Three weeks ago a disastrous performance by Lukasz Fabianski allowed FC Porto to come away with a 2-1 first-leg lead against us. Tonight our team must overturn that deficit to book a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League and we will have to do it without Cesc Fabregas. The captain’s hamstring tweak means [...]

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 [...]

For all of the penalty appeals, woodwork hits and disallowed goals – the biggest moment of Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Burnley came when Cesc Fabregas signaled to the bench that he had tweaked his hamstring and could take no further part. He had by a country mile been our best player up until that point, [...]

A very good evening to you all. Things are fairly quiet at the moment and you have to say that’s a good thing. There’s not a lot to say on the blog because the team is traveling well and there’s very little to complain about. Most of the very minimal negative comments to come out [...]

It’s Villarreal in the Champions League tonight and there is a fair bit of excitement buzzing around my body in the build-up to this game. And while the tie can’t be decided tonight a good result in Spain will see us take a big step towards the semi-finals with the second leg to be play [...]

Arsenal 2, Manchester United 1. Fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. A win over Manchester United is always satisfying but for Arsene Wenger and our players to do it in the manner they did on Saturday was wonderful. The result and the performance was as good as an Arsenal supporter could ask for while the game as a [...]
