A Christmas Miracle

By: travis | Comments No Comments

That’s the best way to sum up Sunday’s result. Despite a game bereft of quality and lacking any sort of finishing prowess, the combination of a William Gallas and some shoddy keeping from David James and it was three points for Arsenal.
Can’t comment too much on the game – the holiday season, combined with the [...]

Aston Villa 2-2 Arsenal

By: travis | Comments 2 Comments

What a match. I don’t know whether to be relieved that we secured a point, mad that we didn’t win, or be content that Villa didn’t run us off the pitch and back down to London. I can’t remember a match with such a flurry of different emotions.
Right from the kickoff I thought it was [...]

Villa Preview & Game Thread

By: travis | Comments No Comments

Huge game today, start in about 30 minutes. Another season defining moment in a campaign where little has gone right. Villa sits ahead of us by three points in fourth place – a win today and we’ll hop back over them into the top four. As I type this, the top three have already won [...]

Merry Christmas from the Arsenal Offside

Merry Christmas to all from Arsenal Offside. Hope everyone has a great holiday season, thanks for all the lovely feedback. Please keep it coming – lots of chatter in the past week or so. I may or may not have a full preview of Aston Villa tomorrow. To say that it is a big game [...]

Fabregas out four months

By: travis | Comments 9 Comments

It’s crisis time at the Emirates as the worst-case scenario came true. Gone is the hope he would only miss a few weeks and the reality that he will be gone for up to four months is the reality of it. The Spaniard has partially torn his medial ligament and will be on the sidelines [...]

Surprise Surprise

By: travis | Comments 1 Comment

Another game, another draw. This team can’t seem to get its act together and put in a winning performance. Sure, they didn’t receive any help from some dodgy refereeing from Howard Webb, but when all is said and done all they could manage was another point at home.
Things started off fairly brightly at the Emirates, [...]

Liverpool Game Thread

By: travis | Comments 27 Comments

Kickoff is less than an hour and a half away and I won’t have time for a lengthy preview. Many people are labelling this as a must-win. And while I can’t argue with that, I feel like the last 4 or 5 games have received a similar title. But a game against the leader of [...]

Roma

By: travis | Comments 12 Comments

The Champions League draw took place today and it’s going to be Roma in the first round of the knockout stages. Certainly not an easy draw by any means, and with the way this squad tends to come out and play, it will be a difficult battle. With that said, looking at last season’s victory [...]

All Eyes on Underhill

By: travis | Comments 2 Comments

Today is a special day for many Arsenal supporters. It marks the return of Eduardo to the reserve side as they take on Pompey reserves at Underhill. While it isn’t a full blown recovery – yet – it is a step in the right direction, something that many experts and doctors were not expecting. There [...]

What to say about ‘Boro

By: travis | Comments 2 Comments

Another weekend and a familiar result to sting the nostrils this evening. A 1-1 draw that wasn’t really much of a surprise, but nonetheless the pain can still be felt. What hurts even more/comes as a relief is that the other members of the big three all managed to draw. So instead of inching our [...]
