Arsenal v Bournemouth: Title hopes fade but Gunners must keep winning regardless
As amusing as it is to see Spurs fall into the same old pattern of optimism/struggle/implode, our title hopes feel contingent on them at least having something to play for when they host Manchester City in a week or so.
Beware Eddie Howe’s copycat killers
That Porto's entire approach to the match was ultimately justified in their theft of a narrow win was the final slap in the face on a terrible night for football.
Burnley 0 Arsenal 5: Back-to-back demolitions sees momentum build
Going into the January break, it was difficult to see where the goals were coming from in this Arsenal side. A run of pretty lamentable results, punctuated by our form in front of goal sliding into comedic territory, felt like the end of our season before it had even truly begun. Fast forward a month, … Continue reading Burnley 0 Arsenal 5: Back-to-back demolitions sees momentum build
Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal: Tricky test on the road for Gunners
Despite it's anti-social scheduling for match-going fans, the midweek fixture tends to create the sort of electric atmosphere that lends itself to the host, and even more so to the underdog.

We could ill-afford to drop points at home against a flimsy West Ham side but, having done so, it was of absolutely overwhelming importance that we picked up a result at Craven Cottage. We failed.

Arsenal 0 West Ham 2: Defeat could be turning point in season
If Arsenal don't lace their shooting boots up quickly, their best chance at Premier League title in a generation will pass them by. Last night, Mikel Arteta's side managed 77 touches in the West Ham box, mustered 30 shots and enjoyed more than 70 per cent possession over 90 minutes...and they had absolutely nothing to … Continue reading Arsenal 0 West Ham 2: Defeat could be turning point in season
Arsenal 2 Brighton 0: A win…but we still lack a big finish
It would be churlish to complain after the Gunners snapped their Brighton hoodoo with victory at last over the south coast side at the Emirates. After all, three points are three points - no matter how you come by them, And, look, the performance on the day was actually excellent. In terms of ambition, incision, … Continue reading Arsenal 2 Brighton 0: A win…but we still lack a big finish
