Blackburn 1, Arsenal 0

I didn't actually watch this game due to picking up my new toy and I haven't got round to watching it on ATVO yet so I can't comment on any performances. I'm guessing we weren't all that great though....

Chesea 2, Arsenal 1 Carling Cup Final

I'm not going to dwell on this one at all. Not because we lost, but because what should have been remembered as one of the greatest league cup finals of all time will instead be remebered for incident...

PSV 1, Arsenal 0

Playing away for the first leg of any tie is an advantage in my books. Get an away goal and make your opponents bring the game to you on the return leg. So why did we not capitalise? The team was a qu...

Arsenal 0, Blackburn 0

Yay, another replay. As if we haven't got enough games to play as it is. Arsenal we lively, loads of posession, some slick passing but lacking that final delivery as always. Blackburn were monumentall...

Arsenal 2, Wigan 1

Sometimes things just don't go your way and its fucking annoying. Us Gooners have been on the recieving end of bad luck and poor judgement plenty of times. Today was not one of these days. With Bolton...

Is Almunia good enough to be No. 1?

As the season goes on it looks less and less likely that Lehmann will be with us next year. Now don't get me wrong, Jens is proper Arsenal but asking anything more than a year by year contract is opto...

Middlesbrough 1, Arsenal 1

The Gunners took pretty much an expected team to the North East to take on an in form Middlesbrough side. Good to hear the travelling Gooners making themselves heard and supporting the lads until the ...

Arsenal 3, Spurs 1 (5-3 agg.)

"Two nil, and you f**ked it up, two nil, and you f**ked it up" was probably ringing in Spurs fans heads long after they had trudged out of the Emerites early, not bothering to wait for the final whist...
