Morning Gooners, how we all doing today? How we feeling? Counting down the seconds until the first home game of the season? I know I am. Blistering heat, a home match where the atmosphere will be amazing, it'll be one heck of a day - I hope - spoiled only by a Jamie Vardy dive [...]
Happy Monday Gooners, how we all feeling? I'm feeling good. Match week one has now officially been completed, all teams have played and yesterday we were treated to defeats to both United and West Ham. I don't really bother looking too much at City and Liverpool at this stage, otherwise I'd be happy about Liverpool's [...]
This time last year - nearly enough (matchday one of the Premier League I mean, as the season has started early this year), I was the best man having organised a stag trip to Edinburgh. I had the Brentford game on my smartphone and I watched as an under-prepared, poorly resourced, Arsenal team stuttered and [...]
Here we go then folks! Strap yourself in because pre season is officially done and dusted and tonight, for the second season in a row, we are first up on the Friday night football billing as we travel to Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. In the game last season it was shuffled to a Monday [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
So it appears as though Nuno Tavares is on the verge of a temporary exit from the Arsenal to Marseille this summer, if the pretty credible reports are to be believed. This is an interesting one I have to say. I know Tavares had his errors last season, I know that we all pretty much [...]
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 [...]
