up to third tonight with a little help from a referee’s assistant with selective eyesight. All the post match discussion will be about Arsenal’s [...]

As the full-time whistle blew on Saturday afternoon, and Wojciech Szczesny started chest bumping his fellow players, a rare sense of pride washed over me. There was a fair amount of relief too, but I was proud of the passion and will to win shown by an Arsenal team whose commitment and desire has often [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

In terms of news that matters, there was only one story yesterday and that was the one about five young Arsenal players signing up to long term deals and showing their faith in the club. Of course, two of the players had signed their deals last month (Jenks and Ox) but by way of a [...]

Ok, so… this is going to be ugly. But I don’t see how it could be any other way really. Not after last night. The last time we spoke was to pick over the bones over a comprehensive defeat at home to Swansea. Swansea are, lest we forget, a club who will soon welcome us [...]

After last night’s game, I lacked the enthusiasm to write a match report. There wasn’t much inspiration to be drawn from a match high on intensity but low on quality, and my Thursday dental appointment didn’t do anything to improve matters. However, there is nothing like insomnia and a tube journey across town to get [...]

I have to say, it’s quite tough trying to paint a different looking post-match picture on here after the team gives us the same black and white cut-price paint kit to work with every second game. It’s been drab, drab, drab, IRIDISCENTRAINBOWCOLORED5-2, and drab once again. Roller coaster analogies have been run down to the [...]

Written by Tom Wales. Signed from Cardiff in 2007, Aaron Ramsey, who many saw as a future replacement for Cesc Fabregas has impressed at times during his 77 appearances for Arsenal scoring 7 and creating 16 goals. After the sales of Samir Nasri and Cesc Fabregas combined with the long term injury of Jack Wilshere; [...]

Having been to watch Killing Them Softly with Jo, Jen and Chris yesterday lunchtime, we arrived in The Lost Hour in Greenwich in the 6th minute of 5 minutes of the injury time scheduled at Anfield. The pub, needless to say, was rather busy. One of the first things I saw was Judas embracing Patrice [...]

What a difference a week makes, eh? This time last week, it was all megalolz at Tottenham and then we had the FA Cup semi finals. Which were decidedly unmegalolz. Particularly if you were an Everton fan (which in that semi final, was everyone except Liverpool fans), a Tottenham fan or Martin Atkinson. This was [...]

The question you should be asking yourselves at the top of this blog, dear readers, is just what you have done to deserve two blogs in two days from me? The short answer is nothing. I just thought it would be nice to take advantage of a quiet work day and have a look at some [...]

As far as starts to difficult weeks go, that turned out to be half-decent, yeah? After eons of bumbling around in the wilderness every time our rivals slipped up, Arsenal finally took advantage of dropped points around them yesterday by squeezing past Sunderland with very little toothpaste in the tube to spare. Liverpool lost and [...]

Ooooh, I do love a good post mortem. I don’t really. However, after an autumn period that, following our dismal start to the season, hinted at better times ahead it’s becoming very difficult to see this winter as anything but one of discontent. The knives are out once more and, following yesterday’s defeat at Swansea, [...]

Why, top of the morning to you, and you, and you with the crooked nose as well. May a squadron of Twix bars find their way into your mouth by day’s end, and may time go by as smoothly as Thierry’s first touch. The day has gone by that smoothly in fact; exploding capacitors and [...]
