Gunners Today 13 November @ 06:58 PM EST

Hello all. For a friday post, usually, there'd be a match preview of some sort. There are some good international matches over the next few days.

The Irish take on the French in what I see as even a contest as it is in Rugby. Then there are the equally intriguing Bosnia vs Portugal, Algeria vs Egypt, New Zealand vs Bahrain etc etc.

Stupid = Fletcher

Arsenal View From a Gooner 10 November @ 09:10 AM EST

Denmark's Footballer of The Year

I have always believed that everyone has their advantages and flaws in certain areas that is different from one another. Some can paint, some can sing, some can dance, while others are just plain stupid. Case in point, Darren Fletcher. After the Chelsea game, he was quoted to say that

I think we are starting to see Mr Wenger's comments starting to influence referees which is a shame really.

How To Win Fans, By Mickey Owen

The Offside 20 September @ 12:24 PM EST
What a Manchester Derby. Man United took the lead three times, only to find local rivals Man City come back three times, at least untill the 95th minute, where Michael Owen forever endeared himself to the Man United support by popping up with a last gasp goal. An absolute sucker punch for City, whose spirit [. Click to continue reading...

That's Football

For Girls Who Can't Do Football 12 September @ 01:46 PM EST
Is it just me or are the ManUre becoming increasingly brutal in their efforts not to allow their crown to slip?
It seems that the reduction in their 'pretty' skills since the loss of Ronaldo has resulted in an increase in the use of the likes of Scholes, Fletcher and Vidic to elbow, push and kick their way through the opposition. Click to continue reading...

Manchester United 2 – 1 Arsenal (Somehow)

Seven Sisters Road 11 September @ 10:00 AM EST

Two weeks ago I went to watch Arsenal take on Manchester United at the pub. After two hours of viewing I emerged in one of the most annoyed states I've ever been in after a football game. Somehow, after out playing throughout the majority of the game, Arsenal lost 2-1 to Manchester United.

Can Anderson Be the Key?

EPL Talk 24 August @ 10:47 AM EST

The Midfield Magician

Cast your mind back to May 2009, Manchester United were comprehensively and soundly trounced in Rome by a magical Barcelona side, inspired by Xavi and Iniesta. For many, the lack of quality in the centre of the park was plain to see, Carrick looked lethargic and unsure of himself, Fletcher was missed, this, a surprise in itself.

Fletcher, Alves, and Abidal will all miss the final!

Manutd Blog 11 May @ 03:21 PM EST

Both Manchester United and Barcelona's appeals to overturn suspensions were denied by UEFA on Monday.

In the statement released by Europe‘s governing body it stated "All three players are therefore suspended for one UEFA club competition match and will serve their suspensions when Barcelona FC meet Manchester United FC in the UEFA Champions League final in Rome on 27 May"

Honestly, I am more than happy to give up Fletcher for both Abidal and Daniel Alves.

Cures for the Post-Match Hangover

The Offside: Manchester United 06 May @ 10:00 AM EST

I started to read some bits of news about today's tie between Chelsea and Barcelona, but I just couldn't do it. I felt like I would be cheating on last night's match if I were to just move on to another one. Instead, I've decided to stop playing the field, stay at home, and spend some time better acquainting myself with yesterday's victory.
