Sunderland 1-1 Arsenal: the emergency match report
2008-10-05 04:40:00 Urgh - another disappointing result. Things were made a little bit better when Cesc Fabregas headed a late, late equaliser but for my money this outcome was just as disappointing as the game against Hull a week ago. I have to admit that although I stayed up until 2am to watch the game, the stream I ... More About: Arsenal , Report , Sunderland , Match , Premier league
Arsenal 4-0 Porto: a good response, Helton a clown and Walcott a beetle
2008-10-01 09:40:00 What a difference a couple of days make. Arsenal are back on track after their weekend blip against Hull City, smashing four goals with no reply past a hopeless Porto side at the Emirates.

?Scared? Toure has to be dropped for the good of the team + Arsenal-Porto p
2008-09-30 10:27:00 I awoke today to read some of the most bizarre quotes uttered by an Arsenal player I have ever heard.

Sometimes people, not the players, play the ... More About: The Team , Team , Porto
Arsenal 1-2 Hull: defeats OK as long as we avoid draws
2008-09-29 01:52:00 Well that wasn’t exactly the result we were expecting, was it? For those who went away to the moon for the weekend, Arsenal have dropped to fourth on the table after losing 2-1 at home to Hull City on Saturday afternoon. That’s right, Hull City. And yes, at home. Ugh. Before I give my thoughts on Arsenal, it should ... More About: Long , Avoid
The return of The Gooner Gazette
2008-09-25 10:48:00 Hello all. I have to be incredibly speedy today because somehow I’ve found myself at an internet cafe at Byron Bay and I have very limited time.

Arsenal kids slay Sheffield + Platini should shut his pie-hole
2008-09-24 09:40:00 Poor Sheffield United - beaten 6-0 by an Arsenal team with an average age of only 19. You have to feel for them because, on paper, it’s almost embarassing. But in reality, they shouldn’t feel too bad because this Arsenal side probably would have beaten West Ham by six goals. I didn’t get to see the game ... More About: Kids , Hole , Shut

The Arsenal players are starting to enjoy themselves
2008-09-22 09:21:00 Well, wasn’t that just an absolutely stupendous weekend? I thought Liverpool and Chelsea would both win but after the pair failed to take maximum points and Arsenal served up a 3-1 victory over Bolton it is our boys who sit on top of the league. And don’t they just deserve it? The performance against Bolton was ... More About: Players , Enjoy , The Arsenal

Arsenal flog Blackburn but the defence looks creaky
2008-09-15 10:41:00 Hello and a happy Monday to you all. Arsenal continued their impressive run of form since the loss to Fulham with a comprehensive 4-0 victory over Blackburn Rovers on Saturday afternoon. The starting side was as close to full-strength as it has been all season as Manuel Almunia started in goals behind the first-choice back four of Bacary ... More About: Defence
Adebayor rumours were always going to be rubbish
2008-06-07 09:02:00 Today sees the first match of Euro 2008 being played between Switzerland and Czech Republic and a second game between Portugal and Turkey. It should be an excellent night of football. For the record, I’m expecting the hosts to snatch a point off a talented Czech side and the Cristiano Ronaldo-led Portuguese side to beat ...

Arsenal bid for Zapata - Everton to nick Ramsay? - Ljungberg still an angel
2008-06-05 09:49:00 I love Fredrik Ljungberg. Always have, always will.

2008-06-04 09:08:00 If there is ever an indication that things are quiet in the world of Arsenal it is when Arseblogger has nothing to talk about.

Djourou in midfield? - Nasri stars for France - Fabregas gets No10 - Hleb t
2008-05-28 09:47:00 First things first today I just want to say a big ‘thank-you’ to all the Aussie Arsenal supporters who left their comments on yesterday’s post - they were most appreciated. Cheers also to the other supporters around the world who left their thoughts as well. It’s amazing to think this blog has readers from Mexico, France , Switzerland and South Africa (to name but a few) as well as virtually every major city - and some not so major - in Australia. The idea to develop some sort of a pub community in Australia via the blog seems to be something that a lot of you want to get involved in and as such I will pursue the potential with the folks at Arsenal Australia. I’ll let you know how things progress. Moving on now and virtually all of the Arsenal news around the place at the moment relates to Euro 2008. The tournament kicks off in just over ten days and with a multitude of Arsenal players on show in Switzerland and Austria it will be essential vie... More About: Stars , Fabregas , Nasri
Calling all Australian Arsenal supporters
2008-05-27 09:15:00 No news to speak of today so I thought I’d set you, the regular readers of the Arsenal FC Blog with a little homework task. For those that aren’t aware - and I’m sure there are quite a few of you - despite being an Arsenal supporter I am a born and bred Australian who resides in Brisbane. See for yourself. The reason for telling you this is that I am very interested in promoting the community of Arsenal supporters in Australia through this very blog. There are a undoubtedly a lot of great Arsenal blogs on the internet - Arseblog, Gunnerblog, Goodplaya, The Cannon, A Cultured Left Foot to name just a few - but to my knowledge the Arsenal FC Blog is the only blog from Australia that is consistently updated and has a reasonable readership. Taking this into account I see quite a good opportunity to use this blog to promote the Arsenal community in Australia. For those that aren’t aware, there is an official Arsenal Australia community that does a similar thin... More About: Calling , Supporters
