A relatively easy win at the Cottage today as two first-half headed goals by Emmanuel Adebayor and a 80th minute volley by Tomas Rosicky paced the Gunners to a 3-0 win away at Fulham earlier today.
(Have to run out to help a friend move, so I’m afraid that’s all I have to time to post right now. If Dan or whomever wants to add more, please by all means, have at it!)

No internet access at home since Thursday makes Mike a very grumpy man. Being on the phone with Comcast a total of 4.5 hours over that same time frame makes Mike almost unbearable to be around. Having to leave work early today in order to let the technicians in to figure out what’s wrong leaves me fuming.
Yet, that doesn’t compare to what it must have been like to be around me immediately following Saturday’s game against Birmingham City. I know you guys have all discussed it already, but if I might vent for just a second.
I think Arsene nailed it on the head...

In a match not without controversy, an offside goal by Spurs was cancelled out by what may have been a hand-of-Walcott equalizer 12 minutes from time as an underperforming Arsenal drew 1-1 with Spuds in the 1st leg of the Carling Cup Semis tonight at the Grove.
As nice as it was to hear the chants of “You’ll Never Beat The Arsenal!”, Arsenal really were crap for the majority of the match, and should count themselves quite lucky to have gotten a result at all.
Spuds’ away goal looms large, but there’s still reason to be confident that the Gunners will...

Goals from Eduardo and Nick Bendtner see the Gunners through to the fourth round as Arsenal win away to Burnley in today’s FA Cup 3rd Round match.
Fielding a slightly stronger Carling Cup side, Arsene Wenger’s men seemed to never really get out of first gear. That didn’t seem to matter though, as nine minutes in, Eduardo ran onto a looping lob by Kolo Toure to beat the Burnley defense and cooly slot the ball past the keeper and into the net.
One - nil up, and you thought perhaps there would be more where that came from, but Burnley were up for it, playing their...

Two first half goals from Eduardo and Adebayor were enough to see the Gunners through as they beat West Ham at the Grove this New Years Day.
Dudu’s goal came just three minutes into the match, and honestly, it never really seemed as though West Ham were going to get back into the match. Ade’s goal in the 19th minute confirmed those suspicions.
Right, that’s about all I can muster at the moment - I’m going back to bed. Happy New Year everyone!

A performance at Goodison Park that needs no further elaboration. 4 shots - 4 goals. How many times have we said that about an Arsenal team?
It’s West Ham up next and if I remember correctly, they’re the only team to have done the double over Arsenal and Man United last year. Anyway the past is best forgotten and history while helpful is useless when it comes to the game; unless people are psychologically bogged down by a bogey team. If we for example don’t get all 3 tomorrow the media will start blabbing about bogey teams conveniently forgetting that ManU are in a...

A second half Dudu double helps the Gunners pull themselves off the mat for a 4-1 come from behind victory away at Everton on Saturday.
After a first half to forget about, Arsenal found themselves 1-0 down at the half thanks to a 19th minute goal by Tim Cahill. The second half was a completely different story, as Eduardo da Silva opened his league account with a goal just one minute after the re-start.
With the score on level terms, it was Arsenal who were in the ascendancy, and after 58 minutes, it was 2-1 Arsenal thanks to a cool finish by the Crozillian.
Nick Bendtner...

It seems that both sides were still as hungover as I was yesterday, as a drab 0-0 draw was an anti-climatic ending to my Christmas vacation. Tomas Rosicky did have a few good chances, but it seemed that no one could kick up a gear. As a result, the Gunners drop to second in the table, but as Arsene says, it’s
“…not that big a deal”.

Manuel Almunia’s huge save from a Robbie Keane penalty midway through the second half proved the turning point in a highly entertaining North London derby this morning.
After a tight, but goalless first half, Arsenal came out with great intensity in the second half. The intensity paid off when Cesc Fabregas’ slick back heel enabled Emmanuel Adebayor to maintain his amazing scoring record against Spurs. He now has six goals in six games against Tottenham.
It seemed that after the goal, Arsenal took their collective foot off the gas, and slowly but surely, Spurs...

Arsenal post a two goal lead, let it fitter away, go down to ten men, and then come back in dramatic fashion in extra time to win tonight’s Carling Cup quarter-final at Blackburn.
The young Arsenal side looked in top form as Abou Diaby, and then Eduardo both scored to put the Gunners up early. However, Blackburn were up for it, and came roaring back so that with about 30 minutes left in the match, the score was tied 2-2.
The match was all set to go to extra time when Denilson, who was already carrying a yellow card for an early challenge, made a stupid tackle and got a...
