Unfortunately time constraints have prevented me from getting a preview of any substance up for today’s game against Chelsea. Instead I thought I’d just create a space for the readers to share their thoughts both before and after the game. Cheers – and here’s to an Arsenal win! Have your say on Arsenal v Chelsea [...]

It’s currently 8am on Sunday morning in Brisbane, 18 hours away from the kick-off to Arsenal v Manchester United, and I’m excited. For the first time in a number of seasons both teams are in with a good chance of winning the Premiership and that makes for a spectacular game. United sit four points behind [...]

The Arsenal FC Blog has been nominated for ‘Best Team Site’ in the 2009 Soccerlens Awards. Vote for it by clicking here! This weekend’s game against Stoke feels a bit like a speed bump. We’ve just gone top of the league table, we’ve got Aston Villa, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool waiting for us just [...]

The Arsenal FC Blog has been nominated for ‘Best Team Site’ in the 2009 Soccerlens Awards. Vote for it by clicking here! If our boys can replicate the score they posted away at Bolton on Sunday against the same team at home tonight, they will go top of the Premier League. It’s almost unbelievable really, [...]

I’ve got a thumping headache right now so I’ve got no choice but to keep today’s match preview short. Here goes: Sol Campbell has officially signed and will wear #31. He won’t be featuring against Bolton though. Cesc Fabregas will be back in the side, Gael Clichy at least in the squad while Aaron Ramsey is [...]

First things first, a quick apology for the lack of posts this week. The combination of a two-day music festival and having to move house meant I had very little time this week for the Arsenal, although with the postponement of the Bolton game it hardly mattered. Thankfully this afternoon’s match with Everton has been [...]

It’s bottom-of-the-table Portsmouth in the league tonight in another important game. With Chelsea winning last night to end their little blip it’s vital that we bring three points back from Fratton Park to keep up our chase at the top. Cesc Fabregas will of course be absent after tweaking his hamstring against Aston Villa, although [...]

So Christmas is over and it’s back to the football today as Arsenal take on Aston Villa. Our boys currently sit third in the league with Villa a spot behind only on goal difference so it looks to be an excellent contest. The big news going into the game is the possible return of Cesc [...]

It’s a ridiculously short Arsenal vs Hull preview today because I’m off on a road-trip to the New South Wales hinterland to enjoy a weekend of (near) isolation. Here goes: Cesc Fabregas’ injury is not as bad as expected. It looks like a maximum 10-day injury and that means he could well be available for [...]

It’s Burnley at Turf Moor tonight in a contest that we really need to win. I really don’t care how we manage it, whether we put five past them or squeak home by the odd goal in seven, but failure to take maximum points would undoubtedly sour the sweet taste still lingering from the fantastic [...]

If we beat Liverpool at Anfield tonight it won’t put us back in the title race because we were never out of it in the first place. Since our boys lost to Chelsea and fell 11 points behind the league leaders they have collected one point from the last two games. A week ago they [...]

It’s just a very brief post today involving a preview of the final Champions League group stage game against Olympiacos. As expected, Arsene Wenger has named a youthful squad for the trip to Greece. Players like Fran Merida, Jack Wilshere and Craig Eastmond will help make up a blended squad that will also include first-teamer [...]

Wenger apology Before I preview the Stoke game I need to make an apology to one Arsene Wenger. In yesterday’s post I criticised the manager for refusing to shake hands with Mark Hughes. And while I still stand by the fact that he probably should have done the sporting thing, after reading everybody’s comments and [...]

I’ll get onto the Manchester City game in the moment – but before then I have some transfer news to go through. That’s right: transfer news. In December! Whatever will be next? The big news is Arsene Wenger’s rather massive proclamation that he will be actively looking for a striker to replace Robin van Persie [...]

It’s Arsenal v Chelsea at The Emirates on Sunday and what a game it promises to be. A win would see our boys close to within 5 points of our opponents with a game in hand while a loss… well, it’s a bit too scary to think about. Kieran Gibbs will of course be out [...]

It’s Standard Liege in the Champions League tonight with top spot and a place in the second round of the competition at stake. The manager will want his players focused on this game rather than the one against Chelsea yet his line-up will undoubtedly take into account his plan for the weekend. Arsene Wenger will [...]
