That is how fine the margins are. Had Mariner and last night's referee done their jobs correctly then we would be currently four points behind them with tonight's game in hand. However I know it is not as easy as that, apparently decisions even themselves out over the course of the season. If that is the

How lucky are we to have successfully moved from the romantic but not-so-roomy Highbury to a world-class arena such as the Emirates? On time and on budget, lest we forget. And given the recent shenanigans involving West Ham, Spurs and the Olympic Stadium, we’re even luckier that the only real

I feel massively sorry for Emmanuel Eboue. He had a fantastic game and was certainly one of our better performers on the day. He was one of the players who added that drive and direct running that many of the more popular players missed from their performance throughout the game

A 1-0 lead in injury time with less than 2 minutes to go and we can’t defend it, winning games, trophies seem a far cry. To hell with the likes of me, sitting glued to the front of a TV on a different continent with the hope that my beloved Arsenal would be tops again, I feel for all those fans that

To make matters worse Liverpool had been time-wasting their arses off for most of the game and yet they feel the benefits of this later in the game as when we get a last minute goal, the referee plays on presumably because of the time- wasting in the game. But Arsenal had scored, Liverpool shouldn't

Plenty of defensive and offensive responsibility will fall on the shoulders of Emmanuel Eboue this afternoon. A player who can be fantastic one moment and then shaky the next. I expect Liverpool to defend narrowly with special attention being made to Walcott on that side so Eboue could find himself as the spare man at times. His powerful running could give space to others and could also make one of
Arsene Wenger has spoken very highly of former player Dragan Stojkovic, the current manager of Grampus Eight, a club that Wenger managed whilst in Japan. Apparently he has the same ideas and philosophy as Wenger. Grampus Eight have won their league in Japan this season but if he was to leave
As much as I love Bacary Sagna in the side, I love his no nonsense approach to defending. I also enjoy watching the marauding runs of Emmanuel Eboue at home. Having said that I think a game as big as Liverpool would suit Sagna as we can expect the opposition to venture out of their half more than
He has a bursting urge to drive tens of lorries packed with £50 notes into the Emirates. He wants to sit Arsene down by a candle light dinner and convince him to spend all his cash as he deserves it. Usmanov wants Arsenal fans to be happy and for Arsenal to win every single game without conceding any goals and scoring fives and sixes every game. Then we can all live happily ever after, although I still think that

No he’s not perfect. No he’s not the best player in the world (Bale, obviously). No he’s not our saviour. But he is effective and he is improving and we can’t really ask for more than that. Perhaps
