After 2 weeks wait our team failed us, what went wrong? I don't really know, a slight attitude
problem I would guess. We need more desire to win. We need to believe..
If we still need to find a scapegoat we cannot for a change point the finger at our favourite
villains Diaby, Eboue or Bendtner.
If there was any consolation, this was the first time this season we had really deserved to lose:
both the defeats to United and City were particularly galling because we were the better team. Credit Sunderland. While their performance wasn't out of this world, they did what they had to do. Click to continue reading...
By 1970's GoonerIt was difficult enough to start with Eduardo as the front man in a 4 3 3 formation
but the wide players, Rosicky and Nasri were also not up to it today. Add to that the fact that
Fabregas was played in the deeper midfield role and Ramsey the more forward and you have a team
that was in my mind unbalanced. Click to continue reading...
Manchester City and Liverpool drew 2 - 2 this morning. Blog buddy Yossi Benayoun's equalizer
secured the draw. Benayoun had just flown back at 3:00AM from Serbia, after receiving extensive
horse placenta massages on his hamstring. No word on if he ate hay for breakfast. Neither team
looked deserving of a win, though City's play improved after the introduction of Carlos Tevez in
the second half.
2002 yazının başında tüm okul ahalisi toplanmış Fransa-Senegal maçını izlemiştik.
Maçtan önce Henry ve Zidane hayranı, o kupada Fransa'yı destekleyeceğini söyleyen çok
arkadaş vardı okulda. Lakin maç başladıktan ve Senegal'in mücadelesini ve karşılık olarak
Fransızların kendilerine has kibirlerinin sahaya yansıdığını görünce maçı izleyen
güruhun tamamında ibre Senegal'e kaymıştı. Click to continue reading...

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Samir Nasri will not replace Alex Song in a defensive midfield role
in the New Year. Song will be lost to the Gunners due to Cameroon's African Nations Cup campaign. But on Nasri, Wenger told arsenal.com: "No, [he is not a replacement]. "I do not say that he could not, Samir is very tactically astute, but he is attracted forwards. Click to continue reading...
Well, I would be if I were one of those players having to play tonight and some nutter came
sliding in towards me with a hard tackle in mind! We cannot afford any more injuries and the loss
of any of the players mentioned below would be just awful. It doesn't even bare thinking about!
Even Sir Bobby Pires is concerned for us, but still believes we have enough strength and depth
to get through this tough time.
With RVP unavailable for a while, predictably, the consensus is that Eduardo will take the baton
from the Dutchman. However, the way the media has chosen to focus on Eduardo is almost as if the
guy has next to zero credibility compared to Robin.
Admittedly, the Croatian hasn't been at his best (considering he is 26, I suppose we should wait
another year at least for that).
Desperate times call for desperate measures it seems; van Persie is going to have placenta
rubbed on his ankle by a Serbian witch doctor in a bid to recover from injury just that little bit
quicker if you didn't already know, he is out for 6 weeks with a bollocksed ligament. Maybe its the
baby particles in the placenta that invade his ankle and make everything hunky-dory again.
This is Samir Nasri's girlfriend in case you were wondering. She is of course Tatiana Golovin
the French tennis player who recently appeared in some steamy Sports Illustrated shots which we
think are rather tastily put together.

This is what happen last time we have Wolves in the EPL
Arsenal visit Molineux Stadium tonight and it's a good oppourtunity to continue the good run
that we are currently going through. This is no walk in the park for Arsenal as both Fulham and
Aston Villa have came and gone home with only a point.
France's do-or-die match against Ireland is just around the corner, with the first match taking
place on November 14th in Ireland and the second taking place on the 18th at the Stade de France
(boo...). I don't know about you guys, but I'll be praying extra hard that France don't screw up
against a tough Irish team.
Group E Lyon 1-1 Liverpool -- The Reds took a late lead on a wonder-strike by Ryan Babel, but Rafa's side
was pushed to the brink of elimination by an even-later Lisandro López equalizer. When is Rafa
getting fired again? Fiorentina 5-2 Debrecen -- The Italians had an offensive explosion, including four goals in the
second half, in the easy home win. Click to continue reading...
