Sometimes……. Firstly, what a weekend of sport, England looked down and out against South Africa in the Cricket World Cup but put in a top fielding performance to win against all odds – Wolves had to settle for a point off the Spuds when a win should have been the result. The Dippers beat the […]

Won? Lost? No way to tell just yet, as we still have a few games to play…This afternoon’s goalless draw is clearly a missed opportunity to close the gap to one point on Manchester United, as they head into tomorrow’s early afternoon kickoff at Anfield. I don’t necessarily think this will be our last opportunity, […]
Yep, it’s true, Aaron Ramsey, who’s return will be classed as being ‘like a new signing’, could make his return today against Sunderland as Wenger has confirmed he’s in the squad. If he’s ready to play, I hope he’s in the first team, not just the squad! Cesc Fabregas, Theo Walcott, Thomas Vermaelen, Robin van […]
Firstly, congratulations to the Arsenal team, a great result after our abysmal performance at Wembley. A five nil win against Leyton Orient was very emphatic and well deserved, the players were very focused and passed the ball about very effectively. A good one touch goal from a Rosicky fine run and a well executed cut […]
After the disappointment of losing the Carling Cup final on Sunday, we thankfully had another match within a few days to focus us and hopefully start the recovery process. Under ordinary circumstances, an FA Cup home replay tie with Leyton Orient may be considered straightforward; but these are anything but ordinary circumstances. Amid Arsene’s admission […]
Another replay tonight, this one is in the FA Cup against Leyton Orient just in case you had forgotten.We don’t seem to be able to kill off sides who sit below us in the league do we? Leeds, Ipswich, Orient – oh but hang on, we managed to beat Huddersfield.. Didn’t we? We have many […]
Today is another day, the media have had their moment, the players and fans have had time to get over the Sunday debacle, forget it! Now it’s time to re-group and focus on the last few months of the season. Yes, the Carling Cup defeat was a bitter pill to swallow for everyone with Arsenal’s […]
Four years and two days ago, we faced Chelsea in Carling Cup final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, losing 2-1 on a late Drogba goal. That was our first season at the Emirates, and I certainly did not think we would wait four years to reach another cup final. But we did, and today […]
So the day is finally here, it’s Carling Cup Final day and for the first time since 2007 we are taking part but for every Arsenal Player and fan, today is not about just ‘taking part’. Today is about winning, it’s about Arsene Wenger outwitting Alex McLeish, the Arsenal players playing better than Birmingham, us […]
Well our young Polish keeper says he’s a bit mad and with it comes great belief in himself and the team ahead of Sunday. This time last season we were all crying out for a new goal keeper, both Almunia and Fabianski were displaying their weaknesses – every keeper linked to us raised hope but […]
So then what we all feared has come true, Captain Cesc and Theo are out for Sunday and someone needs to take their place. Suggestion is that Cesc has 48 hours to beg Wenger to change his mind and let him play, so we may yet see a turn around. You know what it’s like, […]
Back to league competition for an important fixture against Stoke City at the Ems this evening. This match was originally scheduled for Saturday, December 18, 2010 but was postponed due to the pre-Christmas deep freeze that hit England. So two months on, we tried again, with our Arsenal squad in arguably better mental and physical […]
