The main story thus far in the World Cup isn’t all the wackiness going on with the French and England squads or the vuvuzela’s. Not by a long shot. The main story of this tournament is and will continue to be the refereeing. Every match seems to have at least one major gaffe, an entire [...]

American President John F. Kennedy once famously said: “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” If you’re the French national team, your response to that clarion call is: “We can do very little”. France took one on the chin on Match Day 7 as Mexico [...]

Apologies for the delay in getting this posted. Andy & I had a bit of a publishing mix-up. Got it sorted & updates will be more timely going forward. ***** The history! The pageantry! The anticipation! The crazy, vuvuzela-playing fans! Sepp Blatter telling everyone we’re in South Africa! Yes, the World Cup is upon us. [...]

It’s Blackburn on Monday night in the second last game of the Premier League season. We need a point in our last two games to guarantee third place. We’ll hear the team news over the next day or so but in my opinion if Alex Song is present in the starting team then we will [...]

The final round of World Cup qualifiers concluded yesterday evening and it was a mixed night for the Arsenal players on display. William Gallas helped France qualify by scoring the decisive goal in their 1-1 extra-time draw with Ireland, heading home from one yard out in characteristic fashion after ex-Arsenal captain Thierry Henry’s clear handball.

A quick International Break round-up before I head off to a birthday breakfast with my family. Robin van Persie was stretchered off after 11 minutes of Holland’s game against Italy with an ankle injury. Dutch TV reported he will be out for 2-3 months after tearing ankle ligaments. It’s awful news for both van Persie [...]

I’ll kick things off today with the news that another Arsenal target has bitten the dust – well, supposed target anyway – with Lyon agreeing a transfer fee with Real Madrid for Karim Benzema.

Greetings from a very sunny Brisbane. After a weekend of drizzly rain the sun is out and it’s a glorious sight. Still a bit chilly though, for our standards, and that means I’m rugged up on the couch as I write this. Before I move onto today’s Arsenal news I want to clarify a couple [...]

Hello there. Apologies for the lateness of this post. If I had a good excuse I’d give it to you, but the truth is that I was having some drinks with Morgana Clarke. That’s right, the same Morgana Clarke that so badly cursed our team during their 0-0 period of last season. Please forgive me. [...]

Today is the second in a series of posts reviewing Arsenal’s 2008/09 season. Yesterday I reviewed the performances of our goalkeepers over the course of the season and up for scrutiny today is the Arsenal defence. Unlike yesterday’s post which looked individually at the performances of Manuel Almunia and Lukasz Fabianski, this article is more [...]

Our team takes a 1-0 first-leg lead with them to Rome, safe in the knowledge that a clean sheet will see them through while a goal would leave their Italian opponents needing to score three. In this pre-preview of Arsenal’s [...]

There have been numerous suggestions made about Arsenal’s inability to put the ball in the back of the net of late. But today I’m here to tell you that they’re all wrong. Every single one of them. It has nothing to do with the effort our players are putting in. Nothing to do with the lack [...]
