I had a lot of fun watching last night’s win over Udinese. We scored early, absorbed a lot of pressure, defended like lions hyenas and somehow managed to come away with a 1-0 victory. It was a similar story to the Newcastle game: we looked relatively harmless going forward and most of the good work [...]
I like to keep things fairly positive around here but I’m pretty frustrated today. Frustrated because the same team which performed so admirably to knock over the Champions-to-be last weekend were so terrible, so out-of-sorts against Stoke on Sunday that it was embarrassing. I would sound like a broken record if I said that our [...]

It is exceptionally difficult what to make of this Arsenal team at the moment.
