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 [...]

  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 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 [...]

My overall feeling after last night’s game was far from positive. Those who know my work from various Arsenal blogs down the years will know I rather lost patience with Arsene Wenger’s approach to this team a few years ago now. However, there’s no point in repeating oneself and the fact is, whether we like [...]

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 [...]

Recent quotes from Arsene Wenger suggest that in the summer he faced a decision over whether to sign one of two strikers – Demba Ba, who has just sealed a move from Newcastle to Chelsea, or Olivier Giroud, whom Wenger did sign for Arsenal. It’s always possible that perhaps he has been taken slightly out [...]

2012′s been a funny old year, hasn’t it? Arsène Wenger appeared close to the edge in February and then Spurs rocked up to the Emirates, their fans full of exhortations for us to “Mind the Gap”. 90 minutes and 7 goals later, they crawled back to their holes, tails between their legs having been dealt [...]

This statistical comparison will look at the 2012/13 EPL form of both Olivier Giroud and Edin Dzeko. These players were chosen as they both play for top 4 clubs in the league and are both known for being ‘big, strong players who are good in the air’. Whilst, Giroud has played many more minutes this [...]

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 [...]

Watching the Arsenal first team recently hasn’t been pretty. It’s plain to see that despite some early optimism, we aren’t title contenders. It’s also disheartening to see that despite the quality in our side, we’re losing to teams like Norwich and struggling to beat QPR. The match against Manchester United on Saturday further highlighted the [...]

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. [...]

Famous last words. Words uttered as I headed into the kitchen to scrape the remains of my Papa Johns pizza into the bin. The very same bin that, at about 8.30 last night, Arsenal’s Capital One Cup ambitions had apparently been consigned to. I then went upstairs with Jo and continued to reacquaint myself with [...]

Well, it’s Monday and only two days until Arsenal play again. This weekend, after the debacle at Carrow Road, saw the internet almost completely devoid of Arsenal fans and those who were about decided that it was best if we all just collectively agreed that Arsenal hadn’t played at all at the weekend.  It was [...]

As Alex Song gets ready to be unveiled as the latest Barcelona player to have learned his trade at Arsenal, it is interesting to note the mass of stories which appeared today saying that the player’s attitude took something of a nosedive in recent months and that Arsene, having stood behind the player and nurtured [...]

Well we had some movement on the biggest story of the summer but contained in that movement wasn’t much we didn’t already know.  United, City and Juve all bid for van Persie and Wenger said thanks but no thanks, we’d kinda like to keep in the ungrateful ingrate, then the squad hopped on a plane [...]
