<b>I have been following Arsenal since about 1998. In the beginning I knew very little about the club and it's history. In fact, like many back then who were new to following the team, I initially thought that Arsene Wenger's name was somehow related to the team he managed.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>All these years later I now consider myself an Arsenal aficionado. I have been to England on a number of occasion to see Arsenal play live: including Highbury, The Emirates, away at Charlton, <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/fa_cup/3349313.stm">Leeds in the FA Cup</a> and Southampton. The first goal I saw live was a penalty from Marc Overmars to give Arsenal a <a href="http://www.skysports.com/football/charlton-vs-arsenal/277923">0-1 victory away at The Valley</a> after Patrick Vieira had received a red card. I also got to witness live two of Thierry Henry's eight Arsenal hat tricks including a<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDTjRytk8CE"> 7-0 mauling of Middlesbrough</a> during the final season at Highbury. Other highlights including being there to see <a href="https://www.premierleague.com/match/3476">Tony Adams score</a> in a 6-1 romp over Leicester (somehow I was able to scalp a ticket on the tube on the way to Highbury) and witnessing <a href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/25900514">Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain score a brace</a> in a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace (he only scored nine league goals for the club).</b><br />
<br /><b>I very rarely, if ever, miss an Arsenal match. Being on the other side of the Atlantic this often involved getting up at the crack of dawn, sneaking out of work for extended "lunch" breaks and watching matches on dodgy illegal streams on the computer. This is in recent years. Back in the early days before <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_Soccer">Fox Soccer Channel</a> came along I would often find myself out at one of the only sports bars in NYC that broadcast the sport via <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setanta_Sports">Setanta Sports</a>. Back then you would often have to pay a cover charge just to enter and watch. Regardless these places were always packed with singing and drinking fans.</b><br />

<br />
<br />
<b>There were plenty of great moments and enjoyable victories over the past 20 years of following Arsenal. The one constant has been Arsene Wenger.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Since this is my personal blog I am stating how I feel and don't really care about those that have lampooned and criticized the manager unmercifully in recent years.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>When I first began following the EPL, Arsenal and Manchester United were the powerhouses. It was always Fergie versus Wenger. The two teams were pretty equal back then. There were some epic matches between the two sides and the rest of the league was pretty much secondary to these two.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Chelsea and Liverpool were always tough competition but Arsenal always seemed to have the edge.</b><br />
<br />
<b>As far as Tottenham goes, they were (and possibly still are) a distant second to their North London neighbors. The fact that Spurs have only finished above Arsenal twice during the Wenger reign pretty much is proof of the Gunners' domination.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Power started to shift when billionaire owners began purchasing teams. Roman Abramovich brought his Russian oil money to Chelsea and Sheikh Mansour poured his fortune in to Manchester City. That has changed the landscape significantly. City ran away with the league this season and were very impressive. It's hard for me to truly respect what they have done as they have essentially <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setanta_Sports">purchased the league</a>. Those new to following the league think of City as a powerhouse. Those of us who know the history, remember when City were constantly being relegated, promoted and then relegated with their famous Bermudian striker <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaun_Goater">Shawn Goater</a>.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Arsenal have slid over the past few seasons and have finished outside the top four for the second year in a row. Wenger has been vilified for the team's shortcomings and is ultimately the reason that he is moving on.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I personally believe that many of those that have chased the man out of the club are going to have second thoughts moving forward. Yes coming in fifth and sixth is not the same as winning the league. However, in 22 seasons these are the worst two that Arsenal have ever experienced. If finishing 5th and 6th is as bad as it gets, then we really don't have it that bad. Look at clubs like Leeds, Aston Villa, Blackburn, Everton, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, West Ham, Newcastle, etc. Ask the fans of any of those teams if they would trade places with Arsenal. The answer is YES. I also seem to recall Chelsea finishing tenth just a few seasons ago.</b><br />
<br />
<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8la2PyRKQtQ" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
<b>Everyone blaming the manager must realize that the owners are more to blame than the guy taking the questions at the press conference. If the powers that be don't spend the money, nothing is going to change. So, rather than look at the shortcomings of the club, I think what Wenger has achieved is AMAZING.</b><br />
<ul>
<li><b>3 Premier League titles - 1997-1998, 2001-2002, 2003-2004</b></li>
<li><b>7 FA Cups - 1998, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2014, 2015, 2017 (3 over the past four seasons)</b></li>
<li><b>7 Community Shields - 1998, 1999, 2002, 2004, 2014, 2015, 2017</b></li>
<li><b>3 Premier League Manager of the Season wins - 1998, 2002, 2004</b></li>
<li><b>Getting to the Champions League and finishing in the top four for 20 straight seasons</b></li>
</ul>
<b>Many point the finger at him for losing in the 2006 Champions League final to Barcelona. I don't. I point the finger at the idiotic decision from goalkeeper Jens Lehmann to foul Samuel Eto'o in the 18th minute and get red carded.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Wenger's final act proved he is pure class as a person. Following his last home match as manager he was handed the microphone. Instead of talking about himself, he spoke of his players, the club and the fans.</b><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Thank you for having me for so long, but I am like you, I am
an Arsenal fan. That means it’s more than just watching football, it’s a way
of life, it is caring about the beautiful game, the values that we cherish. I invite you to really support the players and the staff
that remain behind me. Please support them next season because they deserve it. I want to finish one simple word I will miss you. Thank you all for having such an important part of my life, thank you all, well done, bye bye. </b></blockquote>

<br />
<b>My love for Arsenal will go on. However, there's a bit of sadness knowing that Arsene Wenger will no longer be the man in charge. It was definitely time for a change, but that doesn't mean that Wenger's time was not special and he will be missed.</b><br />

Now this never ending Alexis Sanchez situation is taking center stage. It's getting very old seeing Arsenal make stars only to have these players then turn around and give a big FU to the fans and the club.<br />
<br />
I'm sorry but if Sanchez was such a great player he would have accepted the challenge to make his Arsenal teammates better. Instead he threw up his hands and sulked like a child. Great players make their teams better.<br />
<br />
All this talk of him wanting to win trophies is a total joke. He only cares about himself. He won two FA Cups with Arsenal. All year it's about he wants to go to City, he wants to win trophies. The sad reality is that Man City are going to win the league this year and they have done that without Sanchez. He just wants to join the party after it has already started.<br />
<br />
All of a sudden, this dream Man City move has become a move to Manchester United for an obscene amount of money. Funny thing is Manchester United are not going to win anything this year and don't even play attacking football. Sanchez is just another RVP or Nasri. I really thought he was different.<br />
<br />
Good riddance and take your selfish me me me behavior up north to that wasteland known as Manchester.<br />

<b>Being an Arsenal fan can be exhilarating at times, however, it can also result in feelings of dejection, misery and absolute frustration.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The team put in a great performance this past weekend in dispatching Everton 2-5 at Goodison Park. It was therefore unnerving to follow Arsenal's home fixture versus Championship side Norwich City in the <a href="https://www.efl.com/clubs-and-competitions/carabao-cup/">Carabao Cup</a> just two days later.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It was expected that Arsene Wenger would field a team of fringe players and youngsters, but with veterans such as Olivier Giroud, Theo Walcott and Jack Wilshere nothing but victory was expected.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>I was unable to see the match on television but listened and followed along on radio and the Internet.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>After 85 minutes it looked as if the "good" Arsenal from the weekend had been replaced by the "bad" Arsenal side of recent years. Here are just a few of these forgettable and embarrassing performances:</b><br />

<b>It still amazes me how long the EPL season really is. After 9 months of ups and downs, frustrations and more frustrations the end of the season is often a great time to decompress and focus on some other sports related frustration, such as the New York Mets.

<b>Arsenal have had a relatively positive preseason with some of the youngsters getting their chance to show what they got. Chuba Akpom, Alex Iwobi and Jeff Reine-Adelaide displayed positive signs which gave fans cyring for a new striker a moment to wonder if perhaps the answer lies within.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain both performed well which is a major positive with both once highly touted players coming off of sub par years.</b><br />

<b>Of course this being Arsenal, the word crisis is never too far behind any team story.

<b><span style="font-family: inherit;">Despite all the negativity it's easy to forget that Arsenal did finish second last season behind Cinderella winners Leicester City. Of course the pundits have moved on to kissing the butts of new managers Guardiola, Conte and Mourinho. Why Mourinho is treated like he's royalty is behind me. He single handily led 2014-2015 champions Chelsea in to the relegation zone last season before being canned. ManU have made some good signings, (including paying</span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">89 million pounds for Paul Pogba a player that Manchester United had and let leave for almost nothing four years ago) but the team were a mess last year and despite how the media portrays him, Mourinho is no miracle worker.</span></b><br />

<b>Kevin de Bruyne gave City the lead again in the 51st minute on a shot that Petr Cech really should have saved. Luckily Alexis Sanchez tied the score with a strike in the 68th minute. Arsenal remain in third behind Spuds by two points and ahead of City by three.</b><br />

<b>While the score was the same as last May's FA Cup Final, the 4-0 victory didn't have the same excitement level of last year's win.

<b>The only thing left to be decided on this last day of the season was whether or not Tottenham would be able to finish above Arsenal for the first time in 21 years.

