Arsenal Match Centre Archives: 06/2016

Following another 0-0 against Birmingham City Ladies, Arsenal Ladies are very likely to miss out on Champions League football for the fourth season in a row.

The Ladies registered a very professional victory over a poor Sunderland side by five goals to one; the Black Cats looked like the ghost of the side that was challenging for a Champions League place for most of last season.

Granit Xhaka and his Switzerland team-mates have been knocked out of this summer’s European Championships, following a nerve-racking defeat on penalties against a well-drilled Poland side in the first knockout fixture of the tournament.

Arsenal will apparently face Lens in a friendly on 22nd July according to teh French club.

It was a bad day at the office for Hector Bellerin and Petr Cech; Cech let in two goals while Hector didn’t get a look in.

France were held to a poor 0-0 draw against Switzerland on Sunday night but still finished top of Group A, which was the main target. Laurent Koscielny started the game and played 90 minutes.

Only four teams in the Premier League next season will travel fewer miles than Arsenal for away games next season with an average Gunners trip worked out to be 136 miles.

I’ve just spent the last couple of hours having the ‘pleasure’ of watching Roy Hodgson metamorphose from ‘incompetent buffoon’ into ‘tactical god’, all because of…

With France winning 2-0, it was the first clean sheet for the French defence in the tournament.

With France struggling, again, to score goals and relying on a late winner, it was a frustrating night for Olivier Giroud against Albania on Wednesday.

Dreaming: Arsenal fans always tell themselves they’re not going to do it this season but as soon as that fixture list is announced, we can’t help ourselves.

Liverpool face a tough task against Arsenal on the opening day of the season, if stats are anything to go by.

The Premier League fixtures list has been released and the Arsenal fans can now brace themselves for another rollercoaster season. For many fans, the fixture…

The fixtures for Arsenal’s 2016/17 season have been released and, as usual, some months don’t make pleasant reading.

All our Arsenal players, except for Hector Bellerin, have featured for their national teams in their opening matches of Euro 2016. Here’s how we think they’ve rated so far.

Olivier Giroud has hit back at his critics who still think he’s a donkey despite scoring eight in his last eight games for France with a better record than Karim Benzema for his country.

Granit Xhaka made his 44th international appearnce against Albania in Saturday’s Group A encounter – but all of the pre-match analysis surrounded the sibling rivalry between himself…

Having been booed, heavily criticised and had his selection for the competition questioned, Olivier Giroud showed actual mental strength on a night that he, more than anyone, needed to be.

In the absence of any actual news about Vardy or Henrikh Mkhitaryan it seems a good time to follow on from last week, where I covered the youth set-ups striking options in detail. This time I’m going to talk about attacking midfielders and wingers.

If this leaked 2016/17 fixture list is to be believed, Arsenal face a hellish December.
