Had substitute Olivier Giroud tucked away the late chance gifted to him by a wonderful piece of creative play by fellow new signing Santi Cazorla, today’s headline would be oh so different. As it was the opening game of the season against Sunderland turned out to be an anti-climax that will have many Arsenal fans feeling […]
Where would we be without Robin van Persie this season, eh? The captain was the dominant force against Sunderland, combining class and a devastating ability to find the back of the net to score both goals in a 2-1 win. It begs the question: is there a better player in the Premier League at the […]

AFCB’s tactics guru Andrew Enloe gives us his analysis of Arsenal’s draw at Sunderland… Saturday’s match against Sunderland was a hugely frustrating affair.

The Arsenal boys have an opportunity to get over their ill-faited trip to Portugal with the visit of Sunderland to The Emirates. Alex Song and Manuel Almunia are available again, while Abou Diaby is disappointingly omitted having sustained a medial knee ligament injury against Porto. He joins William Gallas, Andrey Arshavin and Eduardo and the […]
Arsenal succumbed to a disappointing 1-0 loss to Sunderland on a rainy Saturday at the Stadium of Light. Strong performances by Alex Song, Cesc Fabregas and William Gallas were overshadowed by the lacklustre efforts of Tomas Rosicky, Samir Nasri, Eduardo and Aaron Ramsey as the effects of the international break well and truly took their […]

The International Break finished up on Wednesday night and since then the boys have been returning home from various parts of the world to prepare for tomorrow afternoon’s tricky tie away to Sunderland. Sitting […]