<b><br /></b>
<b>Being a big Twitter user for football related matters, I distinctly remember the reaction to Leicester City's appointment of Cladio Ranieri as the club's new manager. The negativity and vitriol was almost universal. Before a ball was even kicked Leicester seemed to have already been relegated by pundits, betting sites and fans.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Well Leicester City fans this one is for you to enjoy. Perhaps you'll even want to print it out and hang it on the wall. We all know that social media can be dangerous as everything you say (or tweet in this instance) is permanent. Well what follows is a collection of some of the best anti Ranieri and Leicester to be relegated tweets. What will make reading this even sweeter for Leicester fans is seeing that these tweets have come from fans of "title contenders" Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham. There are even tweets from fans of club's who are currently scratching and clawing to stave off relegation while Leicester are sitting pretty at the top of the table.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Claudio Ranieri must have some thick skin. I hope that he's getting his middle finger ready for a big salute to those that doubted him when Leicester eventually lift up the EPL trophy. Where egotistical, it's all about me managers such as Jose Mourinho get stroked by the media; Ranieri has been vilified.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So while Mourinho was sacked and now sits on the sidelines, he gets to watch as Ranieri guides his underdog squad with nothing but grace and class. I hope Mourinho is watching as Ranieri and Leicester lift the trophy while his former side languish. Funny how the the "great" manager was sacked months ago, while the manager predicted to be sacked first continues to rack up victories.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So congrats to Leicester City, the fans and especially Claudio Ranieri. It's great to see that fairy tales can actually come true in real life!</b><br />

<b>If ever a match summed up this season, this was it. It all started out well. Back in the starting lineup, Alex Iwobi proved that he's one for the future. He played provider for Mesut Ozil who scored Arsenal's first in the 18th minute. In the 35th minute Iwobi passed to Alexis Sanchez who slotted home Arsenal's second.</b><br />

<b>It looked as if Arsenal were going to roll and that the outcome would be a victory. That was until the 44th minute. Within a two and a half minute period Arsenal's ugly side appeared. It should have been easy enough for Arsenal to tighten up the defense and go in to the half with a two goal advantage.</b><br />

<b>Optimism has been replaced by irritation, frustration and disgust. In one of the strangest EPL seasons ever, Arsenal have regularly wasted opportunities to take advantage.

<b>Swansea have been our bogey team in recent years. I can still see Bafetembi Gomis doing his ridiculous lion roaring celebration as he led Swansea over Arsenal in both meetings last season.

<b><br /></b>
<b>Well that was an absolute travesty. Just another typical wasted chance from Arsenal. All started out well and when Joel Campbell scored after 15 minutes it looked as if order had been restored and Arsenal would continue to score and put the game away early.</b><br />

<b>Of course this being Arsenal things aren't always what they seem. The stats said one thing: 63% possession and more shots on target for Arsenal. The final score said another: Arsenal 1 Swansea 2.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Arsenal are fighting for the title and Swansea are currently treading water just above the relegation zone. Based on this performance you would think it was the other way around.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The bottom line is that Arsenal are going through a prolonged period where they are unable to score despite lots of possession and plenty of passing. Add to that, the fact that the Arsenal defense is often left looking foolish and gives up cheap goals to the opposition.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Twitter exploded after this one and the vibe among Gooners is about as low as it can get.</b><br />

<b>Enough is enough. Win or put a fork in it. Any North London derby is a big deal, but this one has more significance than normal. Not only are Arsenal running out of chances to keep their fight for the EPL title alive; but Spuds presently sit above Arsenal in the standings. Hearing the pundits and the media kiss Tottenham's butt while ragging on Arsenal is hard. Arsenal need to restore proper order and reestablish the fact that North London is red.</b><br />

<b>How to explain this one? Was this a wasted opportunity to take all three points and put a dent in the Spuds title charge?

<b>Usually a point away to the hated Spuds would be a good point. However, Arsenal really needed to take all three. However, when Coquelin committed a stupid foul on Harry Kane in the 55th minute with Arsenal up 0-1 everyone knew it was going to take a miracle with 35 minutes still left in the match.</b><br />

<b>Arsenal have to win this. Period. Arsenal dominated Hull back at the Emirates but somehow didn't score forcing this replay at the KC Stadium. Arsenal have not won since defeating Leicester back on February 14th. Team morale is low, fan anxiety is high and the only outcome of this match that will keep a tsunami of angst from coming to shore is a win. A decisive win would be great. However, at this point any win is what is needed and expected.</b><br />

<b>Less than a week after defeating Hull 0-4 in their FA Cup 5th round replay, Arsenal play host to Watford with a return trip to Wembley at hand. Arsene Wenger has been receiving a ton of abuse this week from some supposed fans and a win today would go a long way in calming things down.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Arsenal are going for their third FA Cup title in a row which would equal a record set 130 years ago by Blackburn.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Despite a visit to Barcelona looming later this week, today's match is more important. No one is expecting Arsenal to pull off a miracle in Spain and the FA Cup is within reach. Arsenal are still in the hunt for the EPL title, but with Leicester ahead of Arsenal by eight points, it may be too much to realistically catch up. Therefore the FA Cup is Arsenal's best chance for silverware this season.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>A win is a must.</b><br />

<b><br />The dream of a third straight FA Cup is over. Somehow the good Arsenal of last week took the day off and the pathetic and inept Arsenal showed up. No disrespect to Watford but this was a game that had victory written all over it. A home game at the Emirates and a chance to move on to the semi-finals should have been enough motivation for Arsenal to put in a strong performance. Apparently, however, it was not.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>In typical Arsenal fashion, the team dominated the match but walked away losers. Check out these stats: 71% possession, 20 shots to Watford's 7 and 7 corners to Watford's 1. This pattern of dominating matches, yet losing has become regular thing this season. Losing stinks no matter what, but losing when you dominate the match is just plain embarrassing and inexcusable.</b><br />

<b>In the end it was a combination of Arsenal's shaky defense and a lack of finishing that doomed the Gunners. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So, while Arsenal fans argue back and forth and vent their frustration, the team now gets ready to fly out to Barcelona for the second leg of their Champions League meeting with one of the best teams of the world. Sadly this comes after losing to one of the most mediocre teams in the world.</b><br />

<b>The club have nothing left to distract them from the remaining league fixtures. There's still hope that Arsenal can catch Leicester and potentially win the league. To be honest, that hope is beginning to look less and less likely, so there is no more room for slip ups. Also important is to not allow the impossible to happen....that is to go a season without a St. Totteringham's Day. To see Tottenham finish above Arsenal would hurt worse than not winning the league.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>No ifs, ands or buts....time to get it done today Arsenal.</b><br />

<b>Back to the league and a weekday meeting with Southampton at the Emirates. Southampton have been mediocre this season, but when Arsenal went to St. Mary's last month, they completely humiliated the Gunners by a score of 0-4. It was a major hit in what is supposed to be Arsenal's year to win the league. Now it's payback time and hopefully Arsenal will seek retribution and get back to winning ways.</b><br />

<b>Upon seeing the result, I am glad that this was the one match that I missed. Arsenal had 67% of the possession, but in the end it amounted to nothing as the match ended 0-0.

<b>Arsenal need to right the ship now or they can forget about any title hopes. They go in to this match in fourth place. With the surprising Leicester defeating Manchester City on Saturday at the Etihad, they now sit atop the table eight points ahead of Arsenal. Even with a win, Arsenal will only move up to third place. Even worse than being behind Leicester, is being behind Tottenham who won again Saturday.</b><br />

<b>Arsenal host the surprise team of the season Leicester City at the Emirates and the ass kissing by the pundits of Leicester in the build up has frankly been nauseating. It's time for Arsenal to stop the fairy tale and send Leicester back to reality. Arsenal won the the away fixture earlier this season 2-5 and they need to secure all three points today. It's actually amazing to think that a match against Leicester City has this much importance., Leicester City? They almost got relegated last season. It's been a great story but enough is enough. Arsenal MUST show that they are capable of winning the league and the time is NOW to prove it.</b><br />

<b>It was looking like it was going to be another one of those frustrating days but then Danny Welbeck's head met Mesut Ozil's last gasp free kick in the 5th minute of added time. Instead of a 1-1 draw Arsenal struck with the last play of the match and walked away with all three points.</b><br />

<b>Referee Martin Atkinson played a major role in the match, but not in a good way. He missed clear fouls on Arsenal players and then awarded Jamie Vardy a penalty for purposely falling over Nacho Monreal's leg...i.e. he clearly cheated. Vardy scored the undeserved penalty right before the half and the frustration level around the Emirates was obvious by the loud booing directed at Atkinson.</b><br />

<b>There's a part of me that wouldn't be too upset if they were out of this tournament so that they could concentrate on the league and the FA Cup. The other part of me says that's a cop out and if you want to be the best, you've got to beat the best. A Champions League trophy, however, far away it may seem, would not be a bad piece of silverware to have in the trophy cabinet.</b><br />

<b>Miracles can happen, but they didn't happen today. The final stats show that Barcelona dominated the match with an overwhelming amount of possession and double the total of shots from Arsenal.

<b>Arsenal defended valiantly in the first half and were able to keep the likes of Messi, Neymar and Suarez off of the score sheet.

<b>In the second half Barcelona broke the deadlock when they caught the Arsenal defense sleeping in the 71st minute.

<b>The most questionable move from Arsene Wenger came with seven minutes left in the match when he substituted Coquelin with the always questionable Mathieu Flamini.

