The news broke that we kind of already knew yesterday, but it was still important and lovely to read nonetheless: Mikel Arteta has signed a new contract with The Arsenal This is fantastic news. Yes, everyone was 'calma' about it at The Arsenal; the journos 'in the know' were all saying it is pretty much [...]
Morning, boys and girls, hope you're all well. Yesterday I was waxing lyrical about Mikel Arteta's new deal, and in that blog I talked about how we need to start looking at Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice next. Well, wouldn't you just know it, but Tuesday and yesterday's news started emerging about just that. Declan [...]
Good old Arsenal, we're proud to say that name, While there's no proper football, Arteta's contract announcement is the name of the game. Alright, it doesn't quite work, but it was the first thing that popped into my head as I started penning today's musings. And it's a big deal. Both literally and figuratively, because [...]
We kick off match week 25 with a host of non-Arsenal fixtures, as the TV companies continue to feed from the money trough by spreading matches over three days, and I can't work out whether us playing on Thursday is a good thing or not. The Scum, for example, play Newcastle tonight, but then they [...]
Let's start with the lovely ol' news that Bukayo Saka has reportedly agreed a new deal worth around £350k-per-week, depending on who you believe. What great news this is to finish a working week! It was announced yesterday via David Ornstein and a few others that pen had been put to paper on a new [...]
I'm going to do my usual look at how Palace fans are feeling right now ahead of our game at the weekend, as well as a bit on their game last night against Larnaca (which I think is more famed for it's party town history than it's football team, but there you go), but before [...]
I want to talk about Big Bill Saliba and the news that broke yesterday, but before I do that, a sad word for a young man who lost his life this week - Billy Vigar - who was once an Arsenal academy graduate. I posted about it last night, but this is tragic that a [...]
Happy Wednesday folks. We'll obviously get to the Trossard stuff, the Eze, as well as how the summer is playing out and the reaction of Arsenal fans to the news that Leo has his pay rise without an extension, but before that, how about what is unfolding with Newcastle and Alexander Isak this summer, eh? [...]
First things first, I have to say, I'm not 100% happy about the fact that Granit Xhaka is returning to the Premier League for Sunderland. The first thing that popped into my head was 'why?' when I heard the rumour. He won the league with Leverkusen, he was a regular in their team last season, [...]
We finally got the announcement on Christian Mosquera yesterday and as usual it was accompanied by a pretty swish intro video that had all the hallmarks of the Arsenal social media team. Nicely put together, he said the right things and by all accounts this looks and feels like a very good an sensible signing. [...]
