Arsenal v AZby nineinchmail
There’s not much else to say other than that that was a sublime performance by Arsenal. The trophy draught is frustrating, but honestly, when Arsenal plays like they did last night, dominating another club through sheer skill, technique, and teamwork, it just reminds me how lucky I am to root for Arsenal.

AZ Preview; Walcott Out 3-4 Weeks
By: Martin | 5 Comments
Champions League matchup tomorrow against AZ Alkmaar, and for some reason I can’t look at that name without thinking of Azkaban prison from Harry Potter.
