The positive
1. We are top. Thanks to the Kiev-Fenerbahce draw, we are alone at the top with 4 points with Porto second, and believe me, Porto are poor.
2. Nasri. It’s great to have him back …

The score tells it all. The boys went out there, ready to put last Saturday’s defeat behind them, and they did. The goals, ironically, came from the two who were most criticized only days ago.

The …

Half-time report
Earlier on, I was watching Real Madrid and noticed how they drive forward in numbers and lack in the backline. We’re very, very similar and we’re turning into one of those Brazilian national teams …

The beauty of the Champions League, sometimes, is that you can immediately put behind you an awful display like last Saturday’s and hope to bring things back to normal, at least in Europe. Tomorrow it …

Allow me to start by giving the thumbs up to Hull City for their gutsy performance. History tells you that when you are promoted, in the first year, you have to fight to stay there. …

The positive
Nothing positive to get out of such a depressing performance.

The negative
1. The backline. Wenger may as well hide the problems we have there after 0-4 or 1-3 wins, but I can’t. We needed a …

It just can’t get more awful that today. As if Fulham and Bolton were not enough to exploit big problems at the backline, now it was Hull’s turn to take full advantage of our terrible …

Half-time report
It’s been a frustrating half to say the least. Hull City are really defending well and counter-attacking when they have a chance. But, we go into the dressing room with a number of chances …

We all know about last summer’s speculation about A.C. Milan and Emmanuel Adebayor and we all know how close Emmanuel was to sign for them. Had he signed, it would have been three Gunners, in …

Vela warning for young …

What was witnessed yesterday at the Emirates was another message to all those who believe you need cash to win trophies. I don’t really care if we’re trophyless for years, Wenger’s mentality is showing that …

By looking at the score line, it hurts even more not having been able to watch the match. I kept on talking about Vela for the last couple of days and it seemed he played …

It’s Carling Cup time and it’s time to unleash the youngsters. I love it when the young ones get their chance to shine and it’ll be great to see Carlos Vela on which I have …

Sometimes you reach a stage where you have to totally forget the past and focus on the future. We have reached such a position: the defeat against Fulham is history; we are now top, alone …

The positive
1. WE’RE TOP! We go top following Liverpool’s disappointing 0-0 draw at home against Stoke City.
2. Adebayor. Yet again, he made sure to go out there, forget whatever happened in the summer and work …

Brilliant, brilliant performance. This is how you beat a side like Bolton away from home. If you look at their dressing room’s white board you will see three instructions:
1. Win free-kicks
2. Win corners
3. Hit it …

Half-time report
Will 15 minutes be enough to summarize such a half? We knew what it would have been like to play at the Reebok and Bolton didn’t fail to do so: long balls and a …

It’s the third away match in a row for the boys. Having won at Blackburn and failed to win at Kiev, it’s time to go to the always-tough Reebok stadium to face Bolton. The match …

Last night was a night of disappointment and relief which I will try to analyse after a good night’s sleep. Arsene Wenger spoke about the way Walcott was treated by defenders:
The referee should have sent …

The positive
1. Wenger’s line-up was perfect, with Song ahead of the back four. A shame we didn’t take advantage when we had chances though.
2. We rescued a draw, better than nothing
3. Porto won and our …

When you get a shot at goal, you have to take it. We managed to rescue a point in a match which could have gone either way. The first half missed chances from both our …

Half-time report
We end the first half we a lot of regrets for a couple of missed chances. Almunya was untroubled the whole half as we were the ones created the most important chances of …
