Arsenal v Fulham Preview & Game Thread
By: travis |A few quick thoughts this morning before the match. The first being how vital a win is today. This team has put up a solid unbeaten run, but needs three points. It will be no easy task as Fulham have gone from regulation strugglers last season to eighth in the league so far. Sure, the [...]
Denilson takes one for the team
By: travis |Thanks to commenter MoMoney for the reminder about this, I saw it and might as well share it here. Credit to Gunnerblog for bringing everyone’s attention to it.
Hard to say if that was intentional or not. My thoughts? Totti knew what he was doing and hit Denilson there. No way to prove it though. Quite [...]
This is strange…
By: travis |Saloman Kalou to Arsenal? That is a strange rumor, and one that I would never believe or post if not for how ludicrous it is. Those stuck in rumor lala land, please come up with something that is even remotely believable. Here’s what he said:
”Wenger said he thought of signing me? That’s an honour for [...]
Arsenal 1-0 AS Roma or expecting anything different?
By: travis |My goodness this is getting repetitive. As the Arsenal blogger here on the Offside, I feel like game in, game out, I’m spitting out the same thing. Something that reads like this:
“They couldn’t finish today… Lots of passing, decent midfield work, nothing in front of the net… Bendtner is awful and terrible. Eboue was rubbish [...]
Gametime chatter
By: travis |35 minutes until kickoff. Lineups are posted via the BBC:
Arsenal team: Almunia, Sagna, Clichy, Toure, Gallas, Nasry, Denilson, Eboue, Diaby, Bendtner, Van Persie.
That should hardly send a shudder through the spine of the Roma supporters. Song deserves his seat on the bench. We all know that Diaby is capable, but on most days he looks [...]
AS Roma Preview
By: travis |Don’t look now, but the Champions League are back. It feels like just the other day the last fixture took place. Whatever it feels like, Roma is coming to town and I have no idea what to say about it. The young guns will be challenged again, and there is no Arshavin and Eduardo to [...]
Not again
By: travis |The big debut of Andrey Arshavin came and went, and that’s perhaps the most positive thing you can take out of yesterday’s 0-0 draw with Sunderland. You’d have to say there was every reason to be optimistic after the 4-0 win against Cardiff. Sure, the spark of Eduardo would be missed, but the Arshvain-injection into [...]
Here we go again
By: travis |Back to league action today with Sunderland traveling to the Emirates. It’s the Arsenal debut of Andrey Arshavin who has been named in today’s first XI very recently. It’ll be all eyes on him as his presence will (hopefully) help with a creative spark that this team has been lacking. That wasn’t a problem on [...]
That’s More Like It
By: travis |Finally, some good news. A classy 4-0 win against an opponent that looked over matched, and a great comeback to celebrate. Even if you were to ignore the Eduardo bit it’s still a great result. But toss that in and it feels good to be a Gunners fan right now. Just wait til Saturday — [...]
FA Cup Cardiff
By: travis |It’s Cardiff today and a win would be nice. This competition is the only one that Arsenal still has a chance to win silverware in, so I would expect a strong side. We haven’t managed a goal in the last two matches, and only one in the past four. So a goal would be a [...]
