Arsenal ended 2009 with a 4-1 win over Portsmouth and in a superb position to challenge for the Premier League title in 2010. Our boys are in third place on the table, just four points behind table-toppers Chelsea with a game in hand – a position almost every Arsenal supporter would have taken before the […]

Alex Song’s late goal against Portsmouth is up there as one of my favourite moments of the season so far. Watch it again below (LINK): I think it’s fitting that our most improved, consistent and reliable performer’s first goal of the season also happened to be our last of 2009. Bravo, Song. Bravo. Have your […]
It’s bottom-of-the-table Portsmouth in the league tonight in another important game. With Chelsea winning last night to end their little blip it’s vital that we bring three points back from Fratton Park to keep up our chase at the top. Cesc Fabregas will of course be absent after tweaking his hamstring against Aston Villa, although […]
Hello again from a disgustingly hot Brisbane. 33 degrees it was today and for late August, the tail-end of our winter season, that is just ridiculous. Being Tuesday it is of course Arsenal FC Weekly podcast time and I’m joined in the studio by birthday boy Panda Bear. We ponder why despite scoring 12 goals […]
Arsenal 4 (Diaby 18, Diaby 22, Gallas 51, Ramsey 69) Portsmouth 1 (Kaboul 69) Video Highlights | Wenger Interview Match Review The Arsenal boys made it two from two in the Premier League with an extremely comfortable 4-1 win over out-of-sorts Portsmouth in the first home game of the new season.

Arsenal returned to the top of the Premiership table (yay!) with a comfortable 4-1 win over Portsmouth. Abou Diaby scored twice in the first half before Younis Kaboul pulled one back before the break. William Gallas extended the league with a comedy goal (see here, heh) and Aaron Ramsey scored his first Premiership goal to […]
Some final pre-Arsenal v Portsmouth thoughts: I’d like to see us rotate today. Cesc Fabregas, Bacary Sagna and Denilson have all had niggles while Robin van Persie looks a little flat and I wouldn’t mind seeing two or three of them given a break. If Eduardo is fit I’d like to see him start. One […]
I have a Portsmouth preview for you this fine Friday before I escape for the afternoon to enjoy some wines and the sweet sounds of the Arctic Monkeys latest album. It should be fookin’ bliss (sorry Mum). There’s not much change in the way of injuries with only Eduardo returning. I actually had no idea […]
I’m not going to say too much about Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Portsmouth on the weekend for the simple reason that I didn’t get to see it. I came home after a friend’s birthday party to find the score at 2-0 at half-time and struggled to stay awake for the rest of the game. The […]
Hello and welcome to my first (proper) post of 2009. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year and are geared up for the challenges that lie ahead this year. As I write to you today I’m sitting on my new work chair at my new work desk that I got from Ikea, working […]
