So, we have ourselves another Italian, as Riccardo Calafiori was officially announced by the club as our second major first team means signing of the summer, arriving from Bologna. It’s a good deal, it seems a fair price, Arteta has his man and we have ourselves another left back to add to our stockpile. We’ve [...]

Plenty of positives from Arsenal’s pre season performance

That's the second pre season game of the season done in the early hours of the morning my time and it was a 2-1 win for our lads against Erik "I AM FURIOUS ABOUT ARSENAL AND OFFSIDES" Ten Haag's Man United. You love to see it. He was apparently unhappy about our equaliser, which game [...]

Arteta all but confirms ESR’s exit, but does it lead to some amortisation goodness?

Happy Friday folks. For me it's a Friday in which I am slightly worse for wear, on account of going to Wembley Stadium to see The Boss (not Mikel) bust out his tunes, so naturally I had a few beers whilst listening to Bruce Springsteen. I gotta tell you, felt a little weird being in [...]

Howdy folks, hope we're all in fine fettle this Tuesday morning? The Arsenal 'squad' are in the US now and Arteta was interviewed ahead of the Bournemouth game tomorrow, as we prepare to take on Bournemouth in the early hours of the morning on Thursday UK time, which is the first time we've heard the [...]

It feels like the Arsenal wheels are turning – the excitement starts to build here

So the wheels seem to be in motion. Well, they've been in motion for a while on the players who are on the verge of exits - Sambi and Nuno - but this will be another sale by the club and I guess ultimately it all adds up. Sambi is off on a loan which [...]

The ‘no mans land’ part of the football calendar

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.

The importance of pre-season prep work for The Arsenal

Morning folks, we all good? Well, as good as we can be given there's no football on at the moment and The Arsenal are still a solid six week's away until the proper stuff starts to kick in. I thought about going along to one of the friendlies we've got penned in for the beginning [...]

Merino’s added an extra few mil to his price tag

I watched both the quarter finals yesterday and with my feet firmly planted in the "I have German family" camp, I decided to get behind Der Mannschaft and cheer them on against Spain. My English blood has cursed my German family. They played decent enough, but as my cousin Dave said (he also taps in to [...]

Arsenal can’t rest on their laurels, Arteta won’t let them

Morning folks. Happy Friday n all that jazz. We may not have had any Euro's football yesterday, but at least Arsenal kept us sated with #content, announcing the most obvious signing since Kylian Mbappe randomly rocked up at Real Madrid and everyone in the football world sarcastically went "Woah!! Didn't see that one coming!" We [...]

Southgate’s tactical approach makes me happy we’ve got Arteta

Much like last Thursday and Friday last week, it's all gone deathly quiet and, with there being no Euro's like last Thursday and Friday as well as no real Arsenal news to speak of, it's becoming quite slim pickings indeed out there in the football universe. Last week I wasn't fussed because it was a [...]
