Here we go folks, strap yerselves in, because we're now on the countdown the North London Derby and that means any of the football media outlets you usually tune in to will be awash with COMBINED NORTH LONDON DERBY XI'S, ex-players talking about how this is 'make or break' for both teams, discussions around why [...]

Morning folks. How we all doing on this Monday morning? Still reeling from the weekend? At least the defeat by The Scum and humbling United took gives a little crumb of humour to proceedings. When you can't revel in your own glory, do it in the failings of others, eh? What that does do after [...]

Arsenal’s ability to transfer pivot has me ‘calma’ on Transfer Deadline Day

Been a bit sporadic on the compilation of Arsenal-related thoughts this week, on account of holiday in Portugal and also a little bit of time spent in Seville, as well as being pretty hungover almost every morning of waking up! But given it's Transfer Deadline Day today and there will also be a press conference from [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

VAR confirmed, the ‘red cartel’ nonsense is comical and gaslighting

By |2024-06-07T08:28:10+01:00June 7th, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, finances, gooners, Gunners, History|6 Comments

In the most obvious outcome possible from a gathering of the Premier League clubs to vote on certain motions, yesterday we found out that Arsenal and 18 other clubs voted to keep VAR yesterday, as Wolves lost their motion to have it scrapped, with no real surprises that everyone else wanted to keep it. I [...]

Feeling proud of The Arsenal today – whatever the result

Bleugh. Drank too much last night and here I sit on a Sunday morning with a mixture of sore head through too much red wine, as well as butterflies in my stomach through what will transpire later on this afternoon, for which I need not remind you. It all comes down to this. As Arsenal [...]

Is this the most difficult Premier League season?

Here we go folks. The Big Weekend is amongst us and tomorrow we face off against a historical big foe in Man United, knowing that only victory gives us a slim chance of winning the Premier League. And let's be honest here, it is a 'slim' chance. I'm not trying to be deliberately negative or [...]

Arteta giving calm vibes ahead of NLD is good news

The countdown commences and yesterday it was the opportunity for both managers to take to their respective press rooms to respond to questions from the press. As usual Arteta didn't really give up much on the team news and approach, but you wouldn't really ecpect him to because: He hasn't done that all season anyway. [...]
