It's Friday, it's press conference day, it'll be Mikel Arteta and hopefully when he's asked about Eberechi Eze at some stage, we get that Arsene Wenger pre-Ozil signing smile that has become so iconic over the years. We talked about the magnitude of it on the Same Old Arsenal podcast last night and I think [...]
Here we are folks - it's match day! And what a start we have to it, eh? United away. I know they won't be the force of 20 years ago, or even five years ago, but this is still Man United and it's still a place that hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us [...]
Morning campers, how we all doing? The Premier League is now underway and last night we got ourselves our first glimpses of a Liverpool team that, as I put out on social media a week ago, I really hope defend like that all season. Sure, they still won and grabbed a last minute winner(s) which [...]
It’s a curious thing, is pre season, because you can have your concerns about performances, but not about results. It’s a real juxtaposition to the real thing, in which ultimately the opposite is true. Due to work commitments I managed to catch from minute 28 of the game against Villareal last night and found myself [...]
It's another friendly match day today for The Arsenal and I'm intrigued to see how we line up tonight against Villareal. Will we see a pretty much first team rock up against the Spanish side? Or will it be a blended side from the start like in the Asian tour? equally, will we have a [...]
I'll get into the Arsenal men's teams' second win of pre season after a somewhat feisty encounter in Singapore against Newcastle yesterday lunchtime UK time, but before all of that, let's have a word or two to say about the fabulous England Lionesses, who retained the Euro trophy on penalties by defeating Spain in the [...]
Arsenal kicked off their pre season yesterday with a 1-0 win over Milan and sure as eggs is eggs, it was Bukayo Saka who was the difference maker. Annoyingly I wasn't able to watch the game in full because I was at work, but even if I'd have been off, there's zero chance I'm paying [...]
It's a new week, the lads are in Singapore, Mikel Arteta has had a press conference and by all accounts, he seemed in good spirits. He talked about a whole manner of things - not Gyokeres by name though - and given what he said and the way he said it, it's clear that we [...]
Well it's the start of a new week and we have ourselves quite a busy one it sounds like, because last night we got the Ornbomb that Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon have settled on a package that works for both parties and Viktor Gyokeres will be allowed to get himself over to The Arsenal for [...]
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 [...]
