An excellent three-points at the Reebok against a team that used to intimidate us, and who managed to put us on the back foot in the early stages of the game.
Despite opening brightly, and comprehensively out-passing Bolton, they took the lead through a goal which, again, asked questions of our ability to defend from set-pieces.

Dynamo 1-1 Arsenal

Having let it settle a bit, I thought it appropriate to revisit what happened in Kiev yesterday. A definite winneable game was blown thanks to some poor finishing. It isn't really much more than that. The penalty awarded to Kiev was without doubt a dodgy decision. A first glance at it and it look like Sagna tackled Ognjen Vukojevic in the box.

Arsenal, and especially Arsene Wenger, continue with their quest to win the UEFA Champions League and prove themselves as being one of the best teams in Europe. They qualified with ease against Twente, winning 6-0 on aggregate, and they will feel confident they can come out of this group and earn a place in the [.

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has refused to fly with the Togo national team for their World Cup qualifier against Zambia after hearing rumours that the plane they were travelling on was going to crash. Adebayor, who has previously rowed with the Togo FA over bonus payments, caused further controversy when he delayed the flight by 24 [.

Having just barely missed out on the European Transfer Window which closed just yesterday, the likes of Christiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres, Benzema, Adebayor, Dani Alves, Samuel Eto, Didier Drogba, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are all locked up for the year.

Anelka is not good enough

I have never been a fan of Nicolas Anelka so I know I am totally biased against him. Actually, that isn't totally true, when he was a teenager at Arsenal I was as impressed with him as was everybody else. It is since he left Arsenal that he has been such a disappointment. Watching Chelsea play against Manchester United on Sunday, I couldn't help but feel that Anelka looked totally out of place.

Yes, it's hardly something to get overly excited about (although I love this kind of enthusiasm). But good times call for celebration, even through just five games of the season, as Arsenal sits on top, one point ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool. The biggest point of triumph is the elimination of the dropped points at Fulham.

To say this was a bad day at the office, will be a lie and letting the players off lightly.  This was a disaster with too many players under performing and Wenger making a couple of mistakes. Wenger resorted to Adebayor and van Persie up front, that was a mistake, neither was on the ball all [...]

Adebayor's agent has been hawking his client off to other clubs ever since Adebayor started scoring goals on a regular basis for Arsenal (the first claims I remember are from spring 2007). There were noises in summer 2007 but nothing came out of because none of the big clubs were interested, but by summer 2008 [.

Emmanual Adebayor is an idiot to say the least, no justification needed I don't think. The latest in his expanding annual of brain-meltingly banal comments came yesterday when for some reason he got a ‘feeling' his plane would crash, and subsequently refused to get on it with the rest of the Togo team bound for Zambia.

Arsene Wenger's first ever game in charge of Arsenal was a 2-0 win against Blackburn at Ewood Park; the same scoreline would be welcomed with opened arms if it was to occur tomorrow. Blackburn have registered one league win in five seasons against the Gunners side, and lost eight of the 10 fixtures.

Walcott helps Arsenal blank Blackburn

Arsenal made the return up north to face a team that has posed so many problems in the past. But this was an Arsenal team that had an ascendant Theo Walcott brimming with confidence and newly found decision making skills. You could see it in the way he asserted himself in the match.

Blackburn was at the receiving end with Walcott laying down a crisp pass to the flying Dutchman who had the honour of notching up Arsenal's first strike.

Another weekend saw another good result. Hard to find a lot of things to complain about after taking down Blackburn, thanks to Theo, Adebayor, and RvP - among others. Nice to see Walcott remain fairly grounded after his hat trick against Croatia. His mazy run set up van Persie's goal, while Adebayor netted a treble.

Should have won, could have lost but Arsenal save a point

Arsene Wenger felt a draw would be a good result against Kiev and given the circumstances I suppose it was.

A last-gasp equaliser from William Gallas salvaged a point but in truth we should have won that game. We had the chances in the first half to have made life much more comfortable for ourselves but failed to take them.

Well, it's top of the league for Arsenal with a 3-1 win over Bolton.

Games up there are rarely dull and yesterday was no exception. We started brightly but found ourselves a goal behind early on as our central defensive weakness was exposed again. From a corner William Gallas stood watching as Kevin Davies ran off him, leaving Kolo Toure with two men to mark, and the Bolton man got to the ball first to head his side in the lead.

Welcome back fellow Gooners, it has been a while but now I am ready to give you news and post match analysis of Arsenal's fixtures. I would like to start off with a personal boast, saying that this summer I managed to meet the French National team during their visit to play Sweden in a friendly. As you know, many of our present and former players are in the French squad.

Now, the fantasy slave is really back. Cristiano returned to the starting lineup today in third round Carling Cup action and scored a typical Cristiano-like goal, rising above two defenders in traffic and sending a powerful header into the back of the net.  After today's performance, it's only a matter of time before the 8% owned Ronaldo skyrockets to 25 or 30 percent ownership amongst star-struck fantasy premier league managers.

Knee-jerk reactions to defeats like Saturday's are normal but it was easy to see where he was coming from.
