Arsenal bounce back…Chelsea lose and Utd stagger

Feb 11th, 2010 | Source: Free Kicker | Category: Arsenal latest news

Gunners revived their hopes of posing a challenge to the top two with a victory over a resurgent Liverpool. Arsenal played poorly in the first half and scored the only goal of the match through a Diaby header in the second half. There was nothing great

In a serious setback to Arsenal’s remaining season aspirations, Van Persie got injured in a meaningless friendly against Italy…Persie was regaining his best form when this nonsense had to happen…Preliminary reports say 3 months layoff



Welcome back Rosicky for the Man City game

Sep 12th, 2009 | Source: Free Kicker | Category: Arsenal latest news

Arsenal take on Man City at Eastlands with two of our previous players playing against us. Toure is captain for this match and Adebayor will be all charged up for this match. Lets hope both of them have a poor match.
The most important thing that



Arsenal Season preview -2

Aug 12th, 2009 | Source: Free Kicker | Category: Arsenal latest news

Arsenal have had some very imposing players in the centre of the park and ahead…but recently Wenger seems to prefer players of smaller physical stature, but nimble to adjust with the passing play of the team. So which is why we do not have a

Sorry for the blogging delay in between…not that I was very busy with work or anything, I was just not feeling like blogging. Was travelling on the weekends or was not in a mood to type anything. So today while I was sitting late in office thought

Chelsea beat us fair and square and next years CL entry

May 12th, 2009 | Source: Free Kicker | Category: Arsenal latest news

I do not think we can complain about the 4-1 loss to Chelsea at home…our biggest loss this season and that too coming after 20 unbeaten games in the premier league. We had our chances and Walcott missed a number of them after creating them and Diaby made the wrong choice by going for a [...]

The match came late night in India and I was watching it alone, sitting on every piece of furniture in my living room after every goal we score,hoping that my new [...]



Arsenal in Champions League semis

Apr 16th, 2009 | Source: Free Kicker | Category: Arsenal latest news

Its been a while since I blogged but I should put in a word for the entry into the semi finals of the Champions league where we take on a lacklustre Manchester United. Villareal were without their influential midfielder Senna and Arsenal has three of their back four injured and Fabianski at goal.
Walcott had one [...]
