Arsenal fans in ‘Justification Mode’ over Madueke – and that’s ok

Had a fair bit of work stuff and other bits going on yesterday, so didn't find the time to compose some thoughts in the wake of the rapidly evolving Madueke story, so shall we have a chat today about it? Firstly, I think it's difficult for me to row back from my original thoughts and [...]

Comparing Norgaard and Jorginho at Arsenal

It's Wednesday, it's the start of a bit of a heatwave here in the UK, it's sure to be an announcement day today with Christian Norgaard expected to be announced as the latest Arsenal acquisition. Why? Because as we all saw on the socials yesterday, somebody snapped him arriving and getting his video done as [...]

Norgaard will complete the upgrades – but what are we able to do on top of that?

I don't really understand why battle lines need to be drawn amongst the Arsenal fanbase online, I have to say, with regards to this Sesko/Gyokeres saga. I've seen people getting really quite pissy over the fact that Sesko will most probably not be 'the guy' and that he'll probably be plying his trade elsewhere either [...]

Zubi’s in, Gyok is next?

Well now, it's all kicking off in the Arsenal universe, eh? Yesterday we got the official confirmation of Martin Zubimendi's arrival from Real Sociedad, with the first pictures of him in next season's kit, then later in the day there was talk of the striker situation finally nearing a conclusion. Thankfully. Let's start with the [...]

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

By |2025-07-04T07:49:27+01:00July 4th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, History, pre season, Transfers|2 Comments

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 [...]
