I hate to be a Johnny-I-told-you-so merchant, but as I wrote about just four days ago, it appears that clubs are playing the "if he's worth x, ours is worth y" card, it seems. Yesterday, we got Matt Law telling us that Villa view Rogers at £130million, whereas the French outlets are also signalling that they want similar monies to [...]
It's a new week, and another set of World Cup games to be peppered with, and the first of the knockout matches has already been decided. I didn't watch Canada beat South Africa last night, mainly because I wasn't sure what time it was on. I've gotten so used to the games being on at [...]
Thankfully, we didn't see Declan Rice yesterday, as Tuchel did the sensible thing and kept the Arsenal midfielder out of harms way as England got over a plucky Panama team last night. I watched the first half in a bar in London with some mates, pretty uninspired by England, but that's Par for the course [...]
Most of the time, when I write my daily ramblings, I jot down a stream of conscious thought and then rack my brains as to what the title should be. But there are rare occasions where I start with the title and let it flow from there. Why am I telling you this? Well, obviously, [...]
Morning campers. Hope we're all good? I was going to start looking ahead to the United game on Sunday, but given Ethan Nwaneri has essentially signed for Marseille on loan for the rest of this season, I figured we need to say something about that. It appears Big Bill Saliba has had his say before departing [...]
Well that's it then. The summer of plenty for The Arsenal ended last night with the capture of Piero Hincapie and the exits of Jakub Kiwior to Porto, Reiss Nelson to Brentford, Sambi Lokonga to Hamburg for around £10million, Fabio Vieira on loan to Hamburg and Olekzandr Zinchenko to Forest right at the death. Let's [...]
I thought about watching the Newcastle v Liverpool game, but ended up doing a BBQ instead and when we'd finished eating, I flicked on the TV to see Liverpool two-goals up and Newcastle down to ten men so I said to myself "no chance I'm watching the rest of that game" and switched it off [...]
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 [...]
Well, that was a whirlwind 24 hours as an Arsenal fan, wasn’t it? This time yesterday I was writing about the Trossard deal, trying to justify what felt like quite an odd move from the club, as it appeared as though we were unlikely to be doing any more business. I pondered over what we [...]
Ok, I just want the season up and running now, as I'm becoming a bit impatient and I'm needing to not have the 'feelings' that I've got. Those 'feelings' are the ones that are irrational and based on the fact that because nobody has really kicked a ball in anger yet, every other team has [...]
