Just wanted to post something to capture any talk regarding the European games, some goal scoring stats or other Arsenal related topics:
Champs League:
Game 1: Man Utd vs Barca
It will be interesting to see if Barca can salvage their season at Old Trafford. Although a goal scoring draw will do for Barca and draws has been something they have had plenty of in La Liga. Barca’s 10 ties is the most of any of the top 5 teams.
Game 2: Guess the Score?
The last 7 Champs League ties between Liverpool & Chelsea have ended with the following scores:...

Adebayor’s hat-trick plus goals from Van Persie, Bendtner & Walcott earned Arsenal a 6-2 away win and moved the Gunners to within 4 points of Man Utd and Chelsea at the top of the table.
In the opening 20 minutes or so, Derby had a decent spell putting Arsenal under pressure. Things changed in the 25th minute when Moore gave the ball straight to Bendtner who put Arsenal ahead in the 25th minute after exchanging passes with Van Persie. Unfortunately, the lead didn’t last too long as a set-piece led to Derby’s McEveley tying things up (31st min). But Van Persie restored...

Two Previews — LDE’s take is after the following
Ah the irony. Arsenal get a long break in between league games when they don’t need it.Ofcourse, the break also means the team should be ready for their 36th league game, provided most of them are not already thinking of vacation. Since after Chelsea’s win on Saturday and Liverpool’s dropped points, this Monday night game is important because a win would mean:
Now, if Arsenal along...

It seems every time Henry has a bad touch of the ball, two articles get written in Spain describing Henry’s failure. Considering that Henry gave Arsenal fans so many great memories, it is not very pleasant to see Henry criticized so much. Negative articles about him were being written in the first half of the season but recently they have increased as end of the European season approaches. So in a way it was very refreshing to see a mini documentary film on Henry on the Independent Film Channel (IFC) last month. The film was directed by the lovely Paz Vega (yes the actress) and was...

Here is the first in a series of articles talking about Squad changes.
At this time we should all be aware our current squad has deficiencies in terms of makeup, numbers of reliable squad players, player positioning and a preponderance of injuries. Our current deficiencies are:
1. Lack of height in the DMF and at CB.
2. Lack of a true, pacey winger who can score goals consistently.
3. Many players playing out of position.
4. Lack of all round veteran leadership to steady the “Young Guns”.
5. A Medical/Conditioning staff which seems unable...

Arsenal finally put a win in the home games column matching the scoreline of their last home win against Blackburn. In the end, it looked like a routine victory that Arsenal were getting in the first half of the season but given how the past few weeks have been, it was a much needed win.
The game started off slowly but somewhere around the 25th minute mark or so, Arsenal’s play noticeably moved up a few gears. Theo raced on with purpose and it appeared that a goal was in the offering. The now familiar corner routine between Cesc and Van Persie provided a genuine chance in the...

Even though less than a week has gone by since the Man Utd game, it feels a lot longer. Because last sunday’s game carried the weight of not only the previous 7 weeks, but also the expectations of an entire season. Even if Arsenal played quite well against Man Utd, when the final whistle blew it signaled not only the end of 90 minutes but any chances of silverware this year.
Still, the league calendar shows that there are 4 games remaining and 12 points to be won. Everton’s defeat on Thursday confirmed that Arsenal will finish no lower than 4th and will compete in the Champs...

Note: This article was submitted before Monday’s Chelsea game. Also, there are quite a few submissions regarding end of season talks and possible transfer targets. Those should go up in upcoming weeks..
Now that another trophyless season is confirmed, there is very little to play for. Even second place looks difficult with a 6-point gap to Chelsea, if they win over Wigan. We have a 5-point lead over Liverpool which we should be able to hold as Liverpool are involved in the CL. Even if it doesn’t, what’s the worst that can happen - 4th place and a possible 15...
