First thigns first, how about that Mikel Merino bagging himself another goal in what sounds like an absolutely mental international game last night, eh? I saw the goal as it did the rounds on social media last night and it was a well worked piece and a very fine finish from our Spaniard. For somebody [...]
I didn't watch the Champions League final last night. I'm in Yorkshire with some of The Management's family over from New Zealand and we're doing a little bit of a holiday and, frankly, I didn't want to spoil it by watching a game that I feel we could/should have been in. Give me an Arsenal [...]
Here was me getting all hot under the collar over Gyokeres and Sesko yesterday, whilst all along Arsenal were making their moves for a certain Martin Zubimendi behind closed doors. I should start talking about left backs. Maybe that'll be enough reverse-jinx for us to do a striker deal in the next 48 hours... The [...]
It's funny, because I do this every season, but I forget that this time of the year is the worst when it comes to the football period. If your team isn't successful, that is, because it all feels a little barren. In about a week or two's time, the euphoria from other fans has warn off [...]
Yesterday The Arsenal Women had a trophy lift session at The Emirates and I have to say, it was some really positive #content for us to watch and re-watch, after a difficult season for the Men's team. And if you think about it, it has also been difficult for the women too; they didn't start [...]
Only one place to start today, which is with The Arsenal Women, who did what I think most of us would agree was the unthinkable, by sinking Barcelona Femini. That Barca team tend to down anyone they come across, so to completely shut them out and then see the final stages over the line after [...]
You know it's funny, I get so focus and insular on Arsenal and improvements that we make, that I forget that other teams will also be making efforts to improve their squad in the summer. I didn't watch the Brighton-Liverpool game, but I saw that Arne Slot was doing his bit to stoke the transfer [...]
I thought we saw a relatively relaxed Mikel Arteta at his press conference yesterday. I wonder if it was the sun, the fact that he was starting to get over recent disappointments, the tone of the questioning, or maybe it was that he got to deliver good news to the media on Kai Havertz. Naturally [...]
It's the penultimate press conference of the season today and I'll bet Mikel Arteta can't wait to be shot of them at this stage. It'll be more of the same as he's had in the last few weeks and I suspect he'll have to go on the defensive a bit for the form. Other than [...]
Arsenal held an open training day session yesterday at The Emirates, where the players took to the field and went through some pretty basic numbers, whilst also doing a few autograph signings, etc. That in itself is nothing ground-breaking or new, but the fact that Leo Trossard, Declan Rice and Kai Havertz all made it [...]
