5 reasons why Arsenal are leading the Premiership

Tottenham 5-1 Arsenal: The scoreline says it all
2008-01-23 12:40:00 Well, I’m not sure anybody expected that. I know I didn’t. But Tottenham ’s eight-year winless streak against Arsenal is over and they did it in some style.

Diarra not wrong, just lacking ambition
2008-01-16 07:50:00 The slow news week for Arsenal continues to roll on with team and transfer news more difficult to find than my TV remote control. I’ve been pretty unwell of late and spent all of yesterday in bed and most of today on the couch bored out of my brain so both are equally irritating. With the ... More About: Wrong , Ambition
Arsenal defend from the front
2007-12-18 09:08:00 Quite a few Arsenal players have been in a chatty mood after the important victory over Chelsea on the weekend.

That Hleb photo again as the ?Katita? mystery is solved
2007-12-04 08:25:00 I’ll kick things off today by saying that I really feel for Alexander Hleb every time he gets injured. Not because he misses out on games, not because he’s probably in severe pain, but because every single time he does, every website on the planet digs up that awful picture of him getting taken out against West Ham. ...

Unfamiliar Arsenal should make light work of Wigan
2007-11-23 06:31:00 It’s back to Arsenal news after yesterday’s post on the English national team, but in all honesty things don’t read too well for the weekend Premiership clash with Wigan .

The best players don?t make the best team
2007-11-22 08:31:00 England have missed out on qualification for Euro 2008 and few people could argue that it wasn’t exactly what they deserved.

Hoyte gives lesson in loyalty and integrity
2007-11-20 08:18:00 Loyalty and integrity are rare and precious personality traits in a modern-day footballer. Justin Hoyte seems like a young man blessed with both.

Please Arsene, persist with Eduardo
2007-10-23 11:46:00 I must apologise; three and a half days between blog posts is unacceptable. In my defence, though, things have been insanely busy.

What is Arsenal?s best starting team?
2007-10-18 09:17:00 Things are getting pretty boring, so I thought I’d throw out a question that might get a bit of hearty, non-England-losing-to-Russia related discussion going. It’s a pretty simple actually, but one that I think will divide opinion amongst a lot of supporters: When the entire squad is available, what is Arsenal ’s best starting team?

More articles from this author:2007-10-17 09:50:00 It seems that the common joke about Arsenal midfielder Tomas Rosicky being made of glass might be a little closer to the truth than expected.
