Happy FA Cup third round Saturday folks. It's a shame really, because the third round weekend used to be one of the more fun weekends. You used to get yourself a home or away tie against another team you usually don't play against, there would be tonnes of football on all the time (well, compared [...]
With Arsenal having essentially a week to, as Declan Rice put it, 'reset' ahead of their next game, I am wondering what the mood will be like after back-to-back defeats. Will the players feel as down as we all were after those results? How well can they compartmentalise them and give a reaction? How exactly [...]
Morning all and welcome to Friday. We're just over 24 hours until we take to the field against Burnley and we'll hear from Mikel at some stage today about the team news for this one and I'm sure he'll be asked about the fitness of a certain Thomas Partey, with whom the noises are now [...]
Deadline day came and deadline day went and what came out of it from an Arsenal perspective was a series of exits and no incomings. There are a few people who are questioning whether that was wise because after we started off the summer with a bloated squad, the view from some quarters of the [...]
Morning all, hope we're all ok on this Thursday in August? It was good getting the business done earlier, eh? I remember too many times getting to the last week of the window thinking "nope, we're still too short, they HACE to do something soon". Of course quite often it would be leaving it until [...]
They finally unveiled the Arsene Wenger statue yesterday. It's a three-and-a-half metre tall bronzed statue with Arsene lifting the Premier League trophy and, I have to say, enough time has passed for me to be appreciating and thanking the man who brought so much joy to our lives. Three Premier League titles and countless FA [...]
Still nothing on the ol' signings front, but given we're at 13th July and today is our first pre season friendly game (proper one, the one at London Colney with Watford doesn't really count) I'm not going to get bent out of shape. The reality is we're just awaiting the formalities and then all will [...]
Howdy folks, we all good? Well, we know what our start looks like in the Premier League and, I'll have to admit, it could have been worse. That's because it could have been like the first season under Arteta where we had three quite tricky games back-to-back and that put us on the back foot [...]
When it comes to selling players, there's one thing everyone loves: A BIDDING WAR! So waking up this morning to noises that Bayern - and maybe even Dortmund - have sat up and taken a bit of notice of the fact that Granit Xhaka is available, is music to mine ears, that's for sure. I'm [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Friday. It's the first footballess Friday of the summer and I'm still in that weird zone whereby the old season is sill fresh in my mind, so I'm still in a "kind of ready for the summer and a bit of a rest from the stress of watching" vibe. It [...]
