Emirates Cup: Day One Round-up

Now if your’re looking for a post-match slagging off of our beloved team them you’ve come to the wrong place, firstly I’m not going to write my thoughts on the match till to tomorrow as I need to watch some replays first but also beca…

Fulham 2-2 Arsenal, or A-Qualifying We Will Go

I’m not entirely sure what good a match review will do for a game that illustrated many of Arsenal’s shortcomings throughout the season. In 90 minutes we saw many of the positives and negatives that have come to characterize this team, ending the season with as many highs as lows. As the full-time whistle blew [...]

Should Arsenal fans buy a Defending for Dummies book for Wenger and the players?

Premier League: Fulham 2 – 2 Arsenal Two wins in the last twelve league games certainly deserved us the fourth place on the Premier League table. We were slightly dominated by Fulham and could not find our passing rhythm (as usual) to win the game. Fabregas made a good choice by not showing up in this match. He opted to watch Spanish Grand Prix in his homeland than endured a painful afternoon at Craven Cottage. [...]

Wenger: “We can still win the title”…. yeah, right

Premier League: Tottenham 3 – 3 Arsenal Arsenal’s form has been so predictable lately. When they have two-goal lead, they still can throw it away and end up drawing or even losing the game. It was a must win game and we had a two-goal cushion until 43rd minute. In the end, we could only grab a point and lost our second place position on the table to Chelski. After the match, Wenger told Sky [...]

He comes from Africa, he costs more than Kaka, oh Eboue

Premier League: Arsenal 1 – 1 Liverpool Having someone like Eboue in Arsenal squad is so costly, isn’t it? The cost is more than just the money the Gunners has wasted on him, but more importantly, it is the chance to win a trophy and mental pain all the fans have to endure watching dimwit like him in our team. In fact, players like Eboue, plus Denilson, Diaby, Squillaci, and Koscielny are the players who [...]

Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool, or WTF Eboue?!?!

Today was the day I figured Arsenal would prove what they have to offer the Premier League; to either put up or shut up when it comes to their chances of winning the title this season. Sure, last week they walked all over Blackpool, but to be honest there wasn’t much opposition and it had [...]

Player Ratings: Arsenal 0 – 0 Blackburn

Well, our season is going from worse to oblivion. It seems a distant memory when we were in four competitions and now it is more than certain that we will end this season without a trophy. Has the Carling Cup final defeat really caused more damage tha…

Arsenal 0-0 Blackburn Rovers, or Uncharacteristic Arsenal

So I’m watching the Blackburn match on a Sunday morning, having missed the game on Saturday (oh the wonders of Arsenal TV Online!) and like everyone else, I’m trying to figure out what caused us to draw nil-nil at home against a side struggling against relegation. We know Blackburn is going to fight with everything [...]

The Gunners scored four past Blackburn…in my dream

Premier League: Arsenal 0 – 0 Blackburn It was a hat-trick by van Persie and a goal by Ramsey who won us the game against Rovers. Then, my alarm went off exactly 15 minutes before the real game on the telly. I was feeling positive after the dream but the mood was quickly shot down two hours later after Arsenal could only score zilch against Blackburn. To my upset, Wenger said he was concerned with [...]

The day Arsenal went out of the title race?

After a disappointing few weeks, I had hoped that a two week international break would have a calming influence on the squad. Morale was low and injuries were mounting. Surely a bit of a rest from club football could do nothing but good? Arsenal started the match at a quick tempo, and it wasn’t long [...]

Poor form continues, but at least we didn’t lose

Since a flat performance against Stoke in the league, Arsenal have won once in six games. The solitary victory came against league one opponents Leyton Orient. For a team challenging for the title, two draws in a row must be viewed as four points dropped. Arsenal now sit five points off the top, but with [...]

Why did Arsene Wenger hire clowns in defence?

Premier League: West Brom 2 – 2 Arsenal We can “certainly” say that the title race is over for Arsenal. Our trophy cabinet will only gather some dust again at the end of this season. As much as I hope what I just said will be wrong, I need to be realistic. Our defence at the moment is like a fishing net. Our best CBs are crocked and the stand-ins plus the goalkeeper are comedians. [...]

West Brom 2-2 Arsenal or Remember We Thought We Had Depth?

Today we went to the Hawthorns for our second meeting with West Bromwich Albion, hoping it would go better than their visit to our place back in the fall when we lost 3-2. We had good reason to hope: Arsenal have been eliminated from three major competitions in a space of less than three weeks, [...]

Poll: Who do you fancy in the CL quarterfinals?

The Champions League quarterfinal draw is on tap for tomorrow in Nyon. Who do we like then?

Balls.
A lot has been said about our potential opposition in the last eight.
Of course, the idea of Barcelona revisiting Stamford Bridge has been branded about with reckless abandon since our place in the draw was secured last night with [...]

Player Ratings: Leyton Orient 1 – 1 Arsenal

Well, that was very very disappointing from Arsenal after what we have seen in the past couple of weeks. I didn’t even want to write anything about the match as I felt that a team who is going for all trophies don’t show up to face opponents like t…

What If’s & If Only’s

I didn’t write a match preview for yesterday’s game because I didn’t want to jinx it. I started to write one on Sunday morning but realised I was talking about how this was not only our best chance in ages but on our home patch we could end United’s unbeaten run and do so quite [...]

Arsenal vs Leeds, match 1 of 2.

Arsenal had been knocked out of the FA Cup by March last year, which is when I started blogging, so this is my first FA Cup post ever! Applause, confetti, party hats, streamers, etc! Pity it was a draw then. Boo, hiss, veils, organ music, etc! Wenger said that of all the outcomes we could have [...]

Arsenal 1 – 1 Leeds report: Should we be dissapointed or relieved?!!

I am dissapointed because we would have easily won this if we had taken our chances and yet I am relieved that we are still in it. The way we started and had we been a little clinical in front of goal, this game would have been easily over in the f…

Arsenal vs Manchester Zzzzzzzzzz…ity.

Last night Arsenal were at their typical Arsenal best. We dominated posession and play and skills and crafty little one-twos, sneaky little backpasses and more than our fair share of “Ooooooh that was tasty!” moments. And of course we had next to no end product. We hit the post twice, hit the crossbar once and forced Joe [...]

Arsenal 0 – 0 Manchester City: Unlucky Gunners couldn’t pass £800million worth of bricks

If I were Citeh owner and fans, I would be hugely embarrassed by the fact that City’s expensively-assembled team were playing for a draw with 10-0 formation. I was half-asleep watching the game, especially in the second half as our opposition played so negatively. Jo and Milner should have been sent-off for time wasting and being such a pussy. Roberto Mancini claimed that they were playing to win the game in his interview with Skysports. [...]

Wenger on the team’s performance and his regret about the game

Despite dominating the whole game against City, it ended in a frustrating draw for Arsenal in terms of losing ground against United. Arsene Wenger, however, is taking encouragement from tonight’s game as Arsenal did play well despite the game ending …

£200 Million Worth of Hot Air

In two games against Arsenal this season Man City have proven that £200 million buys you a whole lot of hot air. It’s shocking when you hear the dollar values associated with that club (I believe one commentator today said Tevez is paid something li…

Randoms thoughts on: Arsenal 0 – 0 Man City

A disappointing result in terms of points but we played very well. First things first. We were the only team that went out there to get the maximum points and we were good for the full ninety minutes. We were pressing, passing, looking for openings, or…
