Clear Out Begins, Is the Premier League the best Football League in the World??
The English Premier League has been hailed as the best league in the world, the league that every player wants to play in. The Media tells us this at every given opportunity, managers say it and players also have been heard to boast about it. Well I for one can’t see it. Every time the [...]

We’ll be back
As it was the final home game of the season there were microphones and cameras-a-plenty which means we’ve got a considerable amount of material from the players today. You can call it damage limitation or PR, I guess, but I don’t know what else you could expect at the moment. In the programme Cesc thanked [...]

‘He was Brilliant, it’s like having an Assistant Manager on the pitch’…..
I know the takeover at our club is the main topic of conversation so I’ll keep today’s post short and sweet. Over the last few months we have heard all sorts of rumours about Pat Rice – some suggest he is going to retire this summer, others suggest otherwise but until Rice himself confirms he [...]
Manchester City 0 – 3 Arsenal: Eastlands Turns Red
It’s hard to tell how much the early sending off affected yesterday’s game. I’m tempted to say not that much. At least it didn’t change the pattern of the game; City were always going to sit back, invite us on to them and spring quick counter attacks. That’s not an indictment of their ambition, it’s [...]
I’m Back / Jack The Lad / Man City Preview
Oh dear, oh dear. It’s been a little while, huh? I won’t offer you excuses. There’s been no big deadlines, no moving house or getting married. My dog didn’t even die. I have just been being lazy. Sorry. Catch-Up A lot of water has passed under a lot of bridges since my last post, we’ve [...]
Arsenal 2 – 3 West Brom: What a Waste
After Chelsea failed against their northern cousins in the early game yesterday we had an outstanding opportunity to close the gap at the top of the table down to one point before we play them next weekend. That we were unable to do so at home against a fairly average West Brom team smacked of [...]
The Shape of Things to Come / West Brom Preview
Afternoon Arsenalistas. So sadly we come to the end of a thoroughly enjoyble week in the Carling Cup, which, it’s worth recapping, saw us humiliate the Totts at their place, and brought about defeats for Chelsea, Man City and most embarrassing of all, Liverpool at home to Northampton Town. The other big teams found it [...]
Totts 1 – 4 Arsenal (Or 0 – 2, as it should have been)
The Team Sheet Fabianksi Eboue – Djourou – Koscielny – Gibbs Wilshere – Denilson – Rosicky Lansbury – Vela – Nasri Interesting lineup, clearly a departure from our Carling Cup policy of past years with Nasri, Rosicky, Denilson, and Eboue bringing a lot of experience between them. The only real non-first teamer in the starting [...]
Weekend Fallout / Totts Preview
As is customary following a disappointing result, I’ve withdrawn slightly from all things Arsenal (all things football, in fact) for a couple of days now. I don’t cope well with adversity, and after Saturday the first sign that maybe not much has really changed since last season, I’ve been working hard on repressing the memory. [...]
Sunderland 1 – 1 Arsenal: All Is Not Lost
The Team Sheet Almunia Sagna – Squillaci – Koscielny – Clichy Cesc – Song – Wilshere Nasri – Chamakh – Arshavin Against all odds we lined up at kick off with the same 11 who started against Braga on Wednesday. Whether it was fatigue, the notorious European hangover, or the stifling tactics of Sunderland, it [...]
Sunderland Preview: Feet Back on Ground
Us The bad news is that Thomas Vermaelen has still yet to recover from the very minor ankle knack he sustained on international duty. His absence, now running to three matches, means that Squillaci and Koscielny will continue their fledgling partnership. They have done well together so far, Squillaci has slotted in to the first [...]
Arsenal 6 – 0 Braga: Can We Get Carried Away Yet?
This will only be a brief (and late) match report, I’m afraid, thanks to time restraints and pesky work commitments. Gah, being a grown up sucks kids, make the most of it now. Anyway, onto things Arsenal. Braga pitched up at the Emirates yesterday evening as an unknown quantity. Reports of the quick counter attacking [...]
Braga Preview: Injuries & Opportunities
It’s a funny weekend in the Premier League when Man United, Man City, Liverpool, Villa and the Totts all drop points. In fact only two of last season’s top ten clubs recorded wins this weekend as us and Chelsea continued to build on very good starts. So poor have some of our apparent “rivals” been [...]
