Arsenal should lean in to the ‘sell on clause’ era

That was a bit more fun yesterday at the Euro's, eh? We had goals, we had drama, we had teams going for matches and not relying on own goals, penalties, boring sufferball; it was how the Euro's or any international tournament should be played. Not what we're all now used to if you're of a certain [...]

Big Bill and that spurious Barca link

L:et's start of this morning with a little chuckle at this story that've seen this morning, suggesting that Barcelona are plotting an 'ambitious' bid for William Saliba. I'm sure Barca love the look of Big Bill - who wouldn't given he's just come off of another season in which he's proven himself to be one [...]

All the football is about to be here – but not Andriy Lunin

This might be a short one today, as I seem to have amassed a whole bunch of work I have to do first thing this morning (both 'work work' and life admin) that has meant I've got about 12 minutes to pen some thoughts before I go in to the first meeting of the day. [...]

What’s acceptable when it comes to Arsenal transfer fees?

Last night I did a bit of an impromptu pod with Cookie on the Same Old Arsenal channel in which we talked about 'keep, loan or sell' through a selection of players. I reeled off a few Transfermarkt figures in Euros but, if you're a regular user of Transfermarkt like I am, you'll know that [...]

VAR confirmed, the ‘red cartel’ nonsense is comical and gaslighting

By |2024-06-07T08:28:10+01:00June 7th, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, finances, gooners, Gunners, History|4 Comments

In the most obvious outcome possible from a gathering of the Premier League clubs to vote on certain motions, yesterday we found out that Arsenal and 18 other clubs voted to keep VAR yesterday, as Wolves lost their motion to have it scrapped, with no real surprises that everyone else wanted to keep it. I [...]

Sporting integrity must prevail

Morning all - hope you're all good? I'm back from a week-and-a-half sunning myself and whilst I haven't bothered picking up the proverbial internet online quill to pen some thoughts, I've been following all the bits and bobs that have been happening in the Arsenal and football world over the last week or so. As [...]

That’s that then

Not sure how long today's ramblings will be, to be honest with you, because it feels like the inevitable has inevitably become inevitable after finding out about The Scum's defeat to City yesterday. I didn't watch the game, I'm not interested in knowing the details, I checked at halftime and then towards the end and [...]

It’s a good job Arsenal got Champions League football this season…

City gave Luton a bit of a hammering last night and whilst at first my instant reaction was 'oh no' I think the reality is that we need their schedule to be as packed as possible. The more games they have loaded in to their schedule the better and this will mean that they have [...]

Is less games the answer for football?

Morning Gooners and happy Monday to you. I was in the Algarve over the weekend and so didn't have much chance to pen any thoughts, but as it was an international weekend that kind of worked out well for me, because Eddie Nketiah first England appearance aside in the last 20 minutes of the friendly [...]

Flo to go but at least Gabby J is back

Well now, it seems to be some movement going on at London Colney, as we reach the 'one week and counting' part of the summer transfer window. It is the curse - or gift depending on how you see it - of this blogger that I spent half an hour yesterday writing about how we [...]