<b>Arsenal are within striking distance of the top of the table. Manchester United are treading water while waiting for a life preserver. Their season has been abysmal and each week there's a new crack in the armor. Arsenal are coming off of a loss to Barcelona while United are celebrating their comeback victory over a small team from Denmark with a name something like jkdlelslakdkeldkja.</b><br />
<b>There's a big difference though. Barcelona are probably the best team in world football while jkdlelslakdkeldkja is the equivalent of playing a non league side.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>With that in mind, this is a must win for Arsenal. They are by far the superior team and anything but a victory would be both an embarrassment and a kick in the gut to Arsenal's title chances. They won the corresponding fixture earlier in the year with an easy 3-0 victory. That day they put the game away early scoring three goals within 20 minutes. Let's hoping we see something similar today.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>An added motivation is the now fit Danny Welbeck getting a start up front against the manager that stated <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2752468/Danny-Welbeck-wasn-t-good-Manchester-United-says-Louis-van-Gaal.html">he wasn't good enough for Manchester United</a>. Welbeck got sweet revenge last season when he scored the winner versus United in the FA Cup. It would be great to see more of the same today.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>It's taken me several days to come back to this blog and recap what was an abject pathetic performance. Losing to Manchester United is one thing, but losing to a team of scrubs, no names and players playing out of position is just plain embarrassing. I have always defended Arsenal, but the term "bottlers" has been thrown around about the club on a regular basis. I am beginning to agree that they are indeed a group of bottlers. Every time there's a chance to get an advantage or dispel any negativity surrounding the club, they fail and they fail miserably.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Arsenal were sunk by an eighteen year old making his Premier League debut. Now if Marcus Rashford goes on to become the new Lionel Messi, then we'll look back and say we saw the beginnings of a superstar. However, it's more likely that we'll look back and just laugh at how Arsenal allowed an unknown kid to look like a combination of Messi, Pele and Ronaldo.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>There's really no reason to go over the details. In short, Arsenal passed the ball about a lot, scored a couple of goals, but basically wasted a ton of possession and looked inept and feeble on offense. Theo Walcott started up front yet I had to check the names on the team lineup after the first half to see if he really was playing. He was basically invisible. Outside of Ozil and Welbeck and maybe Koscielny the players failed miserably. They really should be ashamed and embarrassed as they lost to an inferior team in a match they had to win.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So, there are no more excuses or you can kiss any chances of a title goodbye. Even worse, Tottenham are above Arsenal and could be champions if their current form keeps up. Get it together now Arsenal.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>For us life long Mets fans losing and embarrassment have been two things that we have become accustomed to. Losing...because the Mets have done an awful lot of that over the years. Embarrassment...because in addition to losing the Mets have made bad business decisions, blown playoff chances and operated as a small market team in the country's biggest market.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Things started to change last summer when General Manager Sandy Alderson made what turned out to be some brilliant trade deadline deals. Blessed with strong pitching but a lack of offense, the Mets were in desperate need of some pop in their lineup.</b><br />

<b>Wilmer Flores was the catalyst for what will go down in Mets' lore as one of the greatest two months in Mets history. Thinking he had been traded from the only MLB organization he had ever been with, Flores was seen visibly crying at the news during a game. In the end, the trade never went through and Flores remained a Met. However, his tears earned him the respect of fans. In addition to showing a human side to the game, Flores displayed loyalty and passion that are rarely seen by professional athletes.</b><br />

<br />
<b>After that, Juan Uribe, Kelly Johnson, Tyler Clippard and Yoenis Cespedes were brought in and it was off to the playoffs from that moment on. It was an amazing turnaround in fortune and a lot of that was due to Cespedes and his bat. Finally the Mets had a beast in the middle of their lineup. Most Mets fans must have thought they were dreaming after watching the team struggle to score runs through the first four months of the season.</b><br />

<b>The Mets went on to win the National League Pennant and a trip to the World Series. Suddenly the Mets weren't a joke anymore. They actually became the toast of New York and took the headlines from the Evil Empire. <a href="http://mrmetisagooner.blogspot.com/2015/10/from-rags-to-riches-2015-new-york-mets.html">Mets fans finally had the chance to be proud rather than embarrassed.</a></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Then came this off season. The Mets are built to win now with their young pitching staff but they need to be supported by a solid offense. Since Cespedes joined the team last summer, fans have been making it very clear to Mets management and the Wilpons that they wanted the Mets to sign the free agent and have him become a permanent member of the team.</b><br />

<br />
<b>Reports were that the Mets were not going to offer Cespedes a contract and instead they went out and signed journeyman Alejandro DeAza to platoon with Juan Lagares in center field. The Mets did make a couple of decent signings for the infield with the addition of Neil Walker and Asdrubel Cabrera. However, with the departure of the club's most reliable hitter, Daniel Murphy, the lineup was once again looking a bit weak.</b><br />

<b>I usually don't put a lot of importance on social media, but I actually think that it had a major impact on Mets management. Twitter was awash with the hashtags #SignCespedes and #BringBackCespedes while the anti Wilpons tweets were frequent as well.</b><br />

<b>Of course no team should be taken lightly, as we've seen at West Brom and Southampton for example, but on current form this should be a no brainer for Arsenal.

<b>Not a vintage performance from Arsenal. In fact a rather pedestrian performance overall. However, the three points went to the league leaders when Laurent Koscielny hacked in a corner that had rebounded off of the head of Olivier Giroud in the 72nd minute.</b><br />

<b>The match started off well with Arsenal looking the more likely to score. Whether it was the pouring rain or the exhaustion of playing a third match in less than ten days, Arsenal started to look off the mark. The usual crisp passing was missing and players such as Ramsey, Chamberlain and Walcott all looked a bit out of sort. The Ox was particularly unnerving as he's proven he's got the skill and ability but he did very little today to make Wenger put him at the top of the team sheet for any upcoming matches.</b><br />

<b>In the end, Arsenal's best player was Petr Cech who made a number of excellent saves that kept Arsenal in the match and allowed them to eventually go on and win it.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Newcastle certainly had the better of the scoring chances, but as we've seen time and time again with Arsenal, it doesn't matter how much ball control you have or how many beautiful shots on target you have, it's about getting the ball in the back of the net. Despite playing poorly, Arsenal did just that and they remain top of the table. It's been said time and time again, championship teams are those that can win ugly and this was one ugly win. We'll take the three points.</b><br />

<b>It's time for Arsenal to begin their quest for their third straight FA Cup trophy. With the fixtures coming thick and fast and the squad already being stretched, it's expected that Arsenal will put out a mixture of young and experience. While that's always a bit troubling, the opponent is Sunderland and their Fred Flintstone manager, Sam Allardyce, was whining during the week about how there are too many matches and he's going to have to rotate his squad.</b><br />

<b>While Sunderland is not worthy of much concern from Arsenal fans, it's never a good thing to underestimate your opponent at any level. However, the fact that Fat Sam may be putting out Sunderland's second string is definitely something to get a bit overconfident about. Sunderland's second team????? Come on.</b><br />

<b>What started off worryingly, finished in impressive fashion. In the end Arsenal easily handled Sunderland and move on to the draw for the fourth round.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Arsenal looked a bit rusty in the first 15 minutes and they didn't wake up until a rare Laurent Koscielny error gifted Sunderland the lead in the 17th minute. Koscielny's hesitation in clearing the ball in the box led to Jermain Lens getting on the ball and sending it in to the side of the Arsenal net with little chance for Petr Cech to make a save.</b><br />

<b>In the second half it was all Arsenal. Hector Bellerin did his best Mesut Ozil performance with two fantastic assists to set up substitute Aaron Ramsey in the 72nd minute and Olivier Giroud in the 75th. Arsenal hit the bar and came close on a number of occasions. The final score should have been 4-1 but Martin Atkinson must have felt badly for Sunderland as a blatant trip on Giroud by American DeAndre Yedlin was ignored. Maybe it was also because of the ridiculous haircut that Yedlin was sporting.</b><br />

<b>This Liverpool side is no where near as intimidating as Liverpool squads of the past. The club's reputation is perhaps more intimidating at the moment than the actual lineup.

Arsenal cannot let the crowd and the reputation of Anfield get inside their collective heads.</b><br />

<b>Unfortunately, Arsenal seemed to play less like Arsenal and more like a team under siege. Instead of controlling the ball, Arsenal allowed Liverpool to have the majority of possession and the Arsenal goal was under attack for long periods of time.

<b>Things have changed a bit at Arsenal as well. There's more confidence, more experience and Arsenal are genuine title contenders this season. It's time that Arsenal silenced the crowd at the Brittania and put this Stoke hex to bed. Stoke is a mid table team at best and Arsenal seem to have had a psychological block in years past. Visiting Stoke has become a problem fixture for Arsenal...however, most of that is down to the players lacking confidence and letting past visits get inside their heads. Enough is enough and if Arsenal is going to win a title, it's time to end the Stoke jinx and come away with the three points.</b><br />

<b>First the good news....Arsenal are at the top of the table. They are level on points with second place Leicester with a +3 goal differential. Now the bad news...Arsenal were unable to walk away with all three points after playing a goalless draw. Some might say it was a great point as Stoke have always been a bogey club for Arsenal. However, the talent that Arsenal had on the pitch should have been able to produce a win.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Of course the cavemen crew known as Stoke fans exhibited their usual brutish behavior. Arsene Wenger was the recipient of much of the vitriol and even worse was the abuse that Aaron Ramsey had to take throughout the match. How the victim of a potential career ending leg break inflicted by a Stoke player can be vilified for more than five years is beyond me. The logic defies any explanation other than the fans displaying this behavior are truly an embarrassment to the game.</b><br />

<b>Mesut Ozil sat out the match with a slight knock and despite having a number of good scoring chances, Arsenal came up empty. Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland made some great saves and in the end Arsenal were unable to produce a goal and make the breakthrough.</b><br />

<b>When I first began following Arsenal, Chelsea were a pain in the butt but they were always second best. In recent years it's been the other way around. Now, with Chelsea in free fall and the egotistical one gone it's time to reestablish the proper order.</b><br />

Regardless, Mertesacker saw red and the match was pretty much over for Arsenal at that point. Five minutes later, the detestable Costa scored and Chelsea parked the bus. Down a man it was an uphill battle.</b><br />

<b>In 180 minutes of football this season between Arsenal and Chelsea, Arsenal have played 117 minutes without a full 11 man lineup. I'm not sure whether it's psychological or what, but Arsenal always seem to screw up when playing against Chelsea.</b><br />

<b>The only real highlight of the match was the return of Alexis Sanchez to the lineup in the 57th minute. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>All in all it was another wasted opportunity for Arsenal. The loss leaves the club in third place 3 points behind Leicester and level on points with Manchester City. With just 2 points out of a possible 9 from the team's last three matches, it's clear that Arsenal are running out of room for error if they do intend on winning this year's title.</b><br />

<b>With a league match coming in three days Wenger is giving starts to Ospina, Chambers, Iwobi and new signing Mohamed Elneny.

