Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal

ChelseaWhat a game! From the first second to the last, a furious battle. I’d watch a game like that any day, despite the wrong outcome with the score. That shot from Essien was indeed beautiful, but it probably should never have been taken, since there was a blatant foul on Hleb only moments before (by none other than Ashley Cole) which should have stopped play. Oh well, you get some calls, and some you don’t. The referees can’t see everything I suppose. A terrific performance by the Gunners no matter how you slice it.

So, in their two meetings with the top two sides in the Prem, the Gunners have brought their A Game on the other side’s home pitch and come away with one point from the Bridge, and three points from Old Trafford. Not bad at all. I can’t wait to meet both these teams again at Emirates

How embarrassing…

How’d you like to be this defense?

Arsenal 3-0 Tottenham

Tottenham HotspurWay to go Gunners! Back on track with this one, and a derby at that. It’s always nice to stick it to the neighbors, wouldn’t you say? Two PKs from Gilberto and another from Adebayor sealed this one up. We get to enjoy the 3rd slot for at least another few hours!

Please excuse the lack of updates to my EPL table at right. The wife is expecting any second now, so I’m on baby watch!

Fulham 2-1 Arsenal

FulhamDidn’t get to see this one, but a disappintment nonetheless. I think this injuries are hurting us just at the worst time.
