The World of Arsenal

Young Theo stole the show in a good contest at the Stadium of Light today. In a game that saw Gallas rested and Cesc & Toure injured, a youthful side set about the task of taking on the former Man U captain’s team. Walcott scored the only goal to make it 83 points for the [...]

Weakened teams by both sides, saw both teams start with a 4-5-1 formation and reserver strikers and midfields. The game started less cagey than the one in midweek.
Immediately Eboue was back to his worst with a run that saw him do nothing and a backheel to a Liverpool player. Hoyte was playing at right back [...]

So the first leg is over, the result was 1 -1 at the Emirates and we’ve all had a good night’s sleep and are more equipped to review the reaction from the game. Last night, I commentated as I watched the game, that’s why you ended up with a random passage of nonsense… but none [...]

Arsenal vs Liverpool
Champions League First Leg, The Emirates
It amazing how much excitement a build up to a game can be. This is it. The big one.
Both sides started very cagey, and Eboue starting badly (again), lacking ideas, lacking any bother to want to play. I won’t gone on about Eboue, but let’s just say we’ll [...]

Adversity.
It’s a word that describes when it doesn’t go your way, when things come up and cause difficulties, it’s when all things conspire against you. When Drogba, Anelka and Kalou were offside and a 1-0 win turns into a 2-1 loss. Adversity.
Today’s game was all about adversity. Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. [...]

Sometimes you think you know Arsene so well you can read his mind. Yesterday’s predicted line-up including the bench was spot-on. It was exactly what I thought Arsene would do, but maybe it’s obvious considering who was available and the fact we were at home.
With both Man U and Chelsea winning earlier in the day, [...]

Morning all, and it’s Monday today. The start of another week. We were held to a goalless draw yesterday at Wigan and is it another point closer or it two points dropped. Well, it’s both. The performance yesterday wasn’t in the same league as the performance in the San Siro.
We had another bout of injuries, [...]

The game started well, with both Milan and us [...]

It’s Sunday and yesterday saw another interesting day of football. The Villa came to the Emirates and all fans were looking for 3 points from a home fixture, especially after last weekend’s disappointing draw. It wasn’t to be today and there are two ways of looking at this game - another 2 points dropped, or [...]

Today has been a very bad day for me and for Arsenal.
It was my birthday dinner today with Friends and Family and it was the only positive of a very upsetting day this weekend. I went up to Birmingham on Friday and was up nice and early for the game. Our “reserved” parking space was [...]