However, if Arsenal cannot easily dispense of Sunderland today then there really are problems bigger than just the manager. With Manchester City showing nothing at Stoke today and losing 2-0 it gives Arsenal another opportunity to take advantage of another contender. This one is a MUST and needs to be taken care of.</b><br />

<b><br /></b><b><br /></b><b>They did it. Arsenal needed to win by 2 or more goals and a 0-3 final sees Arsenal go through to the knockout stages of the Champions League for the 16th year in a row.

<b><br /></b><b>A solid win for Arsenal. While one would have been happy to see the Gunners score 5 or more against woeful Villa, a 0-2 victory is just fine. The three points see Arsenal jump to the top of the league for now and keep the club's momentum moving forward.</b><br />

<b><br /></b><b><br /></b><b>Arsenal are still suffering from a large number of injuries, but recent performances have been solid and confidence is high right now. Meanwhile City have not looked as invincible as in seasons past. I only hope that Arsenal don't play scared and instead go out with confidence and put on a performance worthy of title contenders.The EPL has been crazy thus far this season. Some of it has been purely enjoyable to watch. Chelsea's struggles have been pure entertainment and the firing of the egotistical one this week, Moanrinho, has been an added treat. Then there's boring, boring Manchester United with LVG at the helm. The team is a shell of the once intimidating United and seeing them huff and puff and do nothing on a regular basis is great entertainment. Then there's Liverpool led by new manager Jurgen Klopp. While I have total respect for Klopp, I found it a bit ridiculous when the media was proclaiming Liverpool as title contenders immediately after his appointment. Liverpool look just as bad under Klopp as they did under Brendan Rodgers...so contrary to the British press, he does not possess a magic wand that suddenly transforms a team in to winners.</b><br />

<b>YES!!! Scream it from the mountaintops, Arsenal are indeed genuine title contenders. Outside of the last ten minutes of the match Arsenal were in control and looked the real deal. They played like a team and defended intelligently. Having seen so many Arsenal matches where the Gunners have the majority of the possession and lose, it was a nice change to see them allow City more time on the ball and take advantage of breaks to score. As we've seen time and time again, it's what you do with the ball that matters.</b><br />

<b><br /></b><b>Ozil was again the architect to Arenal's goals. He set up Theo Walcott for a beautiful goal in the 33rd minute. It was as impressive as it was invigorating. The atmosphere in the stadium was electric already, but the goal made the place go nuts.</b><br />

<b><br /></b><b>My only complaint would be that with a two goal lead, Arsenal continued to try and score leaving gaps for City to mount attacks.

<b>Boxing Day it is, or as we call it here in the states, the day after Christmas. Arsenal travel to Southampton today and over the past few years this hasn't been the easiest of fixtures. In fact traveled to Southampton two seasons ago to watch this exact match and Arsenal had to come back to settle for a draw. The difference this year is that Southampton is not the force that they have been in recent years.. Arsenal are on a great run of form, still buzzing from defeating Manchester City and are being spoken of as title contenders. Therefore, it is a must win match to keep all that positive momentum moving forward and to make a statement to the league.</b><br />

<b>Arsenal play in the late match today, before that we get to see "crisis" clubs Manchester United and Chelsea as well as the rest of the league play. The big one at the moment for Arsenal fans will be league leaders Leicester's visit to Anfield. In years past it would be all about Liverpool in this fixture. Not this year as the surprise story of the year so far keeps ticking. Along with most fans, I really believe that the clock will strike midnight on Leicester and they'll fall back down to earth, but for right now they are an amazing story of an underdog. If Arsenal do not go on to win the league, the only club that I would concede it to this season is Leicester. However, if what we think is all going to happen, happens, then it's time for Leicester to become Leicester again and start moving back down the table.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So here's to three points on Boxing Day.</b><br />

<b>So much for that feel good factor. Embarrassing, humiliating, pathetic, disgraceful....you get the drift. Luckily this was the one match that I was not able to watch due to work and turned on the DVR when I got home. When it became evident that Arsenal had not turned up, I just fast forwarded through the humiliation and was frankly disgusted by what I saw. </b><br />

<b>Arsenal had the chance to go top of the league against a team that had been struggling and should have been easily beatable. If Arsenal had lost 1-0 having giving it their all, it would have stung, but it would be a lot easier to accept. A 4-0 drubbing turns what was a great feeling of invincibility in to maybe this is the same old Arsenal feeling. If this club is to win the EPL, they have got to show a lot more metal than what was on display today. Yes it's the festive period, yet there are a lot of games in a short amount of time, but every team has this same challenge.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Let's hope that this was just a temporary blip and not a sign of what's to come. </b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>In the end, the points were shared. Overall it was a disappointing match from an Arsenal point of view. The team looked slow and lethargic in the first half. Things got worse when the new poster boy for English football, Harry Kane slotted home in the 32nd minute. Regardless, I was confident that Arsenal would come back and win the match.</b><br />

<b>Arsenal upped the tempo a bit in the second half and looked threatening. Still a goal never came. Finally in the 77th minute Arsenal scored from an unlikely source. Three minutes after Kieran Gibbs entered the match as a sub he was in position in front of goal to meet a Mesut Ozil cross and put the ball in to the back of the net. It wasn't pretty, but it did the job and Arsenal were back in the match.</b><br />

<b>The two week international break is over and it's back to the league today for Arsenal. With a true title challenge on, it's imperative that Arsenal pick up maximum points from games like this. After a rather tough run of fixtures, Arsenal are finally graced with matches against a number of the teams towards the bottom half of the table. (After West Brom comes Norwich, Sunderland and Aston Villa).</b><br />

<b>What a nightmare of a match and a nightmare of a performance. Of course that means a return to the #WengerOut brigade and all the negative whining and vitriol that comes with any Arsenal stumble. In addition to Arsenal blowing an opportunity to go top of the table and stake their name as title contenders, they also lost midfield rock Francis Coquelin to injury that will keep him out for three months.</b><br />

<b>West Brom equalized in the 35th minute from terrible Arsenal defending, but that was just a prelude to the disaster that was yet to come. When Coquelin limped off in the 14th minute Mikel Arteta came on as a substitute. Arteta soon proved that the venom directed at him from Arsenal fans might be warranted. In the 40th minute Arteta scored the winning goal...unfortunately it was for the other team. Whatever the hell he was trying to do on defense who knows, but he inexplicably ended up putting the ball in to the Arsenal net.</b><br />

<b>Some are saying Arsenal should give up on the Champions League and concentrate on the league. Personally, that's a pretty lame thought for a club of Arsenal's level. If Arsenal want to finally join the European elite they have to take every match seriously and put in a strong performance. I'd be really disappointed if they didn't do that despite all the injuries the club currently has.</b><br />

<b>Mesut Ozil opened the scoring in the 30th minute and it was looking like they had control of the match. Unfortunately, in the end it was another match where Arsenal dominated possession (63%) but failed to win. Some poor defending by Gabriel allowed Norwich to draw even two minutes before half time. Gabriel had come on in place of Laurent Koscielny who hobbled off after just 11 minutes.</b><br />

<b>After another disastrous Champions League debacle at home to Olympiakos, here come the current EPL leaders Manchester United. I so miss those days of Arsenal and Manchester United battling each other for league supremacy. Sadly in recent years, it's been Arsenal battling themselves versus an inferior United. It's almost as if Arsenal let the aura of past United teams cause them to buckle every time they meet. If ever there was a time to right this, now would be it. How LVG and his crap squad have jumped to the head of the pack is hard to believe. With Chelsea becoming a weekly joke and no one other than Manchester City presenting a challenge, now is the time for Arsenal to make a statement. It has to happen. Let's do this.</b><br />

<b>Well, that was more like it. Arsenal won the game within the first 20 minutes with three quick goals courtesy of the sensational Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil. United couldn't keep up with the pace of Arsenal's attack and after taking a 3-0 lead, let United unsuccessfully chase the match. There have been so many games where Arsenal dominated the possession only to lose. Today it was different. I was actually surprised to see that United had 62% of the ball. Arsenal were in complete control and for once allowed the defensive side of their game show through.</b><br />

<b>Three was the number of the day. Three goals for Arsenal and three points in the table. Following some of the less patient Arsenal fans on Twitter throughout the first half, one would have thought that the team sucked, the manager should be fired, Aaron Ramsey was useless and all sorts of other unfounded negativity. The match remained 0-0 after the first 45.</b><br />

<b>Wow. Proving why Arsenal can be an extremely frustrating club to support, the Gunners played perhaps their best game of the season and defeated the best team in Europe 2-0. After suffering spirit crushing defeats to lesser competition in Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiakos, no one really thought that Arsenal had a chance in hell of getting a result versus Bayern. However, something pretty amazing took place at The Emirates. Arsenal played a very un-Arsenal match. They let Bayern control the majority of the possession with tenacious defending and then caught the Germans on the fast break.</b><br />

<b>Arsenal head in to today's match on a great run of form and full of confidence. A midweek defeat of Bayern Munich when no one gave the team a chance was just what the doctor ordered. With Chelsea floundering, Liverpool proving no threat and the Manchester teams battling each other this weekend, this is a great opportunity for Arsenal to put some distance between them and the rest of the pack.</b><br />

