Arsenal confirmed yesterday what we all already knew; Andrea Berta joining us as Sporting Director having left his post at Atletico Madrid at the end of 2024. As you'd expect, the official announcement doesn't really give much intel or information on his thoughts and philosophies, but you'd expect that given that it's essentially just a [...]
Apparently we're due to be announcing Andrea Berta soon as our next Sporting Director and, I'll be honest, I don't really know much about him other than where he's been in recent years (Atletico Madrid and then before that Genoa), so I decided to have a look at our new 'main man in a suit' [...]
Is there anything more wholesome to see than a Bukayo Saka smiling back at you from the club cameraman's picture at London Colney, to confirm that he's back in full training? And I have to say, you have to marvel at the club's medical team for their accuracy on this return. Now, of course, he [...]
I watched about 10 minutes of the England game last night, just before Declan Rice made the assist for some unknown footballer who I willst not name, mainly to get five to ten minutes of seeing Myles Lewis-Skelly at this level. From a confidence perspective clearly he doesn't lack that and you could absolutely tell [...]
Back from a week off in the Maldives and having fortunately picked a week in which it's been internationals going on, from an Arsenal perspective it's been good because there's not really massive amounts to talk about. Well, nothing that you have probably not already read just about everything on. Then I check in on [...]
I didn't really touch too much on comments in the wake of the United game about Bukayo Saka, made by Arteta, when asked about him. But I suspect just to re-iterate the situation he'll definitely be asked about the forward today in his press conference. Mikel's comments on Sunday were that his progress was good [...]
I have to say, based on what I thought we’d have yesterday evening against a PSV side that must have know the jig is up after the final whistle went on the first leg last week, I didn’t picture that there’d be much in offer on a relatively chilly night in North London yesterday evening. [...]
Liverpool have been rolling the dice and getting so many sixes this season, that when I went to bed at 10pm with it into extra time, I just expected to find out this morning that they'd won 5-0 on penalties. But they're out, the media fawning over them winning the quadruple that we were witnessing [...]
Under normal circumstances a midweek Champions League knockout game the next evening would bring about levels of anticipation and worry, but with the team doing the epitome of 'the job' on PSV last week, tomorrow should really be a procession against a Dutch side who were more open than an OnlyFans veteran's legs. So what [...]
At this point I'm not really sure what value the analysis will be from a game like yesterday's turgid 1-1 draw against a terrible Man United side. But I'll give it a go. Until I can't be arsed to type anything more. Let's see how it goes. Firstly that United side who, surprisingly to me [...]
