There's still another three days before Matchday is upon us and, perhaps unsurprisingly, all is quiet. So quiet, that talk about Cazorla wanting to return to Spain has seen a ripple of interest across the tinternet. Santi grew up near Real Oviedo and has said he'd like to go back there one day before he [...]

The balancing act – squad depth, signings and harmony

Eurgh, midweek drinking (combinations of ale, red wine, Sailor Jerry and Port are not to be trifled with, fyi) accompanied by an early get up and train journey into the city for work, don't exactly make for the happiest Chris on this here earth, I can assure you. I've got that 'punched in the face' [...]

fanciful Walcott hypothesising

With one more pointless set of internationals to play, we're still knee-deep in the thick of it, footballistically speaking. We had the worry of Welbeck's injury that still looms on the horizon but, with Arsène probably not going to speak to the press until Thursday at the earliest, there's still plenty of time for us to [...]

Excited NLD countdown, with ridiculous optimism for 2015

With the countdown to the North London Derby (NLD) now well underway, the speculation on team line-up has never been so intriguing, from what I can see online and with people I speak to in real life. Us Gooners are collectively salivating over the possible options and, for the first time since I don't know [...]

Transfer-schmansfer, our squad options get me excited

Do you know, in all the commotion and emotions of winning yet another football game and keeping yet another clean sheet, I completely forgot that yesterday was Transfer Deadline Day? How remiss of me. How terrible that I did not feed the behemoth that is the last day of the January silly season, by counting [...]

Le boss in fine fettle and the club in form; what we all want, right?

Arsene took on the press yesterday and, as expected I suppose given our form and the announcement of a signing to talk about in the shape of Gabriel, he was in quite a jovial mood. I must say, it is much more preferable to me when everyone is a little bit more happier. I think [...]

It's finally happened (in more ways than one)

It's finally happened. After waiting for so long, Arsenal announced the signing of Gabriel from Villareal for the now standard princely sum of "undisclosed fee". When I say 'finally happened', it has a few meanings of course. Firstly, given our general knowledge about the transfer for about a week now, it was finally announced after [...]

Squad form leading to rotation for Arsène?

Do you think that Arsenal deliberately hold on to transfer announcements, just to troll the entire Arsenal supporting social media world? Feels like it, doesn't it? So perhaps it should come as no surprise that we're all still waiting on the Gabriel Paulista announcement (as I type), because Arsenal are masters of the 'shall we? [...]

Entertaining Boro, chuckling at Nayim

Yesterday we learnt our fate in the FA Cup and after a brief sojourn down to the south coast, it's more home comforts, after a home draw against Middlesborough was announced. Given all of the teams that still remain in the competition, it could have been easier, especially as Boro are playing well and look [...]

Shocks, Gabriel and a tactical overview of Brighton

Well what a weekend of FA Cup football we have witnessed, eh? I don't think I've ever seen anything like this, with a host of 'big' teams crashing out to supposed inferior opposition. And at home too. Chelski, Spuds and City were all sent packing and the form team and surprise package this season - [...]
