Is Gabriel on the Arteta boat or not?

Morning all and welcome to Saturday. It’s the last Saturday before all the football starts up again next weekend and that to me is bloody weird. I’m used to a summer in which you go through the stages of sadness that football isn’t on and end up utterly bereft before eventually it comes back and [...]

Arsenal’s fixtures are out and we need to be bullies next season

So....we have a shiny new away kit that has been launched yesterday courtesy of a rather swanky new video that Adidas launched across all of the socials yesterday. The video was ace, I have to say, drawing on the history of the club, great players and achievements and even a very racey Dave 'Safe Hands' [...]

Gabriel and Auba; it ain’t over until it’s over

Yo peeps. Nearly there. Slowly trotting towards the weekend and with it, by all accounts, a deal for a young Brazilian appears to be drawing to a close for £22million as Gabriel Magalhaes is on the verge of joining us apparently. I've seen it a few times on Twitter and a couple of people I [...]

Flexible formations for Arsenal ahead of ‘set systems’

Morning folks and welcome to another midweek of this weird pre-season we find ourselves in. What's weird about it is that even though the FA Cup is still relatively fresh in the minds of most of us (despite Arsenal's attempts to pour cold water on it through signings, redundancies, sackings at the top, etc), we [...]

Arsenal’s defenisve stockpiling means we need other teams to move first

It's all feeling a bit quiet this morning. Well, I say quiet, but that is in the context of The Arsenal and what's happened in the last year or so. If it's not quick-fire football matches, or managers being given the boot, or changes in back room exec level, or contracts, or signings, or COVID-19, [...]

Howdy folks and guten morgen from the passenger side of a car The Management is driving to take us home from a weekend of boozing in Richmond in which we’ve seen a Willian signing, a Raul exiting, then yesterday it was the “the king is dead, long live the king” interview with Vinai Ventakatesham, who [...]

Raul’s exit can mean a new, positive, era at Arsenal

Wellety, wellety, wellety. Yesterday I woke up a little hungover round a friends house, grabbed myself some bacon and eggs, then started planning the rest of the day for a bit of a bar crawl and some Po’ Boys in Kingston at the end. What I didn’t expect was to be glued to my phone [...]

Welcome Will.I.An, with your versatility also welcome

Well now that’s it’s official we can all start working out what next! Yep, Will.I.An is a gunner and that means he’ll be serenading the team with his dulcet tones and silky touch on the fields of London Colney as soon as they’re all back from holiday. We didn’t quite get the fairytale Aubameyang signing [...]

Kia Joorabchian has shown just how embedded at Arsenal he is – and it’s worrying

Morning folks. I'm not going to bother to delve into some of the latest Willian stuff about his wages and the total package, as well as the fact it hasn't happened and is expected to happen over the weekend, because frankly I'm already bored of it all. So when he arrives I'll be pleased, glad [...]

Arsenal’s “creative accounting” on Diawara/Torreira swap

By |2020-08-13T08:19:12+01:00August 13th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, finances, gooners, Gunners, midfield, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

Another day brings with it another set of spurious rumours that Arsenal are linked with, along with a clutch of players that everyone seems to know everything about, which I'll get to in a second. But first, at least we know one fact from yesterday, which is the details of the Community Shield, which takes [...]
