Arsenal 4 - 1 WBA...

Paul and I went to the Emirates Stadium on Sunday to watch the last Premiership game of the season. And it was a great win for the mighty Arsenal FC against West Bromwich Albion FC. So that placed us 3rd in the table this year - better than last year but let's face it a long way off 1st. Can we do it next year? I hope so but I doubt it. Chelsea just look too strong. We'll be cheering them all the way though.

Arsenal Finishes Third...

Arsenal secured their place in next season's Champions League with a thrilling victory at the Hawthorns that owed much to a series of errors made by West Brom goalkeeper Marton Fulop.

The 3-2 victory means Arsene Wenger's side finish the season in third place which considering that we were 17th in the League last October isn't too bad.

It's sure been a roller-coaster of a season. Now if only we can hang on to Robin van Persie...

Arsenal's End of Season Maybes...

Arsene Wenger's side are in pole position to finish third and guarantee Champions League qualification - but any slip-up for the Gunners at West Brom could let in Tottenham, particularly as their goal difference is only one ahead of Spurs, or even Newcastle.

Arsenal will finish third: if they win; if they draw and Tottenham fail to win; if they lose (by any margin), Tottenham lose and Newcastle fail to win; or if they lose by a single goal, Tottenham draw or lose, and Newcastle fail to win.

Arsenal will finish fourth: if they draw and Tottenham win; if they lose (by any margin), Tottenham win and Newcastle fail to win; if they lose (by any margin), Tottenham lose and Newcastle win; if they lose by a single goal, Tottenham draw and Newcastle win; or if they lose by two or more goals, Tottenham draw and Newcastle fail to win.

The doomsday scenario of Arsenal finishing fifth can only occur if they lose (by any margin) and Tottenham and Newcastle both win; or if they lose by two or more goals, Tottenham draw and Newcastle win.

Newcastle 0 - 4 Arsenal...

One for sorrow, Two for joy, Three for a girl, Four for a boy.... Magpiiiiiies!

Arsenal marched into the Quarter-Finals of the Carling Cup with a convincing win at Newcastle United last night. Four goals - one crazy, one controversial and two classy – did the trick to leave Arsène Wenger’s side just two steps from Wembley.

An attempted nodded clearance from Ryan Taylor hit his own keeper Tim Krul before going into the Magpies net to give Arsenal the lead. Theo Walcott raced through and dinked in a second after Nicklas Bendtner appeared to block a Magpies defender as he came back from an offside position.

Bendtner then curled in a shot and Walcott slotted in Arsenal's fourth.
So Arsenal join Aston Villa, Birmingham City, Ipswich Town, Manchester United, West Brom, West Ham United and Wigan Athletic in the draw for the quarter-finals this Saturday.
