So...Vini Junior, eh? Did you see that coming? I certainly didn't, but Messrs Ornstein and McNicholas dropped an Athletic Bomba on our social media feeds, and yesterday was spent with Arsenal fans recalibrating their 'dream starting XI' for next season, with the Brazilian superstar firmly placed in it on that left wing. It's exciting, isn't [...]
It's Saturday The Arsenal have still not kicked off matches yet, so my hope is that they are using the time effectively to "Spend some faaaakin' money!". A bit of a blast-from-the-past phrase to bust out, I know, but you'd hope Andrea Berta is somewhere doing something to augment the squad soon. Tzolis was a [...]
So we have our first adrenaline shot of transfer morphine, as Christos Tzolis signs for The Arsenal to replace the departing 'Mr Clutch' Leo Trossard. It's a good move. It's a sensible move. Only time will tell if it's an upgrade, but at £34million - and it still feels crazy to say this - it's [...]
If you're an Arsenal fan who engages on social media, then you'll be well aware of the good work that HandOfArsenal does in keeping us all informed of the latest developments at The Arsenal. They either currently work at the club, or they are somebody who knows a few people at the club, and the [...]
Mikel Merino man. He's a bloody international cheat code. I remember him scoring a headed goal at Euro 2024 against the Germans in the July of that summer. He would go on to sign for us about six weeks later, but by then we sort of half-knew that he was of interest to the club. [...]
So...we have our first signing through the door for this summer. Well, 'NEW'new signing, as Hincapie was done and just needed paperwork and an official confirmation. But yes, it's Illan Meslier who becomes Arsenal's first new face through the doors at London Colney, and he said some nice things on the official site. Plenty of [...]
I didn’t watch the France v Paraguay game last night, but I’ve seen some of the shenanigans of the Paraguayans and, as a result, I’m kinda glad I didn’t. Some real arses in that team, particularly their number 23, who was snidey all game by the looks of it. I’ve got no love for France, [...]
I watched the tail-end of the pumping that Spain gave Austria last night, as I was coming back from a networking event in the City, and I have to say, Spain looks like they are purring now. It's a shame their two fullbacks are absolute dickheads, but I guess there's not a lot you can [...]
It's a new week, and another set of World Cup games to be peppered with, and the first of the knockout matches has already been decided. I didn't watch Canada beat South Africa last night, mainly because I wasn't sure what time it was on. I've gotten so used to the games being on at [...]
Most of the time, when I write my daily ramblings, I jot down a stream of conscious thought and then rack my brains as to what the title should be. But there are rare occasions where I start with the title and let it flow from there. Why am I telling you this? Well, obviously, [...]
