Completing the most awesomest of weekend fixtures not involving Arsenal yesterday, Manchester United's defeat to Swansea means that aside from an all-conquering Moneychester City (I'll come to them in a bit), we pretty much clawed back ground on any of the 'big' clubs that we dropped points to by losing to West Ham on the [...]
It just simply wouldn't be an Arsenal result if we didn't make something harder than it should have been, would it? The overwhelming feeling from this here Gooner is one of relief, but also thanks to other results, the 1-0 victory over Newcastle looked even more juicier come 7.30pm. Defeats to Chelski and Liverpool, as [...]

Ahh match day. Is there a finer thing? I think not. For it brings a sense of hope, of redemption, of anticipation and of a love that you and I know all too well. It's Newcastle versus our beloved Arsenal and it's a match that we quite simply must win. After last Monday's draw with [...]
Winning the Champions League is hard. We've never done it and we're a club who has won almost anything you can win in football, often multiple times, so whilst it's always interesting to see who we'll get in the Group Stages of the Champions League, it didn't really bother me too much. The truth is, [...]
Forget hyperbole of Wayne Rooney being 'back' after he scored a hat trick against an underwhelming Club Brugge yesterday evening, today is all about the Group Stage proper and finding out who we'll see rocking up at the Emirates from Seltember. We're in Pot 2, which means that we'll certainly not face Real Madrid, Porto, [...]
Wellington, wellington, wellington, how about that for a third round Capital One Cup draw for us, eh? The Spuds at their hovel of a ground. Who da thunk it? At least we'll get to see the youngsters on TV...but wait...how many will we actually see? Because you know that these days we have a squad [...]
Not for the first time this season Liverpool were the beneficiaries of yet more dodgy officiating, yet for the first time this season, we were the beneficiaries of a superb Petr Cech display. Which would probably be the story of the game if you asked me to describe it in a paragraph or less. The [...]
With Chelski and City both picking up the wins that I expected they would yesterday, it adds a wee bit more pressure on us to perform this evening against a Liverpool team who will be buoyed by their own results, if not the way in which they played in those games. Liverpool represent a serious [...]
What did we learn from yesterday's games? That plenty of teams will be as to compete with each other, and this season will be a tough one because of the money in the Premier League improving the quality of a lot of squads. Spuds drawing to Leicester, United being frustrated at home, this season is [...]
