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, [...]

Howdy peeps, hope Wednesday is treating you well thus far, and you haven't exploded in anticipation for the showpiece trophy of the year this weekend? Yep, it's the Emirates Cup that awaits us on Saturday and Sunday and Arsène is certainly one that falls in to the 'excited anticipation' camp, if you believe what he [...]

Poor fitness session for Arsenal, as more Alexis rumours are dismissed

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 [...]

PSG? Sure! Shut up and take my Alexis.

It's funny how rumour and speculation can send some football fans mad with anger. Every summer there is a transfer rumour either in or out that clearly isn't on the cards, yet people go bonkers over it for a period of time, then a week later have forgotten all about it. That's kind of how [...]

Style change in Arsenal attack probably means a Giroud exit

It's the Friday calm before the 'storm' ahead of another pre season tour game tomorrow against that horrible lot from West London tomorrow. Like we didn't see enough of them last season. Now we have to deal with them in the summer too. And their fans will be extra buoyed by the Morata signing, which [...]

Iwobi resurgence might soften Alexis blow

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 [...]

It's Saturday morning, about thirty minutes before kick off in Australia for the second pre season game of the season, and I'm blogging. Have you ever done something that you know will be redundant the second you've finished it? That's me right about now. It's like vacuuming your house and steaming the wooden floors before [...]

They're in Australia, they're posing for pictures and soon they'll be running out on to the turf for the first game of the summer, which means that yep, pre season is well and truly underway. Which means the new season is officially on countdown. Lacazette has been pictured training and Arsène has confirmed that he [...]

Arsenal plane lands, Arsène attempts to give hope

The Arsenal squad are in Australia and it didn't take long for the plane to touch down on Ozzie soil before the manager was asked about Alexis. In his first public speaking engagement, he was wheeled out in front of the usual assembled pack, to talk about the upcoming tour and also some of the [...]

Happy Sunday and happy Father's Day to all the dads out there. May you be gifted with pieces of paper with writing scrawled on it. And beer. Or wine.  I'm in the sunny West of France with the in-laws, having spent the weekend relaxing, and with the total lack of interesting Arsenal related news I [...]
