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 [...]

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 [...]

Bleh. After my vaguely optimistic preview the natural order of things returned. Good strikers always score against their old clubs, Arsenal can only beat Man U if all the best players are fit and firing, and Ferguson always manages to get his selection of players and officials spot on against us. I’m not particularly keen [...]

They say in football, as in life, that you make your own luck but I’m not quite sure that holds true with what Arsenal have experienced over the weekend.  From the despair which surrounded every single Arsenal supporter to the pure and unadulterated relief which came with watching Sp*rs throw away the chance to take [...]

It was 90 minutes which was to define our season instead, what we got was a microcosm of the entire season, flying start, unforgiveable complacency, terrible defending, flashes of brilliance, RvP pulling us up by the bootstraps, and naivety of the highest order.  The first 45 minutes was among the worst I’ve seen this season, [...]

There is, as has come to be the fashion, very little by way of Arsenal news since our draw at the weekend.  Sp*rs and Chelsea both picking up wins yesterday means that it is now imperative that we win both our remaining games, do that and we simply can’t be caught.  While we can hope [...]

I’d asked in yesterday’s blog if we could quite possibly have a professional, comfortable win against Villa to give our blood pressure a rest. I’d went online and bet on a 3-0 win with Theo scoring. Perhaps I should have asked for a few other things while I was at it. It was a rare [...]

No time for talking about Barcelona (though I bet I can’t get through the rest of this blog without mentioning them again) just yet, we have the small matter of the Premier League to deal with this weekend. So, news ahead of tomorrow’s match against Sunderland is that Kos is back in the squad (no [...]

So, the madness that is the transfer window has finished for another season, but the ramifications of this one may be felt for some time to come. Firstly, the fact that Torres joins a Chelsea side who still have to play Man United twice could go a long way in helping us win the league. [...]

Finals are a beautiful thing. I can say this now we’ve reached one for the first time since, what is it, one hundred years? What’s that you say? We last reached a final in 2007? Oh, ok then, Arsenal, being Arsenal, made sure that we were all nice and nervous by the time they finally [...]

Well, how did that go for you? Has the whole world and everything in it been put right with the turn of the new year? Thought not. Anyways, no time for resolutions or hangovers, we have a very tricky game away at Birmingham to concern ourselves with today so that’s what we should do. Birmingham [...]

Night’s like last night have been few and very far between for Arsenal and us Gooners in recent years. Pre-match there were nerves, but a sense of fatalism about a lot of people as well. Personally, I wasn’t nervous which was weird. I was of the mind-set that ‘what would be would be’ and had [...]

Well there really only is one story today – Barcelona in the Champions League and while you could quite easily say ‘it could only be them’ it was simply the ‘luck’ of the draw – no conspiracy theories here. So some people are terrified, some people are gagging for it, and some people are just [...]

So here it is folks, back for the season, and as that’s a long ‘aul haul I shall be breaking it up in to two competitions. We will have a mid-season ‘winner’ – so whoever is top of the league on December 31st will win a Tshirt. The league will continue on from then, so [...]

Well, it seemed like it took an eternity to arrive, but here we are, close to kick-off with nerves-a-jangling. Or are they? It has been a long time since I last saw so many Gooners so confident before a match at Old Trafford. Sure there is the odd person panicking, fearing a defensive collapse, something [...]

Two blogs in one day? Guess I’m trying to make up for some of the days I’ve missed lately due to family commitments. There’ll be a third up later so check back for that. I’m not quite sure how much truth there is in the rumour that Almunia will be allowed to leave in January [...]
