Happy match day Gooners, hope we're all holding up well? It's the return to an unhappy hunting ground in recent years, as we take on Sean Dyche's Everton and for a team who hasn't exactly been one of the leading lights in the Premier League for many years, they have a surprisingly (and annoyingly) good [...]
Arsenal need to solve the ‘bad seller’ look
Morning all, hope we're all ok on this Thursday in August? It was good getting the business done earlier, eh? I remember too many times getting to the last week of the window thinking "nope, we're still too short, they HACE to do something soon". Of course quite often it would be leaving it until [...]
Theo’s boots are hung, Balogun’s are on the move?
Greetings from a very warm Germany, Berlin, to be precise. the Management and I are doing a cheeky weekend in Deutschland so I can brush up on me German and take in some of the sights of a City that we’ve never been to before. It’s what you get when you are able to be [...]
Do Arsenal have enough cover in defence – and the whole team – now?
Happy Friday Gooners. It's one of those weird Friday's where we have ourselves some words from the manager, but we don't actually play this weekend, instead having to wait until Monday night before our match week two begins. In some ways for me personally that's a good thing. I'm flying off to Berlin tonight for [...]
Can you make a case for Fabio Vieira this season?
Morning folks, how are we all doing on this Friday morn? Rubbish night sleep means that I thought I'd drag my sorry arse out of bed early to take advantage of the day, which also means getting my daily Arsenal content fix a little earlier than usual and after the fixture yesterday was in the [...]
No more “one or two players short” Arsenal
Still nothing on the ol' signings front, but given we're at 13th July and today is our first pre season friendly game (proper one, the one at London Colney with Watford doesn't really count) I'm not going to get bent out of shape. The reality is we're just awaiting the formalities and then all will [...]
Why Arsenal’s pre season games might actually matter
It's all got a little slow now in terms of goings on at The Arsenal, eh? I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, of course, but speaking as somebody who wakes up in the morning and thinks "I wonder what stuff has been happening, or will happen in the next 24 hours, should occupy my thoughts [...]
Smith Rowe must seize this summers opportunity
Morning peeps, hope we’re all good, feeling dandy and looking forward to an enjoyable Sunday? Emile Smith Rowe will be a happy chap oh waking up this morning, won’t he? He and his England under-21 teammates won the under-21 Euros last night and in it he secured himself a lovely ol’ bit of silverware that [...]
There is no more transfer ‘mystique’ any more
Happy Monday folks. Well, as happy as it can be after you've just had a wonderful week off in the sun boozing, eating nice food and generally sleeping in late. This 'returning back to work and having to get up early to tap at your computer' thing is, ideally, not something I'd like to do. [...]
Do Arsenal have it in them to ‘swoop’ for players?
Well, here I am coming to you from a very sunny Portugal folks, which can only mean one thing: Arsenal transfer signings are going to start happening. Don't ask me how, don't ask me why, it just is a 'thing', going back to when we signed Per Mertesacker and Mikel Arteta in 2011. This is [...]
