Arsenal 3 - 1 Norwich...

My brother Simon and I went to watch the mighty Arsenal take on Norwich at the Emirates last Saturday afternoon. When they were 0-1 up Norwich cheated with fouls and time-wasting. The Norwich keeper Mark Bunn kindly let anyone in the ground visit the toilet and pick up a cup of tea before he took each goal kick.

It was a delight to see their time-wasting come undone as we scored 3 in the last few minutes and they had no time left to respond. Ha ha.


Update: We also both went to watch last night's 0 - 0 draw against Everton at the Emirates - which was a bit scrappy. The teams were pretty evenly matched. Olivier Giroud missed a couple of sitters though. Darron Gibson deserved a second yellow though and to be sent off after his nasty tackle against Theo Walcott. Still a point is a point.

Arsenal 5 - 1 West Ham...

A stuttering first half which saw the Arsenal struggle somewhat against West Ham United to level the score at 1 - 1 saw a blistering start to the second half with four goals in ten minutes. What a game!

Arsenal 7 - 3 Newcastle...


Last Saturday Paul and went to the late kick-off at the Emirates Stadium to watch the mighty Arsenal take on that "wee small club in the North" Newcastle. If it was an exciting and tense first half, it was a thrilling second.

The 10-goal thriller scoreline ran as follows:- 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, 3-2, 3-3. 4-3. 5-3. 6-3, and finally 7-3.

Theo Walcott scored three goals and set up two more. Sign him up!

Scorers:- Walcott 20′, 73′, 90′ Oxlade-Chamberlain 50′ Podolski 64′ Giroud 84′, 87′

Arsenal 2 - 0 Montpellier...

Jack Wiltshire is back. His first goal for the Gunners in two year's broke the first half deadlock and started the team on the road to a 2-0 victory and entrance to the lockout stages of the Champions League. After scoring he ran into the stands to embrace his physio. Bless.

The second goal came from Podolski whose powerful left-footed volley delightfully sealed the win.
