Where do I begin? What do I talk about? Ozil’s touches, gliding, passes? Theo’s reverse pass for Monreal? Sanchez’s screamer? The chuffed expression on Mertesacker’s face after his goal? Coquelin not putting…no…our defensive unit not putting a foot wrong? Santi being Santi? It was SUCH a commanding performance it was a little underwhelming! Unless you’re […]
Now THAT Is How You Play A Cup Final! – The complete team performance
Arsenal were brilliant yesterday, smashing Aston Villa 4-0 at Wembley in the F.A. Cup Final. Arsenal are now the 4th team in the history of the F.A.

Theo’s pace in attack brings back vintage Arsenal
After some very frustrating matches this month against the likes of Swansea and Sunderland where we couldn’t break either sides down Theo’s recent inclusion has been very refreshing.

Walcott, Rosicky and Wilshere in with Giroud, Cazorla and Ramsey out for final?
Having followed Arsenal since the late 1990s, I have seen a lot of success come our way. I was fortunate enough to see many of Arsenal’s top players of the day on TV playing and winning important fixtures in that time, like Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Adams, Marc Overmars, Ray Parlour, Patrick Vieira… the list goes […]
