Nine long years. Nine years of close shaves. Nine years of shooting ourselves in the foot. Nine years of questioning the team’s belief. It ended early this morning and it ended with silverware. Arsenal hoisted the 2014 FA Cup at the Wembley after 120 minutes of heart stopping, hair tearing and nerve wrecking action. Football, …

Arsenal took another 3 points on the road as the race for CL spots look to go down to the wire. Prior to this win, QPR had drawn thrice and beaten Arsenal twice in Premier League history at Loftus Road. Even though QPR had already been relegated, Reading (also relegated) showed that such teams should …
Arsenal fans will be grateful for the 3 points. It was a terrible performance in which the team decided to completely shut off in the final 15 minutes. Before that, the Gunners did very little to penetrate a packed Fulham defence. Fulham played with 10 man for over 78 minutes having Sidwell sent off in the 12th …
Arsenal notched their seventh win in eight games with a 3-1 home victory under controversial conditions. The team played poorly for most of the game before being stung into action as Norwich scored with their first shot on target. The scrappy match saw 3 of the 4 goals marred by controversy which I will dig …
Arsenal picked up where they left off and dominated Reading from start to end. A combination of last ditch defending and some poor final touches meant that the scoreline of 4-1 was rather kind to Reading. There was concern that the interlull would slow the momentum that the Gunners had but that was put to …
How often have we played Swansea this season already? Too many. Arsenal finished a professional 2-0 win erasing painful memories of a 2-0 reverse at home. The game was well balanced with Swansea playing solid possessive football that the Gunners could not match at times. However, the Arsenal made it count when it mattered with …
Arsenal ended a poor week with something to smile in a last ditch 2-1 win at home against Villa. We dominated and had 26 shots with 7 on target together with 64% of the possession. How did it become a last ditch win? It does when you are Arsenal of course. First Half …
Arsenal produced a toothless display and were rightly shown the door against Blackburn at home. There was no drive, no urgency and no determination to put the game to bed. Wenger had a huge hand in it as well as he made sweeping changes to the team and played a side that didn’t have much experience together. …
One nil to the Arsenal and that was a fair result in the end. The Gunners dominated the first half and should have been up by 3 before the half time break. The game quickly turned in the second half with Jenkinson’s sending off but the team manned up and soaked up the pressure to …
A much needed 1-0 victory at home was sealed by Poldolski’s late freekick. Arsenal dominated the game from start to end but was unable to find a breakthrough until a tactical switch was made. Wenger, often criticized for being rigid with his tactics, should be given some praise for getting his strategy right today. The team had to face …

Matching a convincing 3-1 win at Upton Park last year, West Ham were hit for five as Arsenal ran out 5-1 winners in a long awaited convincing performance. The reverse fixture this season was the last of a series of good performances from the Arsenal team. After that game, we went for an international break, …
The 3rd round FA Cup tie saw Arsenal draw 2-2 with Swansea. In a match that was close to being similar to the Southampton game, the Gunners were flat and uninspired, creating few meaningful chances and wasting possession. Swansea fought hard, resting some key players as Wenger chose a curious tactical line up for the …