<b>Arsenal have a habit of scoring in bunches and it was starting to look like it may be an easy day at the office. Unfortunately the weather conditions and a bit of bad luck brought Everton back in to the match just before the half. Ross Barkley's shot was deflected in to the Arsenal goal off of Gabriel Paulista who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was one of those fluke goals that happens and the defender was at no fault for the bad bounce.</b><br />

<b>After the midweek blip that was the League Cup it's time to get back to league action. Arsenal face a tough road match against bogey team Swansea City. It's still difficult for me to get the image Bafetimbi Gomis celebrating his goals versus Arsenal last season out of my mind.</b><br />

<b>The first half was frustrating with both teams looking a bit disjointed. Despite Arsenal's lack of pressure on the Swansea goal, the defense held up well and kept Swansea from getting an early lead. Maybe it's down to recent form, but I never felt worried that Arsenal weren't going to come away from Wales without a victory.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The second half proved me right as Arsenal took the lead in the 49th minute when Olivier Giroud headed home a Mesut Ozil corner. This goal was the 2000th for the club under manager Arsene Wenger.</b><br />

<b>As a lifelong Mets fan I can honestly say that this season has been the most unexpected turnaround I have ever witnessed. I was there when <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWNe6cMsdsI">Carlos Beltran struck out looking</a> with the bases loaded in 2006. I was there when <a href="http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/recap?gameId=270930121">Tom Glavine gave up 7 runs</a> in the first inning during the last game of the 2007 season to put the final nail in the Mets' epic collapse. I was also there in 2008 when the Mets once again completed <a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/mets/hard-mets-collapse-article-1.319998">another season ending collapse</a> in the last game of the season. That one was even worse because immediately after the Mets held a special ceremony to say <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/29/sports/baseball/29ceremony.html">goodbye to Shea Stadium</a>. Only the Mets would plan a celebration and then have it follow a demoralizing loss.</b><br />

<b>During a July 29th home game versus the San Diego Padres, rumors began to swirl on social media and from reporters covering the team that <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/30/sports/baseball/mets-padres-game.html">Wilmer Flores and rehabbing Zack Wheeler were traded to Milwaukee for former Met Carlos Gomez</a>. (Personally I thought that was a TERRIBLE trade). Despite the news, Flores remained in the lineup and even Gary Cohen and the rest of the TV broadcast crew were questioning why Flores was still in the game if had indeed been traded. By the time the rumors had been passed along to Flores himself, television cameras caught the lifelong Mets player visibly wiping away tears in the field.</b><br />

<b>In the end, the trade never went through, Flores became a fan favorite and the story became a national one. Of course the Mets organization received a ton of negative press and the mood around the club was not helped by the story.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The next night was the icing on the cake of negativity as the Mets lost a game that only the Mets could lose. The Mets had a 7-1 lead over the Padres in the 7th inning. Bobby Parnell came in to cause drama and loaded the bases. Hansel Robles was called on to get out of the mess and ended up giving up a grand slam to make the score 7-5.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>But wait, it gets worse. Jeurys Familia was in to close out the game and with two outs in the ninth something that can only happen to the Mets happened.

<b>Post Script:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>In the end, the Mets came up short in the World Series losing to Kansas City. It should not be lost that early season problems returned; great pitching performances wasted by lack of offense. Defensive problems also appeared as well as mental errors on the base paths. Hopefully Mets management will address these problems in the off season as the arms that got the Mets this far are all coming back. Considering the fact that Syndergaard, Matz and outfielder Conforto all started the year in the minors and Zack Wheeler will be coming back from Tommy John surgery next season, the future couldn't be brighter.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>In the end the 2015 New York Mets over achieved and proved to themselves and their fan base that the future is bright. The past three months have been an amazing experience that energized a fan base that's been desperate for a team they could be proud of. Well done 2015 New York Mets. Bring on next season!</b><br />

<b>Thank you NBC Sports for broadcasting every EPL match. However, no thanks for not properly listing the channel that the Arsenal match was going to be on today. Having to work today I set my DVR to record the match. Upon arriving home I settled down to watch the match having made sure to not get any information on the already played match. Instead of Arsenal, however, I was disgusted to see that the DVR had recorded the Man City game. Damn you NBC Sports, this was the first Arsenal match I have missed viewing in years!</b><br />

<b>Once the disappointment had faded I was glad to see that even without my viewership, Arsenal had dominated Stoke and walked away with a deserved 2-0 victory. Theo Walcott got on the score sheet in the 31st minute after a precise long ball from Mesut Ozil. Giroud added a header in the 85th minute and Petr Cech kept a clean sheet.</b><br />

<b>Once again the stats show that Arsenal bossed the game withe 68% possession and 29 shots versus just 8 for Stoke. Plenty of scoring chances were wasted, but there was also bad luck involved as well with Sanchez hit the bar twice. Regardless of the negatives, it was a good win for Arsenal and sees the team move back to the top portion of the table where they rightfully belong.</b><br />

<b>The Champions League is back and Arsenal kick off their first round match away to Dinamo Zagreb. The Gunners are in Group F along with Bayern Munich and Olympiakos. While Bayern has been a tough opponent for Arsenal in recent years Zagreb and Olympiakos should be easily beatable opponents. However, having witnessed last season's Anderlecht match and other past debacles, you can never take anything for granted with Arsenal.</b><br />

<b>That changed as soon as Diego Costa began his reign of terror. He was all over Laurent Koscielny, including hitting him in the face several times. He also kicked several Arsenal players and began a verbal spat with Gabriel Paulista. Mike Dean somehow missed all of this.

<b>POST SCRIPT - After the match the FA rescinded Gabriel's red card and found Diego Costa guilty of violent conduct with a three match ban. Ironic isn't it that the guilty is innocent and innocent is now guilty. How the FA believes that is justice is beyond me. The unfair result stands and it's of little satisfaction that the correct decisions were finally made as they came after the match and Mike Dean's joke of a performance.</b><br />

<b>Prior to kick off there were tons of groaning and angry Gooners on Twitter proclaiming that Arsenal were doomed and would lose the match due to the inclusion of Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini. While it's true that both are probably near or past their sell by date, they have performed well in the past and Arsene Wenger wanted to rotate the squad with all the fixtures coming up. By the end of the match there were many Gooners who may have been feeling a bit guilty for writing Flamini off....but that's to come.</b><br />

<b>Others that were given a run out in the starting lineup included Ospina, Debuchy, Chambers, Gibbs and Campbell. Despite all the pre-match whining from Arsenal fans, the fact is these guys are all part of the squad and at some point they have to be given a chance to prove their worth.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Proving that football truly is a beautiful game that often throws surprises, the much maligned Flamini became the hero scoring both goals in Arsenal's 1-2 victory away to the dreaded Spuds.</b><br />

<b>While it was the League Cup and generally not considered that important of a tournament, Arsenal had just lost two games in a row in ugly fashion and this was a North London derby. No matter what the occasion, losing to Tottenham is never an option for Arsenal.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Flamini gave Arsenal the lead in the 26th minute after an Oxlade-Chamberlain shot was saved by Michael Vorm but hit back in to the path of the on rushing Flamini.</b><br />

<b>Arsenal went in to half time with a one goal advantage but that was erased in the 56th minute when a Spuds shot bounced back off of Chambers and in to the Arsenal net. It was yet another own goal.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It got a bit nervy but Flamini saved his best effort for the 78th minute when he volleyed in an amazing shot after connecting on a deflected ball in the air. It was a pretty impressive strike from a very unlikely source. With all the rah rah Harry Kane talk from the announcers it was funny to see last season's wonder kid upstaged by a 31 year old journeyman.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>All in all a good win that will bring confidence back to the squad. Arsenal also got a good match-up for the next round of the competition as they will travel to Championship side Sheffield Wednesday.</b><br />

<b>Coming off of a satisfying North London derby victory in the League Cup, led by Arsenal's leading scorer Mathieu Flamini, here's hoping that a meeting with Leicester will finally kick start the season for Arsenal. Since a flying pre-season where Arsenal looked like potential champions to the club's lukewarm start of the season it's been a bit baffling. Where have all those outstanding performances gones? Where is that confidence we saw during the FA Cup win and the end of last season?</b><br />

<b>Only six games in, but so far Leicester have been the surprise package of the season. They are the only undefeated club and currently sit fourth in the table, one spot above Arsenal. However, eventually reality sorts these kind of anamolies out and here's hoping that Arsenal bring a heavy dose of reality to Leicester and return to the Arsenal we know that this club should be.</b><br />

<b>Theo Walcott got Arsenal even in the match with a goal in the 18th minute. It was then time for the Alexis Sanchez show to begin.

<b>When the starting lineup was released, Gooners on Twitter were going nuts seeing that David Ospina was starting in goal over summer signing Petr Cech. While it seemed a bit unfair considering that Ospina has performed well for Arsenal and is the starting keeper for Colombia, it seems as if fans had every reason to worry. Ospina had one of the worst howlers ever seen and probably went home and locked himself inside his apartment following the match. It was that bad.</b><br />

<b>After a fantastic pre-season which saw Arsenal pick up three trophies, the season kicks off today at home to West Ham.

<b>With a Sunday match, a number of other EPL teams played yesterday and there were some interesting results. As was the case often last season, Man United were gifted a win that they didn't deserved. The fact that it was against Tottenham makes it a bit easier to accept. Meanwhile, Moanrinho's Chelsea saw their goal keeper sent off and they hung on at home to draw with Swansea 2-2. Chelsea will now be without their number one keeper for several matches and isn't it ironic that the guy that would have filled in, Cech, is now in goal for us!</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>So here's to a successful and winning season. Come on you Gunners!</b><br />

<b>That sucked! What an abject, pathetic, uninspired, disappointing fiasco this was. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Petr Cech had a shaky start to his Arsenal career while allowing two West Ham goals and despite 62% of the possession and close to three times as many shots on target Arsenal couldn't get on the score sheet.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Arsenal came in to the season opener with momentum riding very high and for whatever reason seemed to not show up. Whether they took their opposition too lightly or it was just one of those days, losing at home to a weaker opponent took away all the positive vibes surrounding the club prior to the match. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>This was one of those matches where a media and Twitter ban are immediately imposed. Let's just hope that this was a one off .</b><br />

<b>It's time to get this season going. The Gunner's opening day loss to West Ham has led to a week of media and fan abuse of Arsenal and Arsene Wenger.

