It's funny how everybody seems to lose their sh*t when a big transfer happens to a rival, especially when we've seemingly been innocently looking to the sky and whistling so as to not attract much attention to ourselves, isn't it? And when I say 'funny', what I actually mean is 'maddeningly hysterical, because that's how [...]
Like you, I am hoping that Arsenal can feel in Shokran Mustafi from Valencia, but unlike many I feel like I'm one of the few people that has realised that if it actually happens we've still got a selection dilemma come the first game of the season. Mustafi played in the same squad as Özil. [...]
Julian Draxler is apparently going nowhere, say Wolfsburg, and if you believe that their statement yesterday is anything other than an attempt to maximise a return on a clearly unhappy player, I've got some genuine Caesar salad dressing that was on the table of the last emperor himself, that I could sell you. Wolfsburg know [...]
When you've had your dinner really early, like 5.30pm or 6pm, then you get to 9 O'Clock and you start to feel hungry again. That's how I'd describe the Arsenal fanbase right now in relation to transfers and how we feel about the squad. In June, before the Euro's started, we secured what is looking [...]
What I'd love to be able to talk about this morning, is some kind of exciting, new, shiny and completely left of field type of player that Arsenal announced yesterday. Do you remember when that used to happen? Like the time we got Eduardo. I was at work in the office, then a work colleague [...]
A 3-1 victory over Chivas de Guadalajara yesterday was just the ticket for the Arsenal squad. We all know these games are about building up fitness, about preparation for the long Premier League season, but winning is fun and seeing that Arsenal won again in the States yesterday was good on my tired eyes as [...]
This has got to be a wind up, right? Arsenal linked with Johnny Evans? AS in, former United squad player, deemed surplus to requirements, plays in a pretty average West Brom side, Johnny Evans. But that we're linked, that we're even linked, isn't even the punchline. £16million. THAT'S the punchline. I don't even know where to go with [...]
I like Thursday's. Not as much as Friday's, but Thursday's still have faint whiff of the weekend about them and as far as I'm concerned, that's a-ok with me. Usually you start to get stories coming out of Arsenal on a Thursday too, even in the pre-season summer lull, stuff always feels like it's about [...]
Hello there friend. I hope you can bear with me today, lest I become ever-so-slightly ranty. I hope not to be too ranty though. Last night I read an article from the always erudite Adrian Clarke, who talked about how some people are getting a little bit knicker-twisty in relation to the activity that has [...]
These are strange and dangerous times, people, strange and dangerous times. In the wider world outside football there is much conflict, with countries declaring states of emergency, as well as the bigots using 'Brexit' as a means to peddle their own racist views with what seems like impunity. Plus, Sam Allardyce is about to be [...]
