If you cast your minds back to a few years back and a match at Bramall Lane in the Fa Cup. We drew the game 0-0 after Extra Time but came through after a penalty shootout. Then cast your minds back to last season on a cold new years eve night and another visit to [...]

A draw at Anfield = not bad. Could have been so much more

As Andy Gray said as the final whistle was blown at Anfield; Arsenal answered anyone doubting their title credentials. A point at Anfield is a good result, no, a very good result on the face of it. However today it could have been so much more; with a bit of luck, a solid wall, some [...]

I woke up early this morning with great excitement. We have played two three tough away games, travelling to Ewood Park, Upton Park and White Hart Lane. However none of these are tastier than going to Anfield. Yes Liverpool are in a bit of a rut, yes we are in good form – but tomorrow [...]

A masterclass in Football – Arsenal 7 – 0 Slavia Prague

One quote summed up this evening’s performance: “Football from another planet”. I was confident we would get three points from tonight’s game but never expected anything along the lines of what I saw tonight. Everything the players tried seemed to come off and it was a true masterclass in how to play Football the beautfiul [...]

We want the Champions League – no excuses

As William Gallas said, it does not matter which major trophy we go for, the goal is simple – we must win something. Waking up this morning I saw our skipper on Sky Sports News explaining that he wants either to be League Champions or European Champions. He knows we can succeed in each of [...]

Yet another hard working performance kills off Bolton

This season has been a fantastic one so far with 11 wins in a row in all competitions. During this run there have been two main types of performance; one of beauty and one of grit and determination. Each type of victory is equally satisfying but I think I am doing certain performances a disjustice. [...]

What’s Going on in the World of Arsenal???

Arsenal’s last game was over a week ago – 8 days to be precise – and I cannot wait for the Bolton match on Saturday. Top of the table fever has hit me. Don’t get me wrong last season I looked forward to every match but this season there is something new; there is an [...]

We can sign big players – lets get out of the mindset that we can’t!

During the last few days I have seen us linked with a few players; Micah Richards, Robert Green, Martin Caceres and Kaka. There are some things I would like to analyse following these rumours. Having visited a few forums to get the lo-down on what Gooners think about these perspective signings (?) I noticed a [...]

"One game at a time" – So important

Today’s game highlighted the importance of “one game at a time”. Many Arsenal fans are already talking about the upcoming fixtures against Manchester United and Liverpool. They mention going into this games full of confidence with a gap on the two teams. They are assuming we will win the two games previous to this. We [...]

Arsenal vs Sunderland – Match Preview

When asked who he could face if Roy Keane could come back for one match, he answered Arsenal. The battles he had with members of our past midfield were always anticipated. Roy Keane and Patrick Vieria did not get on but respected each other on the pitch. I doubt we will see similar antics between [...]
