Post image for Four reasons to be happy about Arsenal’s draw with Dortmund

There was a lot to be happy about in last night’s 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund. First, the result. A point against arguably the strongest German champions in the last five years in front of their ferocious home support. Absolutely satisfactory in my book. Second, the determination shown. We were on the back foot for [...]

Nasri gone, Udinese looms

Post image for Nasri gone, Udinese looms

Arsenal have agreed a fee, believed to be around £22 million, to sell Samir Nasri to Manchester City. It’s unbelievable to see him go really, considering he only joined the club two seasons ago. He’s an ambitious, confident footballer who knows what he is entitled to and in many ways it will be a shame [...]

It seems strange to say it but tomorrow night’s final group stage game against Partizan Belgrade is the biggest game of our season so far. Lose it and we are most likely on our way out at this stage for the first time in Arsene Wenger’s reign. Even a draw might not be enough if [...]

The biggest point of interest is the absence of Manuel Almunia from the traveling squad. The Spaniard injured his elbow whilst saving the penalty on Saturday and his inability to play against Partizan [...]

Player Ratings: Barcelona v Arsenal

by Aidan Bennison on April 7, 2010

Barcelona 4 (Messi 21, 37, 42, 88) Arsenal 1 (Bendtner 19) Manuel Almunia – Conceded four goals so at the end of the day can’t be rated all that highly. None of them were really his fault but he didn’t step up his game despite the fact that he was playing the best side in [...]

Arsenal 1-4 Barcelona: Beaten by the best but wondering ‘what if?’

by Andrew Weber on April 7, 2010

Is there a more empty and painful feeling in football than thinking about ‘what if?’ when your team has just lost an important game? Our massive ‘what if?’ moment tonight came when the scores were locked at 1-1 and Tomas Rosicky set Nicklas Bendtner away with only the goalkeeper to beat and Theo Walcott in [...]

Arsenal v Barcelona: An epic night of football awaits

by Andrew Weber on April 6, 2010

Had it not been for Nicklas Bendtner’s league-saving goal against Wolves on Saturday I would be feeling very differently about our chances against Barcelona than I do right now. As it is that late goal has kept us in the league and made the Champions League something of a bonus in the grand scheme of [...]
