As the game entered stoppage time with the scoreline at Arsenal 1, Hull City 1, I had a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. A feeling that for all our good work this season, for all of our fighting and scrapping and regularly brilliant football, it would all come crashing down in the […]
Hull City 1 (Bullard pen 28) Arsenal 2 (Arshavin 14, Bendtner 90+3) Manuel Almunia – Solid between the sticks today and has shown a marked increase in confidence in recent weeks. Was not put to the test very often but did everything he needed to, and in all honesty didn’t deserve to concede. Dealt with […]
Forget about winning the Champions League. Forget about winning the Premier League. All that matters right now is that we go to Hull City tomorrow night and pick up three points. There’s been a bit of bad blood in this fixture over the past couple of years and with us fighting for the league and […]
If someone had offered you a 3-0 win for Arsenal over Hull you would have bitten his hand off. If someone had offered you a 3-0 win for Arsenal over Hull with Denilson scoring a peach of a free-kick, Eduardo getting a much-needed goal, Abou Diaby starring as Man of the Match and getting an […]
It’s a ridiculously short Arsenal vs Hull preview today because I’m off on a road-trip to the New South Wales hinterland to enjoy a weekend of (near) isolation.

I said yesterday that the lack of Arsenal news floating around meant I was having another day off today. But fortunately – or unfortunately, depending on […]
Update: After reading this brilliant post by Arseblogger making a mockery of the claims made by Phil Brown and the article entitled “I’d rather Cesc had knocked Brian out” by Tim Sherwood, I’ve decided to reneg on my opinion to refrain from commenting on the spitting furore. Instead I’d like to say this: I do […]
Hello again and a very happy St Patrick’s Day to you all – particularly Mr Arseblogger – who flies the green and red flag for all of those Irish Arsenal supporters out there. It’s Hull City tonight in the FA Cup and should things go well then there’s sure to happy, drunk Arsenal supporters roaming […]
Arsenal’s seven-game unbeaten streak extended to eight over the weekend as two late goals from Samir Nasri and Nicklas Bendtner ensured a 3-1 win away to Hull City. Emmanuel Adebayor’s first-half header was cancelled out by another header by Daniel Cousin on 65 minutes before Nasri and Bendtner produced late efforts to win the match. Arsene Wenger […]
