The draw for the FA Cup quarter-finals took place last night and we came out with a trip to Bramall Lane to take on fellow Premier League side Sheffield Utd on the weekend of Saturday, March 21. Not an easy fixture by any means and I’d much rather our number had come out of the pot […]
I found it interesting listening to Alan Shearer, Ian Wright, Glen Johnson and Gary Linekar last night whilst they were covering the Chelsea v Liverpool FA Cup fixture. A fixture Chelsea won by the way. The question posed by Linekar related to Chelsea’s inconsistency this season. Brilliant one minute, or at least good one minute, […]
Playing against a lower league side is tricky for Arsenal. Nelson can go 0-60 quicker than my old Puch Maxi. Mike Dean really is a twerp. The first half was scrappy. Yes Portsmouth were creating the better openings but if anyone thought they looked like scoring they were kidding themselves. In my opinion of […]
What a weekend of football just gone. The results have really done Arsenal a huge favour by opening the door to European football. Bournemouth drew with Chelsea, Everton drew with Man Utd, Toots were beaten at home by Wolves and the finally, the big one. Watford spanked Liverpool 3-0 and with it, made sure our […]
Well that didn’t end well. In fact very little went well for the entire 120 minutes really, other than a thing of beauty off Auba’s boot. I’m not cross, just really disappointed because we had so many opportunities to put the game to bed but our front men failed to pull the trigger, Pepe in particular. […]
Tonight is simple, keep a clean sheet and we’re through. If the Greek side happen to score two, then we simply have to win. Our away goal means the pressure is on Olympiacos to score, to bring the tie level before hoping they can dish out a sucker punch late in the game. A […]
beIN Sports have a few quotes from Arsene Wenger which came after the final whistle blew at Stamford Bridge. Not a good night at all for Frank Lampard and his team. What has he [Lampard] learned… but he knew already, because you don’t lose five home games if your team is superior to every […]
The celebration from Eddie after his goal at the weekend caused a few raised eyebrows but as expected, it was just a bit of in house fun rather than him getting ahead of himself. “It’s just a little phone call! In pre-season Arsenal Media came up with a little thing ‘call me if you need a […]
Why shouldn’t a keeper make two or three top notch saves? If opposition players miss their chances to score goals, that’s their problem, not ours. After all, when was the last time someone said Arsenal were unlucky after missing opportunities of our own? Oh no, our players will be criticised until the cows come […]
Today’s fixture will be another tough test for Mikel Arteta and his team. Both clubs are in a similar situation I think with two managers early into their new career. Carlo Ancelotti is possibly one of the most experienced managers in the game, successful too but his best years are done in my opinion. […]
Morning all. A home win – 9/8. Draw – 27/10. Away win – 11/4. Those are current odds on offer at Oddschecker for our match against Everton on Sunday afternoon. I haven’t a clue what that means, or rather how the those how odds come about but I guess it’s no different to any of us […]
Morning all. On a dark winters evening, or rather night in Greece, a full stadium was in the mood, vocally. The home team started better, or we started slowly, take your pick. Either way, conceding an early goal looked on the cards. It never came. Mikel Arteta had said before kick off that he didn’t […]
