I've been listening to a song recently by Becky Hill called "I could get used to this". Three North London Derby away wins in three seasons for The Arsenal. I definitely could get used to this. I said pre game yesterday and in the days leading up to this that I hate this game in [...]

What Arsenal, and what Tottenham, show up for today’s NLD?

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I bloody hate this fixture. Yesterday I spoke about the positives from Mikel Arteta's press conference , but today all of that hope and positivity is washed away, replaced by nerves and more nerves. This fixture has - again, as I mentioned yesterday - been kind to [...]

Another day, another shocking set of refereeing decisions – Arsenal v Brighton

No matter how much I might try to today, there is absolutely no way of looking at that game yesterday any other way than through the lens of that 49th minute ‘incident’ featuring Veltman and Rice. As you will already know, on a yellow, Rice and Veltman came together by the corner flag and a [...]

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 [...]

Looking at Leverkusen; but is anyone looking at Nketiah?

It's Bayker Leverkusen tonight for The Arsenal in a game that feels like the first 'proper' friendly match this summer, if that makes sense? What I mean by that is that Arsenal are back on home soil, it's close enough to the new season that the team should be getting back to fitness, we have [...]

Arsenal see off pre season tour with defeat; Arteta seems fine with it

So the last game in the US ended with a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool and I have to say when I saw Liverpool's first goal, I had to do a bit of a double take, because the commentator said 'Salah' but there was no trademark big curly hair racing through. Is this the latest 'marginal [...]

Calafiori’s arrival shows how Arteta is constantly evolving

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 [...]

Calafiori might spell Kiwior’s exit, but Arsenal don’t have to be forced into being lowballed…

The sloth edges ever closer to his tree, the perfect spot for his resting place... That's what it feels like with this Calafiori deal, eh? Last night another couple of journalists dropping the "here we go!" soundbites, in an eagerness to be the 'first past the post' in declaring a transfer confirmed. At this stage [...]

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 [...]

Tomiyasu latest setback a cautionary tale re: Calafiori?

Morning folks. Hope you're all good. Poor ol' Tomi, eh? Takehiro is not on tour with the rest of the squad over the next week and a bit because of a knee problem that some of the Arsenal journo's on the beat are saying relates to his knee. It means that he'll have two-to-three weeks [...]
