Morning Gooners, Arsenal 3 Norwich 3 neutrals would say a hard-fought game. Arsenal went ahead on 65 seconds through Yossi Benayoun with a wonderful solo goal curled into the top corner. The goal didn’t faze Norwich, they surged forward as if they knew that the Arsenal defence would be breached at any minute and of […]

Morning all, Facing Stoke away from home on a bleak, cold and murky afternoon did not make great conditions for an important game such as this. Stoke kicked off and we started with conviction, looking like a side that was really up for this game! We harried the Stoke players and closed them down quickly […]
Go on, admit it, when Theo Walcott hobbled off with what looked like a hamstring injury, you were smiling and thinking thank goodness. Well I wasn’t, and watching Gervinho play in his position for the rest of the game, wasn’t enough to convince me otherwise. I seriously worry about out next three fixtures and our […]
Alan Pardew popped over to Holland to check out Vertonghen at the weekend, speculation is now rife that he heads the queue for hiring the services of the Belgian. However, fellow Ajax defender, Toby Alderweireld is also on the Newcastle managers wish list for the summer, lets hope it was him he was watching, knowing […]
This is how we lined up: Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Djourou, Santos, Song, Arteta, Ramsey, Benayoun, Walcott, Van Persie. Substitutes: Fabianski, Squillaci, Jenkinson, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh, Park. Three minutes on the clock and Robin had our first chance but his shot was saved by Hennessey in the Wolves goal. Then, with just eight minutes gone, Bassong […]
What a game, what a result eh? We lined up with the same starting eleven that battered Tottenham Hotspur, a good omen? As the game got underway, early touches by Clichy were greeted with jeers from our home fans, somewhat surprising I thought, especially as many fans were glad to see the back of him […]
Let’s start with the team selection: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Ramsey, Walcott, Van Persie. Substitutes: Fabianski, Djourou, Santos, Benayoun, Gervinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Chamakh. Arsenal kicked off with Mike Dean refereeing the game, both teams made their intention clear from the start. The home team were clearly trying to impose an ‘in your […]
I didn’t watch the game live, had to wait for Football First later on in the day but Matt Le Tissier was covering our match on Sky Sports and he made me chuckle, he usually does. He said that our goal keeper had absolutely nothing to do in the first half, which made me wonder […]
On Sunday 26th February, at approx 2.09pm, Tottenham Hotspur leading by 2 goals to nil at Ashburton Grove and the prospect of taking a 13 point lead over the Gunners, thoughts of Arsenal finishing in 3rd spot in the EPL, might have had you scanning the Yellow Pages looking under the heading for a psychiatrist… […]
Just a little Titbit about the much wanted M’Vila, according to The Daily Mail, his club manager has confirmed he will be sold in the summer, get in there Arsene… What a night, we had time wasting by Newcastle, bit of a war of words at the end and somewhere in between we had three […]
Four goals was the minimum, not conceding was imperative, we just couldn’t quite manage one of the two. We all hoped for an early goal and we got it, around seven minutes on the clock and from a Chamberlain corner, Kos lost his man and headed home. Shortly after, Robin had a chance from a […]
If ever there was a game to challenge our mindset, it was this one. Not many sides go to Anfield and get three points do they and they were buzzing after their unconvincing victory against Cardiff in the Carling Cup Final. But, they won that final, and that’s all that matters as far as all […]
