Sometimes there are no words to explain the emotions a football fan goes through when watching an absolute classic game like last nights.
The elation I felt when I saw Arshavin’s beautifully curled shot hit the back of the net I can actually not describe other to say I felt the pain of last years games [...]

Player Ratings: Arsenal 2 – 1 Barcelona
The joy of wining last night was out of this world; it was an amazing feeling as we did what most have failed to do, beating Barcelona at their game. The belief, determination, spirit, effort and brilliant team work were the key to this result. We neve…
Arsenal, your fans need you, let’s see what you’ve got! COYR!
Wenger said: ‘We are in an ideal condition to face them. We cannot complain, we have the belief, the confidence, the players available. That was not the case last year. We are in an ideal position to face them’ Arsene, I couldn’t agree more, no excuses, why should we ever be in a position where [...]
Match preview: Arsenal v Barcelona, the sequel
No sooner had we sunk Wolves on Saturday, my mind turned to this game. I have been thinking of nothing else since, except of course on Valentine’s day, when my mind briefly wandered. (Fulham should have won). I said before the draw that I wanted Barca. The colony of butterflies inhabiting my gut and the [...]

The Champions league resumes with the knockout stage that sees us pitted against the best team in the world according to popular and widespread beliefs, Barcelona. But are they really that mighty? On paper and in La Liga they are, but we all know the c…
Preview: Arsenal vs. Barcelona
The nervous feeling has started to creep in now. Tomorrow is a big day for Arsenal as we take on Barcelona at the Emirates. There’s been little talk of this match until the last 48 hours or so I think due to the fact that gooners know their favourite club is squaring off against, perhaps, [...]
Wenger – Van Persie will make the difference
Arsene Wenger believes that the Gunners have their own secret weapon to rival Barcelona’s Lionel Messi in the Dutch striker Robin Van Persie. The Arsenal striker has been scoring for fun lately, and capped it with both goals in this weekends win …
The King returns | Arsenal defender ok, I think | Starlet will definitely leave
So, I don’t have it confirmed yet, but according to Arsenal.com, Tommy V is still pencilled in for a January return. There seems to be a groundswell of people who are desperate to tell us that he’s out for the season at every opportunity. I haven’t heard anything to suggest he’s out and I’ve been [...]
Fabianski dropped / Benchmarking against the best / Justice time!
I’m definitley not one for a conspiracy theories… Global warming is fact, there was no nonsense with those twin towers, the Americans definitely landed on the moon first and Fabianski certainly has a groin injury that may keep him out of the game with Stoke tomorrow… Or does he? Now, despite all the things Wenger [...]
Who Should Arsenal Face: Barcelona or Real Madrid?
So the much anticipated Champions League draw is tomorrow afternoon (in my time zone anyways). The four teams that we can draw are Schalke, Bayern Munich, Barcelona or Real Madrid. Does anyone have a feeling like me that it’s most likely going to be one of the Spanish giants? Our Champions League campaign started on 
Shock! Barcelona player admits Fabregas plays for Arsenal!
As just about the whole Barcelona team has said at least once (if not three times!) that the Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas should be at the Camp Nou next season, it has come as a shock to me that ONE of them has admitted that Cesc plays for Arsenal, and there is “nothing to be [...]
Lionel Messi – Walcott Would Scare Any Defence in the World!
The Arsenal winger Theo Walcott could not have got a higher praise than he got today from the world’s best player, Lionel Messi. The Argentina striker reckons that Fabio Capello was crazy not to take Walcott to South Africa, and thinks that he could have made a real difference in the group stages, and he [...]
Argentina v S.Korea extended World Cup highlights – Majestic Messi
Argentina were disappointing in the World Cup Qualifiers, but with the amount of skill in the squad they can never be written off.
Even with Lionel Messi, Higuain and Tevez could only manage one goal in their opening game against Nigeria, and it took an own goal from Jung-Si Park to open the scoring today, but [...]
Argentina v Nigeria extended World Cup highlights
Diego Maradona’s Argentina team were very unconvincing in the qualifying matches, but with the talent at their disposal, can never be written off at a World Cup Tournament.
Nigeria are always considered to be one of the stronger African teams, and on their home continent were hoping to give a good account of themselves, but Argentina [...]
Messi fires blanks but Argentina beat Nigeria comfortably
Argentina fans were not let down as their team put up a superb performance in their opening game against Nigeria. The score line in the end only read 1-0, but that’s only because Nigeria’s goalkeeper Vincent Enyema had an outstanding match and kept the ball out of the net.
Players from both sides looked extremely [...]
Van Persie being backed to win Golden Boot
The Arsenal and Holland striker Robin Van Persie has just come back from a long lay-off through injury, but he was in brilliant form for the Gunners before he injured his ankle while playing for Holland.
He just got match fit again at the end of the season, and proved he was still in great form [...]
Van Persie – I want to score 30 goals next season and be as good as Messi!
The Arsenal striker Robin Van Persie spent most of last season injured after damaging his ankle while playing in a “friendly” with Holland, but that may work in his favour now as he is fresh and ready to prove how good a striker he really is on the world stage. And despite Wenger comparing him [...]

The World Player of the Year Lionel Messi believes that England have a very good chance of reaching the later stages of the World Cup, and believes that the Man Utd striker Wayne Rooney could be the key to their chances.
The Barcelona striker said: “England are always a tough team to play against because they [...]
Sevilla v Barcelona extended highlights – Messi is human!
Barcelona got the win they needed to stay ahead of Real Madrid in the race for La Liga, but the 3-2 scoreline hardly represents the gulf between the two sides.
Barca were 3-0 up after an hours play but could have easily had six or seven. Lionel Messi scored the first goal, but the rest of [...]
Messi – I will never forget Arsenal’s fairness and respect
The Barcelona genius Lionel Messi scored four goals to dump Arsenal out of the Champions League, but he says he was struck by the respect the Arsenal players showed him after the game.
He said: “One of the Arsenal players came up to me afterwards and said it had been an honour to be on the [...]
Barcelona v Inter Milan extended highlights – Inter hold out with ten men
The Inter Milan manager Jose Mourinho came to the Camp Nou to “do a job” on Lionel Messi and Barcelona. He knew that his team just needed to stop the European Champions from scoring two goals for him to reach his second European Champions League Final.
And he did it with style. He showed Arsenal that [...]
Arsenal transfer rumours 10th April – Neuer, David Villa, Caceres and Lionel Messi!
You can tell that Arsenal haven’t got a game this weekend because the only Arsenal “news” around is concentrated on the dodgy unsubstantiated transfer rumours.
I decided to put Messi in at the end as I thought he had said that he would love to play at Arsenal, but what he asctually said was that he [...]
