Sunderland 1:0 Arsenal (A)

A very disappointing loss straight after the international break. An away game to Sunderland is always gonna be tough, especially when most of your players were just coming back from their international games.
The injury of RVP and fatigue of Arshavin resulted in a new front three of Rosicky, Nasri and Eduardo, while injury of Diaby [...]

Two big wins

After a big win over AZ Alkmaar in mid-week, we went on to beat Wolves 4-1 in BPL. Suddenly, everyone seemed to take note of us as we silently went about doing our jobs. Now, we need only one point from the remaining two matches in Champions League to qualify for the last 16.

Arsenal 3:0 Spurs (H)

Woohoo, a 3-0 victory over spurs at Emirates Stadium.
In actual fact, we didn’t play that well. The first 40 minutes we had a lot of misplaced passes, and players looked nervous. Then al of a sudden, a goal came from nowhere. A seemingly harmless low cross from Sagna was met by RVP and RVP scored. Its [...]

After the 1-1 draw with AZ Alkmaar in Champions League, we drew 2-2 against West Ham in BPL after leading 2-0. The champions league match wasn’t a big issue, as we are still top of the table.

Arsenal 3:1 Birmingham (H)

The first game after international break is always quite dangerous due to possible players fatigue. We looked great when we scored two early goals by Van Persie and Diaby.

Man City 4:2 Arsenal (A)

This is our second league lost, after a rather promising start to the season. There’s a feeling that all those frustrations of the past few seasons were going to happen again this season. Maybe, we haven’t change a bit afterall.
Almunia is just a clown. He is at best a backup keeper. To think that we [...]

Manchester United 2:1 Arsenal (A)

Blunders from Almunia and Diaby gifted Man United 2 goals.  It was rather sad to see us losing that way. We started the game without key players like Rosicky, Nasri and captain Fabregas. It was rather obvious that the absence of the trio resulted in a lack of creativity from the centre of midfield.
Our front [...]
