Hello there and a happy, happy Friday to all of you. If you’re anything like what I am today – still glowing as a result of Arsenal’s performance on Wednesday night – then you’ll surely be reading this post with a big smile on your face. Nice one. It’s essentially a three-part post today as […]

It is my personal opinion that the back five of Manuel Almunia, Bacary Sagna, Johan Djourou, William Gallas and Gael Clichy is the best that the current Arsenal squad possesses. That none of those five played against Villarreal and we still managed a 3-0 victory at home and subsequent qualification to the semi-finals of the […]
It’s the second leg of the Villarreal game tonight and what a contest it looks to be. It’s doubtful we’ll see anything quite like the 4-4 draw between Chelsea and Liverpool last night but there should certainly be some good attacking football on display. And even if there isn’t, I won’t really care if Arsene […]
Hello again and a happy Tuesday to you all. The Easter breather is over now and it’s time to look ahead to an exciting and intriguing week of football. Indeed, with the return leg against Villarreal on Thursday and a trip to Wembley to play Chelsea on Sunday, it wouldn’t be going too far to […]
A combination of Easter-related obligations and a difficult family situation means a very brief analysis of Arsenal’s 4-1 win away to Wigan. Here goes: (+) The jury is still out on Lukasz Fabianski. In my last post I asked if the Polish goalkeeper was ready to step up but the evidence from Saturday was fairly […]
It’s a rather tired post today – a result of two early mornings of sleepy Champions League viewing. * yawns * Thank goodness there were some good games though. Indeed, just when I thought Manchester United’s result was a surprise, up popped Chelsea to stick a dagger (well, three actually) into Liverpool at Anfield. Brilliant […]
Emmanuel Adebayor may not be everyone’s cup of tea but he produced a moment of real craft and quality to put us within touching distance of the Champions League semi-final. With just over 20 minutes to go and Arsenal trailing to Marcos Senna’s early thunderbolt, Adebayor cleverly controlled a chip pass by Cesc Fabregas on […]
It’s Villarreal in the Champions League tonight and there is a fair bit of excitement buzzing around my body in the build-up to this game. And while the tie can’t be decided tonight a good result in Spain will see us take a big step towards the semi-finals with the second leg to be play […]
There may have been a two-week International Break sandwiched between this game and the last, but Arsenal picked up where they left off at Newcastle to produce a performance of real class and quality to beat Manchester City 2-0 at The Emirates. Emmanuel Adebayor and Cesc Fabregas were back in the side after one and four-month […]
Hello there blogmates – welcome to another installment of the Arsenal FC Blog. It’s Tuesday afternoon and I’m sucking down a couple of Grolsch beers before my indoor game later tonight. Football and beer, a wicked combination. I’m sure you don’t need reminding that the International Break is up on us and that means inevitably […]
