Just as I thought another painful blow was about to take place with a goalless draw against Pompey,
David James provided us with a late Christmas gift which Gallas didn't turn down to hand us a very
important win. As Wenger said, there are indeed internal solutions The thoughts of many, including
myself, is that despite the [.

A quick note from Butt's Brain as I watch the Arsenal - Wigan match live. I haven't watched Wigan
in quite some time but Ryan Taylor (4.2M) looks very lively today and has provided
superb delivery from free kicks and corners for Wigan.
As we've mentioned in the past, Wigan defenders (Figueroa/Melchiot) should only be considered as
bench options, but Taylor is playing in an advanced midfield role today.
Yesterday's win against Wigan was one of our rare back-to-back wins this season and consolidates
our position in the top four of the English Premiership. Yet, the press gave a lot of importance to
Eboue and the boos of the crowd which were heard during his substitution as if even after a win we
should [.
The rollercoaster of emotions which the Arsenal made us go through this season seems to have
reached its final destination. After wins over Manchester United and Chelsea which gave us that
glimpse of hope which we so much needed, here comes Howard Webb and his mistakes to shatter all our
dreams and the possibility to [.
There's no need to aspire for a football coach career to understand it when changes should be made.
Luckily for us, it only took Arsene Wenger 66 minutes to open his eyes and realise that Carlos Vela
was needed. Usually, he needs 89 to realise that. The second half was more lively than the first
but [.
Morning all. It seems people still want to talk about what happened with Emmanuel Eboue in the
match Saturday, and since there isn't much else to write about today, that's what we'll continue
with. I said yesterday that paying fans should be allowed to boo if they want, and when a player
plays terribly and/or doesn't show effort, then why should he not be booed?
Middlesbrough v Arsenal Full Article Boro defenders Robert Huth and Chris Riggott could return to
the side after injury, David Wheater is suspended. Gary O'Neil and Mido (hamstring) will miss out,
while Justin Hoyte and Andrew Taylor (knee) are doubtful. Arsenal need to improve to save season,
says Mikael Silvestre Full Article Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre has warned his [.
Having just seen Aston Villa grabbing a lucky win away at West Ham, our position has never been so
critical this season. The worst scenario is of course two consecutive defeats which would kill our
title hopes and put us far from that fourth, Champions League spot. But, having defeated Manchester
United and Chelsea, there's [.
Arsene Wenger blames Ryan Babel dive for Arsenal's tumble last season Full Article Arsene Wenger
fuelled the tension surrounding Liverpool's visit to the Emirates Stadium by claiming that the
disappointing end to Arsenal's season last year was ushered in by a dive by Ryan Babel in the
Champions League quarter-final at Anfield.

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor was left fuming following yesterday's two yellow cards, blasting
Liverpool defender Alvaro Arbeloa for unfair behaviour: I cannot say he [Arbeloa] cheated, but what
he did was not fair play at all. The defender threw himself on the floor as if I put a knife in
him. I don't think I deserved a [.
Just one month ago, Sir Alex Ferguson warned Arsenal that they are no longer top four material.
Days later, we went at Stamford Bridge and defeated Chelsea. Yet, we are now behind Aston Villa and
a defeat would see us fall even further behind them, so, knowing that the three matches after
tomorrow's will all [.
For yet another time this season, here we are, trying to figure out how come the squad's display
has been so poor. Well, Wenger got it all wrong, yet again, and we're not on the losing side for
the sixth time this season only thanks to a big stroke of luck. As soon as Villa [...]
In a poor half with only two goal opportunities, one at each side of the pitch, some questions are
to be raised, especially on the Arsenal side. Arsene Wenger opted to rest Robin van Persie and go
for a more strong-in-the-air forward line with Nicklas Bendtner supporting Adebayor, back from
suspension.
Not the same old Arsenal Full Article Phil Thompson watched them return to winning ways with a
familiar 1-0 success, but felt it was anything but the same old Arsenal. Arsene Wenger's
out-of-sorts side moved back into third in the Premier League thanks to a William Gallas header
nine minutes from time.
There was something funny about Mike Dein as I read his name for yesterday's match. I
google-searched his face as I don't know the referees that well and after finding him, something
inside told me that he would have to make important decisions and they wouldn't go against us. It
turned out he did make [.

