As seems to be the same every season, Arsenal are set to embark on a hugely difficult set of fixtures in the coming months. With Liverpool away the first of many challenges coming at Arsene Wenger and his merry men it will be interesting to see how the squad copes. However, for once in what […]
Arsenal’s visit to Anfield on Wednesday kick starts a run of games that will be crucial in determining the strength of Arsenal’s title challenge this season. As I wrote before the FA Cup tie against Sunderland, the destiny of the Premier League title will be decided by Arsenal’s away form given the number of tough […]
. Ranieri at the Lane minutes after his team have conceded a penalty on a controversial decision by the referee “If the referee gives the penalty then it is a penalty” Excellent. Love it.

It was, I think, a thoroughly enjoyable viewing for the neutrals and even Arsenal fans might have relaxed a little bit in the latter stages, after the Gunners went 2 up. Let’s shoot straight to the points of interest then. Team […]
Howdy. We start our FA Cup defense on Saturday by hosting Sunderland in the 3rd round. Once again we play a Premier League side, having played Hull City last year and Spurs before that – in fact, I don’t remember when was the last time we played a lower-league opposition in the 3rd round, but […]
