I know, I know, kind of an obvious headline for today's return to blogging from me, as I get back into the swing of it from Portugal. I boldly made the assumption based on previous years that when I come back from Portugal there'd be a shiny new signing confirmed, but sadly my good luck [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Thursday. It's another glorious day in London today, so I'm bringing my work stuff into the garden and do a proper old school "shall we take our workbooks outside, kids" situation for my working day. Screw it, life is too short. I wonder if that's how Mudryk is feeling today. [...]
Is it me, or does it feel like we're in a bit of a transfer washing machine at the moment? Going round and round and round with little changing... All I keep seeing when I log in to sports sites is: Gyokeres' agent and Arsenal still talking or Sesko bid is imminent or Arsenal still [...]
I didn't watch the Champions League final last night. I'm in Yorkshire with some of The Management's family over from New Zealand and we're doing a little bit of a holiday and, frankly, I didn't want to spoil it by watching a game that I feel we could/should have been in. Give me an Arsenal [...]
It's funny, because I do this every season, but I forget that this time of the year is the worst when it comes to the football period. If your team isn't successful, that is, because it all feels a little barren. In about a week or two's time, the euphoria from other fans has warn off [...]
Yesterday The Arsenal Women had a trophy lift session at The Emirates and I have to say, it was some really positive #content for us to watch and re-watch, after a difficult season for the Men's team. And if you think about it, it has also been difficult for the women too; they didn't start [...]
I thought we saw a relatively relaxed Mikel Arteta at his press conference yesterday. I wonder if it was the sun, the fact that he was starting to get over recent disappointments, the tone of the questioning, or maybe it was that he got to deliver good news to the media on Kai Havertz. Naturally [...]
It's the penultimate press conference of the season today and I'll bet Mikel Arteta can't wait to be shot of them at this stage. It'll be more of the same as he's had in the last few weeks and I suspect he'll have to go on the defensive a bit for the form. Other than [...]
As you'd expect it's a wee bit quiet out there on the Arsenal front, save for the odd spurious transfer rumour, although I have to say my thinking has been dominated by the potential absence of Declan Rice for this weekend. Having been pretty clear of most of the Champions League chasing pack all season, [...]
In what will inevitably now feel like the longest end to a Premier League season ever, Mikel Arteta will today be subjected to quite a painful press conference experience, I'd wager. Not only does he have to sit in front of the press and talk about the fallout from the PSG defeat and exit in [...]
