Arsenal Match Previews

It’s Manchester United in the Champions League tonight and if you’re not excited by now you should probably check if your heart’s still beating. Games against United have always been special since Arsene Wenger took over as manager and with a Champions League final place at stake tonight’s game at Old Trafford certainly falls in [...]

It’s a rather exciting Monday post today due to the launch of Arsenal FC Weekly podcast. I’ll talk more about that a bit later but before then is a review of yesterday’s game.  As a warm-up for the big game against United this week, yesterday’s 2-0 win over Middlesbrough could hardly have gone better.  Two [...]

In today’s post I’ve got a preview of the Middlesbrough game, some thoughts on next week’s United clash and some details on the very first Arsenal FC Blog Podcast, which will launch on Monday, to talk [...]

Hello there and a happy, happy Friday to all of you. If you’re anything like what I am today – still glowing as a result of Arsenal’s performance on Wednesday night – then you’ll surely be reading this post with a big smile on your face. Nice one. It’s essentially a three-part post today as [...]

It’s the second leg of the Villarreal game tonight and what a contest it looks to be. It’s doubtful we’ll see anything quite like the 4-4 draw between Chelsea and Liverpool last night but there should certainly be some good attacking football on display. And even if there isn’t, I won’t really care if Arsene [...]

It’s Villarreal in the Champions League tonight and there is a fair bit of excitement buzzing around my body in the build-up to this game. And while the tie can’t be decided tonight a good result in Spain will see us take a big step towards the semi-finals with the second leg to be play [...]

Woo-fecking-hoo – Arsenal is back. An International Break as dull as my 9th grade English teacher is over and that means it’s time to return to the real football. Oh, how I’ve missed it. Unfortunately the “break” has seen us lose three key players to injury – Robin van Persie, Abou Diaby and the freshly crocked [...]

Hello again and a very happy St Patrick’s Day to you all – particularly Mr Arseblogger – who flies the green and red flag for all of those Irish Arsenal supporters out there. It’s Hull City tonight in the FA Cup and should things go well then there’s sure to happy, drunk Arsenal supporters roaming [...]

Arsenal play Roma tomorrow night for a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Our team takes a 1-0 first-leg lead with them to Rome, safe in the knowledge that a clean sheet will see them through while a goal would leave their Italian opponents needing to score three. In this pre-preview of Arsenal’s [...]

‘Tis another wonderfully sunny and beautiful day on this side of the globe. And better still, it’s Friday afternoon and that means the weekend. Celebrations are in order and I’ve started them in the best possible way by sipping on a couple of white wines. Absolutely superb. This weekend is an exciting one for Arsenal. We [...]

There have been numerous suggestions made about Arsenal’s inability to put the ball in the back of the net of late. But today I’m here to tell you that they’re all wrong. Every single one of them. It has nothing to do with the effort our players are putting in. Nothing to do with the lack [...]

Hello and a fun-filled and fabulous Friday to you. Tomorrow sees another important game against Fulham at The Emirates. A quick glance at the table sees the away side in eighth place at the moment but a closer look at their results show that Fulham are yet to win away in the Premier League this season. [...]

Hello again – hope you’re doing well. It was quite a day on the blog yesterday as many, many people had their say on everything from the possibility of Arsenal finishing fifth to Arsene Wenger’s team selections to the effectiveness of the Song/Denilson midfield partnership. It was an excellent debate, perhaps the best that this [...]

To get straight to the point, the reasons why Johan Djourou and Carlos Vela should start against Sunderland are: Kenwyn Jones will be playing. Emmanuel Eboue is our only other option on the wing. Well, the second is not strictly true, but if the manager’s pre-match comments are anything to go by then it seems [...]

The return of Eduardo

by Andrew Weber on February 16, 2009

So the football resumes tonight – with Arsenal hosting Cardiff City at the Emirate – and that means the blog is back too. Did you miss me? In truth I had a highly tumultuous weekend. The fun of Mama Fry’s 50th on Saturday was ruined by subsequent food poisoning I dealt with for the rest [...]

Sweet mother of mercy – what is going on with Andrei Arshavin? One minute the deal’s on, the next minute it’s off. Then it’s on again, then it’s off again. It reminds me off that clip from The Simpsons where Mrs. Krabappel keeps teasing Bart with a yo-yo. It’s cruel and evil and I don’t [...]

F@&*! I just wrote an absolutely epic post for today covering Arsene Wenger’s thoughts on Andrei Arshavin, Manchester City and Kaka, injuries in the squad as well as the game against Hull. And now, thanks to an unfortunate click of the wrong button, it’s all gone. It’s a blogger’s worst nightmare come to life when [...]
