Arsenal 1-2 Man Utd: Could we borrow some full-back funds from Rosie47?

Arsenal fell short for the sixth time in seven games against Manchester United due to a late Danny Welbeck winner after Robin van Persie equalised for The Gunners. This marks Arsenal’s third loss in a row and is the first time they have lost three straight since 2007. With both teams attempting to play on the break, the flow of the game went up and down at times, but ultimately it was two key tactical errors that ended up dooming the home side. (more…)

Thierry Henry 1-0 Leeds: Some weird bearded guy keeps us in the cup

Football may be the world’s greatest sport, but it is only the odd match that captivates its audience for a full 90 minutes.

Fulham 2-1 Arsenal & Arsenal 1-0 QPR: Double trouble as injuries mount up
