Apologies fellow gunners for the lack of blog coverage over the last few matches of the season, but such has been the disappointment over the way our season fizzled out – I haven’t felt up to it. Losing Campbell, Pires and Bergkamp has massively damaged the squad and speculation over summer transfers is not looking positive. As ...

Middlesbrough have agreed a deal with Arsenal to sign French striker Jeremie Aliadiere in the wake of Mark Viduka's departure from the Riverside. A move and fee has been agreed "in principle" and will be completed in the next couple of weeks when the 24-year-old returns from holiday. Probably the right thing to do for his career. ...

  We put in another below-par performance resulting in a dull draw. Our last 0-0 was 15 months ago. The continued absence of Thierry and Robin proves to be a devastating blow to our attack — Adebayor was substituted for Jérémie Aliadiãre but neither really looking like producing the goods. Arsene said we ...

We move into third place in the Premiership after Diaby gives us a win at Aston Villa. We were fortunate to get the win – but as we have learnt to our cost this season that sometime victory is all that matters. Aliadiere missed far too many chances for us and although you could argue after 10 minutes when Baptista’s shot was going ...

  A denied penalty, several missed chances and a late Blackburn goal knocks us out of the FA. Damn. Having suffered the difficult to swallow defeat in the Carling Cup final on Sunday, this FA Cup fifth-round replay was a perfect opportunity to bounce back, but instead we are again left to dwell on missed chances and what could have been. ...

Our young guns do us proud although Chelsea come from behind to win the Carling Cup. Well, it was always a win-win situation for every arsenal supporter as far as I am concerned. The Carling Cup has always used to groom our young players, but this year, reaching the final, taking out several first team premiership clubs along the way is a ...

Blackburn's defensive gameplan and some brilliant goalkeeping from Friedel hold us to a draw and a replay. The match was overall quite flat and failed to live up to the expectations given the 6 goals we put past them early this season, but their tactics to defend so deep meant that even with our flair, only so often could we penetrate and ...

Freddie kept a cool head to slot home a left-foot finish in extra time and put us through to the FA Cup fifth round. Adebayor scored an early goal after our typical multiple-pass build up lead to his 15-yards shot taking a deflection and going in. We dominated the majority of the match with some awesome play (showing no care in the world about ...

Jeremie Aliadiere and Tomas Rosicky each grabbed a goal in extra time to see off Spurs and book our place in the Carling Cup final against Chelsea. Our young guns thoroughly deserved the win  after dominating position for almost the entire match and they played with the experience of a much older team. We took the lead late into the ...
