There is of course World Cup news we could talk through today, but why on earth would we do that when there is just a few glorious crumbs of Arsenal news we can focus on first, eh? I feel a sense of elation, like a man searching for an oasis in the desert, that comes to a [...]
Now that we're getting in to 'Part one of the Prem definitely over' territory, I've started to think about this period between now and Christmas as a bit of an off-season/pre season for The Arsenal; there are players heading off for some holidays, there are some players going to a World Cup, Arteta and his [...]
As Monday's go from an Arsenal fans perspective, we've had worse, haven't we? Five points clear at the top, a high performing team who have delivered us a concrete lead that will go in to the festive period, players who have stepped up from last season and new signings (as well as 'Like a New Signing' [...]
Ahead of the big kick off tomorrow evening, I've been asked by a few people on social media and in WhatsApp groups, about what my expectations are for this season ahead. And do you know what? I don't really have an answer to it if I'm completely honest. I'm going to try to fashion some [...]
No pleasantries this morning, straight in to the 'WTF' moment and as you and I were at home patiently scrolling through our social media feeds, news broke of the utterly horrendous deal Arsenal had done for Bernd Leno. £3million up front is a borderline insult for such a 'keeper, with £1million if he plays a [...]
Morning campers, we all doing good? We all feeling fine and dandy? I have taken to wearing a different Arsenal shirt each day now in prep for the new season. Hoping the pink and black ones arrive this week so I can perpetuate the plan right up until the big kick off on Friday. It's [...]
Morning morning, fellow gooners! How we all doing? Feeling chipper after that absolute mauling yesterday? I know I am. On top of the world, in fact, because if you’re going to lay down a blueprint for how a pre season should draw to a close, I’m not sure many of us would disagree that giving [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to Saturday matchday. Well, it kind of is, of sorts, as The Arsenal play at home to Sevilla in our final friendly before the new season starts in six days and it'll be our final look at the team that will lock horns with the Eagles for the Friday Night Football [...]
Yesterday Arsenal lost a pre season, behind-closed-doors, game at London Colney to Brentford. We went down 2-1 to goals from footballers I've never heard of, with Nketiah getting our goal in between the two Brentford goals. Now, if we're going to caveat all of our victories this summer as 'it's only pre season', then this [...]
Morning all. We all good? Middle of the week for those of us who are Monday to Fridayers and it's a countdown to the final game of the pre season before the real stuff starts. It's Sevilla at home in the Emirates Cup and unlike previous renditions of the competition, it won't be a footballing [...]
