Shrewd Arsenal making Raya and Patino moves

I was pretty confused when I first heard about the Raya links. I couldn't understand why we were dropping close to £30million on a guy who will not start the season and may not be able to break through if Ramsdale has a stormer this season. And why were KSE/the Arsenal board willing to drop [...]

I'm going to let you 'in behind the curtain' a little here and level with you, these words were written yesterday (Saturday), as I knew that I would be rather hungover and probably in no mood to sit at my computer and tap away at the keyboard for 20 minutes whilst trying to prepare myself [...]

Arteta is testing a few things – post Monaco thoughts

We won the Emirates Cup! Arteta has done it again! Of course I'm being a bit flippant and, unlike Richarlison, you could see when Martin Odegaard lifted the trophy last night by the way he looked so sheepish that this is hardly the 'big prize' that we were after, but I suppose a win is [...]

Well it seems - if ol' Romano is to be believed, that the Raya deal edges closer. I will still maintain that I'm not sure it is the move for us; he's a good 'keeper but no better than Ramsdale in my opinion, Brentford want too much money for a guy with one year left [...]

Lokonga and Patino ripples

Howdy folks and welcome to Tuesday - how we all doing? I've woken up feeling a bit chipper and that is grand. I don't know why though; maybe just a good night sleep and after the grim grey day of yesterday it is sunny outside today. It won't last - this is England. And it [...]

Can you make a case for Fabio Vieira this season?

Morning folks, how are we all doing on this Friday morn? Rubbish night sleep means that I thought I'd drag my sorry arse out of bed early to take advantage of the day, which also means getting my daily Arsenal content fix a little earlier than usual and after the fixture yesterday was in the [...]

The tour begins, but where is Partey?

Morning folks, how we all doing on this fine looking Monday, eh? I decided to go for a little bit of ribeye steak last night with homemade triple cooked chips and, as a result, drank a little too much Napa Valley red before going to bed and having to get up early this morning for [...]

Smith Rowe must seize this summers opportunity

Morning peeps, hope we’re all good, feeling dandy and looking forward to an enjoyable Sunday? Emile Smith Rowe will be a happy chap oh waking up this morning, won’t he? He and his England under-21 teammates won the under-21 Euros last night and in it he secured himself a lovely ol’ bit of silverware that [...]

Why are (some) West Ham fans so angry at Arsenal?

This morning I logged in to my Twitter as usual and for the third day in a row I saw a debate that had been retweeted by an Arsenal fan, between West Ham fans, about the whole Declan Rice situation. And I have to tell you, it confused the heck out of me. The debate [...]

Returning faces to London Colney, with an Ornbomb suggesting one more incoming

The Ornbomb has landed and Romano has regaled us, so it seems this saga will soon reach it's conclusion. But at this point I'm not really sure what else there is to say, other than I'm glad it's happening and hopefully we are going to be able to swiftly move on so we can focus [...]
