Here we go, people! It's matchday! The Champions - that's us, by the way - kick off the Premier League season tonight with a home game against newly promoted Coventry City, and whilst I am looking forward to it, I'm also gutted that I booked a holiday to Portugal, where my plane leaves at 4pm [...]

Ahead of the Premier League kicking off for us on Friday, yesterday was clearly media day at London Colney, because we've had Men in Blazers doing an interview with Arteta, Sky Sports sat down with him, plus Dan Roan from the BBC also talked to Richard Garlick. All of the interviews are worth a watch; [...]

The big Vik question: Style vs substance in Arsenal’s attack

Happy Monday Gooners, and welcome to a new week, in which we are all hoping for some Bruno G news no doubt. But I sawe something yesterday suggesting that there was another Brazilian (not that one!) that we were interested in Joao Pedro from Chelsea. Makes sense; Arsenal have an unhealthy obsession with getting that [...]

It's the weekend, so we all need a little excitement for it, right? Yes, there's a game on today as Arsenal take on Girona, but you and I both know that isn't the first thing that popped into your mind - was it? Step forward our guy HandOfArsenal: 🚨 EXCL : Arsenal Football Club have [...]

The biggest winner of Arsenal’s pre-season could be Ethan Nwaneri

Do you know what's nicee? Seeing pictures of players in pre-season training. And important players too. Until you see them, you have a question mark over whether they are still on holiday, what their fitness is like, etc. But yesterday Arsenal released some training pics, and there was Big Gabi, huge grinning teeth, as the [...]

No transfer news – so let’s talk about the season we waited 22 years for

By |2026-07-29T11:27:09+01:00July 29th, 2026|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta, premier league|1 Comment

Morning all. So, here we are again. Nothing. There's no Bruno Guimaraes news – no bid, no "talks progressing", not even a lazily-sourced "Arsenal are monitoring the situation" to chew on over a coffee. And then yesterday Sky went and confirmed the thing a few of us had already quietly braced ourselves for: Vinicius Junior [...]

Arsenal fans need a transfer adrenaline hit – but not any old one…

Yeah, I'd like us to have some news about a signing at The Arsenal, but it could be worse, right? We could be trying a pre covid 'get the band back together' veterans tour like Chelsea are doing, eh? All jokes aside, whilst I have no problem with them bringing in elder statesmen like Henderson, [...]

Now that we know that Big Bill Saliba is out for an 'extended period', Arsenal's need for a little more expediency in the transfer market has become even more acute. We all already knew, in reality, because we've been hearing the stories from the French press. But as an Arsenal fan, you still await to [...]

Morgan Rogers – the cost is important, but so is where he plays

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 [...]
