Will Wenger take Porto Seriously? Age of Miracles (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

Arsenal will get back from Portugal in the early hours of Thursday morning, just over 48 hours later they will play away at Middlesboro.

The truth about those pink boots - Chelsea Preview (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

I can't understand why people can get so excited by Bendtner's pink boots; it's the colour of his nose that concerns me more. The guy behind me on Tuesday was reduced to hysteria over it, and proceeded to slag off Bendtner as if his life depended on it.

Some Positives as Curse of Extra Time Strikes (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

Many Arsenal fans would have accepted a draw before the game started, and those who didn't, surely would have after the first 30 minutes. Villa peppered the Arsenal woodwork again and again, but unlike Strictly Come Dancing there are no points for fancy footwork. A great game for the neutral, but we are not neutrals.

Wenger lowers his sights for title (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

Wenger believes that the draw against Boro was a step up, that earlier this season the team may well have lost. If he believes that he is certainly lowering his sights. I find that very reassuring, he has a plan that includes a roadmap of obscure towns in Eastern Europe. I've always wondered what people watch on TV on a Tuesday or Wednesday night, now's my chance to find out.

No Regrets - Will Miracle Continue? (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

Arsene Wenger has no regrets that he sacrificed top place in the CL group to have a fit team for the Boro game. I can't say I blame him, I just wish his team had shown a little more spirit at Porto, and not just rolled over. However the important thing now is that the sacrifice proves to be worthwhile.

Magic of the Cup - Wenger must play strong team (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

Arsenal have won the cup more times than any other team except Manchester United. Arsenal are 30 places higher than the Pilgrims in the Championship. It would be nice to equal Man U's record, and to be realistic the cup is the main chance that Arsenal will have of silverware this season.

LAST PIECE IN THE ARSENAL REDEVELOPMENT JIGSAW (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

In October 2008 Arsenal submitted a revised set of plans for the Queensland Road development. This is the "brownfield" site that lies to the south of the Emirates Stadium on the other side of the pedestrian ramp. The revised plans include a sports centre, that Arsenal Times helped to campaign for.

It's always brighter before false dawn (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

I refuse to treat the adventures of the kids as a meaningful omen on how the present first team will perform. After all when they won 6-0 the first team proceeded to lose 2-1 at home to Hull City. That is not the pattern I am referring to, rather I have in mind beating Bolton away then losing at home.

It is time to be scrooge Arsene - Pompey Preview (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

No I am not talking about transfers, where it is time to flash the cash, but about the generosity that this Arsenal team shows to teams and individuals down on their luck. Stuck in the relegation zone? Not scored for ten matches? Losing confidence? Don't worry Arsenal will fix it.

Greatness is as Greatness Does (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

Wenger is an honest man who can upset people who misunderstand him. So when he says that Arsenal controlled the game against Man City, some fans get riled and yell at the TV screen. But Wenger isn't wrong Arsenal had an amazing 66% possession. I am sure they had even more against Kyiv, and in a sense it is control.

Great Honour or a Burden? Send More Cops (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

In one of Romero's Zombie movies the living dead devour the police sent to apprehend them, then one of them grabs the police CB radio and barks, "send more cops". I don't quite know why but it reminds me of some of Wenger's methods. Gallas complains the kids are out of control so Arsene puts a kid in charge. Gallas must understand my analogy, or at least feel it.

Football World Divided After Late Winner (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

The Football World is divided as to whether Arsenal can win the league after William Gallas scored a late winner against Pompey. On one side all the Premiership managers, all the media, and most sane Arsenal fans say that Arsenal can't. On the other side Arsene Wenger says they can.

Eleventh man frustrates twelve men (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

As I predicted in my preview this was hardly a classic game, Liverpool were far too timid for that to happen. With Arsenal down to ten men for a third of the game they didn't manage more than five shots on target, or only four according to the BBC.

Ebooing - Arsenal fans- let's get some perspective (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

Can Arsenal get back into the top four? Must win (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

Aston Villa are now four points ahead of fifth placed Arsenal and in third place. They are ahead of Manchester United by two points. They had a large dollop of luck in beating West Ham, but they took their chance, and Brad Friedel was immense between the sticks (forgive the pun). He was man of the match.

Bury the Title at Wounded Knee-Six Pointer (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

I am not sure if it was a beautiful dream of title victory that died when Cesc limped off on Sunday, more like the withering of any last lingering hopes. Wenger’s strategy of winning the league by playing mediocre football except when playing a top four club was undermined by the loss of his captain. The loss of the only truly world class player in the squad.

Bendtner Nicks Macdonald's Mantle - More Cup Magic (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

When I say Bendtner has stolen Supermac's mantle I don't mean Malcolm's 57 goals in 108 games for Arsenal, although that would be quite handy. Nor am I referring to Mac's dodgy knee, no it is Supermac's ability to celebrate and claim goals he hadn't actually scored.

A very happy New Year from Arsenaltimes.com (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

Everyone at Arsenaltimes.com would like to wish all our users a very happy New Year. If you don't have a ticket for the first game of 2009 - the FA Cup tie with Plymouth Argyle - then you can probably get a Club level ticket at half price - as most of club level can't be arsed to turn up for a Championship team, plus it is only Plymouth.

A Great Captain Wins it For Arsenal (Arsenal Times - Arsenal F.C. - News)

The press seems obsessed about captains, apparently all victories are down to captains. Chelsea and England, according to the press have a great one. I won't mention his name here, but he didn't have a great game did he? He was lucky not to be the second Chelsea player sent off in a week. His team's spineless second half performance must have been most distressing for him.
