It’s been a busy close-season transfer window for Arsenal. While the acquisitions of Giroud, Podolski and Cazorla have been encouraging, already the window is starting to acquire a tinge of that familiar old feeling: disappointment. WTTGT

Three things we learned from Stoke 0-0 Arsenal

Arsenal defence, immense, hey that rhymes!
The Arsenal defence was immense; let that be your focus. Stoke has become a place Arsenal players and fans do not want to visit. When you see the away fixture on the calendar you cringe. I’ve gone on various blogs, twitter and a my usual podcast with Premier Punditry to say that a draw would […]
STOKE CITY 0-0 ARSENAL: Arsenal misfire again in dour draw
Arsenal misfire again in dour draw For the second week in a row, the Gunners left their shooting boots at London Colney as another goalless draw left Arsenal still seeking their first goal since the departure of Robin Van Persie. A point at the Britannia is certainly not to be sneered at however, with last […]
PREVIEW: Stoke City
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, that bank holiday feeling. Smashing out nine hour days (commute not included) can really take it out of you I’m sure you’ll all agree, and there’s no better feeling than an oncoming weekend of football. We’d better make the most of it before a spectacularly ugly “international break” rears its head, or an “international […]
Why ‘Wenger out’! Simply makes no sense
I have mentioned before that I genuinely feel most fans sit in between the outright parties of ‘Wenger out’ and ‘In Arsene we trust’. Maybe I just feel this way because I sit somewhere between the middle of these two groups, as do those I travel to games with, sit in the pub to watch […]
This is the season for Arsenal, says Gervinho
Gervinho has insisted that Arsenal can end their seven-year long wait for silverware this season. The last time the Gunners picked up a trophy was in 2005 after beating Manchester United in the FA Cup final on penalties. Since then the team has lost in a Champions League final and two League Cup finals. WTTGT
Three things we learned from the weekend
A 0-0 draw with Sunderland is hardly an ideal start to any season, but after the summer’s spending so far, optimism was high ahead off their trip to the Emirates on Saturday. While we didn’t lose, we didn’t win either and are really in need of a morale booster after RvP’s departure. However there are […]
Arteta excited by new boys
Mikel Arteta may have only been an Arsenal player for less than 12 months now, but the Spaniard has already become a favourite among the supporters, player and officials alike. The midfielder was made the new vice-captain following the departure of Robin van Persie to Manchester United and he fully deserves it. WTTGT
Cazorla Sparkles in Bore Draw
ARSENAL 0-0 SUNDERLAND In hindsight, this was probably a thoroughly predictable and obvious result to start off the new season for Arsenal, who failed to fire in their opening Premier League encounter. In searing heat, against a typically tough, deep and bus-parking Martin O’Neil Sunderland team, three days after an International friendly on the opening […]
