Joleon Lescott Has A Large Forehead
By: Abby |And thank God he does, because otherwise I would have had nothing to talk about while watching the game yesterday.
Because really, nothing happened. It was very much an end-of-season game where the team couldn’t quite be bothered to actually play. Everton weren’t exactly inspiring, either, which was a bit more surprising because they actually had […]
Auf wiedersehen Jens, Arsenal win
By: travis |With the news of Flamini leaving now coming from the foremost news source, Arsenal took care of business in a particular unconvincing fashion. It was an interesting game more than it entertained, with the only goal coming from a powerful header from Dane Nicklas Bendtner. That brings his tally to nine on the season, a […]
Arsenal v Everton for what it’s worth
By: travis |Well, Man United won so the Gunners are mathematically eliminated from the title race - although no one said they were still in it. It’s unfortunate that with two or three wins against the teams we dropped points against (Birmingham, Middlesborough) we’d still be in the thing. So for us, with third place locked […]
Defeating Derby
By: travis |If only we could play Derby ever week. The boss had nothing but praise, saying “we are now back to our real level.” A 6-2 win generally a time for celebration, but with the league virtually out of reach, not much to really hope for or harp on. Instead of reading a lot of nonsense […]
Rams to the slaughter…
By: travis |Sadly, another meaningless game. Unless of course, both Chelsea and Man United lose all their remaining games. If that happens (odds are about 1 in 10000000000000000), Arsenal wins the league - assuming winning their remaining games. Since that isn’t going to happen, I’ll focus on today’s match against the already relegated Derby County.
Last match against […]
Time to bring out the whooping stick.
By: travis |Now that the season is over with four games remaining, it’s time to take out all this frustration of the last month on Reading. They still have something to play for, seeing that they are not yet safe from the relegation zone. And with Fulham probably getting an easy ride from Liverpool, three points are […]
Memes and Finalities
By: Abby |Well, that’s it, then.
I’m not really in a mood to due a true post-mortem. There will be plenty of days and weeks for that. But I have a few immediate reactions before I go attempt to be cheery for several many hours.
The meme of Arsenal is that we need experience- yet it was the two […]
Running Up That Hill
By: Abby |It was the stereotypical wet afternoon in the North, in conditions that my wimpy American self, used to rain delays and stadiums with roofs, couldn’t imagine sitting in, much less playing football in. In the worst form Arsenal had been in ages it was time to visit the bogey team of the past few seasons. […]
Well.
By: Abby |I really thought we could take this.
I shrieked aloud when Sagna scored. Twice. The high-pitched, embarrassing sort of shriek. No one deserved it more after such a solid season, and I was happy. I thought this would be our day. We were looking solid, everyone was on form, and I was daring to hope between […]
Confident that Flamster will return plus Chelsea preview
By: travis |A slow newsday this morning as the team prepares for what looks like to be the biggest game of the year. I wrote yesterday about Flamini’s contract situation. Wenger is confident things will be settled in April. This work really nicely for us.
Chelsea Preview
The Gunners biggest test of the season. With their slump in form […]
