Match Review: Hull City 1 Arsenal 3 - Premier League 04.05.15

The league title may have proved a step too far for Arsenal this season, but on Monday night they turned on the style and sent out a reminder that this side can produce some truly magic football. Not many would have predicted that we would be the closest challengers to Chelsea this season, but the team is showing signs of taking the next step and mounting a serious challenge for the title after being also-rans for so long.

Match Review: Arsenal 0 Chelsea 0 - Premier League 26.04.15

The title race came to its inevitable conclusion on Sunday as Chelsea wildly celebrated a 0-0 draw at the Emirates. Really, the title race was over weeks ago but the draw put to bed any notion of Chelsea being usurped at the summit. There can’t be many complaints, Chelsea have been the best team in the league this season and they did what they needed to do on the day. For our part, I think we can take a lot of positives from the game and from the season as a whole.

Match Review: Reading 1 Arsenal 2 (AET) - FA Cup 18.04.15

For the 19th time, Arsenal will contest the FA Cup final and for the second year in a row. It sets an impressive record in the competition, but our performance in getting there was anything but impressive. Our last three trips to Wembley in the FA Cup have needed extra time, after we scraped past Wigan, edged out Hull and now have squeezed past Reading. It wouldn’t be Arsenal if we didn't make a drama of it.
