Madueke at Arsenal is as underwhelming as you can get

Yesterday was a day at home doing lots of jobs and chores, so unusually for me, I got plenty of time to be scrolling through my social media feeds for the latest Arsenal-related transfer news. I picked a bad day to do it. That's because all the talk yesterday was on Arsenal reaching personal terms [...]

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 [...]

Could Zubimendi be great for Odegaard?

If you're inclined to believe some of the noises that were emerging yesterday from some of the more well-informed ITKs, then today is Zubi Day, with the club set to announce the Spaniard as their latest signing from Real Sociedad. It makes sense, really, after they made a fairly significant announcement on the women's side [...]

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

By |2025-07-05T09:33:32+01:00June 26th, 2025|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, gooners, Gunners, midfield, Transfers|0 Comments

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 [...]

Arteta the right man? The clear out, refresh, build, compete and ‘win’ model

By |2025-06-20T08:35:05+01:00June 20th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, History, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

I was asked an interesting question yesterday amidst a discussion yesterday about a project I might be involved in: Is Mikel Arteta the right man to take Arsenal to the title next season? It was one of those 'agree/disagree' things; you state your case thereafter, then debate with the fellow Arsenal fans that are in [...]

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. [...]

Less Arsenal dallying than you think?

I usually write my ramblings first thing in the morning so I can be done by the time my working day starts at 9am. So releasing the fixtures at 9am today is a real inconvenience for somebody like me, I gotta be honest with ya. Still, at least it gives me the opportunity to be [...]
