Newcastle being credited with a good defensive display against Arsenal

It’s interesting that we are being credited with a good defensive display last night, even by Wenger, although I personally thought our defending in the 1st half was dreadful with only poor final balls and finishing by Arsenal keeping us level.

Davide Santon and Theo Walcott challenges for the ball

Santon was...

Man at the match, Chary: Krul’s karma comeback

For once footballing justice was seen to be done where a side wasting time to hang on to a draw had left Ashburton Grove with exactly what they deserved – nothing. Aided by referee Webb (aka Fergie’s rent boy) who was happy to let Krul take an eternity for every restart in play, the Toon...

Liverpool 1-2 Arsenal: this is Anfield

Her Majesty’s Mental Health Office regrets to inform you that as of 2:45 pm GMT 3 March 2012 the owner of this blog, one “Tim”, was found in Anfield curled up in the fetal position, with an insane grin on his face. Tim is doing well for the moment, though we are keeping him for...

Arsenal 5-2 Tottenham: this is what football is all about

This is what it means to be a real supporter. That nervous energy, that giddy laughter, those moments when you’re sitting on the train to work and you break out into a giant grin as you recall the thumping sound of Sagna’s header… It was a crazy game, at the end of a crazy week,...

Defining Moments

Defining moments can be temporary, they can be permanent, they can come suddenly, and they can also be seen from afar. This is because there are many different moments which define many different outcomes. Almost as many as there are people looking at the topic I would say.

There are even defining moments within a defining...

Man at the match, Chary: Rovers given a spanking by rampant Arsenal.

A Blackburn side without their two main pillars of attack and defence (Yakubu and Samba respectively) where dismantled by an Arsenal attack that were unrecognisable as the one that failed to score at Bolton earlier in the week.

Having kept an eye out for legions of spectators making their way to Ashburton Grove with bin bags...

Arsenal v. Man U: mounting

Ahead of a vital clash with Manchester United tomorrow, I find myself in the unusual position of being probably the most frustrated I have ever felt as an Arsenal supporter. I’m frustrated with Arsenal’s injury record, with Arsenal’s transfer business, with the referees this season, and with the press coverage of Arsenal.

The injury record is something...

Glen Johnson tackle highlights problems with Premier League referees

Roberto Mancini has every right to be upset. His team’s captain, Vincent Kompany, and hands down best defender is sitting out four games after getting a red card for a foul that is inconsistently called at best. Sitting on the sidelines and watching Glen Johnson commit what is arguably the exact same offense and not...

A sad day for Liverpool

Details from the report by the Football Association’s independent commission that examined Patrice Evra’s accusations that Luis Suarez racially abused him are laid out logically and reasons for Suarez’ subsequent eight game ban clearly delineated. In the end this was a case of “he said, she said” and the commission believed Evra over Suarez because...
