The Arsenal FC Blog has been nominated for ‘Best Team Site’ in the 2009 Soccerlens Awards. Vote for it by clicking here! This weekend’s game against Stoke feels a bit like a speed bump. We’ve just gone top of the league table, we’ve got Aston Villa, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool waiting for us just […]
Arsenal returned to winning ways at the weekend with a 2-0 win over Stoke although I did my best Arsene Wenger impression by not seeing the game. A late Friday night live-blogging the World Cup draw was followed by a fairly hectic house party at a friend’s on Saturday and meant that I was too […]

It clearly shows the way that the manner of Arsenal’s 4-4 draw with Tottenham has gotten to a lot of people and stirred their […]
