Four Won and we didn’t cock it up against McCarthy’s DORITOS

Gunners Today @ 08:18 PM EST

Shortly after Wolves scored their consolation goal, their fans chanted rather ironically "4 nil and you cocked it all up". Or something along those lines. It is good to know they have a sense of humour. Not that the supporters needed to illustrate that for me again.

When Doritos sponsored Wolves (the last time they were in the Premiership back in 2003) my History teacher at the time, a die hard Wolves fan, suggested an acronym for the tortilla chips brand.

Recalling Recent Arsenal Novembers – Good & Bad News

Gunners Today @ 12:47 PM EST

Remember, Remember, blah blah November.

Apart from Bonfire Night and Thanksgiving (for you Americans only) what else makes November stand out? You see, it turns out that Arsene Wenger doesn't like November. Are we going to jump on this revelation and facebook 'like it' ?

The reasons for Wenger's dislike of this month are down to "the volume of games" which make it difficult to maintain the fitness levels.

Fifa party like its 2006 and Arsenal are not invited

Gunners Today @ 03:27 PM EST

I understand that FIFA have other priorities, you know, the small matter of the World Cup in June next year. Surely though, they have a dedicated team that watch as many as matches of clubs from around the globe. Looking at the current list of nominees however, leads me to question whether FIFA has actually watched domestic football since 2006.

Arsenal play their A game to put Alkmaar to Zzzzzzzzz

Gunners Today @ 08:42 PM EST

Arsenal 4 AZ Akmaar 1

Ronald Koeman's freaky run against Arsenal and English teams in general was abruptly brought to an end. It could have been a lot worse had Arsene decided to keep a Fabregas keen to get his hatrick as well as the stand in goal creating machine in Arshavin.

Barely three minutes had gone when a few one touch passes led to Van Persie firing just wide across goal.

Remember Tomas Danilevičius? + Your Arsenal hero of October and Az Preview.

Gunners Today @ 07:21 PM EST

Phew, writing something vaguely interesting (even for me) at this time of the night here is hard enough. Where do I start? I know, I'll start with a Lithuanian most of you have forgotten about.

I was watching (albeit very briefly) Inter at Livorno the other day. It finished 2-0 to Inter btw.

POLL: Who was your Arsenal hero for October 2009?

Gunners Today @ 02:18 PM EST

In other words, your player of that month.

Yes, a couple of names in the list below are intriguing. However this poll is all about the player who made your October special. So if for instance, its Ramsey with his playmaking goodness against Liverpool, then vote for him. You can also add your own suggestions, either in the poll itself and/or leaving a comment.

Spurs trash talk ridiculed in 11 seconds & Why our fans should take a bow

Gunners Today @ 07:00 AM EST

Hello to all of you reading this on a Sunday or Monday or maybe even 3 years time when you are caught reminiscing about this game making it 20 games unbeaten against Spurs.

Like the title says, 11 seconds, that is all it took for Spurs to crumble and fall to the knees (literally when Cesc went past half of the Spurs team for his goal).

suggest your own headline on our NLD win

Gunners Today @ 06:03 PM EST

Match thoughts on our result will follow shortly but here's a unique opportunity? to suggest your own headline on our win. If you suggest I'm devoid of imagination yes this is partially true but I'll tell you where I'm stuck or give you suggestions as a base to get this thing started.

You could focus the headline on.

No better time to get it right, prove them wrong & A couple of personal memories of Spurs fans I’ve met

Gunners Today @ 01:46 PM EST

Hello Gooners. Hope you are all well this friday. Don't know about you but I am super pumped up for this north london Derby. Not that I wasn't pumped for it all these years....

..Living in a place about 200 miles from North london, it used to be pretty hard to develop that aversion for Spurs.

No penalty. A victory for common-sense and persistence? 3 stunning left foot strikes & Ramsey, Nasri, Eastmond impress

Arsenal 2 Liverpool 1 (Carling Cup 4th round)

Hello Gooners. Well that was close as well, just like the previous two games. Where was the 3-1 I predicted? As it turns out we didn't need that third goal.

You won't agree but for me Liverpool probably shaded it by virtue of the opportunities they created.

Kids to play tomorrow? Not quite, an Aquilani revelation of sorts and predictions

Gunners Today @ 06:21 PM EST

Its Carling Cup time! The trophy that no big club wants to win, but if they win it they'll be happy to gloat about it anyway. Visions of Mourinho celebrating back in 2007 when they beat us in the final still make me sick.

Rafa's red revolution received a massive boost when they humiliated Utd on Sunday.

The Goalkeeper conundrum – Who plays the next two games?

Gunners Today @ 07:09 PM EST

....and the few after it? Evening Gooners. I hope you are feeling a lot better 24 hours or so later. My disappointment of our Sunday performance was tangible. So much so that I forgot to talk about the goalkeeping issue. However after applying some bonjela , following yesterday's write up, it is time to discuss this.

Throwing a 2 goal lead wins you nothing, not even the respect of the fans

Gunners Today @ 03:30 PM EST

Hello Gooners. West Ham 2 Arsenal 2 it finished. Excuse the rage I'm feeling right now but I'll try not to be downright acidic in my assessment in London Derby Number 2 against the Hammers.

Complacency, CarltonCole and Choking. 3 C's I said we needed to be wary of against the Hammers.

Complacency and Carlton Cole – 2 of 3 C’s to be wary of vs West Ham – Preview II

Gunners Today @ 05:26 PM EST

The third C-word to consider is choking. Can you have both 'choking' and 'complacency' in one game. I believe you can. Hello, Gooners wherever in the world you are reading this. As promised this is my second preview-ish post to the game against West Ham. Why two posts BEFORE a game? Special games need special focus.
