It wasn't until Arteta's post-match comments after the Fulham win that I realised that this Saturday lunchtime we could be travelling to Fulham with an entire defensive back line missing depending on what he says in his presser today. Calafiori, Gabriel, White and Tomiyasu all out. Timber came off and if he's missing you can [...]
Last night’s 2-1 victory over a pretty average Fulham side (despite the fact they were in eighth before kick off) had a bit of a low-key affair to it, if I’m completely honest with you. Despite the fact Saka was named in the squad, despite the fact he came on to rapturous applause and even [...]
Arteta's words yesterday that Bukayo Saka is "ready to go" were like a perfectly harmonious symphony orchestra delivering their first sweet notes to your years of a summer concert. We've missed the Starboy, we've cried out for his ability to change games, we've longed to see him cut inside and deliver end product for us for [...]
Arsenal confirmed yesterday what we all already knew; Andrea Berta joining us as Sporting Director having left his post at Atletico Madrid at the end of 2024. As you'd expect, the official announcement doesn't really give much intel or information on his thoughts and philosophies, but you'd expect that given that it's essentially just a [...]
Apparently we're due to be announcing Andrea Berta soon as our next Sporting Director and, I'll be honest, I don't really know much about him other than where he's been in recent years (Atletico Madrid and then before that Genoa), so I decided to have a look at our new 'main man in a suit' [...]
Is there anything more wholesome to see than a Bukayo Saka smiling back at you from the club cameraman's picture at London Colney, to confirm that he's back in full training? And I have to say, you have to marvel at the club's medical team for their accuracy on this return. Now, of course, he [...]
Don't think there's any other place to start today than to congratulate the Arsenal Women for overturning a 2-0 away first leg defeat to Real Madrid, to win 3-0 with those second half goals to send the Emirates wild last night on full time. Fair do's to the ladies, because in a similar vein to [...]
I see that the Scousers are all getting a bit heated of Trent leaving for Real in the summer. As Arsenal fans, we of all people know the pains of contracts being run down - or the perception of it - so rather than banter them off I'm offering a little sympathy this morning I [...]
I watched about 10 minutes of the England game last night, just before Declan Rice made the assist for some unknown footballer who I willst not name, mainly to get five to ten minutes of seeing Myles Lewis-Skelly at this level. From a confidence perspective clearly he doesn't lack that and you could absolutely tell [...]
Back from a week off in the Maldives and having fortunately picked a week in which it's been internationals going on, from an Arsenal perspective it's been good because there's not really massive amounts to talk about. Well, nothing that you have probably not already read just about everything on. Then I check in on [...]
