We’re getting down to the bitter end of the Group Stage now, folks.  France?  Out.  Italy?  Out.  England in a win or go home 3rd Group Stage match.  Spain sweating on their 3rd match.  South Korea and Japan moving into the Knockout Stage.  I’ve watched A LOT of football over the last 14 days, but [...]

Dear or dear!  Does anyone else think maybe Theo Walcott and Samir Nasri are sitting at home about now, planning massive “THANK YOU!” flower arrangements to be sent round to Fabio Capello and Raymond Domenech?  Sure they were upset at not being selected for their respective national sides.  But everything happens for a reason, and [...]

As the game entered stoppage time with the scoreline at Arsenal 1, Hull City 1, I had a terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. A feeling that for all our good work this season, for all of our fighting and scrapping and regularly brilliant football, it would all come crashing down in the [...]

Forget about winning the Champions League. Forget about winning the Premier League. All that matters right now is that we go to Hull City tomorrow night and pick up three points. There’s been a bit of bad blood in this fixture over the past couple of years and with us fighting for the league and [...]

There was not a passenger to be seen in the red and white as Arsene Wenger’s men produced a near-perfect attacking performance to comfortably overturn a 2-1 first-leg deficit into a stunning 6-2 aggregate victory. The star men were Samir Nasri, Andrey Arshavin and Nicklas Bendtner, who shrugged off an erratic weekend performance against Burnley [...]

With the recent realisation that Nicklas Bendtner’s #52 kit essentially makes him The B52, my roommate Darragh and I have decided he needs a B52′s song to be sung about him by the fans. And what better song than ‘Rock Lobster’?! Here’s our modified lyrics: We were at the Emirates Everybody had matching boots Somebody [...]

So it’s Thursday, the Carling Cup game detour is done and dusted and we can all look forward to the real football again. That might sound a little harsh on the Arsenal kids who beat West Bromwich on Tuesday but it’s certainly how I feel ahead of Saturday’s game away to Fulham at Craven Cottage. [...]

Hello, hello. It’s just a quick bit of Arsenal linkage today with a series of interesting bits of news and some excellent articles around the place. Nicklas Bendtner has rather bizarrely changed his shirt number from 26 to 52 for personal reasons. Needless to say, Panda Bear is not happy. In fact, he’s downright pissed [...]

It’s the Ekka Show Day public holiday in Brisbane today (don’t ask me to explain) and that means I was able to enjoy a beautiful bottle of red last night and a little bit of a sleep-in this morning. Excellent. I’ve made the decision to switch the Arsenal FC Weekly podcast from Monday to Tuesday [...]

Hello again and a happy Wednesday to you all. I’ll get straight into things with some comments from Arsene Wenger about the state of his current squad.

Today it’s the attackers. Carlos Vela It’s been a season of good progress for Carlos Vela. Despite having limited opportunities he scored a memorable hat-trick in the Carling Cup [...]