<b>While Liverpool have traditionally been one of the top clubs in England, I hope that the Arsenal players truly look at the competition that they are up against as opposed to the name of the club they will face. This Liverpool side should not bring fear to anyone and if Arsenal don't overthink it, they should come out with a victory. The level of talent between the two sides is no comparison. It's time that this belief that we hear about among the Arsenal squad shows itself on the pitch.</b><br />

<b>A win is a win, but this was not a vintage Arsenal performance by any means. When Newcastle striker Aleksandar Mitrovic saw red in the 16th minute, it should have been a cake walk for the Gunners. Instead, eleven man Arsenal slogged it out with ten man Newcastle and Arsenal's game deciding goal was credited to Newcastle's Fabricio Coloccini.</b><br />

<b>A look at the statistics, however, tell a completely different story. Arsenal had 74% of the possession, 29 shots to Newcastle's 1 and 9 corners versus 0 for Newcastle. Arsenal fans are used to stats like these as there have been many frustrating matches where the Gunners have dominated but not put away the opposition. That was again the case here. The team needs to become more proficient at finishing and worry less about the pretty passing and touches. With players like Ozil, Sanchez, Ramsey and Cazorla setting up the goals, Giroud, Walcott and the rest of the offense need to put the ball in the back of the net on a more consistent basis.</b><br />

<b>It's just 64 days since Arsenal won their second consecutive FA Cup over Aston Villa at Wembley Stadium and the new EPL season is upon us. First up is the traditional season kick off of the league winners taking on the FA Cup champions. So it's a match up of the egotistical one versus the very classy Arsene Wenger. Arsenal are being talked up as possible title contenders this season and this is a great opportunity to make a statement.</b><br />

<b>As a lifelong Mets fan living in a Yankees town you get used to taking grief from fellow sports fans. The Mets have a way of breaking their fans' hearts on a regular basis and causing frustration, depression and downright angst. However, when you're a true fan you stick with your team through all the misery with the hope that one day they'll turn it around and you'll finally taste victory.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Sports is a business, however, and players come and go. Generally they are looking out for themselves and are out for the biggest paycheck. The days of player loyalty to an organization are pretty much gone and, to be fair, I can understand the concept of looking out for number one. When you look at it from a fans perspective, however, it feels like betrayal when a player you've supported and cheered for leaves your team and suddenly changes allegiance to a new club and set of fans.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>That's why a player like David Wright is a favorite among Mets fans. When he had the chance to leave the Mets for greener pastures (or at least a team with a winning record) he sat down with Mets management and declared that he wanted to stay a Met. He signed a contract that would keep him with the only professional organization he had ever been with through 2020 when he will be 37. He wanted to be part of the solution in helping make the Mets a winner instead of taking the easy way out and joining an already stacked team.</b><br />

<br />
<b>Then there's Wilmer Flores. While not yet a superstar like David Wright, Flores has been with the Mets organization since he was 16 years old and has yet to really establish himself as an everyday player. He's had a number of ups and downs this season as he's finally getting the chance to play everyday. Flores has been questioned by fans and has at times looked shaky in the field. Yet, the player has kept his mouth shut, never complained publicly and has continued to conduct himself like a professional and go out everyday and try to improve his game and help the Mets win.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Wilmer Flores is no longer an unknown ballplayer. That's not because he's suddenly become a superstar, it's because he showed something that is rarely seen in sports these days...real human emotion and loyalty.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>With the trade deadline approaching and the Mets in need of a strong bat to keep any hope of making a playoff run alive, reports started circulating on reputable websites and then Twitter. It was reported that the Mets had traded pitcher Dan Wheeler and Flores to the Milwaukee Brewers in return for former Met Carlos Gomez. Even the MLB website had the story posted.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>News of the trade spread and Flores was informed of the trade during a home game versus the Padres at Citi Field. Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling discussed the trade during the broadcast and even questioned why Flores was still in the lineup after being traded.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>As Flores went to play the field in the top of the 8th it was apparent that he had been crying. He did his best to wipe his eyes with his sleeve but he couldn't hide the fact that the news of the "trade" had come to his attention and it was obvious that he was not happy about it.</b><br />
<br />
<center>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LiIkjt1EF3w" width="560"></iframe></center>
<br />
<br />
<b>When Manager Terry Collins was alerted to the fact that Flores was upset and had been crying he had no idea why. When he asked why, he was told that Flores had been traded.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Collins response was, "To who? For what"</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It was only after the game had ended that the real story emerged. Apparently a deal had been in place, but in the end it did not go through. In post game interviews General Manager Sandy Alderson made it clear that there was no trade.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Whatever the reason was, the trade never became official. Reporters had jumped the gun in reporting the story and social media had rapidly spread the news to fans. Everyone seemed to know that Wilmer Flores had been traded...except for the fact that he hadn't been.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>After the dust had settled, Flores explained that he had become emotional as he did not want to leave the Mets organization. He had signed for the club when he was 16 and news that he would be moving on truly upset him.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Flores became a lead news story on sports shows and even the major television network news programs. He was lauded for showing human emotion that is rarely seen by professional athletes.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>That was on Wednesday.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>On Friday, the story took another turn and Wilmer Flores became a true cult hero.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>After making a great play in the field, Flores received a standing ovation from the fans at Citi Field. The same happened every time he came to the plate and when he drove in the Mets first run with a single.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Then came the bottom of the 12th inning in a must win game versus the Mets' division rivals, the Washington Nationals. Hollywood could not even have scripted what happened next. Flores came to the plate and cracked a long game winning home run over the center field fence.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>

<b>Flores was mobbed by his teammates, cheered by the fans and became a worldwide trending topic on Twitter.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>In an age when all news seems to be horrible and tragic, it's great to see a feel good story fueled by true emotion being recognized and applauded. Thank you to Wilmer Flores for making us Mets fans proud. Your loyalty and commitment are inspirational and maybe that's what this team needs to FINALLY get a championship team for all of us loyal and committed Mets fans!</b><br />

<b>Perhaps sensing that they had done enough, Arsenal seemed to concentrate on maintaining the ball in the second half rather than running up the score.

<b>Frustration, disappointment and overall disgust are the feelings all Arsenal fans must have felt after this match. Despite dominating the match from beginning to end, it was Swansea that walked away with the points. As if it was deja vu, the same player that handed us defeat at Swansea earlier in the season, came off the bench and scored the winner late in the match. Bafetimbi Gomis headed home in the 85th minute and that was that.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>Arsenal had been on a fantastic run and of course it was bound to end at some point, but to lose in this fashion was a reminder of some of Arsenal's recent shortcomings. The team has had a tendency over the past few seasons to dominate possession, shots on goal and corners, yet end up without all three points. This one really hurt as on paper Arsenal should have taken the match. Unfortunately, Arsenal's finishing was missing and the needed goals never came. One lapse in concentration and Swansea scored. It was a frustrating match that needs to be seen as a blip as the club looks to finish in the top 3 and of course win a second consecutive FA Cup.</b><br />

<b>Once again an Arsenal match versus Manchester United proved to be less than satisfying. Despite the fact that Arsenal have a better team and should have easily handled LVG's bunch, the Gunners went in to the half down 1-0. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The introduction of Theo Walcott in the second half added a bit of pace to the Arsenal attack and the breakthrough came in the 82nd minute when a deflected Theo Walcott cross gave the Gunners an equalizing goal. The goal was credited to ManUre defender Tyler Blackett as an own goal. Regardless Walcott had a lot to do with it and the match ended 1-1.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>While it was disappointing in the end not to defeat LVG's club, the 1-1 draw guaranteed that Arsenal retained their spot above ManUre in the table. All in all, it was a good point away at Old Trafford.</b><br />

<b>The last match of the season and what a big one this is. As the current holders of the FA Cup, Arsenal have the chance to retain their trophy with back to back FA Cup victories. The mood heading in to this match among Arsenal fans is confidence with a bit of caution. We've been down this road before and been left disappointed on numerous occasions. Even last year's FA Cup victory was an emotional roller coaster as Arsenal fell behind the inferior Hull by two goals only to come back and win the cup 3-2.</b><br />

<b>This year though, Arsenal are heading in to this match with a head of steam and a lot of confidence. Despite a bit of a speed bump with the Swansea and Sunderland matches, Arsenal got back on track with last weekend's final EPL match of the season versus West Brom. The return of Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott to the starting lineup proved a master stroke and the only problem Arsenal are facing heading in to the FA Cup Final is which players should be starting. That's a nice problem to have.</b><br />

<b>For all the grief he has taken all season from pundits, haters and the #WengerOut brigade, Arsene Wenger showed that he knows exactly what he is doing. His decision to reward Theo Walcott's brilliant performance versus West Brom last weekend with a start over Olivier Giroud paid off big time.</b><br />

<b>Arsenal's breakthrough didn't come until the 40th minute, but despite the time it took to get on the score sheet, it never looked uncertain as to which team would come out victorious. Theo Walcott's left footed shot in to the left corner of the net got by Shay Given and Walcott's reaction was pure joy. (Based on Wenger's decision to start Theo and the player's reaction to scoring, it looks pretty likely that Walcott will be signing a new Arsenal contract).</b><br />

