If you were realistic before going into this game, you knew that there was pretty much only one likely result yesterday, and it wasn’t in favour of Arsenal.
Arsenal succumed to a physically imposing Stoke City who sensed a chance for an ‘upset’ and duly took it. Arsenal did not cover themselves in glory at all [...]

A quick FA Cup preview before I totter off to bed – and miss the match as a result, dammit.
Given our well-documented Satan’s Run of Fixtures coming up, we all know the need to rotate the side going into our away match against Stoke.

Arsenal showed a thrilling fillip of character to stage a mighty comeback and deny Bolton a shock win at the Emirates.
After going down criminally by two goals in 30 minutes, the Gunners fought back with a vengeance, laying waste to Bolton and ending top of the table.
Poor defending from Diaby, Rosicky and Clichy allowed Gary [...]

The prospect of going top of the league hasn’t presented itself too often to Arsenal over the last few years. While not nearly as bad as Liverpool or Spurs – with more false dawns than I have fingers and toes – we’ve had our hopes cruelly twisted before, and while I’m not getting ahead of [...]

At last, a game! At least, that is unless the snow knocks on the terraces’ door once more. Fingers crossed.
