Arsenal were rewarded with all three points for a concentrated and energetic performance against Blackburn at Ewood Park. The home side caused trouble for us throughout the match with their game plan to attack aerially via long balls but our boys stood up well, scoring two goals either side of Mame Biram Diouf’s equaliser to [...]

It was always going to take something fairly hefty to break up the promised silence between my last post and the launch of the new Arsenal FC Blog scheduled for the 13th of August. As it is, it’s not just one great piece of news, but two. The first is that Cesc Fabregas has rejoined [...]

Just a bit of housekeeping to kick things off. As the World Cup has now drawn to a close, this will be my last article until the new Arsenal season begins. Andy will take up the reigns again shortly, probably once he’s recovered from all his travels and so forth. I’d like to thank Andy [...]

My apologies for the tardiness of this post, folks. Sometimes regular life intrudes on the Arsenal life. Would that every day could be dedicated to The Arsenal, I’d be one happy camper (and my posts would show up in a more timely manner!). One hopefully positive event coming on Monday will be the official announcement [...]

A bit of an Admin note here to start things off. Yesterday, reader Dave M asked in the comments why Arsenal FC Blog haven’t been covering the Laurent Koscielny news. It’s a good question, and there’s a simple answer. Rather an Occam’s Razor-type thing, really. Before Andy took off on his wild, Football Nomad World [...]

Done & dusted. The Group Stage coughed up its final death rattle yesterday with an absolute snooze fest between Brazil and Portugal and North Korea took yet another drubbing. How bad was Brazil V Portugal? So bad that whistles over boring play could be heard well before the final whistle and both sides were booed [...]

Time to kick it up a notch. Four matches a day to finish off the Group Stage and there’s still A LOT to play for. Only a few teams have qualified through as yet, so these last Group matches will be do or die. We could see some of the expected teams, France and England [...]

The 2010 World Cup finally got underway a short while ago, with a decidedly more active match between Spain and Switzerland. I think all football purists, whether they were pulling for either side or just wanting classic attacking football, were looking forward to seeing the Spanish maestros at work. Well, we got half of what [...]

I have had some requests from people via the comments and on Facebook to do an article on what Arsenal should do if Cesc leaves. But to perfectly honest, I can’t really see the point. As things stand he is an Arsenal player. Until I see some quotes from the player, the manager or the [...]

Cesc Fabregas and Thomas Vermaelen have been rewarded for their outstanding performance for Arsenal this season with selection for the PFA Team of the Year for 2009/10. Fabregas developed from one of the world’s brightest starlets into a fully fledged star, contributing 15 goals and a equal league-high 15 assists from just 27 Premiership games [...]

Arsenal’s 3-1 win over Burnley was far more work for our boys than I thought it would be. Yet in some ways a struggle rather than a breezy victory was just the right preparation for the crucial European with Porto on Tuesday. It was also a poignant reminder that if the team with the worst [...]
