Could win sunday spur city onto title

Sunday is going to be one of the single days that as City fans we look back to at the end of the season. We host Tottenham Hotspur who are probably the only side left in the title race other than us and United and so a win for us would put an eight poi…

Arsenal’s Chairman states the club’s ambition and a tale of Theo Walcott

The Swansea defeat was reminiscent of the terrible sandstorm that appeared in a scene in Mission Impossible 4 where Tom Cruise chased the villain but it ended after Cobalt had escaped on a truck. Out of the blue, the sandstorm appeared from nowhere and…

A Chat With The Opposition: Arsenal

In light of Manchester United’s trip to the Emirates to face Arsenal this Sunday, I thought it’d be good to chat to Arsenal fan Emmet McEvoy @emmetmcevoy, getting his take on Arsenal’s season so far ahead of the match at the weekend.

Happy to be Written Off

So that’s the title challenge put to bed for another year- I must say it was terrific fun while it lasted. Barely had I got the blue and white bunting down from the loft after our win against Everton, was I then tossing it into the fire with all my tax returns again on Saturday [...]

Signing(s) Is Not The Complete Solution

The fallout from the defeat to Swansea has been dire and depressing. The “Wenger OUT!!” brigade has come out in …Continue reading »

Cash Is King As Calf Becomes The New Hamstring

There’s a big match this match weekend and being Arsenal, there’s a minor injury crisis erupting across the back pages. The truth of the matter is yet to be revealed but Mikel Arteta and Thomas Vermaelen have been joined on the sidelines by…

Forget The Bolton Result, Bigger Challenges Lie Ahead!

So mid-January and Manchester United go joint top with a team who have now only won 1 in 5,  and so the Red Army march on to the title while those around them fade into another summer of crazy spending, allowing Rooney to have a few cigarettes, b…

Sittin pretty City thanks to headin’ Dzeko

Manchester City travelled to the DW Stadium with all eyes on the Premiership leaders. After two back to back home cup defeats and a less than impressive league form before that meant that Manchester City were in a mini crisis. Seriously? I can deal wit…

Give The Ox his chance over Theo

Arsene Wenger needs to start punishing poor performances. Theo’s performance against Swansea showed what you get from a player when they have no competition and know they’re a guaranteed starter. [...]

Referee Short Changed Us Again Despite Well Deserved Win, Three Points Clear Of Cheating Rooney

<!– Article Start –>Our players went out and played like warriors against Wigan and gained a well deserved three points, clear and a nine goal difference between us and United, just in time for the up coming game against the Spuds who sit third five points behind us.

I’d say Spurs have been impressive but lets face facts here, Chelsea and Arsenal are having a horrid season compared to the

The World of Arsenal in the Wake of the Swansea Aftermath

When the 2011/12 campaign kicked off with the stalemate against Newcastle, I had a quick view of the 20 teams in the Premier League and judging by the state of the Arsene Wenger’s squad in August, I ruled out any chance of Arsenal winning the Pre…

If You Know Your History…

A guest post today on the AISA New Year reception. Just a reminder that another dose of the daily history of Arsenal can be found at Arsenal On This Day. A couple of weeks back I was lucky enough to receive an invitation to AISAs New Year reception to …

Reds return to winning ways; Manchester United 3 Bolton Wanderers 0

Following last weekends FA cup frivolities, United returned to league action with a clash against Lancashire rivals Bolton Wanderers. Having suffered two consecutive defeats in the league, and now lagging 3 points behind leaders City, United knew that victory was essential in order to maintain their title bid. Having returned to action in dramatic circumstances [...]

The United way is always the hard way

As a United fan, an injury crisis is expected, as it isn’t a United season, without something not going to plan… The ‘United Way’, has always been to call on our youth squad before going anywhere else, when we are having trouble with our starting eleven. This dates right back to Jimmy Murphy famously doing…

Wigan 0-1 Man City

We took our chance to go 3 points clear of Utd and 5 points clear of Spurs. The performance was lacking in quality and swagger but these 3 points are just the same as the 3 when we scored 6 at Old Trafford. It gives us breathing space ahead of the game…

PL 21. Hafta: Chelsea 1 – 0 Sunderland

2012′ye iyi başladık, iyi gidiyoruz… Wolves ve Portsmouth’un ardından ligin zorlu ekiplerinden Sunderland karşısında da galibiyeti Lampard’ın tek golüyle aldık. Aslında golü Torres’e yazmak daha adilane olurdu çünkü Torres’in direkten d…

Irwin: You can’t buy experience

Former Manchester United and Republic of Ireland defender Denis Irwin is hopeful that the Reds’ experience will play a key part this season in winning them the Barclays Premier League title for a record 20th time. Irwin, who currently works with MUTV, thinks City have been the best side this season despite believing Ferguson’s men…

5 Things We Learned: Manchester United 3 Bolton Wanderers 0

By Thomas Doyle. 1. The legs may go but the class doesn’t As Thierry Henry displayed so thrillingly in the FA Cup against Leeds United last week, while the pace and strength of a top class player may go, he always retains the brains. And so anoth…

View From The North Bank: Swansea 3 Arsenal 2

  Monday night’s moment of pure joy didnt last long then. Defensive frailties cost Arsenal yet again away from home as Swansea beat us at our own game. Again, the players let Arsene Wenger down at a time where he needs more than just Robin V…

Swansea v Arsenal Highlights – Premier League

Arsenal started the game with a bang as top-scorer Robin Van Persie put the Gunners ahead after just ten minutes, but after that it all started going wrong for Arsenal and they were dominated by the newly promoted Swansea side. Arsenal have now dropped…

Swansea 3 Arsenal 2: The Gunners play like sure-fire Europa League contenders

The relationship between Arsenal and its ever-loving and faithful fans can never be likened to a relationship between two young adults that can split up when one finds out about the partner’s infidelity. It’s more or less like a “wedd…

Chelsea 1-0 Sunderland – Another important three points.

I said on here that I would take a win before the game no matter how well or bad we played in this one and as I sat on the tube going home I was relieved. Chelsea at times played well but again found ourselves exposed by in form Sunderland and if the l…
