Arteta is testing a few things – post Monaco thoughts

We won the Emirates Cup! Arteta has done it again! Of course I'm being a bit flippant and, unlike Richarlison, you could see when Martin Odegaard lifted the trophy last night by the way he looked so sheepish that this is hardly the 'big prize' that we were after, but I suppose a win is [...]

Well it seems - if ol' Romano is to be believed, that the Raya deal edges closer. I will still maintain that I'm not sure it is the move for us; he's a good 'keeper but no better than Ramsdale in my opinion, Brentford want too much money for a guy with one year left [...]

Raya Arsenal links are puzzling

Morning Gooners, we all good? I drank far too much wine yesterday to be able to rouse myself from bed and so yesterday became a bit of a blogging write off. But today is a new week and I'm ready and raring to go, starting off with the Ornstein news that broke yesterday afternoon that [...]

Impressive and intense Arsenal show the strength of the squad against Barca

This is probably the weirdest post match blog I've ever written. Weird in the fact that at the time of writing, the friendly game in LA against Barcelona only finished about an hour ago and because I was in bed for the actual game (It's a school night for me, kids), it feels a little [...]

Does Zinchenko’s absence force tactical changes for Forest at home in three weeks?

Morning Gooners, how we all doing? Been away from the blog for the last two days on account of a case of food poisoning that I got from a restaurant in London Waterloo on Saturday night. Wiped me out for two days but ready and rocking after what it feels like some mammoth sleeps and [...]

How well will Arsenal use the loan market this summer?

Hey kids, how we all doing then, eh? Getting impatient about the lack of Timber and Rice announcements? Yeah, I am kinda too, but there's so much leaking out at the moment that the club are sure to do something today I reckon. We had Jurrien Timber's brother posting a picture of the player in [...]

Saliba signs and there’s some chatter about the deal length

We're just getting Ornbomb after Ornbomb at the moment, aren't we? And yesterday's latest explosion was the confirmation of the William Saliba deal, which has been signed, sealed and delivered and I suspect the club are just choosing the right moment to make the announcement, having confirmed Nelson signed a new deal yesterday too. Give [...]

Saka smashes, as Arsenal go foraging for some Timber

I didn't watch the England game last night because a) I was recording the Same Old Arsenal pod with the peeps, but also b) international football is cr*p. However, I did see that once again Bukayo Saka stole the show bagging himself a hattrick, man-of-the-match performance and demonstrating that we really do have a starboy [...]

A horrible kit and a change of tactical versatility for The Arsenal?

Happy Saturday gooners, hope all is well in your respective worlds? As you'd expect it's a quiet one in the Arsenal universe, with the English footballing eyes all on United versus City today. Personally I'm not sure I'll bother watching; it's a cup final between two teams that I don't like very much, so why [...]

Saliba situation: A journo decided to ‘get in there early’ this summer

'Tis the season to be...... ....Worried about every single transfer rumour that gets banded about, apparently, and I am by no means an exception it seems. For yesterday in the morning - after I'd written my daily musings on here first thing, a story emerged about how Arsenal could be resigned to losing Saliba this [...]
