Has Tottenham’s comeback at the Emirates last week really knocked the wind out of Arsenal’s sails? Would the result against Stoke have been different if the Gunners had managed to hold on to their lead against their arch-rivals? It’s hard to tell, although it’s clear that Arsene Wenger’s men were outfought at the Britannia on […]

We’re only just into November, yet it would take a brave man to claim that the Gunners can still win the Premier League title. Arsenal are now six points off the pace after their 2-1 defeat at Stoke City and, while they continue to play some of the best football in the division, it appears […]

Have Arsenal got back on track after their 4-0 thumping of FC Twente? The proof of the pudding will be on Saturday evening, when Newcastle ride into town, having picked up four points from their opening two matches.
