Three points to start - Sunday round-up

08:12 PM, Sunday, 17 August 2008

So the season starts with a win, three points and a reasonable performance given the understrength nature of the side, particularly in midfield. There's nothing like an early goal to settle the nerves and that's exactly what we got. It was a lovely goal too. Bendtner played...

Match Review - Arsenal v W.B.A.

03:58 AM, Sunday, 17 August 2008

Hi all, There have been no blog posts since the Stuttgart friendly simply because I am lazy. I have a lot to write but none of them are written. I hate type Chinese, so I write in English this time. The 2008/2009 Premier League season starts...

So the new season begins....

08:03 PM, Saturday, 16 August 2008

and I hold more optimism at the start of this season, than I did at the start of last season. Then again I didn't foresee the team transformation in the wake of Henry's departure, it really did allow us to vary our style of play and ultimately to become less predictable not always looking to...

Now For the Real Thing!

10:52 AM, Tuesday, 12 August 2008

It is indeed a hectic week by all means. The Malaysia Cup has reached the semi-finals with my local team, Terengganu had to endure a penalty shoot-out against Perlis before coming out on top with a 7-6 win. Our young goalkeeper, Mohamad Sharbini Allawee stopped three penalties and...

The new season approaches... but what happened this summer?

06:32 AM, Tuesday, 12 August 2008

Just a few days until our season starts with the Champions League qualifier against McLaren’s men, FC Twente. Most of the team you would think picks itself, if injury free, with just the central midfield position next to Cesc still a major talking point amongst fans. But another position which ma...

A real concern going into the season...

09:37 PM, Saturday, 09 August 2008

Well last night saw us beat Ajax 3-2 in a game of two halves. At half time we were losing to a 2-0 defecit, only for us to 'do a Bolton' and turn it round to a 3-2 victory. Yes it was entertaining, yes it was exciting (even if it was a friendly) but there are still some very concerning signs...

Ajax win, RVP&Walcott, Ade

09:18 PM, Saturday, 09 August 2008

Yesterday we saw a great comeback from the Arsenal Team, Adebayor was leading the way with some nice and powerful strikes. Going forward I think we are well covered, but RVP really needs to step up a few. Defensively we are pore, the premier teams will punish us big time...

Sorry but it's very late here in Basel as I write my blog but I had  most of the morning without internet access as the DSL line was down here in Kaiseraugst. It recovered but not in time to allow me to write a normal blog. Anyway here is the local info from... Posted by BaselGooner · Comments (0) Topics: Arsenal,Emmanuel Adebayor,Nicklas Bendtner

All Quite on the Western European Front today ... oh and stuff on Inler

12:51 AM, Wednesday, 06 August 2008

Not much going on around here in the middle of Europe today. I did, for a moment, cheer up when I saw a headline in L'Equipe saying that the lovely old French player, Diarra, was injured. However, it turned out that he was only lightly injured and will be fit for the Charity Shield this...

Adebayor and Van Persie... the most effective partnership for Arsenal?

06:54 AM, Tuesday, 05 August 2008

Well, suppose I had better quickly mention the Emirates Cup... it looked very much like the preseason tournament it was, some slow lazy performances, but a few players looking to make that impression. Of course Ade wanted to win round the fans so insisted on taking the match winning penalty...
