If there’s one story that will some up Arsenal’s season so far, it comes in the form of a most magnificent creature.
Perhaps I’m getting all Colonel SS Hans Landa on you, here, but allow me this simple analogy. Arsenal’s season seems to have been directed by the all powerful God of Cockroaches. You can lob [...]

Nicklas Bendtner broke Hull hearts (and left us all laughing as a result) as Arsenal waited until the grim end to keep us in the title race and send a despicable team closer to relegation.
The Tigers did well enough today to get a draw against the Arsenal, but as things are, the Gunners fought tooth and nail [...]

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.

A quick FA Cup preview before I totter off to bed – and miss the match as a result, dammit.
