I’m in a loopy mood after a crazy Sunday of football, so don’t be surprised if that comes across in the rest of the post. Just look at the headline, for goodness sakes. First things first, let’s talk about our game. A 3-1 win against Stoke, our sixth home win in a row and we’re [...]

From beating the champions and the champions-to-be to this

I like to keep things fairly positive around here but I’m pretty frustrated today. Frustrated because the same team which performed so admirably to knock over the Champions-to-be last weekend were so terrible, so out-of-sorts against Stoke on Sunday that it was embarrassing. I would sound like a broken record if I said that our [...]

When Jermaine Pennant lined up his last-minute free-kick last night I was extremely worried. The result seemed to hinge on the result of this moment, our good defending and another league sheet counting for nothing if the ex-Arsenal ex-con slipped his shot into the back of the net. At that moment our early domination seemed [...]

The talking point going into tonight’s game with Stoke are injuries to Robin “157 goals in 5 games” van Persie and Laurent “I win every tackle I attempt” Koscielny. Their exclusion leaves Arsene Wenger with a couple of interesting changes to make. Sebastien Squillaci will undoubtedly continue alongside the returning Johan Djourou, while one of [...]

Detailed review of the Stoke win, including player reviews and Ramsey thoughts

by Andrew Weber on March 2, 2010

On Sunday I posted some brief post-game thoughts on Arsenal’s 3-1 over Stoke. Today, having calmed down with the advantage of two days time, I go into more detail. The game While the strongest memory of this win will no doubt be the injury to Aaron Ramsey, there is a growing feeling that we might [...]

A wonderful discussion about the Ramsey incident

by Andrew Weber on March 1, 2010

Although I had hoped to have a detailed match report of the Stoke win up by now, the truth is that I still haven’t been able to put my thoughts together well enough to come up with something that represents my feelings towards the match. I feel like I still need one more day to [...]

Am I the only Arsenal fan who isn’t scared of Stoke?

by Andrew Weber on February 27, 2010

It’s a huge game for us today at Stoke. Absolutely huge. The Carling Cup final means Manchester United have a week off league action, while Chelsea face a tough lunch-time visit from Manchester City. It’s an opportunity to gain more ground, for sure. What has surprised me are the number of Arsenal fans are extremely [...]
