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 […]
December 18th 2010, Stoke were heading to The Emirates to face us in the Premier League but the weather put pay to that fixture. We had not long found out that we had been drawn against Barcelona in the Champions League and near on everyone wrote us off as soon as their name came out […]
Stoke at The Emirates is tomorrow night’s fixture. The hoofers, long throw ins, the ‘in yer face’ tackles will all be in the tactics dished out by Tony Pullis before the game I’m sure, all we need to do is keep the ball on the ground, find the perfect pass, find the perfect finish and […]
On the heels of our magnificent midweek Champions League first leg win over Barcelona, we headed into FA Cup weekend with a tricky away tie against League One mid-table side Leyton Orient. This was considered tricky primarily because, as we have already seen on more than one occasion this season, we tend to struggle against […]
Well, what can I say, you wait for what seems forever and its over in 90 minutes. Yes I’m talking Champions League and I’m well aware we are only at half time but the euphoria that I have been experiencing lasted one day and an evening of ups and downs. But that’s gone now for […]
That is of course according to everyone other than fans of Arsenal. Barcelona sit top of the Spanish equivalent of the Scottish Premier League with 62 points, their nearest rival is Real Madrid who are on 57 points. In third place is Valencia on 47 points. Yep, just like the Scottish PL, the La Liga […]
Over the last few years, we Arsenal fans have not had much incentive to watch England play football, possibly not since the days of David Seaman and Ian Wright. All our team players were scattered around world playing for other international sides. Then in 2006, Arsene Wenger invested a lot of money on Theo Walcott […]
Our first tie of this calendar year’s Champions League competition, hosting the very team and favorites to win it all, the same side that eliminated us in the quarterfinals of last year’s competition. When this draw was made late last year, many (particularly in media) characterized it as effectively a bye for FC Barcelona. For […]
Ding Ding, Round One!! When we lost our match in Portugal against Braga and on hearing Shaktar had won I knew from that moment that we could meet Barca. There was a sense of inevitability about it and the draw made in December confirmed what I believed would happen. Then came the media hype… Quite […]
According to reports, poor old Barcelona were so so tired after playing out a 1-1 draw at the weekend, manager Pep Guardiola cancelled their Sunday training session. They were snuffed out in the midfield against Sporting Dijon meaning ‘Andres Iniesta and Xavi could not play their football’. Well, if they were that good they should […]
