For sheer entertainment value, the fair served up by Arsenal and West Ham was about as good as it gets. It had goals, cards, penalties and drama across 90 minutes of bonkers football that would have kept the neutral gripped, let alone fans of the two antagonists. And while we can all be delighted at … Continue reading VIDEO: West Ham 2 Arsenal 5: A costly win?
Sometimes, we will turn up there and blow them off the park, making them look every inch the average team they are.
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

Once or twice week, in the pictures released from training sessions, we see Emery heavily involved in proceedings, directing his players, … Continue reading Arsenal continue to roll the dice as search for balance at the back goes on
In a comforting throwback to better times, Arsenal brushed past an under par West Ham side at the Emirates in a manner that vaguely resembled the team at its best. It has been a good long while since the Gunners put in a performance that was anywhere near what they are capable of – against … Continue reading Derek Acorah summoned as the ghost of Arsenal resurfaces in thrashing of West Ham
West Ham are in appallingly bad form in the Premier League so, naturally, they are perfectly poised to produce the performance of the season when they arrive at the Emirates tonight. Arsenal are by no means in good form themselves – or anything closely resembling it - but there really is no excuse for not … Continue reading No crosses and no free-kicks: Arsenal’s task is clear as they welcome West Ham to the Emirates
