Robin van Persie’s headed goal in the 13th minute was enough to see the Gunners earn a tough three points away to West Ham at Upton Park this afternoon.
This is the kind of game that would have been a draw or loss last season, but this year, there’s a different attitude in the side, and it’s great to see. We’re having connectivity issues here at my house, so I’m forced to keep things brief. Dan, if you want to add more, please, feel free!

A cracking win in the Carling cup with our so called B team. Couldn’t have done the confidence any harm whatsoever. Back to the business side of things this week at Upton Park where we’ve surprisingly lost to a team that does “play football” too many times. Maybe its time to set the record straight then.
I watched West Ham v Newcastle, and Dean Ashton is on form. He’s a very clever positional player who scores goals when fit. Norwich City’s record signing at 3m, and I quite like him. Carlton Cole has done nothing for as far as I can remember,...

Like all Gooners I am delighted by our start. All of the pro and con inputs regarding the team and players are great to read.
I have an observation regarding the Gunners schedule. I think we should be thankful that for most of the season the Home versus Away schedule favors us. If I have done the Math correctly it is 3-1,7-4,9-6,11-8,13-10,15-12,17-14, and then the crunch hits with a 2-5 run in.
If we had started out in reverse and suffered a start like last season, I am not sure that we would have recovered.
I feel our ACHILLES HEALS are Central Defense (what if K Toure...

I am a South African Arsenal (14 years ) fan currently visiting the USA. I’ve been here for 3 months and the only soccer I get to see of our team is online… after games!
I’m missing the excitement of the live games, especially since we’re ROCKING this season. It would be nice to share the fun with fellow Arsenal fans. Please let me know if any games are shown live in bars, clubs, etc., in and around North New Jersey.
HHHHeeeeeeeelllllpppppp :( lol

[ed note: The following mailbag submission is solely the opinion of its' author, and does not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Arsenal America board, or those of our membership as a whole. On a personal level, I think Dein can go to hell, but I digress.*]
I am a huge supporter of David Dein. Let’s not forget that it was Dein’s vision and not the custodians that brought Arsenal into the future. If it was left up to the so-called “custodians,” Arsenal would still be playing at Highbury and trying to find another Scottish manager. The truth of the...

If you pay attention, the players who fans feel are playing well are always the regular starters. Adebayor got his critics when he first came back from injury. Flamini failed to impress the first few games he played. As I said at that time, players need a run of game to get themselves into match sharpness. Both have been playing better and better as more matches they played as starters.
The best example of all is Gael Clichy. When he was the back up of Ashley Cole, playing an odd game here and there, I wasn’t entirely convinced by him. He got pace and skills, but looked having...

Two second half goals within six minutes of each other were enough to see a very young Arsenal side ease past a full-strength Newcastle in this evening’s 3rd round Carling Cup tie at the Grove.
Nicklas Bendtner’s towering header, followed shortly by Denilson’s smash from 25 yards sees the Gunners added to Saturday’s draw for the 4th round. Also on Saturday is a trip to Upton Park for a league match against West Ham. The Hammers did the double over us last season, so let’s hope this good start to the season continues. Kickoff is at 10AM ET, and the...

Well, its the League Cup again. Slowly now as the season rolls on, squad depth will be tested yet again. People like Fred have already declared their views on the Carling Cup 
but I feel its a very important tournament for our young-er squad players. People like Traore, Denilson, Hoyte, Nortveidt, Bendtner, Theo even might get some well needed playing time. If we get knocked out in the first round these super talented kids will not have much playing time this season and nothing to look...

I wrote this and posted it on the BBC 606 in July and got very little response. I think this site has a better class of reader and I hope you guys enjoy my scribble.
I have added a few lines to bring it up to date.
“Another great player leaves Arsenal and all around us are writing yet another obituary. The players that leave have a few comments to make but it’s only the media choice that is given visibility.
Wenger will be at Arsenal for many more years. He has created and built his dream with the training ground, the squad of young talent, the Emirates stadium....
