Newcastle Preview

Time for just a quick preview of today’s matchup against Newcastle. A big game, despite being the third match of the season. Arsene’s kids will be out to build on the 4-0 win over Twente this week, and to recover in the league from the embarrassment against Fulham last week.
I feel alright about this game. [...]
Into the Group Stages
By: travis | No Comments
Well that was pretty easy. Twente didn’t put up much of a fight in Wednesday’s second leg, going down 4-0, and 6-0 on aggregate. A real confidence booster if you ask me, especially in light of the previous weekend’s performance. Theo Walcott’s finish in the second half was undoubtedly Henry-esque, so that’s good. And Nasri [...]
FC Twente – Second Leg plus other ramblings
By: travis | 2 Comments
As many of you know, today features the second leg of Champions League qualifying against those pesky Dutch, FC Twente. Led by Steve McLaren, the legendary English coach, this should not be a big deal, what with a 2-0 lead on aggregate from the first leg. However, it’s always fun to play the role of [...]
Senderos exits?
By: travis | 3 Comments
So I just wrote this post about Senderos leaving. It disappeared. Weird. To recap my point, rumors are strongly blowing in from Milan that the Swiss defender is on his way out the door in a loan deal for the entire year, with AC Milan holding the option to sign him at the end of [...]
Let’s Get Whiny!

Because that’s what inevitably happens whenever Arsenal lose.
And let’s not mess around- that was an awful performance today. Last week’s game against West Brom was better, even if just for the goal (I actually thought it wasn’t a terrible performance last week, just one lacking some sharpness). Gallas is still making people wonder and we [...]
Category: RantsOne more signing?

After the surprise signing of Silvestre this week, Wenger has revealed that he might not be done on the transfer market. He’s a cunning old man, he is. And, as usual, the player will probably be someone nobody expects.
“I can surprise you sometimes, as I got one in whom you did not expect, and there [...]
Wait, What?

And the first player to transfer from Manchester United to Arsenal in 34 years is…Mikaël Silvestre.
Who on Earth saw that coming? We do make our transfers quiet, I’ll give you that.
He’s not our normal style of signing. He’s 31. He’s a defender. He’s French. (Okay, that one negates the other ones.) He’s also pretty much [...]

Ok, so that wasn’t all that pretty. I’ll also admit I didn’t get the chance to watch the opening match this past Saturday, but a 1-0 result is nothing to boast about. Which is a sign that Arsene will pick up on (please sign a midfielder). Yes, Cesc Fabregas wasn’t in action due to injury, [...]
It’s deja vu all over again
By: travis | 1 Comment
Before the 2007/08 season, many critics/pundits were forecasting what would be a negative season for the Gunners. They were too young, too inexperienced – whatever the excuse, this would be the season that would see them fall out of the top four, perhaps only the top three and concede one spot on the table to [...]

I’m back and hungry for more. The season already got started this week with the win against Twente. A good confidence boost, if you ask me.
I’ve been away on a trip around the world, stopping by in London for the Emirates Cup. It was a great experience getting to Ashburton Grove, as the sell [...]
