Sunderland 1-Arsenal 0
I opened up my preview for this match with the following paragraph: Back in action at the Stadium of Light tomorrow, for what I expect to be a very tricky match. Seriously–this match scares the hell out of me. For one thing, it’s a road match against a top half side with a very good home ...

(Now) I Know What You Did (Since) Last Summer, Part III
Finishing up our “what did we miss out on?” series today: FELIPE MELO Arsenal were probably linked with Felipe Melo this summer more than any other player. The biggest difference between Arsenal’s 2007-2008 season and our 2008-2009 season, which saw the club take a large ...

Emmanuel Eboue: World Class Striker
If you haven’t seen it already, Eboue scored a goal for Ivory Coast in an international friendly against Germany yesterday. The goal was brilliant–showing he may very well be the perfect striker: the strength of Drogba, the creativity of Henry, and the finishing of Owen. ...

Main d’un dieu?
It’s not strictly Arsenal-related, I know, but by now I’m sure you’ve all seen the controversial goal which put France into the 2010 World Cup. If you haven’t: there was a cross into the box which fizzed past the far post, and looked like it was headed over the ...

News Round Up
Okay, I know, 3 posts in one day is a bit excessive. But one was part of a planned thing, the other was new injury news, and there are several things here that I thought you find interesting. First, and most importantly, Kieran Gibbs did not break his foot, only suffered brusing , and is ...

Thirteen
Well, it never ends. Apparently Aaron Ramsey has also picked up a knock on international duty , meaning we now have fully thirteen players injured. If you’re curious, we have 29 players listed in our first-team. Which means we are only a few injuries away from having literally more than ...

Poll: Where Would Arsenal’s Injury List Finish?
As you know, we complain about injuries, even though a lot of other clubs (Liverpool, Chelsea) have plenty of injury problems of their own. But we now have fully eleven players injured, and crying doesn’t help, so why not have a little fun with it? Our 11 players could be configured ...

What Impact will van Persie’s Injury Have?
Well, I just finished gnashing my teeth, rending my clothes, and dropping down to my knees, head thrust upward, yelling “Why, God? Why?!” I think now I can almost think rationally about this. The big news is that the injury is not quite as bad as it had been first thought. ...

van Persie Out Injured; In Other News, I HATE International Friendlies
Most of you have probably already seen this, but Robin van Persie tore an ankle ligament today, an injury which will keep him up for around 2 months. . What, you may ask, super-important match was he playing in to take on such an injury? Was it the World Cup? Nope. The European championships? ...

Did you ever do that thing where you meet a girl (or guy, if you’re one of my female or nontraditional male readers), strike up a conversation, realize she’s kind of into you, but then for whatever reason, you decide not to make your move? And then, a couple months or years later, ...

Wolves 1-Arsenal 4
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 ...