Adebayor eases Arsenal's nerves Full Article LONDON (AFP) — Arsenal survived a jittery finale
to claim a valuable 1-0 victory over Wigan at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. The Gunners
appeared set for a comfortable afternoon after Emmanuel Adebayor fired them into an early lead, but
Arsene Wenger's side missed a string of chances and their nerves [.

A month or so ago I was trying to understand the reason why we had such a pathetic start to the
season. One of the reasons I highlighted as a possible cause is that we're not strong enough,
theory which back then I didn't consider as possible. I was wrong. I won't go into detail about the
[...]
Wenger vows to keep fighting Full Article Arsene Wenger refused to accept defeat in the title race
following Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough. The result leaves the Gunners seven points adrift
of leaders Liverpool and six behind Chelsea, while they are likely to lose further ground before
the end of the weekend.
Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger believes captain Cesc Fabregas could be out for up to three weeks as he
said: It's a medial knee ligament injury, (but) I don't know how long he will be out. It's
difficult to assess - it could be one week or three weeks. Of course it is a blow, you don't [...]
Aston Villa draws 2-2 with Arsenal Full Article BIRMINGHAM, England: Defender Zat Knight scored in
injury time to earn Aston Villa a 2-2 draw in the English Premier League with Arsenal, its nearest
challenger for a Champions League place on Friday. Denilson and Abou Diaby looked to have sealed
victory for the Gunners as they led 2-0 by [.
Van Persie double sees Arsenal beat Chelsea Full Article (CNN) Arsenal threw the English title race
wide open with a 2-1 victory over leaders Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Chelsea led through
a Johan Djourou own goal at halftime, but two goals by Dutch international Robin Van Persie in
three minutes gave Arsenal a [.

With the Arsenal supporters divided after the Champions League match against Porto, with some
believing Arsene did well to rest some players whilst others believe he should have fought for
first place, it's now time to focus back on the Premiership and a tricky away match against
Middlesbrough. Straight away, this is what our coach [.
Again I only miss one from my predicted line-up. I wish I didn't: it's Diaby and not Carlos Vela
and it's a shame considering Abou's display on Wednesday. Sagna, Cesc, Clichy and the front two all
make comebacks after the needed rest in mid-week. Middlesbrough Turnbull, McMahon, Riggott, Huth,
Pogatetz, Johnson, Digard, Arca, Downing, Sanli, Aliadiere.
Being happy with a draw at half-time against the team which is 10 points behind in the table is not
a nice feeling. We made Hull City look like heroes, Stoke City look like warriors and now we're
allowing Boro to look like a top team. The half started with the home side putting a lot [...]
Un auténtico espectáculo es lo que pudieron vivir los que asistieron al estadio de
Anfield Road en el día de hoy, al menos en lo que se refiere a la primera mitad del partido.
El líder, el Liverpool, se enfrentaba al equipo revelación de esta temporada en
Inglaterra, el Hull City. Los visitantes no se achantaron [.

It's now-or-never time again at the Emirates and this time it's league leaders Liverpool who pay us
a visit as we hope to keep our title hopes alive. Arsene Wenger welcomes Nasri back, who is the
only change from last week's Boro starting line-up. Arsenal Almunia, Sagna, Djourou, Gallas,
Clichy, Denilson, Fabregas, Song Billong, Nasri, Adebayor, Van [.
We were definitely the better side in these first 45 minutes but unfortunately, the score doesn't
reflect that. With the back four keeping a very high line and adopting the offside trap policy more
than once, we were punished from such policy as we go in the dressing rooms with the score tied one
all [.