<b>In order to keep the momentum going, Arsenal will need to put Liverpool in its place and hopefully exact some revenge for that humiliating defeat at Anfield in February 2014. Liverpool had been the "in form team" heading in to the last round of fixtures...however, after being defeated at home by ManUre and seeing captain Stevie G. being sent off after less than one minute, that feel good vibe seems to have dissipated. In addition to Gerard missing out on the trip to the Emirates, Martin Skrtel will also miss the match after he somehow stamped on ManUre goalkeeper David DeGea (Skrtel pleaded innocence, but the video doesn't lie).</b><br />

<b>Now that's what you call a first half showing! Liverpool might have had a couple of moments where they looked dangerous but once Arsenal made their breakthrough with Hector Bellerin showed that he's more than just a defender and skipped through the Liverpool "defenders" as if they were invisible to give Arsenal a 1-0 lead. From there it was eight minutes of pure joy!</b><br />

<b>Arsenal have won seven straight EPL matches and look set to make it eight today as they take on Burnley. Burnely have put in some impressive performances this season, but they still sit in 19th place and are facing relegation. On paper this should be an easy Arsenal victory, but as we've all come to experience there are no easy matches at this level and no team should be taken lightly.</b><br />

<b>With 63 points, Arsenal find themselves in second place seven points behind Chelsea who still have a game in hand. Several weeks ago it was all about Chelsea and Man City battling it out for the title. Now, it's Arsenal that are trailing Chelsea. While it's unlikely that Arsenal could catch Chelsea, the fact that this is even a part of the conversation is amazing considering the doom and gloom and constant Wenger Out whining from some of the fan base earlier this season.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>With the Sheikh's 4th place team facing ManUre tomorrow, one or both of those teams will lose points which further help's Arsenal's cause of finishing as high as possible in the league.</b><br />

<b>Another three points for the Arsenal after a well deserved 0-1 victory. This one was a bit of a different Arsenal performance, but just as equally enjoyable. Instead of running rampant and trying to score the perfect goal with every possession, this match was more about ball control and not giving Burnley a chance on the ball. It was a defensive masterclass.</b><br />

<b>In the past a single goal lead would have been a nerve wracking, heart attack waiting to happen for fans. This was not that. The one goal lead was almost equivalent to a three goal lead as Arsenal looked poised, confident and impenetrable throughout the match. Burnley may have had one or two instances where they caused a moment of fear, but overall they were unable to break through the Arsenal defense and put any significant threat on the Arsenal goal.</b><br />

<b>It almost looked like Arsenal weren't even trying to score a second goal. Not to disparage Burnley, but at times it seemed as if Wenger used this match to try a different game plan. After Aaron Ramsey's goal in the 12th minute, it was as if the Arsenal offense had done its job and the team now practiced ball control and defense to close out the next 78 minutes. It was almost like a kids' game of keep away at times. More goals would have been enjoyable, but this type of performance was a throwback to the glory days of the 1-0 to the Arsenal/Boring Boring Arsenal days when the team was a dominant force. I like both sides of this current Arsenal team.</b><br />

<b>When I first started following Arsenal in the late 90's, it was Arsenal that always came out in these matches. I'm hoping that we can start to turn the tide back to the way it used to be.</b><br />

<b>While it's still technically possible for Arsenal to win the title, it's unlikely that Chelsea will blow their lead. Regardless, a win would be a great way to give Chelsea a message for the future and of course it would give Arsenal the points they need to secure a top 2 finish.</b><br />

<b>Funny how fast things can change. All season long the pundits have been throwing arrows at Arsenal and Arsene Wenger while praising the "tactical genius" of Louis Van Gaal. Despite the fact that it was obvious to all how terrible ManU has been all season, the media has continually been kissing the team's collective butts. The luck that this mess of a squad has had is best summed up in their undeserved victory over Newcastle when World Cup hero <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrhRpjOWEbs">Tim Krul literally gave United the winning goal.</a></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger has been treated like garbage by the media (as well as a number of Arsenal fans sadly). There have definitely been trouble spots and bad performances this season, but what a lot of folks seem to forget, is that it's not where you are in the middle of the season that matters....it's where you are at the end.</b><br />

<b>Wenger got his tactics down perfectly as Arsenal went to Old Trafford in an FA Cup 6th round match. It was a great opportunity to take on the media darling LVG and his less than impressive band of misfits. It was as if the day's events had been written for a Hollywood script. The spurned player, comes back to his old home and sticks it to his former family. When it was announced that Danny Welbeck was starting up front in place of Olivier Giroud barbs were being thrown Wenger's way. Lots of fans and pundits were questioning his decision. Well, it worked out perfectly and Wenger should get credit for having the balls to go with Welbeck. Perhaps he saw it as an opportunity for Welbeck to shine and show LVG that he was mistaken. What player wouldn't be motivated to go back to the club that kicked him to the curb and be a hero? Welbeck rose to the occasion and it had to be completely gratifying to stick it to his old club. Congrats Danny.</b><br />

<b>The week got even better when the obnoxious, arrogant, windbag Jose Mourinho and his band of Chelsea thugs got sucker punched by PSG. What a joy it was to see his cheating side given a wake up call. When Oscar and Zlatan Ibrahimović collided while going for the ball, the Chelsea players surrounded the ref and demanded that Ibrahimovic be sent off. Unfortunately this ref was not as brave and fair as Michael Oliver was in Manchester and allowed the Chelsea mob to make the decision for him. PSG were down to 10 men in the 31st minute.</b><br />

<b>Level at 1-1, Chelsea had the edge having scored in Paris. Down to 10 so early in the match, PSG seemed doomed. PSG held on but in the 81st minute, Gary Cahill gave the home team a 2-1 advantage. PSG were still in the match as they needed a goal regardless if Chelsea had scored or not. Enter former Chelsea defender David Luiz. His header in the 86th minute sent the match to extra time.</b><br />

<b>Now it was time for Thiago Silva to take center stage as he went from goat to hero. His handball in the 96th minute gave Chelsea the penalty they would probably have been gifted at some point anyhow. Hazard scored and again PSG were on the ropes with just ten men. Silva came through with just six minutes remaining with a powerful header to give PSG the edge in away goals. PSG held on and that was that Chelsea had every advantage in this match, including playing 90 minutes with an extra man and they blew it. Karma baby. It's a bitch. Now the current <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2559423/Arsene-Wenger-specialist-failure-Jose-Mourinho-sparks-new-war-words-Arsenal-boss.html">"specialist in failure"</a> realizes what goes around comes around. </b><br />

<b>Arsenal are back to third in the table with a 2-0 victory over Everton. While it was not Arsenal at its fluid best, the performance was good and there were some promising signs that the defensive shortcomings are being addressed. The most noticeable change was Gabriel coming in for the much maligned Per Mertesacker. Gabriel looked strong and made some important tackles. I would prefer to see a lot more of Gabriel and a lot less of the BFG. It's become clear that Per is just not good enough for Arsenal.</b><br />

<b>Giroud scored an amazing goal from an Ozil corner.

<b>QPR is a match that shouldn't instill a lot of fear in the hearts of Arsenal fans. However, as we've all learned, nothing can be taken for granted. It looks as if Koscielny will get a rest and Mertesacker will come back in to the squad and be paired with Gabriel in the center of the defense. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Despite suffering a fractured nose of the weekend, Francis Coquelin retains his place in the squad.</b><br />

<b>I am about as nervous as if I was playing in this match. After years of Manure owning us, now is the time to finally put things in order. What worries me, and probably most Arsenal fans, is that despite the obvious fact that this current United side are crap, Arsenal always seem to cave in, psyche themselves out or self destruct when we play them. It's as if the ghost of Fergie and Howard Webb's stopwatch of added injury time is haunting Arsenal.</b><br />

<b>YES....FINALLY....a convincing win for Arsenal at Old Trafford. Not only that, the player that the footballing genius LVG told was not good enough to play for ManUre and then sold to Arsenal was the one to come back and score the winning goal. I can only imagine in 10 years time there will be a film version of the story....it could be called something like, "Welbeck...the Redemption, the Revenge...the Shaming of Manchester United"!</b><br />

<b>Adding to the overall thrill of victory over the much hated United and the fact that their reject was the one to come back and burn them, was <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/fa-league-cups/did-referee-michael-oliver-have-a-good-game-as-arsenal-beat-manchester-united-it-depends-who-you-ask-10097190.html">the performance of the game's referee...Michael Oliver</a>. When Hector Bellerin was given a yellow card in the 4th minute (which he deserved), I was afraid of what was to come. I shouldn't have been, because what was to come was a fair, evenly called, consistent ref job that is rarely if ever seen anymore. </b><br />

<b>Fans of every team have become used to the United home match favoritism that dates back to Adam and Eve. Well, not this time. You dive to win a penalty, you get yellow carded (yes you you <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/fa-league-cups/adnan-januzaj-now-has-as-many-yellow-cards-for-diving-as-he-does-goals-in-his-manchester-united-career-10097379.html">cheater </a><a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/fa-league-cups/adnan-januzaj-now-has-as-many-yellow-cards-for-diving-as-he-does-goals-in-his-manchester-united-career-10097379.html">Januzaj</a>). You simulate contact to get a penalty, you get yellow carded (yes you Angel DiMaria you 60 million pound cheating has been)...you pull at the shirt of the referee after you get yellow carded because you cost 60 million pounds and used to play for Real Madrid, you get your second yellow within 10 seconds and are sent off (yes you Angel DiMaria). Add to that the ridiculous thug that is Marouane Fellaini, who you can almost guarantee intentionally hit Francis Coquelin in the face within the first five minutes. Having sustained a broken nose in a recent, Fellaini apparently felt the only way to get the best of the player was to knock him out of the match. The problem for the mop topped tree was that his thug tactics didn't work. <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-2987010/Arsenal-midfield-general-Francis-Coquelin-wars-clash-Marouane-Fellaini-FA-Cup-tie-Manchester-United.html">Coquelin had the better of Fellainin throughout the entire match.</a></b><br />

<b>To be fair, Arsenal were not at their best...but FINALLY, ManU did not benefit from lucky breaks (Tim Krul, Fergie time, phantom penalties) and the poor side that they really are was exposed. Resorting to long balls to Fellaini and cheating did not work. Their <span class="_Tgc">£24 million loanee remained on the bench the entire match, while the player that wasn't good enough to be a part of LVG's team scored the winner for the opposition. As the saying goes, karma is a bitch. Even the phantom 5 minutes of Fergie time didn't benefit this hapless bunch. The only thing that would have made the night better would have been Judas Van Persie on the pitch to suffer defeat to the team he felt was going in the wrong "direction".</span></b><br />

<b><span class="_Tgc">Stand outs in the match were Nacho Monreal who owned Cheater DiMaria and scored a goal worthy of any striker set up beautifully by Ozil and the Ox.

