I was at the game midweek against Newcastle and went home wondering who, from our talented crop of youngsters, would make it at Arsenal. Add to the team [...]
Who will make it at Arsenal?
Not an easy victory – but all so satisfying!
Let me make a comparison first and foremost:Sunday 5th November 2006 – West Ham 1-0 ArsenalSaturday 29th September 2007 – West Ham 0-1 Arsenal
On the face of it the only difference seems to be that the scores were reversed. However it was far more than that. Last season we dominated the game away at Upton [...]
The Future’s Bright – the Future’s Red and White!
Newcastle at home was arguably the hardest tie for anyone in the Carling Cup 3rd round. Newcastle wanted to have a run in this cup and Wenger was sure to play the reserves. This was clear as only Senderos, Walcott and Eduardo started from Saturday. The bench included 4 players who had not appeared for [...]
5 Star performance from Arsenal as Adebayor gets his first hat trick for the Gunners
When I glanced at my programme this afternoon and saw the headline read “Cesc’s Six Appeal”. This related to his “six goals and six assists” in 8 games, rather than being a sly pun on the handsomeness some people see in out little Spaniard. I was shocked to see this, even though I knew it [...]
Arsenal vs Sevilla – Cesc brilliant again
What similarity was there between today and Saturday? One main one, once again Cesc Fabregas scored one (he claimed it and i’m happy to call it his 5th goal in as many games) and made 2. His goal tonight was also from long range, this time however there was a massive slice of luck involved. [...]
Wastefulness & sloppy Defending vs Gritty performance with great goals
First thing’s first – an Arsenal player scored the goal of the season at White Hart Lane yesterday. No, not Cesc’s 30 yard piledriver, but Adebayor’s moment of absolute genius. The touch to shift the ball from right to left and the volley executed in the same motion were a true master class in wonderful [...]
Typical Match Day Experience – Could be a whole lot better!
Let me describe to you my typical match day experience: I arrive at either Arsenal or Highbury and Islington tube and walk down to the Emirates Stadium. As I arrive I pick up my programme and enter the stadium where I meet my mates. We find our seats normally 30 minutes before kick off and [...]
Arsenal vs Tottenham (away) Preview
3 days to go and I already have the fever inside me, only present when a North London Derby is around the corner. This is our first proper big game of the season so far. Manchester City were top of the table when we played them but – no disrespect to them – they are [...]
Reality Check – 3 years time
Ok so Arsene Wenger has signed a three year contract. This article is not about the positives of this, we already know them; we keep the most successful manager of our team, the man who has transformed us from “Boring Boring Arsenal” into the best footballing side in England and the man who has unearthed [...]
Solid defending, midfield goals – a very much changed Arsenal (Portsmouth Reaction)
3-1, down to ten men for 40 minutes, flared tempers and some exhilarating football made today’s match against Pompey one of the games of the season so far. The game was made an open one once Adebayor converted a penalty. The hunger of Van Persie to chase down the ball showed the new found determination [...]
