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 [...]

As the season gets ready for its climax and Champions League football is not yet secured, it might seem like an odd time to start wondering about the player of the season but, well, I’m tired and this was the first topic which came to mind. Would you hand it to new boy Santi Cazorla [...]

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 [...]

Earlier this season we played out two, pretty turgid, draws against Stoke and Sunderland and it seemed to herald in the start of the Steve Bould and Arsene Wenger partnership, with defensive stability coming to the fore.  What was missed amongst all of the hype and glee was that we were simply playing two teams who were [...]

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.

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 [...]

As I sit here typing this I am being distracted by the sounds of the Twitterverse. Sounds that are suggesting there is a big, “feel good” announcement coming out of Arsenal at 3pm this afternoon; sounds that suggest that not only are Arsenal in for David Villa, but the Spaniard wants to come; sounds that [...]

On Saturday night, the latest series of Forbrydelsen came to a close. It was a series that has been, in turn, delightful, hilarious, scary and, at times, totally confusing. But enough about the adventures of Sarah Lund. Tonight, 6 days after the Bradford nightmare, the Gooner Nation will reconvene in Berkshire. And they will reconvene for the latest [...]

The game we played out (it wasn’t a match, not really) at Old Trafford last season has gone done as one of the most infamous episodes in Arsenal’s history. It was a match as memorable as our four visits there between 2001-04. Obviously it was memorable, from our perspective at least, for all the wrong reasons. [...]

Take a look at the picture above- ain’t that a sweet sight? If I had blogged after the Schalke disaster, I would likely have begun with something that would have sounded like a rationalisation, but would nonetheless have been true. I would have said something like this. That result was entirely to be expected when [...]

If you had just listened to the Match of the Day analysis, and not looked at any of their stats or even watched their own highlight reel, you’d have been left with the impression that QPR deserved a draw yesterday against Arsenal.

After two weeks of nothing, the “interlull” came to an abrupt end this weekend. Well, the resumption of Premier League hostilities felt like it came around very quickly to me. And, going by the “performance” our boys put in at Norwich on Saturday evening, the same can be said of them. I’m sure that, like [...]

It has finally arrived. Arsenal day. All across the Gooner nation people are awaking from their internationally-induced slumber with smiles on their faces as they think about watching the only team they actually care about. Of course, just to tease us a little bit more, we have to wait until 5.30pm GMT for our kick-off, [...]

The days after Tuesday night’s slightly backs to the wall, slightly lucky win against Montpellier have passed slowly. We’ve waited for this weekend’s visit to Eastlands with nothing but the sound of tumbleweed blowing across the training ground at London Colney…. Oh, alright then, it’s not been like that at all. This week, Arsenal fans got the [...]
