Aston Villa have both comprehensively beaten Chelsea and been well beaten by Manchester United. In both of these they burst out of the blocks and took an early lead. In one they held off some pressure from their opposition and in the other they were pegged back soon after and eventually punished heavily. Against Chelsea [...]
Sevilla 3 Arsenal 1 – Lets put it behind us and move on
On reflection this 3-1 defeat has cost us control of the group and affected our chances of a decent draw in the knockout rounds. However there are benefits of this loss. It might not seem it straight away but think about it a little:
With so many first teamers out rested or injured the loss will [...]
Arsenal go 3 points clear under Gallas’ guidance
William Gallas had his doubters at the start of the season when he was named skipper of the side ahead of Kolo Toure and last season’s stand in Gilberto. People questioned his commitment to this club at times and others questioned why such an outspoken player was made captain. People wondered why he was given [...]

Last year we either spent 80 minutes struggling to break the opposition down after they took a surprise lead. Although [...]
The Three Musketeers – Hleb, Fabregas And Rosicky (Reading Away)
Cast your minds back to this time last season and Arsenal’s visit to the Madejski Stadium. Arsenal ripped a Reading side – tipped for Europe – to shreds and it was a ‘perfect’ game of Football if I ever I saw one. The way we passed the ball was amazing and the Reading fans all [...]
Boring is being nice to the 0-0 draw against Slavia
We got the point to take us through to the knockout round of the Champions League but this was by no means a classic. Wenger made 8 changes, as expected, from Saturday and the game was tentative to start with and remained pretty boring to say the least throughout. Many expected another thrashing but it [...]
