It was the best of times. That’s all. No Dickens style rider. From the pre-match aperitifs, through some wonderful Italian food in good company, to one of the most emotive nights the Grove has hosted, it was a special day. That it was such an un-Arsenal like display, but one that harked back to the best […]

Arsenal arrived at Vicarage Road minus David Ospina and Gabriel. Early reports suggest the former will also not be available for Tuesday’s visit of Bayern Munich which keeps the Champions League goalkeeper issue bubbling under for another couple of weeks. With Laurent Koscielny back alongside Per Mertesacker and Theo Walcott preferred to Olivier Giroud the […]

Some seriously good food in great company. Roy Keane may not agree, but this is the way to start a matchday. Vocal chords lubricated by polar opposites of red it was time to take a pew. Could we follow up last seasons improved performances against big rivals on the road and record a rare home success […]

As some had hoped beforehand Arsene retained Per Mertesacker, Mathieu Flamini, and Aaron Ramsey from the squad team that won at the other end of Seven Sisters Road on Wednesday. We started with our attacking set-up. Flamini holding with Santi Cazorla in the box to box role, Aaron Ramsey and Alexis right and left, with […]

Arsene made ten changes from the side that started at the bus stop in Fulham but the side was packed with experience. Per Mertesacker was joined by Calum Chambers in the middle of the back four, protected by Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini. The early jousting went to and fro with Joel Campbell featuring on […]

Arsene opted for a little rotation in Zagreb as expected beforehand. David Ospina, Mathieu Debuchy, Kieran Gibbs, Mikel Arteta, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Olivier Giroud were recalled. Chelsea too, with one eye on Saturday one suspects, also made six changes. Half chances were traded in the opening minutes as both sides looked to test the full-backs. […]

Arsene Wenger named an unchanged side for the visit of Stoke City to the Grove. That meant of course that Theo Walcott retained the striker’s role with Olivier Giroud remaining on the bench. The Gunners started strongly and in the fourth minute Alexis Sanchez was denied by a wonderful Butland tip on to the post. […]

This football season, like every one that has passed before, will see Arsenal produce performances that amaze and delight, and others that will frustrate. What will determine how the season pans out is how we are able to dig in and get results when we are doing the latter. Today was one of those, and […]
