Our victory over Wolves was arguably the most straightforward game this season. It’s rare that a game of football is over after 11 minutes, but that was exactly the case after two goals and red card to Sebastien Bassong ended the contest. Robin van Persie’s penalty kick was impudent and arrogant — something deep down […]
If last week’s 4-4 draw with Newcastle was the hyperactive, uncontrollable coffee-fueled spectacle from hell, this one had calming chamomile tea written all over it. We’ve beaten Premiership teams by greater margins this season but I don’t think we’ve been so completely in control of a game as we were against Wolves yesterday. With the […]
Barcelona might be just around the corner (and if you’re willing to spend a few quid, you can still get tickets to that game via TixDaq) but before then we have a vital game against the conquerors of Manchester United, Wolves. Three points at home against a team sitting on the bottom of the table […]
I have a confession to make: I didn’t get to watch last night’s victory over Wolves. When I arrived at The Oscar in Berlin I was greeted by the infuriating news that they did not have Sky Sports HD and that all the televisions would be playing the Manchester derby. Throw in a 45-minute bike […]

For that I apologise, but for me it […]
As Theo Walcott’s mis-kick dribbled wide of the goal and television pictures scanned to the Arsenal bench to reveal Arsene Wenger’s looks of utter hopelessness and frustration I thought our Premier League dream was over. I thought for all our scrapping, for all of our determination to fight back and snatch points with several goals […]
Arsenal 1 (Bendtner 90+4) Wolves 0 Manuel Almunia – Didn’t have the chance to excel today as he was pretty much a bystander for the entire encounter. Made the odd simple save but that was about it. Can’t really get a high rating today because he did very little, but that’s not really his fault. […]
What an incredible moment! Never say die! Thoughts? Have your say on Arsenal v Wolves by leaving a comment.
Note: Regular readers will know I usually post match reports on a Monday. However with Chelsea and Manchester United playing tonight I thought I would include a match report of that game from an Arsenal perspective in tomorrow’s post. Stay tuned. Arsenal 4 (Zubar og 28, Craddock og 35, Fabregas 45, Arshavin 65) Wolves 1 […]
