Arsenal: 1st Place (43 points)
Chelsea: 2nd Place (38 points)
The New Year is upon us and I see no better way to start 2003 than by kickin’ the crap out of Chelsea. This fixture holds even more importance than just a London derby as Chelsea actually sit in unfamiliar territory at second place, five points behind the Gunners. This fixture is always a rough affair and a lot of fun to watch but...

The EINY goes old school epic style with his year end report. Take it away EINY…
Well the year has just about come to an end and here we have the Arsenal in some rather rarified air of being on top of the Premier League as the calendar comes to and end and what a 366 days it has been for us all and ol’ EINY will be doing a bit of reminiscing to remind us all of what has just occurred. First off I’d like to wish everyone a safe and prosperous new year and let’s hope 2003 will bring Arsenal more silverware….
I’d be remiss to not speak on the wonderful...

Wow, what a day. My first time at Highbury and, despite a disappointing result, it was great. I had an omen that things would go well when I noticed the fellow Gunners who got on the Tube at London Bridge, which is fairly far south of the stadium. A couple more joined in the ride at the next stop, and before I knew it was almost nearly all Gunners on the Piccadilly line heading toward the Arsenal Tube stop. The queue to get out of the Underground was long, even though we arrived about two hours before kickoff - everyone seems anxious to get to Highbury.
I wandered around for a while soaking...

It’s become either sublimely ridiculous, or ridiculously sublime. You, the reader, must decide as we follow the continuing adventures of (cue ominous music): Yevgheny, Miss Prunella Face and Paul “Gazzo” Gazzoween. But one must wonder, what has become of our hero, G. Rex?
Faced with perhaps his most daunting task to date, what with Rick laying down the Dennis Miller gauntlet, G. Rex takes quill to paw in order to have at the challenge which would make Tantalus recoil. It is a task which would make even the most robust computerized spell-checker balk, yet would make almost...

Greetings All! We’re in the thick of the holidays and the Arsenal America troupe should be in London right now, gearing up for Sunday’s match. The results from Boxing Day went our way as we grabbed a 2-1 win over WBA (goals by Francis Jeffers (!) and Thierry Henry) while everyone else drew or lost. A five point lead for the Arsenal going into our two tough matches.

Well despite the result last weekend it’s clear to see that the great divide between the 2 clubs in North London is even greater than we first imagined as even though they actually seemed to outplay the Arsenal all they could end up with was 1 point and attempt to avoid relegation come May. Ashley Cole’s display of fortitude was something to behold and as “bogey” months go the Arsenal is still top of the league! Now if that’s not something to be cheerful about then I don’t know what is.
A mid season “report card” caught my eye this week...

Arsenal agree terms with Senderos
GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) - Philippe Senderos, a defender with Swiss team Servette, will join premier league champions Arsenal at the end of the season, his Swiss club has said.
The 17-year-old, who is still at school, will move to Highbury from the Nationalliga club on June 1 after agreeing terms with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger.
“Philippe Senderos will leave in July 2003 for Arsenal,” Servette said in a statement on Friday. “He will be integrated into Arsene Wenger’s team and will improve his education in England.”

We’re pretty much at the halfway point of the season, so let’s take a look at where Arsenal stand:
Premiership
The Gunners sit in first place and therefore control their own destiny. After starting the season looking like they might not lose, they’ve fallen to earth a bit. Still, there is every reason to believe they can repeat as champs.
Champions League
Won our first group stage, and sit in first in the second group stage. Most importantly, we’ve picked up victories on the road, a bugaboo for the team in recent years. Barring a serious breakdown, advancing...

Like Twin Peaks in season three or Spurs in the 18th year of their five year rebuilding plan, the continuing saga of G. Rex, Yevgheny and Prunella Face is now completely shot to hell. This installment has more arcane references than Dennis Miller reading Roget’s thesaurus. Let the hilarity ensue…
When last we saw our terrible trio, Kentucky State Trooper Ky Gunner was returning to his big, honkin’ Ford Crown Victoria, and the evil three, Yevgheny, Prunella., and Paul “Gazzo” Gazzoween, were floating down a back-water water on the West Virginia & Kentucky...
