Match Preview by Alex Baguzin Hi everyone. It’s United away on Sunday and it’s hard not to look at this game as crucial to our hopes of finishing second. As we know, our defeat to Swansea left our fate out of our hands. We now trail second-placed City by 3 points with a game in […]

So… What really happened against Swansea?!
I was fortunate to not have seen this match live. I have, however, heard and read all about it. Statistically, this is Arsenal’s worst result vs. Swansea – further reading shows that we had not lost to Swansea at home since before 1981, back in the Highbury days. So, what happened? It was a […]
Arsenal’s British core – an endangered species, fighting for survival…
by Liam Twomey No one would blame Arséne Wenger for picking the same starting XI that destroyed Hull City in thrilling style a week ago when Swansea City visit the Emirates Stadium on Monday night. Arsenal are the Premier League’s form side, unbeaten in 10 games since losing to Tottenham in early February as they […]
Where does Wilshere fit in the Arsenal team? – Or does he?
My thoughts about Jack Wilshere have often been that he should be a deep-lying playmaker in the mould of Andrea Pirlo, the 2006 World Cup-winning Italian midfielder. Jack has an excellent range of passing and a decent first touch. However, he is usually deployed higher up the pitch with more offensive orders by Arsene Wenger, […]
Liverpool’s English stars make a miraculous recovery!!!
Actual football returns as we take on Liverpool at the Emirates in what is probably the most important game during the run-in. Win, and we open a nine-point gap on the Mugmashers and maintain at least a seven-point one on Spurs and Southampton. However, Liverpool is a dangerous team to play right now, exactly because […]
Arsenal v Liverpool, Man United and Bayern Munich? Sod them we can win it!
“Anything that can go wrong, will.” Afternoon Gooners. Yes, Sod’s law. Thursday served me up a steaming dish of it, with a side order of utter bollocks and a dessert heaped with sprinklings of f**k you. Long story short; one pick-up of old sofa arranged, to be followed by a drop-off of a new sofa. […]
Jurgen Klopp loves Sir Arsene Wenger, but Arsenal love Champions League victories – Borussia Dortmund away
We travel to Dortmund today to play in arguably one of the toughest stadiums to visit in Europe – the Signal Iduna Park or Westfalenstadion depending on your preference. This game will be the pick of the fixtures for many neutrals tonight and promises to be another close fought encounter following Borussia Dortmund’s victory at […]
‘It’s Up For Grabs Now!’ – Arsenal vs Liverpool
After our midweek slump against Chelsea, I can think of teams I’d rather play that Liverpool at the moment. Liverpool are in a good run of form, not dissimilar to us and will want to do everything to keep that momentum going. With two defeats in two games at The Emirates, we can’t afford to […]
Arsenal 4 Norwich City 1 – Clinical Arsenal Show The Magic Touch
Arsenal maintained their fine early season form and went two points clear at the top of the Premier League with a 4-1 win against Norwich City at the Emirates on Saturday. Arsene Wenger made two changes to the side that drew away at West Brom before the International break, with Bacary Sagna and Santi Cazorla […]
Total change in midfield 3 from Arteta, Wilshere and Roscicky to Flamini, Ramsey and Ozil
The Michael Jeffares Column The positivity rumbles on for another week and it’s great to see the side brimming with self belief in every game. That said at the end of the Stoke game it was notable that two of our players sat down on due to pure exhaustion – Giroud and Ramsey. Two players […]
