It appeared Arsene Wenger had a clear plan in mind when he left Andrey Arshavin out of the squad that traveled to Braga midweek: to freshen up the enigmatic Russian and make him the key player in a bid to win at Villa Park. Arshavin was absolutely outstanding for 90 minutes against Aston Villa, troubling […]

My thoughts on Arsenal’s 0-0 draw with Aston Villa and the consequences it may have on our title charge… A draw was probably the right result. The general feeling was that Aston Villa posed more of a threat but the statistics show they only managed one shot on target. While Martin O’Neill will be kicking […]
Arsene Wenger on Thomas Vermaelen’s injury: “Thomas Vermaelen we don’t know, there will be an x-ray. He is on crutches and it is a fibula injury. We have to check tomorrow morning if it is just a nerve or a broken bone.” Lucky we’ve got Sol Campbell. Match report to follow later. Have your say […]

Hello again – good to write to you again on a spectacularly fine and sunny day in Brisbane. There are few things I get more pleasure from than sipping on wine and writing this blog and that’s exactly what I’m up to this afternoon. The big news overnight for Arsenal fans was that of Aston […]
Let’s start with the bad news. Arsenal’s 0-0 draw with Fulham was the fourth in a row for our boys, another missed opportunity for three points and another excruciatingly frustrating performance. Gone was the pace, movement and desire that was so evident in the game against Roma, replaced by a bizarre lack of urgency and […]
