Arsenal FC

Football is awash with statistics. Goals for and goals against, average points per game and territorial advantages. I will start with 2.10. That is Arsenal’s average points per game this season. After 29 games, Arsenal has 19 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. Our record against Manchester United and Chelsea stands at: played 7, won 0, drawn 1, lost 6, scored 2, and conceded 14.

They Are Same-Same But Different!

I have had this thought lingering in my mind for quiet some time now. Barcelona play the same style of football that our beloved Arsenal plays. They attack, attack and attack, just like we do. But they are sitting on a pile of trophies and we, on the other hand, are sitting on our arse, for half a decade now. What is the reason behind this unfortunate disparity. We @11G dwell into the same..

Time To Give Chelsea The 'Blues'!?

Whilst many a faithful have been busy cursing the cruel fixture list which entitled us to face the likes of Aston Villa, Manchester United, Chelsea & Liverpool over a span of little under three weeks; the optimists would have seen this as an opportunity to break from the pack & stamp one’s authority on the ever-so unpredictable nature of the league. Two games down the mini-league (i.e. the quartet of AVFC, MUFC, CFC & LFC), we see ourselves up by a solitary point, & down by more than just moral. As we build up to the massive duel with our trans-London rivals Chelsea, 11G looks into this game with the ‘6-points’ at stake, & the 6 things Arsenal must set right if they are to regain their momentum & with it, their aspirations to become ‘Champions’ come May..

It's Arsenal..It's United..It's 3D!

This coming Sunday, the battle lines will be clearly ear-marked as the Gunners face the ‘Red Dolls’ on their own turf i.e. the Emirates. Unlike the last few seasons, when the fixture was of not much consequence, it will be this time, if bare statistics are to be kept in mind. Points or otherwise, this rivalry has been the cream of the lot, right through the noughties, & it shall be no different in two days time. 11G looks forward to the ‘big one’ with the latest filtering in..

Celebrations Shall Take Over

It has been a difficult time as an Arsenal fan and tomorrow’s is one fixture where we need to win more desperately then we probably ever did. Given any other day, i would have comfortably predicted an Arsenal rout but this is not any other day. It is going to be a challenge, can the players put back the disappointments of the weeks before and show their true class and calibre or shall we sink deeper into the realms of ignominy.

Here Comes The 'Whore'!

It’s never a happy time when the team you support isn’t doing well on the field of play. November has been a horrible month for Arsenal fans and I believe most people are glad to see its back. Now it will soon be December and fans want to see an evidence of a change in fortune – like progressing to the semi-finals of the Carling Cup.

Arsenal Will Chelsea The 'Blues'..

In every campaign there comes a time when things change forever and we love to call that moment “the turning point” of the campaign. This game is the biggest game of the season for us and it is shame that we are facing a game of such importance when the season has not even reached midway. If we lose this one then there is no point in waiting and we can as well give the trophy to the Blues just after the game. Lets preview the game the 11Gunners‘ way..
