A Few Items Ahead of the Hammers

By: travis | Comments 2 Comments

Well, I didn’t get to write a recap of the Everton game. Perhaps it was due to the shock of seeing Arsenal score so late in the game. When I saw Timmy Cahill score — the lad is on fire as well — I hung my head in disgust and thought “there’s no way Arsenal [...]

Everton-Arsenal Game Thread

By: travis | Comments 4 Comments

A big match today, as Arsenal looks to keep up with Villa in a season, at least to me, is simply a “quest for fourth.” Losing out on the Champions League would do far more damage to a club like this than anything else — although it wouldn’t be the end of the world (see [...]

I’m So Tired

By: travis | Comments 9 Comments

So tired of hearing this or that about the Arshavin madness. I don’t even want to write this post right now, but since everyone and his or her mom is writing and reporting something about a fee being agreed, I figure I would take this time to whinge about it. Wenger has now come out [...]

A Much Not-Needed Cup Replay

By: travis | Comments 9 Comments

It was another sub-par performance from the Gunners yesterday, and with the 0-0 result after the 90 minutes at Ninian Park, we’re headed towards a replay at the Emirates for February 3rd. Geez, it’s February next week. Time flies. The winner of the replay will get the winner of the West Brom-Barnley replay, so perhaps [...]

A quick FA Cup Preview this morning

By: travis | Comments 1 Comment

It’s Cardiff City in today’s fourth-round FA Cup match at Ninian Park in Wales. The biggest storyline is Aaron Ramsey facing his old club in a match that should have a good deal of significance for Arsenal. This could be the club’s only legitimate shot at silverware this season, so I’d expect Wenger to trot [...]

All the news and bits

By: travis | Comments 6 Comments

Good evening all. I’ve been a bit lazy the past two days and uninspired. The Arshavin madness has been driving me a bit insane, and perhaps the saga has reached an end. The Daily Mail is reporting that an agreement has been reached between Zenit and Arsenal for the tune of £15m. A large sum, [...]

Arshavin close? Maybe, But I’ll Believe It When I See It

By: travis | Comments 5 Comments

Word around the Internets today is that Arsenal is close to signing Andrei Arshavin from Zenit for anywhere between £13-17m. Dick Advocaat told the Daily Mail that:
“Negotiations with Arsenal continue and the chances are very high that Arshavin will soon play in the English Premier League.”
That’s a good sign, and perhaps this long-rumored transfer will [...]

Hull City 1-3 Arsenal

By: travis | Comments 2 Comments

Another weekend, another pulse-raising, sweat-inducing Arsenal victory. This game was much, much, closer than the misleading 3-1 victory. But at the end of the day, with a team short of a lot of creative players, it is three points in the bank.
Despite Hull struggling with form, it was obvious that another tough game would be [...]

A Quick Hull Preview

By: travis | Comments 7 Comments

What’s that sound come from today’s match? The sound of revenge. For those of you unaware of the great rapper Chamillionaire, check him out for some tasty sounds.
While to me, today’s match is about revenge, Wenger and I are not on the same page:
“So on Saturday we just want to continue our progress, it is [...]

Nasri in the middle

By: travis | Comments 3 Comments

Not a very creative title for tonight’s post, but sometime when it’s an off night, pretending that I’m a good writer is a bit difficult. While considering ideas, it came upon me to focus on the key player who will help this team to the CL or beyond in the remaining few months. That and [...]
