Williams to Barca, but Martinelli posts up just as well…

It's funny, you know, because whilst lots of people have been hot on Nico Williams, that has never really permeated the football side of my brain. So when Ornstein drops a confirmation that Williams wants Barcelona and that Barca are sorting out the details on a deal, I say "absolutely fine by me". I think [...]

‘Back-of-a-fag-packet’ transfer money recouped for Arsenal this summer

By |2025-06-16T08:49:54+01:00June 16th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, gooners, Gunners, Transfers|0 Comments

Yesterday I saw - and got my thoughts in too - some stuff online about Zinchenko being a target for AC Milan. And it occurred to me that with all of this chatter about incoming strikers, I haven't really thought about exits that will happen this summer for The Arsenal. We've already sent Neto back, [...]

Arsenal need to just pick one of the delicious cakes

That pointless tournament in America kicked off last night and did so with the kind of 'bang' I think most of us were hoping for: A boring 0-0 draw. I didn't watch it, but Sky Sports thrust it into my eye-line on their website this morning with a match review, whose highlights included "Messi hit [...]

The Williams situation is something Arsenal should just walk away from

Is it me, or does it feel like we're in a bit of a transfer washing machine at the moment? Going round and round and round with little changing... All I keep seeing when I log in to sports sites is: Gyokeres' agent and Arsenal still talking or Sesko bid is imminent or Arsenal still [...]

The Great Arsenal Striker Hunt of 2025 takes new (predictable) twist

By |2025-06-12T08:30:25+01:00June 12th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, Attack, gooners, Gunners, Transfers|0 Comments

Now it feels like a summer transfer window, eh?!? Arsenal fans getting pulled from pillar-to-post over certain players and situations? And of course it's related to the The Great Striker Hunt of 2025. Which is an evolution of The Great Striker Hunt of 2024. It's a bit like Home Alone 2; they've essentially taken the [...]

Football fatigue for other teams is fine by me – not for our lads though

I actually switched on the Nations League final yesterday for 15 minutes, just so I could have a quick look at Zubimendi, although I didn't get a glimpse of his goal. I did unfortunately see Ronaldo get the equaliser to make it 2-2 and then prance around for a few minutes afterwards as if he [...]

Merino’s versatility, Kepa’s ‘cheapness’

First thigns first, how about that Mikel Merino bagging himself another goal in what sounds like an absolutely mental international game last night, eh? I saw the goal as it did the rounds on social media last night and it was a well worked piece and a very fine finish from our Spaniard. For somebody [...]

Happy birthday (and good luck) Kieran Tierney

By |2025-06-05T08:45:41+01:00June 5th, 2025|Arsenal FC|1 Comment

Today I thought I'd take a bit of time to pay homage to our former (almost) Scottish left back Kieran Tierney, who is returning to his homeland and Celtic in the summer, following almost six year's at the club, having signed in September 2019. It's his birthday today too. So happy birthday to KT. You've [...]
