What a weird ol' transfer deadline day that was yesterday, eh? I am with a couple of friends and The Management in Portugal for our last day today and yesterday my mate Paul - who isn't in to football at all, was asking me about Transfer Deadline Day and why clubs leave it to the [...]
Been a bit sporadic on the compilation of Arsenal-related thoughts this week, on account of holiday in Portugal and also a little bit of time spent in Seville, as well as being pretty hungover almost every morning of waking up! But given it's Transfer Deadline Day today and there will also be a press conference from [...]
That felt like a BIG win yesterday, I have to tell you guys, because at 60-odd minutes I was pacing up and down of the house I'm staying in, in the Algarve, wondering how we were going to get anything from a game that I thought Villa were starting to get a little more control [...]
Happy match day folks - how we all feeling? There's obviously some transfer stuff going on with Fabio Vieira back to Porto on loan, as well as Mikel Merino spotted on his way to London, but on match day there really is only ever one focus and that's how we're going to come back from [...]
Happy Friday folks - hope you're all good. I don't know why I still get triggered by lazy journalism, but I do, falling victim to shoddy 'takes from so-called professionals not once, but twice in the last 12 hours. First it was Charlie Wyatt on Sky Sports last night, who described Mikel Merino as a [...]
You gotta hand it to ol' Fabrizio, he finds new ways to report the same stuff, eh? Yesterday evening it was that Eddie has agreed personal terms with Forest and whilst we've known this might be in the pipeline for a few days (the old 'cleared out his box at The Emirates' picture doing the [...]
As we start to tick ever closer towards our tough start to the season (Wolves notwithstanding), looking ahead at our next few games has occupied my thoughts quite a bit more than it usually does, I have to admit. When the fixtures first came out there was a bit of dialogue about how hard we [...]
So it sounds as though we find ourselves in a position where the wheels are finally starting to turn with a couple of outgoings, as Ornstein laid on not one, but two, Ornbombs on us yesterday. The first was the noises that Eddie Nketiah is the subject of interest from Nottingham Forest and apparently they've [...]
Happy Monday folks. We all good? I had a lovely weekend after the football and yesterday spent the day in the sun with the family watching bits and pieces of the Brentford/Palace game, then the Chelsea/City game. No Ivan Toney for Brentford and Thomas Frank afterwards suggested it was because his head wasn't right because [...]
Now that was your archetypal first game of the season win at home yesterday, right? The excitement was there, the expectation was there, it was a beautifully sunny day in North London and The Arsenal were back. I made my way to the Highbury area with some hope and expectation of good times, but football [...]
