So the final weekend arrives and we’re no nearer to knowing whether we will be playing Champions League football next season. We all know the equation by now: a win means third and automatic qualification. Anything less and we are at the mercy of Spurs and Newcastle. Finish fourth and we rely on Bayern Munich […]
There are many reasons why Sunday’s victory over Manchester City was such a sweet one. Here’s eight: It ended City’s title hopes As the title of this article says, it has virtually blocked Manchester City, the club that has only risen to title-challenging potential off the back of it’s ridiculously disproportionate spending, from winning the […]
Hey, everyone. Andy here after an extremely long hiatus. Rather than blabber on about why the blog hasn’t been updated — work, work and more work for both Mark and I — I’ll get straight to the point. I’m back and I’m going to be blogging about the last seven games of this season which […]
This has been the strangest Arsenal season for as long as I can remember, for a number of reasons. First came all the changes in the off-season. Fabregas, Nasri, Eboue, Bendtner, Clichy, Denilson, Traore out (have I missed anyone?); Gervinho, Jenkinson, Arteta, Mertesacker, Santos, Benayoun, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Park in.

A lot of people, myself included, believed that with five signings made and good results achieved against Swansea and Dortmund, our boys had turned the corner after the mauling at Old Trafford. Well if they did, it seems they stumbled down the deepest, darkest, dirtiest dead-end alley one could possibly imagine. The defending in yesterday’s […]
Sunday the 28th of August, 2011. The day when the Arsenal Football Club, our club, were handed their heaviest defeat in Premier League history, conceding eight goals and slumping to 17th on the table. It was painful. It was embarrassing. It was surreal. A six-goal loss to a team we aim to compete with each […]
The following is a guest post from Mark Thompson, a London-born Berlin-based Gooner who is filling in for me while I take some time off in Sweden. Two games in to this 2011 Premier League campaign and a quick number crunch reads one draw, one loss, no goals scored and two conceded; Gooners haven’t seen […]
