A great match in midweek versus Dortmund secured our Champions League qualification, and with it the opportunity to perhaps rest a few legs in the final group game. The Carling Cup game early next week is another such tie, but with City coming to the Emirates rotation is most likely to be on a “needs [...]

Arsenal versus Marseilles has come around, and with it the opportunity to pretty much tie up our Champions League qualification with a victory. Coming top is key in order to increase the likelihood of an easier game in the next round, but many have suggested Wenger may rotate somewhat. The obvious candidate for a breather [...]

If you have been following us this past week you will know that the various sites we run have been going up and down like the proverbial. So, I won’t take too long writing this, in case we lose service again, but here’s the quickie from last night.

Of course one doesn’t like to boast, and I am well aware that quoting oneself is a sign of a thoroughly deluded mind.
But nevertheless, if I may quote from yesterday’s preview.
“I thought Koscielny played well on Sunday, and when Vermaelen returns we will have three centre backs in good form [...]

Three wins and a draw in Europe to kick off the season – is that our best start? Actually it isn’t, but I just wanted to make the point about how silly all the knocking stuff is.
Before Wenger there was no regular European service at Highbury – under Rioch we made [...]

Theo is injured, Gervinho is injured, Koscielny is injured, plus all the others you know about, like Sébastien Squillaci, Jack Wilshere, Abou Diaby, Yossi Benayoun, Thomas Vermaelen, and Johan Djourou.
So who have we got left?
Goal – no problems
Central defence: Alex Song plus Per Mertesacker with Ignasi Miquel in reserve.

This weekend brings Bolton down to the Emirates stadium, and with the second string returning to winning ways, it’d be great if the first team could follow suit. Bolton are a strange side, with a lot of positivity surrounding Owen Coyle’s management that isn’t really borne out by the results. They came in at 14th [...]

So, how do you write an article following up on that then? Clearly those were a three points that we should’ve been taking home, especially after a generally excellent first half performance.
I’m not going to dissect the game as frankly, you can read that on any Arsenal blog and having been [...]

I’ve always liked Blackburn away, mainly because I can get tickets. That aside, being a Northern-based Gooner I’ve a few of friends who are Blackburn fans, so I suppose there’s more riding on this game for me than just the three points being contested.
A few years ago, when some members of [...]

Borussia as you will know, being educated fellows and not like those hearty roughs from down the Seven Sisters Road, is Latin. It means Prussia, which is the ancient state which came out of the Margraviate of Brandenburg.

You know the negativity surrounding Arsenal is getting a little silly when your Everton-supporting boss bets you £10 that they will finish above Arsenal this season. Now, I know we’ve lost a few players this summer, but for a club who’s only summer signing is a contract extension for Phil Neville, well… [...]

There is a saying, “If you think you are beaten, you are”. And certainly for many Arsenal bloggers that is true.
Fortunately it is never true for Mr Wenger, a man who never knows when he is beaten, and who is therefore our most successful manager in 125 years of history.

After Nasri’s recent departure, Arsenal travel away to Udinese for a hugely crucial tie. The Italian side took some –myself included – by surprise in the first leg, but there’ll be no risk of them being underestimated this evening. The Liverpool result wasn’t the best preparation for this tie, but positives can [...]
