If Arsenal needed to bet it's house on something, you'd probably bet the exact opposite of whatever they do, right? "All on red for us" "Erm....yeah, i'll take black please..." I am, of course, referring to the news that Sami Mokbel broke yesterday about Kai Havertz, who is rumoured to have suffered a hamstring injury [...]

It's Friday, we've barely had time to breathe post the NLD, yet Mikel Arteta goes in front of the press at some stage today (at the time of me penning this) to talk about tomorrow evening's game against Villa - yet another 'must win'. Obviously looking ahead to that game is going to be the [...]

I was driving back from the parents' place yesterday morning, before getting on with a day of work, so didn't have time to pen some post thoughts two days after the 0-0 against Everton. What I would have said yesterday, however, was that I was still grumpy about that game. It's games like that when [...]

Ahh man, there really is bugger all on today from a football perspective, that's for sure, with the Euro's final not on until Sunday, The Arsenal not on for a few weeks on from that, plus the only real transfer news going on is stuff we've already been privy too, like Lokonga, Calafiore and Tavares.

Morning peeps. Happy Saturday to you and yours. Hope you guys are all good. It's going to be a scorcher this weekend and so after today's brain dump I'll be heading out to the garden to fire up the paddling pool I reckon! Come 2pm there will be a beached whale of a Suburban Gooner [...]

Welcome to Wednesday people. How we all getting on? In the UK we've got the August bank holiday looming on the horizon this weekend and that is something to be very happy about, but so is the end of the transfer window, if I'm completely honest, because that'll happen next week and we'll know exactly [...]

A bit like The Arsenal, I took a day off yesterday from writing the blog, mainly because I was hanging and a little tired after a weekend of excess celebrating The Management's birthday.
