Morning Gooners, happy match day to you, even if it is only a 'fitness developing' exercise today when we play Benfica on home soil. I think I will watch the games this afternoon, because I suspect we'll get a better indication on how much work is needed for this team after today's workout. The usual [...]
Happy Friday bestowed unto thee. I hope yours is joyful and flavoursome ahead of the weekend. Mine will mostly be spent at home trying to make sense of the incremental weather conditions and watching our Emirates Cup games on Quest, that most random of "if there's nothing else on normal telly" channels that exist. Hey, [...]
During the era of Denilson, Bendtner, Chamakh and Gervinho, also known as The First Deadwood era, I held no real affinity for any of the players who weren't in the first XI. They were young players who'd shown promise and, thanks to the likes of Nasri and Cesc, the club had panicked and signed them [...]
It should be a relatively quiet one today, because I'm imagining that the team will be enroute back to the UK to prepare for domestic friendlies before the season opener in the glorified friendly against the chavs. I can't see this blog last too long today either, because quite frankly I'm almost all out of [...]
Friendlies, eh? If you win em, you get "it means nothing, just a fitness session", but lose and it's "we've got no chance next season" until the next time the team play. So after a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Chelski, it's the latter that some people are saying on this Sunday and with [...]
Wellety, wellety, wellety. Arsenal won a football match against Bayern Munich. Never thought we'd see the day, eh? Of course we'll ignore the fact that Bayern looked at times like they couldn't be arsed. Plus we'll discount that the victory came from penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time. Plus we'll not pay much [...]
No sooner had the boots been polished following the Australia tour, than the team are off to China and training in the blistering summer heat of Shanghai, as the team take part in some sort of trophy involving all of the types of teams that none of us want to see Arsenal play, So it's [...]
The Chilean hath spoken and yesterday afternoon we were given insight from Alexis as to what he wants. He wants Champions League football and it's always been his dream to win it. But as he's also admitted, it's up to Arsenal when it comes to what happens next, so it appears he's moved his chess [...]

At 11am this morning UK time I believe Arsenal will be kicking off their pre season campaign with a game against Syndney FC and ahead of that match the club launched the new third kit, which will hardly be seen by anyone throughout the season, but more importantly it was sported by key players and [...]
