It is exceptionally difficult what to make of this Arsenal team at the moment. Prior to kick-off at West Brom I spoke of my rising doubts as to whether we would be able to banish our apparent psychological demons, take the final step and win the league this season. Ninety minutes, an awful defensive performance […]
The last few weeks have been difficult for Arsenal. First the Carling Cup was thrown away in extraordinary circumstances. Then a terrible refereeing decision at the Nou Camp ended hopes of pulling off a Champions League upset against the best team in the world. Finally, Manchester United, our major title rivals, put out a severely-understrength […]
When Jermaine Pennant lined up his last-minute free-kick last night I was extremely worried. The result seemed to hinge on the result of this moment, our good defending and another league sheet counting for nothing if the ex-Arsenal ex-con slipped his shot into the back of the net. At that moment our early domination seemed […]
The talking point going into tonight’s game with Stoke are injuries to Robin “157 goals in 5 games” van Persie and Laurent “I win every tackle I attempt” Koscielny. Their exclusion leaves Arsene Wenger with a couple of interesting changes to make. Sebastien Squillaci will undoubtedly continue alongside the returning Johan Djourou, while one of […]

We’ve beaten Premiership teams by greater margins this season but I don’t think we’ve been so completely in control of a game as we were against Wolves yesterday. With the […]
Barcelona might be just around the corner (and if you’re willing to spend a few quid, you can still get tickets to that game via TixDaq) but before then we have a vital game against the conquerors of Manchester United, Wolves. Three points at home against a team sitting on the bottom of the table […]
Arsenal became the first side to throw away a four-goal lead in the history of the Premier League as Newcastle fought back to draw 4-4 at St. James’s Park. A delayed journey back from the Olympiastadion for Berlin Derby Day meant I missed the opening half-hour of this game, but upon arriving at the Oscar […]
