At the third attempt, Arsenal finally got their first goals and in turn first victory of their Premier League season in an impressive 2-0 victory at Anfield. Opponents Liverpool were desperately poor but the Gunners can take heart from a stylish display full of attacking verve, led by goalscoring new signings Lukas Podolski and the […]
Liverpool 0-0 Arsenal Review
On the eve of Arsenal visiting Liverpool I got changed to go to the bar, and without thinking I put on my Arsenal polo “2-0 Arsenal, It’s up for grabs now!” and head out for drinks. That innocuous act helped Arsenal, I am convinced of that. When I wake up in the morning all I […]
Liverpool v Arsenal preview
So it’s another week with another tricky away trip. Yes, Liverpool are a bunch of thieving scousers. Yes, they sign crap players for stupid amounts of money. Yes, they then loan/sell them for pennies a year later. Yes, they still play Jamie Carragher who lost all footballing ability about 3 seasons ago (but is still […]
The Wenger bus is……….parked
Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal have lit up the Premier League in the past decade with some of the best football ever seen on these shores, but nobody’s jumping inside the Emirates so far this term. With two goalless draws in their first two outings in the Premiership this season, the pressure is on for Wenger and […]

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 […]
