Arsenal’s seven-game unbeaten streak extended to eight over the weekend as two late goals from Samir Nasri and Nicklas Bendtner ensured a 3-1 win away to Hull City. Emmanuel Adebayor’s first-half header was cancelled out by another header by Daniel Cousin on 65 minutes before Nasri and Bendtner produced late efforts to win the match. Arsene Wenger [...]

The performance wasn’t perfect but Nicklas Bendtner’s late winner meant it was job done for Arsenal against Bolton at the Emirates. In terms of a spectacle the match was hardly one to remember as Bolton took sitting back to a new extreme, affording us over 75% possession and allowing us to dictate the match. And [...]

Due to an hard-earned break relaxing at the beach I missed the Portsmouth game and am unable to comment. Fortunately though, a friend of mine who goes by the name Alan Goat on the blog did see the game and filled me in. AG, a female fan and a very new fan at that, is [...]

Very rarely in football do you see a game where you feel that your team were both unlucky not to win and lucky not to lose, but that is exactly what happened for Arsenal in the 2-2 draw with Aston Villa. Our boys were were dominated all over the park in the opening 40 minutes [...]

It may not have been the result we were looking for before the game but under the circumstances a 1-1 draw with league leaders Liverpool was a decent outcome. Two goals of supreme quality and a horrendous sending-off decision were the key moments in a rough-and-tumble encounter at the Emirates. Robin van Persie and Robbie [...]

Feck me, another loss. That’s four in thirteen games now and we’re a full nine points off the top. Not the best result for a weekend where I celebrated my 23rd birthday, I must admit. I warned you in Friday’s post that there was a chance I might miss the game due to birthday-related commitments [...]

I’ll admit that 0-0 at home against a Fenerbahce team we beat 5-2 away doesn’t look too good on paper. And while the 6-4 scoreline that many people were predicting might eventuate never did, this was an acceptable result and a step in the right direction following the weekend loss to Stoke City. Given the [...]

Urgh – another disappointing result. Things were made a little bit better when Cesc Fabregas headed a late, late equaliser but for my money this outcome was just as disappointing as the game against Hull a week ago. I have to admit that although I stayed up until 2am to watch the game, the stream [...]

What a difference a couple of days make. Arsenal are back on track after their weekend blip against Hull City, smashing four goals with no reply past a hopeless Porto side at the Emirates. Robin van Persie and Emmanuel Adebayor got two goals each as Cesc Fabregas gave a masterful midfield performance, tearing the Porto [...]

The performance may have been lacking but the result certainly wasn’t as Arsenal came away from a difficult first game of the new season with a 2-0 win over FC Twente. After absorbing quite a lot of pressure in the opening hour Arsenal took the lead through William Gallas’ bundled finish before Emmanuel Adebayor added [...]

There is a lot of Arsenal news for me to catch up on since last Thursday so bear with me while I get through it all. First up is the 10-2 demolition of Burgenland XI – the side with the strangest and funniest name since Grasshopper-Club from Zürich. Nicklas Bendtner scored four (yes, four), Carlos [...]
