Leyton Orient (h) Post Match Thoughts: Brave Orient Bendt out of shape by Gunners

3rd March 2011 admin

Bendtner's second is becoming his trade mark for this season, cutting in from the left and bending like Bendtner into the far corner past the outstretched reach of the goalkeeper. When Kieran Gibbs was pulled down after jinking his way inside and outside his man in the second half,

Leyton Orient (h) Thoughts & Predictions: Time to get back on track

2nd March 2011 admin

Abou Diaby is back at the right time. In fact we could have done with him a few days earlier. With Cesc and Song out, the leggy Frenchman could be a very important player from here on in

Injury the danger, not cup defeat & Rooney’s predictable outcome

1st March 2011 admin

Speaking of Koscielny, I didn't actually see the slap on his head until yesterday as I turned the game off pretty much bang on the final whistle. Watching Koscielny not react because of the sheer disappointment made my heart sink and it was a total lack of class from Barry Ferguson. He is just lucky that he doesn't have another game against Arsenal this season. I would be awfully disappointed if one of his team mates didn't seek some sort

Birmingham City (n) Post Match Thoughts: Down but certainly not out

28th February 2011 admin

Our response was very good and within ten minutes we found the equaliser, Wilshere struck the crossbar from distance with a great strike from outside the box. The ball ended up at the feet of Andrey Arshavin who rolled his man very well but his cut back was top class. He didn't just put the ball into the box, he measured his cut back to perfection and Van Persie who can finish equally well with both feet executed a fantastic volley on his

A Call to Arms

28th February 2011 William Benn

Unfortunately I fear my temperament pre-match may have had much to do with the eventual performance of my beloved team. While the papers screamed ‘expect’, and Arsenal fans wrote ‘believe’, I could do little more than hope, so lacking in confidence was I that I would finally get to see Arsenal celebrate. They say that art mirrors life, and nowhere was that more true than Sunday. I was far more nervous for this game than I had ever

Your Vision – We must stick together and stay behind the team

28th February 2011 admin

If Arsenal had won I would have been ecstatic saying 'get in! what a great day, we've finally won a trophy!' and I would have been delighted at the achievement, but at the end of the day we have just missed out on a consolation/ bonus prize. Not one of the biggies

Birmingham City (n) Caring Cup Final Predictions: Diaby, Bendtner & Rosicky – Who will start?

27th February 2011 admin

Perhaps apart from Tomas Rosicky we do not have the same type of player who depend on their passing and vision more than anything else. Whilst the likes of Nasri, Wilshere and Ramsey are all good passers of the ball but none of them have the same level of vision and can pick a pass in the

Why Wenger’s squad is set to dominate English football

26th February 2011 admin

In my eyes our season changed after we lost 1-0 to Manchester United at Old Trafford. We came out the next Monday against Chelsea a totally different animal. Our work rate increased, our desire and commitment had shot through the roof. We no longer looked like a talented yet inconsistent side

Stoke-ing the flames & Carling cup final – Iron Man's Arse Weekly

On a more positive note, both Arsenal goals scored this week were made by the ultimate hit and miss superstar Soopa Niklas Bendtner who continues to delight, confuse and frustrate in one simple swing of a size 12 boot. It’s still difficult to know what to make of the big dane. After a strong second half of last season, injuries, the signing of Chamakh and return of Robin van Persie have meant he hasn’t really had a proper chance to get going this

Cesc’s absence could give Jack the freedom of expression

25th February 2011 admin

I was thinking about the implications of missing our captain in the next couple of games. There is a stat going around about Arsenal's win percentage this season with and without Cesc. Something like 70% with him in the side and 40+% without him. On the face of it, that sounds quite remarkable but I think those statistics are a little bit mischievous when you consider that we have often played our second string side when Cesc hasn't been
