Do Arsenal have enough cover in defence – and the whole team – now?

Happy Friday Gooners. It's one of those weird Friday's where we have ourselves some words from the manager, but we don't actually play this weekend, instead having to wait until Monday night before our match week two begins. In some ways for me personally that's a good thing. I'm flying off to Berlin tonight for [...]

Looking for every Arsenal opening day good omen…

Morning folks, happy Friday and all that jazz. How are we all doing? I know this isn't a Liverpool blog, but I'm going to start off with the Caicedo news that  Ornstein dropped in the early hours of this morning. I mean, honestly, doesn't that guy sleep? What does he do, spend a few hours [...]

Well it seems - if ol' Romano is to be believed, that the Raya deal edges closer. I will still maintain that I'm not sure it is the move for us; he's a good 'keeper but no better than Ramsdale in my opinion, Brentford want too much money for a guy with one year left [...]

Can you make a case for Fabio Vieira this season?

Morning folks, how are we all doing on this Friday morn? Rubbish night sleep means that I thought I'd drag my sorry arse out of bed early to take advantage of the day, which also means getting my daily Arsenal content fix a little earlier than usual and after the fixture yesterday was in the [...]

Does Zinchenko’s absence force tactical changes for Forest at home in three weeks?

Morning Gooners, how we all doing? Been away from the blog for the last two days on account of a case of food poisoning that I got from a restaurant in London Waterloo on Saturday night. Wiped me out for two days but ready and rocking after what it feels like some mammoth sleeps and [...]

No more “one or two players short” Arsenal

Still nothing on the ol' signings front, but given we're at 13th July and today is our first pre season friendly game (proper one, the one at London Colney with Watford doesn't really count) I'm not going to get bent out of shape. The reality is we're just awaiting the formalities and then all will [...]

Why Arsenal’s pre season games might actually matter

It's all got a little slow now in terms of goings on at The Arsenal, eh? I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, of course, but speaking as somebody who wakes up in the morning and thinks "I wonder what stuff has been happening, or will happen in the next 24 hours, should occupy my thoughts [...]

Arsenal go down without a fight

Eugh. Really don't feel like writing about what transpired in Nottingham yesterday. Before the game The Management asked me how I was feeling about the match. "Meh, the season is over so I don't feel like there's any real jeopardy here" was my response. Of course she knew I was lying as much as I [...]

Should Arteta experiment for the final two games?

Still feeling it a little bit after the game on Sunday. How about you? Even the catharsis of doing the pod last night hasn't helped to get me over the defeat to Brighton. I said on the pod that my football hangover cure was to avoid social media for a bit and that I did, [...]

Bogey team Brighton provide a massive test for The Arsenal

Cor blimey I had a skin-full last night. Eurovision virtual party with the family and I decided the only way to get through it is to drink so much booze that walking upstairs to bed felt like a pilgrimage. **Makes noise like Sideshow Bob when he steps on all those rakes in The Simpsons** I [...]
