Two major talking points from yesterday included the unveiling of the new kit, as well as the noise about Cech hotting up even further, with his coach Christophe Lollichon (what a name that is, eh?) saying that Petr loves Arsenal's philosophy and he is settled in London. Let's start with the new kit though, which [...]

Jack to make his own position at Arsenal?

It's the first of a two day week for me, before I disappear off into the distant and sunny shores of Portugal for ten days, so you'd hope that Arsenal could grant me a bit of news, right? Wrong. The only real talking point on the official site is Aaron Ramsey's goal of the season [...]

Switching off to the press talk

Happy Saturday to you and yours. Me and mine are spending it doing the square root of naff all, on account of an impending venture to the Algarve next week. There's a haircut, new house key cut and potentially a bit of back garden lawn cut, but that's about it. In Arsenal land, the only [...]

'Poor' Abou, avoiding the bargain bucket and Arsène's judgement

Poor old Abou Diaby. Released by Arsenal as of the end of June, his has been a career that could have promised so much, yet because of a North Eastern based call centre yob, was smashed in to as many pieces as his ankle was after Dan Smith made his horrible tackle all those years [...]

A deserved winner: Alexis 'Perpetual motion' Sanchez

In one of few online polls that isn't hijacked by Arsenal fans - because it's only about Arsenal players - it is perhaps the most representative result online that saw Alexis Sanchez smash all other competitors in his own team to the Player of the Season award with two thirds (66%) of the voting. Given [...]

Rags to riches story sees Coq take second

Almost as if to underline what I said yesterday about the Cech rumours, yesterday saw a new volley of sound bites hit our desktops and mobiles, firstly with Tomas Rosicky and then with Jose Mourinho himself. Rosicky played the ultimate 'Undercover Agent' card and effectively stated that there was interest on both sides for Cech, [...]

Cech saga to drag on, which is fine by me; Santi scoops third

It seems that we're in full flow on the transfer tittle-tattle-go-round, which means the happiest people to be are journalists, because they are the ones who have all of the attention. This time of year must be on their objectives or something, because the self-promoting and exposure-grabbing knows no bounds. If there's a meeting of [...]

Player holidays and non-football hobbies

I tried so hard to motivate myself to get up from a comfy lounger in the garden and watch the Ireland vs England match, but what with the sun being glorious and the prospect of end of season international friendlies being anything but, I just couldn't do it. There was one period - just after [...]
