I write this post with the assumption that the Gunners possibly still end third on the table. If we end fourth, I’m going write something even more scathing this Sunday.
Watching the match last night, I felt like I was watching a team in the S-League. Passes were pathetic, runs were wasteful and finishing was non-existent. [...]

Quick question: One team had a full week’s rest before this game, while the other team played 120 minutes including extra time over the weekend, and got knocked out of the semi-finals of the FA cup. Which team is which? Well let’s just say Arsenal didn’t look like a team who had the weekend without [...]

Once again, Arsenal are out of the Champion’s League, though to be honest, no one can complain about the match tonight. But I think it  has to be said that matches like these show how important it is to be consistent and have some depth in the squad. Arsenal isn’t consistent and doesn’t have the [...]

After six consecutive wins, Arsenal exposes weakness to gift Birmingham with a draw and make the title race that much more difficult.
Weaknesses? Almunia (lucky not to have let in 2 goals), Denilson (must as well not have been playing) and of course, Bendtner (how many times did he touch the ball?). This is what every [...]

If the Ramsey injury at Stoke hadn’t happened, this would have been a classic “team strength” game for the history books.
Denilson scores in the 5th minute (Arsenal scores inside the first 15 minutes for the first time this season) and does nothing else the whole game, Vermaelen gets sent off AND West Ham get a [...]

5:35 am and the Arsenal-Porto match just ended with a final score of 5-0 (to win on aggregate 6-2) to move on to the Last Eight of the Champion’s League.
Before the match all the talk was about Arsenal losing the first leg in Portugal 2-1 and they’ve never won a second leg after losing the [...]

Last night’s match between Stoke and Arsenal is going to be one match I never forget, for the wrong reasons.
I didn’t watch a Birmingham game 2 years ago when Eduardo’s leg got broken in a similar fashion, but when I watched the players’ reactions after the tackle – Thomas Vermaelen sitting on the ground looking [...]

For the first time in the years I’ve been supporting Arsenal, I’m feeling really disappointed in them – more specifically with Arsene Wenger.
There were signs that after 5 years without a trophy this could be it, but in the span of a few games we’ve been knocked out of the FA cup and on a [...]

I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve seen Arsenal at the top of the table or how long they’ll remain there or if they’ll be there when it matters (on the final day of the season) but for now, I’m happy to savour it.
It’s even sweeter when by 28 minutes the Gunners were [...]

First off, I have to say, as an Arsenal fan that hasn’t watched a game in four months, even watching them lose 2-0 on a 13 inch screen with fuzzy players and Portuguese commentary was a joy.
Arsenal came into this game already qualifying for the next round of Champion’s League football, so it was a [...]
