Well another win up the shanties of Bolton. I will have to mention that I did predict the score at 3-1 as well. So that win, combined with the rest of the results from Saturday and Sunday, put us top of the league. Liverpool found a way to draw with Stoke, and ManUre and Chelski played out a 1-1 draw, so it was great for us to get all 3 points away from home. Click to continue reading...

Morning all. The match preview is a day early this time because I'm headed to Tallahassee tomorrow to watch Florida State beat Wake Forest. I'll be back Sunday and will hopefully get a match preview up then.

So we've got Bolton at the Reebok Stadium tomorrow. This used to be really a tricky fixture for us, although since Fat Sam left for Newcastle they haven't been the same. Click to continue reading...

Another weekend saw another good result. Hard to find a lot of things to complain about after taking down Blackburn, thanks to Theo, Adebayor, and RvP - among others. Nice to see Walcott remain fairly grounded after his hat trick against Croatia. His mazy run set up van Persie's goal, while Adebayor netted a treble.

Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle -- Finally the Gunners show some championship potential. RVP with a brace and Arsenal had a 23-4 shot advantage. Dang...

Aston Villa 0-0 Liverpool -- Borefest saw Torres get hurt and Villa fans heckle the crap out of Benitez for trying to steal Gareth Barry.

Man City 3-0 Sunderland -- SWP debuted with a vengeance, netting two fairly simple attempts. Click to continue reading...

Morning, or should I say afternoon, fellow gooners.

Apologies for no blog over the weekend. I was in the process of moving house, something i will have to do again by the end of the month. What joy.

As such, I only caught the second half of the Newcastle performance, but what I did see was rather lovely. Click to continue reading...

It's a big disappointment. But Fulham deserve full credit for this win. They had a plan and executed it perfectly: neutralize the Arsenal's weak central midfield and clamp down on the left flank.

Arsenal's team on the pitch were not fluid; their passes astray, their runs sluggish; they were often a step late to the ball. Click to continue reading...

Morning all. I'm taking a break from watching the Olympics because they are showing rowing right now. Is that even a sport? Rowing. Some of these sports are just awful...beach volleyball, handball, synchronized diving/swimming, fencing...I love the Olympics but some things just should not have medals given for them.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to launch into a sensationalist critique of how terrible the first half against Ajax has been, it would be silly to read to much into one game and there have been many positives from the first half despite the scoreline. Denilson has looked sharp again, Walcott is looking at home on the left of midfield while there are some encouraging signs from RVP and Click to continue reading...

Morning all. Yesterday we beat Real Madrid 1-0 through a beautiful penalty from Adebayor. I don't care how much you hate him, he makes our team better. If you boo him then go to hell. I don't boo Arsenal players, even Eboue, so piss off for booing our 30 goal scorer. He isn't perfect by any means but who is in today's footballing world? Click to continue reading...
