Chelsea v Manchester United Preview

Premiership Talk Blog 07 November @ 05:14 PM EST

On Sunday Manchester United will walk into the Stamford Bridge pitch in unusual fashion. They will be the underdogs.

By all accounts, Chelsea simply look the stronger side. After trashing Bolton Wanderers 4-0 last weekend and earning a 2-2 Champions League draw against Atletico Madrid, Chelsea's in-form striker Didier Drogba will be looking to punish a Manchester United defense that will be without Rio Ferdinand.

Wolves 1-Arsenal 4

The Offside - Arsenal 07 November @ 03:35 PM EST

Or should I saw Wolves 3-Arsenal 2? We come away with 3 points on a scoreline which flatters us a little bit, on the back of 2 early Wolves own goals which put us up 2-0, a vantage point from which we never looked back.

Wolves strategy was pretty obvious, and wasn't a bad one as far as these things go.

Gooner Talk 07 November @ 11:41 AM EST


Aaron Ramsey has been rewarded for his superb Carling Cup performance against Liverpool — by being handed a start against Wolves this evening.

Best Fantasy Team Name Ever of the Week

Never Captain Nicky Butt 06 November @ 12:39 PM EST
Can I get an Amen?
This week's winner is: The Holy Babel.
I don't know if you guys have noticed this yet, but I really REALLY like name puns. And I think there is a serious lack of clever names in the official game. Too many teams are named some form of: FC My Town or Gunners Rule6969. Click to continue reading...

These two clubs have passed off the honor of being the Premier League's best week by week and this week seems to be the match where we will find out which team truly is the better squad.

Weekend TV Preview: 6 - 8 November 2009

Some People are On The Pitch 06 November @ 05:55 AM EST
Friday 6th November
19:30 Leverkusen v Frankfurt, Bundesliga, ESPN
Leverkusen find themselves one point ahead at the top of the Bundesliga, but they've only beaten Frankfurt once in their last six meetings. Normally stingy in defence, they conceded two goals late on last week against Schalke, so the potential for a further wobble here is considerable. Click to continue reading...

WIN! Free lager up for grabs for Gooners

Arsenal Insider 06 November @ 05:29 AM EST
by CARL ELDRIDGE Arsenal face Manchester City in the quarter final of the Carling Cup next month and Gooners everywhere are praying Arsene Wenger's Young Guns can overcome Mark Hughes' side, complete with Emmanuel Adebayor and Kolo Toure. Robin van Persie has already stated he'd love to play against City and his reasons no doubt refer to the incident in the 4-2 Premier League defeat in which Adebayor kicked RVP in the face.

Goonerlicious football?

SoccerLens 06 November @ 04:57 AM EST

Eduardo's back heel onto Arshavin, who runs and takes the ball and finds the pass to Diaby, who sets himself up and scores.

That my friends was the goal of the night and the fourth for Arsenal against AZ Alkmaar. The football recently played by Arsenal is nothing short of phenomenal, offensively of course.

Arsenal unravel unparalleled attacking depth with win over AZ

The Arsenal Column 05 November @ 10:01 AM EST

Arsenal attacked AZ Alkmaar with speed and purpose to all but seal their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League.
______________________________________________________________________________

Whisper it quietly but this may be the real deal. Arsenal's speed and incision cut apart Dutch champions AZ Alkmaar but the win received as little as a whimper of attention across Europe.

Should Arsenal sell Clichy?

SoccerLens 05 November @ 08:31 AM EST

The news that Gael Clichy is out for up to two months is unfortunate and may harm Arsenal's trophy ambitions. When he first started his career at Arsenal, he was very injury prone, with continuous operations on his broken metatarsals. He always seems to get injured at an awkward time for The Gunners, and will return in the New Year.

Gunner gangsters shoot ‘em up…

Arsenal Insider 05 November @ 08:30 AM EST

by JAMES CURTIS Ronald Koeman and his trusted staff accommodated the away dug-out last night wearing long black trench coats, black ties and matching leather gloves. As Arsenal pounded the Alkmaar goal one of his grey-haired men scribbled notes into small black book. It was like watching a scene from The Untouchables.

Arsenal put four past AZ Alkmaar

Arsenal Brunei Blog 04 November @ 06:55 PM EST
Free-scoring Arsenal continued their dominance of Champions League Group H with a stunning 4-1 drubbing of AZ Alkmaar on Wednesday night.
The Gunners are in top spot and unbeaten in their group, and proved far too classy for the Dutch visitors at The Emirates, where skipper Cesc Fabregas bagged a brace and was joined on the scoresheet by Samir Nasri and Abou Diaby, who netted a sublime fourth of the night on 72 minutes after some flowing build-up play from Eduardo and Andrey Arshavin.

Rockin’ Robin Reminiscent of Raul?

SoccerLens 04 November @ 01:53 PM EST

When Robin Van Persie scored Arsenal's third in the North London derby against Spurs, it prompted me to draw comparisons with the Real Madrid legend Raul. He has scored seven goals in the league and been given the role of the top of the Gunners attack. He has previously been compared to Dennis Bergkamp who was a genius at linking up attacks with the rest of his teammates.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur are 12 years behind the Gunners.
Despite making a strong start to the season, with Spurs winning their opening four league games, defeats to Manchester United (3-1), Chelsea (3-0) and Arsenal (3-0) have highlighted that the White Hart Lane side still have their work cut if they are to establish themselves at the top end of the Premier League table.

Soffo The Greek belled me last Wednesday with an invite of a freebie at The Emirates to watch Arsenal V Liverpool.
