Sweating on Bukayo for this weekend

Losing isn't fun and I'm still smarting a bit from that needless defeat to Lens last night. However, I wonder how PSG fans are feeling this morning, having seen their side battered (scoreline-wise) against Newcastle at St James' last night. I was thinking about that result and how much of a big thing for Newcastle [...]

Arsenal won’t Mbappe, will they?

There are some very wishful thinkers in the Arsenal fanbase, that's for sure, because if anybody thinks that we're truly going even get a sniff - let alone drop a cursory star - at Kylian Mbappe this summer after the news emerged that he will not activate his additional year clause and that PSG are [...]

League Cup should be a focus; there are others out there than Vlahovic

Morning all and welcome to Tuesday. Now, I feel like I've gone on a little bit about the League Cup situation and the postponement lately, so after today I am hoping that I don't bother to bring it up unless talking about the actual football context, but I do feel compelled to do a little [...]

Grealish deal is now the basepoint, which doesn’t help any club

It's hard to avoid the two major footballing bits of news that broke yesterday evening, even though they aren't Arsenal related. Let's start with the Messi stuff. Barcelona are clearly reaping what they sow with the news that they cannot re-sign Messi, even on reduced wages, because their own mismanagement has resulted in them needing [...]

Arsenal’s centre back crisis, even though we have a million of them!

Morning folks. Happy pre Premier League Thursday kick off to you. Getting excited yet? I think I am. It's always a bit weird knowing that with the world we're living in where we're seeing this rise in COVID cases and have just been told that sporting events could go behind closed doors again, yet in [...]

What are Auba’s options?

Another Monday in lockdown. But at least this is the last one before we've got football to moan about again. And we've got something else to moan about this morning because Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been speaking to French journos about his future and, let's be honest, it doesn't exactly bode well for a bright outcome [...]

Aubameyang to PSG has me going all amateur accountant

I feel a bit dirty this morning. Not physically dirty, but mentally dirty, because I went on the hunt for some Arsenal content this morning and started clicking on transfer-related links from the click baitey gutter press. It was pretty, it wasn't fun, I didn't enjoy it and so the foray into the murky world [...]

Drax Link’s back, whilst Lucas still knocks around

It's difficult to start with football this morning, given that more people have now lost their lives in a supposed religious related attack that quite frankly, should have no place in modern society. I don't think anybodies god will welcome them with open arms after they have murdered innocents. It seems a little callous to [...]

Catalan sympathy falls on death ears, as Emi goes mainland

Shh...do you hear that? Listen, very quietly.... .... Do you know what that is? That is the sound of sympathy for FC Barcelona's current plight on losing one of their star players at the peak of his powers.  That is the sound of, as Timberland on a Justin Timberlake song once said, "what goes around [...]

PSG? Sure! Shut up and take my Alexis.

It's funny how rumour and speculation can send some football fans mad with anger. Every summer there is a transfer rumour either in or out that clearly isn't on the cards, yet people go bonkers over it for a period of time, then a week later have forgotten all about it. That's kind of how [...]
