Morning folks, how we all doing on this fine looking Monday, eh? I decided to go for a little bit of ribeye steak last night with homemade triple cooked chips and, as a result, drank a little too much Napa Valley red before going to bed and having to get up early this morning for [...]

Timber’s in, Rice too (sort of?)

Well we finally have that closure on transfers that we wanted, with the confirmation yesterday of Jurrien Timber from Ajax announced by the club, then this morning as I have been sat at my desk typing away, West Ham have weirdly confirmed that Declan Rice is leaving West Ham - without actually mentioning Arsenal at [...]

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 [...]

What are we going to do about Pepe, eh?

Seen a bit of chatter online on social media and then in a couple of WhatsApp groups I am in about Nicolas Pepe. Whilst a chunk of the Arsenal squad went out to Germany to prep for the first pre season game of the summer against FC Nurnberg tomorrow, there were a few players that [...]

How well will Arsenal use the loan market this summer?

Hey kids, how we all doing then, eh? Getting impatient about the lack of Timber and Rice announcements? Yeah, I am kinda too, but there's so much leaking out at the moment that the club are sure to do something today I reckon. We had Jurrien Timber's brother posting a picture of the player in [...]

Saliba sorted, Dwight Yorke’s random ‘takes’ and chuckling at Chelsea’s attempt for Balogun

Don't mix your alcohol, kids. It will end badly for you. Spoken from a man with plenty of experience and exposure to this scenario. And I'm supposed to be going to a Bruce Springsteen concert later in Hyde Park. Bleugh. Still, on the up side, Arsenal confirmed the contract extension of Big Bill Saliba and [...]

Why are (some) West Ham fans so angry at Arsenal?

This morning I logged in to my Twitter as usual and for the third day in a row I saw a debate that had been retweeted by an Arsenal fan, between West Ham fans, about the whole Declan Rice situation. And I have to tell you, it confused the heck out of me. The debate [...]

Returning faces to London Colney, with an Ornbomb suggesting one more incoming

By |2023-07-05T07:30:21+01:00July 5th, 2023|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, gooners, Gunners, midfield, pre season, Rant, Transfers|0 Comments

The Ornbomb has landed and Romano has regaled us, so it seems this saga will soon reach it's conclusion. But at this point I'm not really sure what else there is to say, other than I'm glad it's happening and hopefully we are going to be able to swiftly move on so we can focus [...]

After Rice and Timber, Arsenal aren’t dropping another big deal. Are they?

Morning folks and happy Tuesday to you and yours. Back in to the swing now and after listening to the always excellent Arsenal Opinion podcast featuring Johnny and Pete on my morning run this morning, I was listening to some of their comments about some of the potential incomings that are being touted IN ADDITION [...]

There is no more transfer ‘mystique’ any more

Happy Monday folks. Well, as happy as it can be after you've just had a wonderful week off in the sun boozing, eating nice food and generally sleeping in late. This 'returning back to work and having to get up early to tap at your computer' thing is, ideally, not something I'd like to do. [...]