Samir: Let it go Fab, they can't help it if they're that bad
Ok. I'll admit if you think that's lame but that pretty much sums up the match doesn't it.
Andrey Arshavin had a blast as Arsenal met (thrash) Alkmaar in the Champions League encounter last
night. Qualification is not mathematically secured yet but it would take a miraculous set of
results for Arsenal not to go through.
by CARL ELDRIDGE Lots of purring in the papers this morning after the glorious Gunners hammered
AZ Alkmaar 4-1 with some exquisite football to take us to the brink of the last 16 in the Champions
League.
In the Sun this morning, Arsene Wenger says he has his best-ever strike force. He said: "We've
never had as many options on the creative side.
Some nights Arsenal just click and it's beautiful to watch. After about five minutes we put
together a flowing, pacey, one-touch move which ended up with a Robin van Persie shot flying just
wide of the AZ goal. After that you knew Arsenal were in the mood.
We opened the scoring through Cesc Fabregas whose low shot scuttered between a defender's legs
and practically trickled across the line.
Arsenal came into its own with crisp, free flowing football. Cesc with a brace, Nasri with a
very welcome contribution on his return, and Diaby rounded up the scoring. But Arshavin was the
source having a hand in three of the goals. And Wenger singled him out.
Wenger highlighted Andrey Arshavin - who had a hand in three of the goals - for special
praise, saying: "He was outstanding.
Apologies all, I've been moving house today and cannot get near to doing a full preview of
tonight's game, which starts in a matter of minutes. Suffice to say that a win is actually quite
important given Chelsea's qualification last night (we play Chelsea after matchday 5, and they can
concentrate entirely on that one), and I think we'll get it, 2-0.
A win tonight at Ashburton Grove will see Arsenal qualify for the from the first group stage of
Champions League for the 10th consecutive seasons. Not even the great Barcelonas or Real Madrids or
AC Milans can lay claim to such an impeccable consistency. Tonight sees the return fixture with AZ
Alkmaar who pegged us back at the final minute of the game with an equalizer.
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.
So the big game is here at last and oh how lovely it would be to give these spuds a damn good
mashing, we haven't done so for a while and it would make it rather sweet.
You may think I'm wrong in calling the 4-4 game a defeat, but after getting so close to beating
them only to see them haul it back, it felt like a defeat.
With Almunia frozen out, and Mannone beginning to show understandable signs of being a little
out of his depth in the first team at this early stage of his career, the stage seemed set for
Fabianski to return to the fray against Spurs this afternoon, especially after a decent showing
against Liverpool in midweek.
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.
With Lukasz Fabianski's injury, it is pretty unlikely that a single one of the players involved in
Wednesday's Carling Cup match will start the North London Derby tomorrow. As such, it is very
difficult to draw any great conclusions from the Liverpool match. In terms of momentum, it will mean nothing - maybe it will inspire the players for the next round
but no more than that. Click to continue reading...
Maddy's Note: Our man Felipe is back, bringing you a great take on thhe
Carling Cup encounter which he was THERE for. Who would expect a team of kids to beat a very
experienced and solid Liverpool? One one would say Arsenal were favourites, but I just have to
confess I didn't think that way until the kick-off yesterday. Click to continue reading...
Good Friday to you. Sorry for the late post as I was doing a bit of traveling today.
Most would've expected Fabianski to keep the keeper's jersey for this tomorrow's North London
Derby but unfortunately for the Polish custodian, he is again crocked by injury.
by CARL ELDRIDGE What is it with Arsenal and our keepers? If Arsene Wenger has one weakness (and
he probably doesn't other than choice of shirt-tie combo) it must be choosing the incumbent for the
No.1 slot. He was blessed to inherit David Seaman and even then he gave Alex Manninger a chance
ahead of the pony-tailed one.
Doesn't a head butt on Ljungberg count for anything? It's bad enough that Silvestre plays for
the Arsenal given the fact that he's a <insert vile swear word insinuating oddities about his
sexuality here> but to give him the captain's armband? That simply is stretching it.
Monsieur Wenger, you know I have been a vociferous fan and that I've never EVER spoken ill of
you.
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.
