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 [...]

Good day to you all.

Some interesting news coming from Arsene’s pre-match press conference yesterday. Alex Hleb is not for sale, and Mattie Flamini’s deadline has been extended to Monday due to ‘negotiation problems’. For me that basically means Arsenal are, as I suggested yesterday, succumbing to the threat of him leaving on a free [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

After an action packed weekend, followed by an action packed week, it’s going to be another busy weekend this weekend as we travel up to Bolton to take on the “trotters” in a game that we really need to win.
It’s been 5 games since we last won a Premiership game, and we’re simply not used [...]
