Arsenal fans in ‘Justification Mode’ over Madueke – and that’s ok

Had a fair bit of work stuff and other bits going on yesterday, so didn't find the time to compose some thoughts in the wake of the rapidly evolving Madueke story, so shall we have a chat today about it? Firstly, I think it's difficult for me to row back from my original thoughts and [...]

Comparing Norgaard and Jorginho at Arsenal

It's Wednesday, it's the start of a bit of a heatwave here in the UK, it's sure to be an announcement day today with Christian Norgaard expected to be announced as the latest Arsenal acquisition. Why? Because as we all saw on the socials yesterday, somebody snapped him arriving and getting his video done as [...]

Norgaard will complete the upgrades – but what are we able to do on top of that?

I don't really understand why battle lines need to be drawn amongst the Arsenal fanbase online, I have to say, with regards to this Sesko/Gyokeres saga. I've seen people getting really quite pissy over the fact that Sesko will most probably not be 'the guy' and that he'll probably be plying his trade elsewhere either [...]

Zubi’s in, Gyok is next?

Well now, it's all kicking off in the Arsenal universe, eh? Yesterday we got the official confirmation of Martin Zubimendi's arrival from Real Sociedad, with the first pictures of him in next season's kit, then later in the day there was talk of the striker situation finally nearing a conclusion. Thankfully. Let's start with the [...]

Sad and depressing day to be an Arsenal fan

Sometimes I love writing this blog. And I always love Arsenal football club. I'm proud of the way in which we - for the most part - do things properly. There's a class about Arsenal that has always been something that we, as fans, are proud of. Trophies are important, the stuff that happens on the [...]

Jota devastation – hug your loved ones harder

By |2025-07-04T07:49:27+01:00July 4th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, History, pre season, Transfers|2 Comments

Before I kick off any Arsenal-related musings today, I thought I'd take a moment to acknowledge and express my sadness at the Diogo Jota news yesterday. Very sad and sobering. At 28-year's old to lose your life is a tragedy in any walk of life. This was a man recently married, with a wife and [...]

Kepa The Keeper is a Gooner

Now I'm not going to claim a victory after yesterday insisting that 'ACTION' needed to happen from yesterday, but less than 12 hours after I'd written my thinkings yesterday on the need for new signings, a shiny new footballer rocked up at The Emirates. Maybe I need to use this power again soon? Of course [...]

July means action MUST happen now for The Arsenal

I know, I know, kind of an obvious headline for today's return to blogging from me, as I get back into the swing of it from Portugal. I boldly made the assumption based on previous years that when I come back from Portugal there'd be a shiny new signing confirmed, but sadly my good luck [...]

Norgaard makes sense on every level for Arsenal

Greetings from Porto! This week I’ve been road tripping through Portugal and today we’re off to the Douro valley for loads of wine and hopefully sunshine, but I wanted to check in because as we all know, yesterday it appears that there were market movements for Brentford’s captain Christian Norgaard. I wrote it on social [...]

Arsenal get most difficult possible start – how important is momentum?

Morning folks and welcome to Thursday. It's another glorious day in London today, so I'm bringing my work stuff into the garden and do a proper old school "shall we take our workbooks outside, kids" situation for my working day. Screw it, life is too short. I wonder if that's how Mudryk is feeling today. [...]
