Inept Arsenal Had No Desire For NLD - Match Report

Match Review: Sp*rs 2 Arsenal 1 - Premier League 07.02.14

Losing the North London Derby is a terrible feeling. The manner we lost this one in was especially bad too as Tottenham ran out deserved victors and Arsenal delivered a performance of all too familiar ineptitude. For whatever reason, this team seems to crumble when they’re given a serious challenge away from home. It really upset and angered me yesterday that players like Ryan Mason, Harry Kane and Danny Rose seemed desperate to win, yet I can’t say I saw the same burning desire in any of our players. We were weak, we rolled over and lost a very important game in the race for Champions League football.

Match Review - Arsenal 5-0 Aston Villa - Premier League: 01/02/15

Aston Villa have been surviving for a while on being the best of a bad bunch. The last three seasons have seen finishes of 15th, 15th and 16th, flirting with relegation and this current season is doing nothing to buck the trend. In fact, Aston Villa have been so poor that they have scored the least goals of any of the 92 football league teams. So it's no surprise that an Arsenal team that didn't really hit anywhere near their top level trounced the Midlands team with ease.

Match Review: Brighton 2 Arsenal 3 - FA Cup - 25.01.14

After what was one of the craziest Saturday’s in the history of FA Cup, Arsenal managed to avoid being one of the giants slain. There was certainly potential for a shock, but we kept the home side at arms length for most of the game, even if we did gift them a couple of goals. With both City and Chelsea falling and Liverpool with a difficult replay to negotiate, the FA Cup is once again a golden opportunity to finish the season with silverware.
