Chelsea losing to Inter - bad news or good news for Arsenal's title challenge?

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:08:54 GMT

Let me be upfront with anyone who might be reading this. I've never been exactly a Chelsea-hater. They're not traditional local rivals of Arsenal in the way that Spurs are. Maybe that's why I'm not

The Premier League run-ins compared: Arsenal, Chelsea & Man Utd - who will clinch it?

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 12:23:26 GMT

The Arsenal run-in: West Ham (h) 2-1 (narrow victory in a London 'derby'. As usual, no clean sheet) 67pts Brum (a) 2-1 (perhaps we can erase the Eduardo memories this time with a Dudo brace... not a

Let's hope Tubby Tom Huddlestone plays against Arsenal on April 10th!

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:36:42 GMT

Tubby Tom Huddlestone getting a new deal at Spurs until 2015 just sums up why Spurs will probably never make a top 4 spot their own in the forseeable future. I'm not saying they haven't got decent

Arsenal make Tango go red - could it be the end for Cloggers-R-Us?

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:33:30 GMT

Who would have believed it? Phil 'Tango' Brown goes red as he gets sacked by Hull City. Good riddance. I can never forgive him and Brian Horton for accusing Cesc Fabregas of spitting...when all Cesc

Arsenal's Theo takes a step nearer the World Cup finals in South Africa

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:49:09 GMT

Chris Waddle may not like him but Theo Walcott will be on that plane with the England squad, if he steers clear of injury. Why? David Beckham's Achilles heel snapped at the weekend, so there's ano

Arsenal's Nasri ain't too Cescy away in the Premiership

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:34:10 GMT

The conclusion after the narrow victory at Hull City has to be Samir Nasri might be able to do in Europe against the likes of Porto, but when it's a dodgy pitch and tackles flying in knee-high up no

Nasri shows his Cescy side

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:21:00 GMT

Samir Nasri has always been a class act. But did anybody know how Cescy he can play? His mazy run and third goal apart, Nasri still managed to run the show with his passing and movement. He tac

Let's hope Wenger's decision not to practise penalties doesn't backfire on Arsenal

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:24:30 GMT

I'm amazed that Arsene Wenger doesn't believe practising penalties just before a finely-poised European tie (like tonight's game against Porto) can be beneficial. At least Wenger explained his pos

Waddle's anti-Arsenal dig at Theo - part 2

Tue, 09 Mar 2010 16:47:18 GMT

The Mail Online today have published the latest Chris Waddle diatribe against Theo Walcott. I don't what Theo did to Waddle, I can only guess. Maybe the ex-Spurs winger suffers from blurred vision

The Evening Standard used to be an Arsenal paper - whatever happened?

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 12:34:38 GMT

I remember the good old days when Steve Stammers used to report for the Evening Standard. I wouldn't say I agreed with everything he wrote, but he was a good journalist and seemed to have a soft spot

Jealous ex-Spurs winger criticises Arsenal forward...again

Thu, 04 Mar 2010 12:31:04 GMT

Ex-Spurs winger Chris Waddle was never blessed with speed. Theo Walcott, meanwhile, has pace to burn. Waddle may have had an illustrious career, but he'll probably never forgive Arsenal for denying

Do Chelsea or Arsenal have London's top clown keeper?

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 16:29:50 GMT

If you're only as good as your last game, I'd rate the three keepers as follows: 1) Almunia - let in a soft goal against Stoke and didn't dominate the area. 2) Hilario - was laughable against Ma

Merry Fistmas Mr. Lawrence to Arsenal's Rambo

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 15:18:32 GMT

Crystal Palace defender Matt Lawrence has probably been knocked about at some time in his life, as evidenced by his lack of teeth, so surely he should be a good position to comment on Ryan Shawcross's

Ryan Shawcross should be banned for as long as Ramsey is out for

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:50:30 GMT

Ryan Shawcross is decent footballer and probably a decent person as well, judgling by his tearful reaction. However, his tackle on Aaron Ramsey was reckless. If the authorities really want to clamp do

Will Cesc continue at Arsenal & risk injury in the thuggish Premier League?

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:36:40 GMT

Cesc Fabregas's reaction after Aaron Ramsey's injury spoke volumes. He fought back the tears and kept his concentration to despatch a penalty a bit later against Stoke to put Arsenal in front. He dedi

Arsenal's laughable goalkeepers are too Hilario for Premier League challenge to be taken seriously!

Mon, 01 Mar 2010 11:59:45 GMT

How close are Arsenal to lifting the Premier League this season? Not very close in my opinion, as the squad is not strong enough...especially in the goalkeeping department. Look at how Chelsea have

Arsenal should boot out Pole prancer

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:51:07 GMT

He might only be 24...young for a keeper...maybe too young to be judged...but he's costing us big time...ain't it time we loaned out Fabianski the Pole prancer or booted him out altogether? Fabianski

Arsenal keeper jeepers!

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 15:09:25 GMT

Why doesn't Wenger realise the current crop of keepers at Arsenal are not good enough. Mannone's man-of-the-match performance at Fulham aside, there have been few good moments for our clowns between t

Back on Song...and not just because of Song either!

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 14:45:06 GMT

After the criticism of the team following the victory at Fulham (yes, I said 'victory') it was gratifying to see the Arsenal put on a five star performance against Olympiacos at the Emirates. Arshavi
