So it looks like Granit Xhaka is on the verge of "FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!" as they say in the ol' US of A when wanting their politicians to stay on. Only this doesn't feel like a groundswell of Arsenal public opinion that will see the Swiss international captain get a slight pay [...]
Morning folks. Happy Tuesday n’all that jazz. Hope you and yours are doing fine. We’re at T-minus ten days and counting until the kick of to the Premier League season and I don’t know about you, but I feel a mixture of excitement and trepidation about the season ahead. What isn’t helping is that it [...]
Plenty to chew over from yesterday's 2-2* draw over Chelski at the Emirates, some good, some shall we say 'less so good'. Let's get the less so good stuff out of the way first though, because I'd rather finish today's blog feeling a little more positive, given that it's a Monday morning. Arteta named a [...]
Some pre match thoughts ahead of Arsenal v Chelski in this pre match friendly at the Emirates today.
Well, don't we have a lot of things to chew over on this Thursday morn, eh? For starters there was a game yesterday.

In the first game we saw shocking howlers (Croatia's first [...]
I don't know what it is about this Euro's, but I'm finding myself oddly enjoying it, which is a real first for international tournaments. Don't get me wrong, I watch them, follow England and then Germany and to a lesser extent the Dutch, but I never really bother with most of the games, usually because [...]
Morning folks. Right, plenty to sink our teeth in to today, so let's get straight to it and start with... France vs Germany / Portugal vs Hungary My second country, country of my Grandmother and usually a shoe in for some proper hope in international tournaments - Germany - showed why there aren't too many [...]
Morning all, hope you are all splendid today and feeling bright as a button for this latest week of rumour, counter-rumour, rage, fear and general angst that comes with a summer Arsenal transfer window. A summer in which - like every summer window since social media turned transfers into an opportunity to shout at a [...]
