The Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers – Top versus bottom, but taken nothing for granted
Expectations are high heading into this one. After the painful defeat at Villa Park a week ago, Arsenal couldn’t have hoped for a better game to return to Premier League action, as the team rock bottom of the Premier League, Wolves, come to town. The League’s basement club have had a wretched start to the…

Aston Villa vs The Arsenal – Player Ratings – Top teams do not lose games in stoppage time.
That was a mantra that I heard when I was first getting into football and it’s something that has stuck with me even since – top teams do not lose games in stoppage time. I’m harping back to the late 90s now when Arsenal and Manchester United were slugging it out at the summit of…

The Arsenal vs Bayern Munich 3-1 – Player Ratings
This is a special, special Arsenal team we are watching right now. I must admit I went into this one with a bit of trepidation as Bayern’s record this season, albeit mostly in the German league which is obviously no Premier League, is scary good with an average of more than 3 goals scored a…
