International Bre-…zzz…

By: Martin | Comments 11 Comments

It’s here. 2 weeks without any Arsenal. Normally I’d say this is a good chance for our players to get healthy, but so many of our players (even players who are injured, like Cesc and Rosicky) are playing for their national teams that we’ll probably be more banged up in 2 weeks than we are [...]

Manchester United v Arsenalby cirmutan
Well…I don’t know. I apologize for the delay between the end of the game and this post, but if I had posted my thoughts immediately after the end of the match, the Catholic church would have had legitimate grounds for excommunicating me. So I tried to wait a few hours to [...]

By: Martin | Comments 7 Comments

Well, it’s official–AZ Alkmaar, Olympiakos, and Standard Liege. Looking over it, my gut reaction is that we probably got the easiest group out of the Pool A clubs.
There aren’t any “easy” games at this stage, but there is really no excuse for us not making it into the knockout rounds with this draw, as [...]

By: Martin | Comments 22 Comments

Well, that’s it–we’re through to the Champions League with room to spare (5-1 on aggregate). Several things to talk about in this one, so let’s dive right in.
I suppose there’s no choice but to start by talking about Eduardo’s penalty.

Celtic Preview

By: Martin | Comments 9 Comments

Today is the return leg against Celtic. The bottom line in this game is that we’ve already got one foot in the group stages, and simply need to do a professional job today to finish them off.
It is tempting, with the United game coming up this weekend, to think that this is a good [...]

Cesc Out, Sol Down, Philippe Up in the Air

By: Martin | Comments 6 Comments

A little bit of news round-up from the early part of this week. First off, Cesc has been ruled out for tomorrow’s clash with Celtic. But this doesn’t really tell us anything. Wenger has said that it might have just been a slight tweak, in which case he could be ready to play against Manchester [...]

Arsenal v Portsmouthby donchesko10
So, let me say at the outset that I’ve gotten 6 hours sleep combined the last 2 nights, had to move my stuff out of my old apartment (in hellish heat), drive 13 hours to New York, and move stuff into my new apartment (in hellish heat) today. Anything I may be [...]