They stuck to the game plan and outside of Shrek's goal, kept ManUre at bay all night.</span></b><br />

<b>West Ham defended well in the first half and despite a majority of the possession,m Arsenal were unable to get the breakthrough goal....that is until Olivier Giroud sent in a screamer literally in the last second of the first half. It truly was an impressive strike. Whatever tension had been in the air eased as the half ended.</b><br />

<b>Tuesday, March 17, 2015 Arsenal at Monaco 3:45PM EST Champions League Round of 16 Second Leg</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Arsenal head to Monaco with hope, but the task at hand is a tough one. Having embarrassed themselves three weeks ago at the Emirates, Arsenal are down 3-1 with 90 minutes left to turn things around. Arsenal must score at least 3 goals to have any chance of progressing while keeping Monaco off the score sheet. Hopes are high, but most fans have realistic expectations after the shambolic display in the first leg. Arsenal have made a habit of defeating top competition in one leg of Champions League matches yet coming up short on aggregate (Barcelona, Bayern Munich, AC Milan). Fingers crossed, but it'll be touch to accomplish.</b><br />
<br />
<b>Great to see such optimism among Arsenal fans at <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MiracleInMonaco?src=hash">#MiracleInMonaco</a> is currently a trending hashtag!</b><br />

<br />
Why didn't Arsenal play like this back in London? Total Arsenal domination and Giroud was able to make the breakthrough in the 36th minute. There were several other good chances and close calls as well as a bogus diving yellow card given to Sanchez when he was felled in the box. Sanchez is so good he doesn't needed to cheat...a totally bogus card. Arsenal need 2 in the second half. Fingers are still crossed.<br />

<b>January ended on a positive note for Arsenal with a confidence boosting victory over Oil City at the Etihad, followed by an FA Cup fourth round win that puts the team through to the final 16.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>A visit by Aston Villa to the Emirates should be a fixture that won't give Arsenal too many problems. However, as we've seen before, no club should be taken lightly. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Last season, Villa came to the Emirates in the first game of the season and pulled a shock upset over Arsenal. This year's Villa side has very little momentum and has had a hard time scoring goals. </b><br />

<b>Alexis Sanchez may be rested for this match due to a sore hamstring. This would be a good match to rest the Chilean and let the others lead the charge. Ozil and Walcott are back and Rosicky and Cazorla have been in great form. One other player to look for is Arsenal's new number 5, Gabriel Paulista. The centre back completed his move from Villareal last week and Arsenal finally have some defensive coverage that they have been missing. </b><br />

<b>Villa were unable to do much with their possession and Arsenal put the game out of reach in the second half with the returning Ozil and Walcott getting on the score sheet. When substitute Chuba Akpom was fouled by goalkeeper Brad Guzan, the amazing Santi Cazorla easily slotted home the penalty to make it 4-0. Further damage was inflected when the impressive youngster Hector Bellerin scored his first Arsenal goal from 30 yards out in the 90th minute. The final 5-0 score almost flattered Aston Villa who were played off the pitch and have now gone six league matches without scoring a goal.</b></div>

<b>1-0 up in less than 15 minutes courtesy of an Ozil goal and confidence was growing. Then the unthinkable happened. Arsenal allowed Spuds to dominate possession and then concede 2 goals to the current flavor of the week Harry Kane. In the end it was a 2-1 defeat and I was glad that I wasn't in London to hear the abuse. There's nothing more to say except....why Arsenal lose to inferior teams such as Manure & Spuds is inexplicable and needs to be addressed. </b><br />

<b>Nothing like a midweek match against a last place club to help fans forget about this past weekend's debacle at Shite Hart Lane. Nothing but victory will be acceptable today. There are only 14 matches left and with Arsenal having dropped too many unacceptable points so far this season, the wrongs have to be corrected NOW. Sitting behind Tottenham in the table at this point in the season is just wrong. Hopefully Liverpool can put Spuds back below us and Arsenal can move on to climbing above the boring & pathetic ManUre, the surprising Southampton and maybe even the despicable oil barons of Manchester.</b><br />

<b>This was what you would call an ugly win. Arsenal took a 2-0 lead in to the half and it looked like it could be another Arsenal romp. However, Arsenal were flat in the second half and after Leicester got one back in the 61st minute the match became more of a nail biter than it should have been.</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>On the plus side was the fact that Alexis Sanchez was back in the lineup and Gooners would finally get to see our prized assets of Ozil, Sanchez and Walcott together on the pitch. With Rosicky and Cazorla also in the mix expectations were high. Ozil was excellent for much of the match and was the creator of both Arsenal goals. His corner in the 27th minute was smashed in to the back of the net by Koscielny. Then in the 41st minute he sent in a blazing shot of his own which the Leicester keeper made a great save on, but the rebound bounced in front of Theo Walcott who finished what Ozil started.</b><br />

<b>On the negative side, Sanchez took a few knocks and didn't yet seem back to his high standards. Ramsey came on as a sub and within nine minutes motioned that he had to come off. The extent of the injury is not yet known. Another major negative of the match was the terrible officiating.</b><br />

<b>Mike Jones may have been on crack or something but he called the match as if he was Stevie Wonder. Leicester defender Danny Simpson handled the ball twice without a call. In fact his second infraction involved him falling on top of the ball and handling it as he got back up. Jones allowed play to continue despite the obvious hand ball and of course that's when Leicester scorer. Simpson in fact could have been issued at least four yellow cards, but he must have something on Jones as he was able to throw himself around as if he played for Stoke.</b><br />

<b>The funniest and most inane call of the match came late in the game when Mark Schwazer took a goal kick which hit Olivier Giroud in the back as he was heading back to defend. Jones issued Giroud a yellow card. Maybe it was really for the fact that Giroud is just too gorgeous, but getting a card for being hit from behind by a ball kicked by your opponent is ridiculous.</b><br />

<b>Arsenal's quest to retain the cup continues. With Chelsea, Citeh and Spuds all dropping in the last round, a golden opportunity to do just that has been presented. Middlesbrough visit the Emirates for the 5th round and the one time Premier League club are currently second in the Championship. They cannot be taken lightly, especially after dumping the Oil Barons of Manchester out in the last round. Fingers crossed that the Arsenal get it done today!</b><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b>An amazing team performance from Arsenal with many stand out players; including Santi Cazorla, Mesut Ozil, Olivier Giroud and Kieran Gibbs. The final score of 2-0 doesn't do justice to the domination that Arsenal held throughout the match.</b><br />

<b>Despite Arsenal being in control from kickoff to the final whistle, both goals came within two minutes of each other. In the 27th minute Cazorla and Gibbs combined to set up Giroud for the breakthrough. This came about after every Arsenal player on the pitch had touched the ball. Giroud got his second in the 29th minute off of a Sanchez cross. Giroud volleyed the ball from a tricky angle in to the back of the net. It was a beautiful goal that was equally difficult as well as skillful. </b><br />

<b>It's back to league action today and Crystal Palace away is on tap. I saw Arsenal play Crystal Palace last season at the Emirates (2-0 to the Arsenal, Ox scored both goals) and I was amazed at the level of noise that the traveling Palace fans made. That said, I expect the atmosphere at Selhurst Park to be loud and Arsenal will need to block out the crowd and get down to business. A win is a must.</b><br />

<b>Crystal Palace deserve credit, however, for giving it a real go. Arsenal were forced to defend often in the second half and a third goal that would have made the match more comfortable never came.

<b>It was nice to see Arsenal grind out a win. Successful teams are ones that figure out how to win even when they are not at the top of their game. With Champions League action coming in four days, it was obvious that Arsenal were already thinking ahead to their meeting with Monaco.</b><br />

<b>For what seems like the first time, Arsenal actually got lucky in the Champions League Draw. Instead of Bayern Munich or Barcelona, the club was drawn against Monaco. Much is being made of Arsene Wenger's reunion with his former club, but the bottom line is this is a match-up that Arsenal can, and should, win. </b><br />

<b>My enforced media lock down is over and I am finally able to speak of what can only be described as a humiliating and pathetic defeat at the hands of Monaco. It was pretty much assumed that Arsenal would easily handle the French League side, but it was the other way around. The Arsenal defense seemed to have left the building and Arsenal were caught napping three times with Monaco easily able to score each time. </b><br />

<b>Giroud had a bad night and missed a boat load of chances, but to be fair, the entire team was off. So that easy draw proved to be not as easy as first thought. Now Arsenal have it all to do in the return leg at Monaco on March 17th. Arsenal would need to score three and keep Monaco off the scoring sheet in order to go through. It's possible, but the overall feeling is that Arsenal once again blew an opportunity to advance in Europe's elite club competition.</b><br />
