Once again Arsenal secured the three points, and did so in a fashion designed to test the heartbeat fully. Having come back from behind at West Ham, and negotiated a single goal triumph at Newcastle, today we saw one of those games that happen every now and again where a last gasp goal was required […]

“I am very happy. It was a very intense game against a good Newcastle team. We got a big physical challenge today. Overall I felt that we were in control of the game until we scored the 1-0. We missed a second chance that would have certainly sealed the game. In the last 15 minutes […]

Right then, back home after yesterday enjoying at least parts of the match with two of the newest Junior Gunners (great membership packs and delivered in time for Christmas, thanks Arsenal). The youngest didn’t last much of the first-half, the lure of the vacant Xbox proving too strong, but he was back for the culmination […]

The fixture computer might have been kinder in the supposed season of goodwill. A game that had the neutrals howling in protest ended with the points shared and little to commend it if we are brutally honest. It would be churlish to complain about the visitors setting up not to be beaten, as confirmed by […]

There is no escaping the reality of a 6-3 defeat. The ‘no longer the best defence in the league’ were horribly exposed and unprepared for the storm that they faced against a very good Manchester City side. Make no mistake, some poor officiating did not help our cause, but the hosts were good value for […]

For over an hour in Naples Arsenal were doing what they had to do in order to get the point needed to clinch top spot in group F. The final seventeen minutes saw crucial goals in both Naples and Marseille that saw us qualifying for the knock-out phase instead in second place. Most would have […]

Well that didn’t go entirely to plan. When Mesut Ozil scored with just ten minutes remaining I was thinking perhaps the ‘holic pound was coming in again. I should have known. To be fair Everton had signaled their intent from early on, and the first half possession stats demonstrated their positive approach. Having said that […]

Five changes, including a recall for Nicklas Bendtner, got the supporters chatting before kick-off. Was it disrespectful, dangerous even, possibly underestimating the opponents? The first response arrived just a couple of minutes in when following some superb build-up play on the right Carl Jenkinson crossed for Bendtner to head home. The perfect start. The opening […]

My thanks to Cent who answered an SOS in the drinks to give a report on the impressive win in Cardiff. Wonder what Arsenal fans in Nigeria go through to follow their team? Have a flavour of it here. Cheers Cent. Arsenal traveled to Wales to take on Cardiff City off the back of two […]

We lost and regained the ball in the opening seconds, and Bacary Sagna sent Jack Wilshere free on the right flank. Before thirty seconds were out the number ten wriggled inside Mendes and curled a gorgeous left foot chip into the far corner. One nil to the Arsenal. Jack almost set up a second but […]
