Happy Tuesday fellow Arsenal-supporting mad people. Hope you and yours are all doing great? Are you feeling bullish about the season ahead? I know I am! And part of that is when I watch/read/listen to stuff from the likes of Edu like we've seen over the last 24 hours, where both Sky Sports, but then [...]
If you have read my ramblings for long enough you'll know me well enough by now to know that I try my hardest to not really focus on other teams in my daily musings. They are of little interest to me and besides, nobody really wants to come to an Arsenal blog and talk about [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Thursday. I tested positive for COVID yesterday which is bloody annoying, because I was supposed to be at a work away day today in which I presented to the whole company, but that's now been thrown out of the window and as a result it's a day of tapping away [...]
I'm going to stray in to territory where I'm not exactly 100% comfortable or an expert in today. This is my disclaimer to let you know that what I'm now about to say is based on my opinion and so is both open to interpretation, bias, as well as potential factual inaccuracy, although if so [...]
Yesterday we finally heard from Aubameyang after his move to Barcelona was signed, sealed and delivered to the people of Catalonia, with the striker opening up about his exit.

And so the saga ends. Relatively quicker than the Özil one that dragged out for two or three seasons, the Aubameyang saga was concluded within two months, as the club confirmed it had terminated the contract with the player by ‘mutual consent’. Whatever that means. And I say that because there are a myriad of [...]
Here we are then. Transfer Deadline Day. One of the most hyperbolic days in the footballing calendar and a day that TV companies like Sky utterly adore because it puts eyeballs on their products and clicks in their advertising reports. For the rest of us junkies it is a hit of morphine at a time [...]
Arsenal look like they’re playing the most Harry Redknapp “well, I’m daan to th’ bare bones ‘ere lads” approach to squad composition I think I’ve ever seen in my life! Yep, yesterday another one bit the Arsenal dust, as Calum Chambers signed for Aston Villa almost completely out of the blue. It took pretty much [...]
Yesterday I wrote about the Newcastle takeover as it was about to happen and then later on in the day we saw the confirmation that one of the richest 'consortiums' in the world had bought Newcastle. So here we go again. Another sports washing exercise (it entirely IS that despite what Amanda Staveley said in [...]
