Suburban Gooners – Arsenal Blog
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 [...]
Jota devastation – hug your loved ones harder
Before I kick off any Arsenal-related musings today, I thought I'd take a moment to acknowledge and express my sadness at the Diogo Jota news yesterday. Very sad and sobering. At 28-year's old to lose your life is a tragedy in any walk of life. This was a man recently married, with a wife and [...]
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 [...]
Kepa The Keeper is a Gooner
Now I'm not going to claim a victory after yesterday insisting that 'ACTION' needed to happen from yesterday, but less than 12 hours after I'd written my thinkings yesterday on the need for new signings, a shiny new footballer rocked up at The Emirates. Maybe I need to use this power again soon? Of course [...]
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
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
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 [...]
