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 [...]

Stay ‘calma’ over Zubi, Gooners

Wednesday mornings, eh? Not quite the weekend, far enough away from last weekend to keep any lingering happy thoughts away, instead if you're a desk jockey like me you face a full day of work knowing that the weekend still lies a little too far beyond touching distance. I'm sure that's why they invented midweek [...]

Focus on your own garden

This time of the year is always a bit funny, I find, because people lose their minds over stuff that hasn't even happened yet. But what is worse is when people lose their minds over what others are doing. I get it to a point though. Until something concrete happens with your own team, you [...]

The transfer ‘scheduled send’ because of this weird window

By |2025-06-02T09:19:24+01:00June 2nd, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, gooners, Gunners, History, midfield, premier league, Transfers|0 Comments

It's a new week, the football is now all officially over for last season after the Champions League on Saturday night (I don't consider the Club World Cup as football - it's a FIFA money-spinning exercise) and the transfer window officially opened yesterday. It's open only for the clubs who are part of the national [...]

Feeling positive about this summer and next season

I didn't watch the Champions League final last night. I'm in Yorkshire with some of The Management's family over from New Zealand and we're doing a little bit of a holiday and, frankly, I didn't want to spoil it by watching a game that I feel we could/should have been in. Give me an Arsenal [...]
