Three goals in seven second half minutes gave Arsenal fans the comeback they were all craving for and the team a trip to the north east to look forward to for the 5th round of the FA Cup. It was the kind of schizo self-sabotaging performance we are not strangers to from the Arsenal but [...]

That was amazing. The movement, the control, the finish. The exaggerated sulks, the slow-motion running, the memorable celebration. It was like he never left. If you’re going to use the 34-year-old’s goal as evidence that Chamakh/Arshavin/[insert attacker here] isn’t up to it, that it shows what this squad currently lack, I don’t begrudge you. But [...]

It would [...]

Post image for West Brom win shows Arsenal are beginning to gel

We are starting to gel. After overcoming the doom and gloom of a terrible start to the season we’ve produced three good results in a row — starting with the thrilling 5-3 victory over Chelsea that ranks up there as one of the most entertaining games of Arsene Wenger’s fifteen years in charge. As plaudits [...]

Arsenal’s return to prominence continues after they saw off Stoke City 3-1 in a tense encounter at the Emirates stadium.  Gervinho and Peter Crouch exchanged blows for either side before Robin van Persie stole all three points for the Londoners late on with a brace as they maintain their excellent form to rise to 7th [...]
