Chelsea

Chelsea are out of the Champions League after a comprehensive defeat to Inter Milan. It’s a massive result for Arsenal for two reasons. One, it removes an opponent that has already beaten us twice this season from the competition and two, because it has the psychological potential to derail Chelsea’s Premier League campaign. John Terry’s [...]

Once again it’s pretty quiet in the world of Arsenal. A trip to Stoke is of course on the agenda but we’re yet to hear from Arsene Wenger regarding player availability or any of the players regarding Wenger availability. It’s eerily quiet at the moment, a bit like that time in the N64 game Lylat [...]

It was another big game, another massive punch to the guts as Arsenal fell to a 2-0 loss against league leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Didier Drogba predictably got both goals, punishing two pieces of slack defending by Gael Clichy. The first saw Clichy leave his position on the far post for no apparent reason, [...]

Unfortunately time constraints have prevented me from getting a preview of any substance up for today’s game against Chelsea. Instead I thought I’d just create a space for the readers to share their thoughts both before and after the game. Cheers – and here’s to an Arsenal win! Have your say on Arsenal v Chelsea [...]

I think it’s fair to say that the fans’ confidence in Arsenal and Arsene Wenger is at the lowest point it has been this season. Sunday’s 3-1 defeat to Manchester United left our boys five points of the top of the table with league leaders and our opponents for this weekend Chelsea expected to extend [...]

Arsenal returned to winning ways at the weekend with a 2-0 win over Stoke although I did my best Arsene Wenger impression by not seeing the game. A late Friday night live-blogging the World Cup draw was followed by a fairly hectic house party at a friend’s on Saturday and meant that I was too [...]

Arsene Wenger may have said that ‘the score was a very unfair reflection of the game’, but in truth he could not have be more wrong. Chelsea were clinical in taking us apart at The Emirates and fully deserved to run out 3-0 winners. We may have had much more of the ball but the [...]

It’s Arsenal v Chelsea at The Emirates on Sunday and what a game it promises to be. A win would see our boys close to within 5 points of our opponents with a game in hand while a loss… well, it’s a bit too scary to think about. Kieran Gibbs will of course be out [...]

The Result Chelsea’s win over Manchester United last night was, from a points perspective, the worst possible result for Arsenal fans. It means Chelsea are 5 points clear at the top with Arsenal tied on points with United in second although we of course have a game in hand. Assuming we win that we will [...]

A few fun links for you in the build-up to the Arsenal vs Wolves game: Arsene Wenger calls Robin van Persie the best striker in the Premier League. ESPN Soccernet looks back at the impact made by Patrick Vieira in his time at Arsenal. Soccerlens predicts which teams will qualify for the knockout rounds of [...]

What a knob… Have your say on John Terry’s dance by leaving a comment.

I said I wanted to start afresh this week but it’s pretty hard to do that after watching Arsenal lose 4-1 to Chelsea in the final meaningful game of the season. Knocked out of the FA Cup a fortnight a go, knocked out of the Champions League in excruciating circumstances during the week, last night’s [...]

It’s Friday, I’m back and I’m not quite sure where to start. I should probably begin by apologising for the lack of a post yesterday. The truth was that I was utterly exhausted after getting up for two days of early morning-football and emotionally drained from watching us lose to Manchester United the way we [...]

There’s a lot to get through today with the league game against Liverpool tonight and some final thoughts on the FA Cup semi-final loss to Chelsea from the weekend. It was my Dad’s funeral yesterday (which was wonderful, by the way) so I didn’t get the opportunity to post about the 2-1 defeat. Like everyone else, [...]

I thought I’d throw out a cheeky Saturday blog today, just because I can. More correctly it’s because I’ve had a couple of beers and have a bit of time on my hands. Hooray! First things first I just want to say “thank you” to everybody who left comments on yesterday’s post. To have over [...]

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 a rather tired post today – a result of two early mornings of sleepy Champions League viewing.  * yawns * Thank goodness there were some good games though. Indeed, just when I thought Manchester United’s result was a surprise, up popped Chelsea to stick a dagger (well, three actually) into Liverpool at Anfield. Brilliant [...]
