While Tottenham threw Arsenal a lifeline in the Premier League, they still have a sizable mountain to climb on Wednesday when they visit the Allianz Arena in Germany for a match with Bayern Munich. Of course everybody remembers the Gunners last go round with the Bundesliga squad as it resulted in a disappointing 3-1 home [...]
Arsenal Close to Signing Monreal Arsenal have reportedly agreed a fee of £8.5 million with Spanish club Malaga for the purchase of their defender Nacho Monreal. The 26-year-old left-back has left for London and the Gunners are now hoping to get the deal ratified by the FA before the transfer window shuts close later tonight. [...]
Sixth-place Arsenal didn’t lose any ground on Chelsea, Tottenham, and Liverpool on Wed. Jan. 30 with their 2-2 home draw against Liverpool, but they didn’t gain any on them either. However, they did fall a further two points behind fifth-place Everton. It was another game of two very different halves and while the team can [...]
The English Premier League won’t be decided this Sunday Jan. 13, but things will look a lot clearer after Arsenal takes on second-place Manchester City at the Emirates and league leaders Manchester United meet their old foes Liverpool at home at Old Trafford. The Gunners performance this weekend could actually go a long way in [...]
Laudrup Dismisses Arsenal’s Title Chances Swansea City manager Michael Laudrup has discarded Arsenal’s title chances and believes that only the two Manchester clubs and Chelsea are fighting for the Premiership trophy. The Danish trainer is a big fan of coach Arsene Wenger’s work and philosophy but he doesn’t believe that the Gunners have what it [...]
Shawcross Has ‘Cleaned Up His Act’ – Wenger Arsene Wenger has given Ryan Shawcross’ England call-up his blessing and said that the Stoke City defender has “cleaned up his act.” The 25-year-old centre-half is a hate [...]
Diaby: I Am More Toure than Song Abou Diaby has said now that his injury troubles are finally over, he wants to emulate Manchester City’s box-to-box midfielder Yaya Toure. The oft-injured Frenchman started Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Liverpool on Sunday and his marauding performance earned him the man of the match award. Arsene Wenger’s [...]
After watching Arsenal’s performance against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday I was trying to think of a word that best summed up their performance. The word that fit the best for me was cohesive. What I saw on the pitch was a cohesive squad that attacked and defended as a unit. And they did it [...]
Santi Cazorla (Photo: Ronnie Macdonald) Liverpool 0 – 2 Arsenal A determined counter-attacking Arsenal side produced occasional flashes of brilliance to steal three points at Anfield and extend their run of not having conceded a goal this season to three games. The home side dominated early on against [...]
Wenger to Be Patient with Wilshere Arsene Wenger has said that when injured midfielder Jack Wilshere regains full fitness, it will be like a fresh new signing for the club, but has insisted that the England international will not be forced back into action ahead of schedule. Wilshere has been on the sidelines due to [...]
Arsenal kick off their Premier League campaign with a home game against Sunderland. The top flight fixtures are out and the Gunners’ second match of the season will be at Anfield against Liverpool. After a clash against newly-promoted Southampton, Arsene Wenger’s men face a tough spell with Champions Manchester City away and then Chelsea at [...]
It has passed without too much attention that Arsenal’s ‘Invincibles’ of 2003/04 were last week named the best team of the Premier League 20-year awards. A fine achievement considering some strong opposition down the years, but also very much deserved, with the team of Vieira, Pires, Bergkamp and Henry playing possibly the finest football this [...]
I think it would be fair to say if you were to ask most people to people look back at what has set this Premier League season apart from others the answer you’d get would have to be: high-scoring games. For a slightly more pessimistic view: bad defending. It is in the big games where [...]
It is hard to believe but this very day 25 years ago I did something I have never done before. I broke my wrist. But more significant than that I watched Arsenal win a League Cup for the first time since I started supporting the Gunners all those years ago. The two facts are connected. [...]
I almost fell off my stool at the pub Sunday. No, not what you think (this time), but I was all cocky, telling everyone who’d listen (no one did) that interviews after games are too predictable. Much as I love the Arsenal, Arsène’s not one for entertainment off the pitch. Most of the managers are [...]
3rd place has never looked so good, has it? A win at Goodison Park last night continued an excellent recent run of form to move Arsenal above Spurs for the first time this season. Although there were many chances for Arsenal, this will go down as a hard-fought, scrappy 1-0 away victory, with a defender, [...]
It appears to be the same old story with Arsenal… and that’s a good reason for supporters to celebrate and something for the other 19 English Premier League teams to be aware of. There are two familiar story lines with the Gunners. First, you can count on Robin van Persie to find the back of [...]
Arsenal defeated Liverpool 2-1 at Anfield so that’s another three points for the Gunners. We’re closing that gap on Spurs, who are now just four points ahead of us. They do have a game in hand but they play Manchester United tomorrow at their ground so hopefully United can do the business and get the [...]
Recently published articles, some by professional sports journalists and many by amateur bloggers, have theorized, with virtually no supporting data whatsoever, that Robin van Persie is preparing to depart Arsenal for another club (i.e., Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, etc.) If you don’t believe me, just try typing the phrase “Robin van Persie” into the Google search engine, and the [...]
So often the story with Arsenal is now well we played and how unlucky we were to lose. Quite the opposite today as we inflicted a first home defeat of the season on Liverpool. A header from a cross and a volley from a lofted through-ball – not exactly Arsenal-like goals under Arsene Wenger, but [...]
Arsene Wenger has criticised the stubborn attitudes of Belgium and Netherlands’ international coaches after revealing that Robin van Persie and Thomas Vermaelen are doubtful for their Saturday afternoon’s league clash with Liverpool due to their respective injury issues. Van Persie was a part of the Netherlands’ starting eleven in their 3-2 defeat of England in [...]
Sorry, Spurs fans. You’ll have to wait yet another year to attempt a league double over Arsenal, with the Gunners putting their neigbours to the sword with a superb 5-2 fightback at the Emirates Stadium today. The game continued the goal-crazy trend for games between the big sides in the Premier League this season, with [...]
When Arsenal collapse in comical style, such as from 4-0 up to draw 4-4 with Newcastle last season, or conceding a goal seconds after equalising in the 3-2 defeat to Swansea, it feels fashionable to say “only Arsenal could have lost a game like that”. And there’s something to it, to be fair, our defence [...]
Arsenal’s luck went from bad to worse as Liverpool collected their first win at the Emirates when a fluke Aaron Ramsey own goal and a cool slot from Luis Suarez gave them all three points. Liverpool certainly looked the better of the two sides, with cries from the crowd for under pressure Arsenal manager Arsene [...]
