Eduardo da Silva scored twice, including a thunderous opening goal just eight minutes in, and Denilison added the icing to the cake, as Arsenal beat Sheffield United 3-0 at Bramall Lane this Halloween night. The win means the Gunners are now in the pot for the quarter-final draw which takes place on Saturday. Also this Saturday is the “biggest game of the season so far,” as an in-form Manchester United pay a visit to the Grove.

With the Blades looking distinctly blunt at the moment - 19th in the second division and falling - this is a great opportunity for Wenger’s other batch of Youngsters to dish out a pasting in the style.
Admittedly, Sheffield beat us 1-0 last season thanks to a moment of Lehmanic impulsiveness, but they also had to resort to various nasty unpunished tricks like punching VanP in the stomach.
This year, as we all know, we can deal with the physical stuff. So, yes, it is another grim, cold, probably wet, Up North kick-fest — think Liverpool with no class - but with Denilson,...

Goals wins football games. It’s as simple as that. But finding goal scorers is not that simple.
Arsenal have scored 22 goals in 10 league games. That’s a great record. Yet I believe our fortunes lie in finding more goal scoring options. Why? Read on.
Our current scorers are
Ade - 6
RvP - 5
Cesc - 5
Rosicky - 2
Hleb, Diaby, Sendy, Toure - 1
The trend suggests that, for now, we are relying on three players for goals. RvP is out for some time. Ade is not the best when it comes to converting chances and can go through rough patches...

Thanks to everyone who turned up at Maggie McGarrys. We had a small but loyal group of Bay Area Gooners for the weekend match against Liverpool. Despite a congenial atmosphere, the only person in a Liverpool kit departed at half-time. Unfortunately, the pictures came out a bit blurred (impaired photographer methinks), so you’ll just have to take my word for it.
The report from Mad Dog In The Fog was that they got a good turnout, which was split down the middle in terms of Arsenal and Liverpool supporters.
Seeing as these seem to be the only two options for pubs that open...

A late Cesc Fabregas goal gave Arsenal a 1-1 tie at Anfield on Sunday and kept the Gunners at the top of the Premier League.
Arsenal had much of the possession and hit the post twice. Liverpool had chances, as well, and forced a few good saves from Manuel Almunia.
Discuss.

Editor’s note: Hmm…must be a big game coming up or something, as this week we have not one, not two, but three previews. Thanks for the contributions, here they are in the order we received them:

Hello, my name is Tim and I’m a Gooner. Actually, I’m a northwest Gooner. Ok, full disclosure; I’m the Seattle/Tacoma rep for Arsenal America and I live in Tacoma.
Yesterday I received an email from some fellow Seattle/Tacoma Arsenal fans, which means that there are more than one of us up here! Well, how many are there? I don’t know, but I’m hoping this article will help me find out.
What I’d like to do is have a first ever Seattle/Tacoma Arsenal America mixer. We can get together, brag about how many times we’ve been to Highbury/Emirates...

It’s a tempting thought to have an ex-player managing Arsenal. But on second thought, perhaps it’s not such a good idea at all.
I mean, football manager can be a very demanding task. Fans in general are not as patient today as before. We have seen and heard people jump onto Wenger’s back on more than one occasion (in fact, plenty of occasions). This is a coach who has won us a “Double” twice!
Bergkamp, Vieira, Adams, or even Henry, et al have all left an almost perfect image in fans’ mind. They are the Arsenal legends. Perhaps it’s...

Update: I will have a couple (3 to be exact) of the brand new Arsenal America t-shirts with me for sale! First come, first serve!
OK, Bay Area Gooners . . .
The San Francisco Branch of Arsenal America invites you to turn out and cheer the Gunners on in their first real test of the season as they travel to Anfield for this Sunday’s match against Liverpool!
We’re aware that some local supporters favor Mad Dog in the Fog, but we’re going to be trying out a relatively new location for this occasion.
Maggie McGarrys, a pub...
