Having not watched any of our pre season friendlies - and I think I should probably underline the word friendly for today's blog of context - I wasn't going to start yesterday lunchtime by watching us play The Scum. But I followed what was going on and have also read a few match reports and seen [...]
Do you know what I love? A good ol' fashioned story about how shirt sales have paid for a transfer. Nothing beats it. It reminds me of the early 2ks when you hear stories like how Beckham's fee that Real Madrid paid to United was paid for overnight. It does make me chuckle. So when [...]
I'll get into the Arsenal men's teams' second win of pre season after a somewhat feisty encounter in Singapore against Newcastle yesterday lunchtime UK time, but before all of that, let's have a word or two to say about the fabulous England Lionesses, who retained the Euro trophy on penalties by defeating Spain in the [...]
So we’re on the move with Big Vik it seems, as yesterday both Ornstein and Romano confirmed that the deal was fully agreed and the player could travel to London for his medical. That will likely happen today, then I suspect - all being well - he’ll do his pictures and other video work, interviews, [...]
Arsenal kicked off their pre season yesterday with a 1-0 win over Milan and sure as eggs is eggs, it was Bukayo Saka who was the difference maker. Annoyingly I wasn't able to watch the game in full because I was at work, but even if I'd have been off, there's zero chance I'm paying [...]
It's a new week, the lads are in Singapore, Mikel Arteta has had a press conference and by all accounts, he seemed in good spirits. He talked about a whole manner of things - not Gyokeres by name though - and given what he said and the way he said it, it's clear that we [...]
Been a little too busy with work and family stuff over the last 48 hours, so haven't had much time to compose some morning thoughts post the Madueke signing, but it's done, we've picked up the player and I think now that it's all in black and white - or should I say red and white [...]
I don't really understand why battle lines need to be drawn amongst the Arsenal fanbase online, I have to say, with regards to this Sesko/Gyokeres saga. I've seen people getting really quite pissy over the fact that Sesko will most probably not be 'the guy' and that he'll probably be plying his trade elsewhere either [...]
Here we are folks - match day! I have to tell you, I know this feeling well from many years on this planet and many times experiencing this s well as getting to go to The Arsenal on the first day of the season, but this feels like the most excited I've been of what's [...]
Loads for me to sink my teeth in to today from an Arsenal perspective, so let's dive right in, shall we? I'm not even going to go in to detail about the new third kit rumoured to be being released today (with a nice little cameo from Vieira in a video posted last night, I [...]
