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 […]
Let’s get straight into the game, no faffing eh! Totts kicked off and within two minutes the worst fear became reality when Saha put them ahead, thanks mainly to a huge deflection off Vermaelen. The defence was all over the place, Gibbs had let Saha run free to get on the end of an Adebayor […]
Usually, even in defeat you can take some positives out of a game, just a crumb of comfort. Sometimes it can be just one players performance for example that can soften the blow, but after a European club record defeat like this yesterdays by a huge 4 goals, there is nothing that any of us […]
Arshavin, Ramsey & Henry – well well well…. When was the last time that Arsene Wenger made three substitutions and each one made a difference? No idea is my answer but yesterday each one did, they changed the game. Ramsey wasn’t on long before his shot from distance battered both posts and landed in the […]
And so it began on a cold winters day in February, the boys had been told to rise and shine early for a 1pm kick off….. As the referees whistle blew, it didn’t take long before Francis Coquelin picked out Theo Walcott down the right, he then played an inch perfect ball along the ground […]
So, same old same old for our side last night, lots of the ball, yet not once could we hit the back of the net. The first quarter of an hour was all us and we came close when Robin had a header cleared off the line and our striker nearly turned provider when he […]
Snippet on Ryo from Wenger: I will have a chat with him tomorrow and I have a little plan. Oxlade-Chamberlain plays on the flanks now too, so if I can find an opportunity for him to play somewhere I will decide whether to do that tomorrow. It will have to be in England because he […]
The early season thrashing 8-2 thrashing at Old Trafford seems almost a few seasons ago, as much has changed in the succeeding months. We strengthened the squad right before the end of the summer transfer window and steadily climbed the table, to where we finished calendar year 2011 in fourth place. Since the beginning of […]
