Happy Friday folks. For me it's a Friday in which I am slightly worse for wear, on account of going to Wembley Stadium to see The Boss (not Mikel) bust out his tunes, so naturally I had a few beers whilst listening to Bruce Springsteen. I gotta tell you, felt a little weird being in [...]

As  somebody who didn't stay up until 3.30am this morning to watch the Arsenal versus Bournemouth friendly game that went on in the early hours of the morning (UK time), it's very difficult for me to make a proper assessment. I'll level with you; I haven't even seen the two goals scored in the 1-1 [...]

Howdy folks, hope we're all in fine fettle this Tuesday morning? The Arsenal 'squad' are in the US now and Arteta was interviewed ahead of the Bournemouth game tomorrow, as we prepare to take on Bournemouth in the early hours of the morning on Thursday UK time, which is the first time we've heard the [...]

Morning folks. Hope you're all good. Poor ol' Tomi, eh? Takehiro is not on tour with the rest of the squad over the next week and a bit because of a knee problem that some of the Arsenal journo's on the beat are saying relates to his knee. It means that he'll have two-to-three weeks [...]

So the players are back in training at London Colney and we're starting to get some vids and images of them knocking the ball around, preparing for the new season, which is enough to get your average Arsenal like me quite excited about what's to come over the next ten months or so. Gabriel Jesus [...]

Just a few short days after the final and Gareth Southgate has decided to step down as England manager. And I always find the narrative in the media and on social media as quite interesting when this sort of stuff happens. Suddenly everyone is out saying what a fantastic job he did, how he did [...]

It feels like the Arsenal wheels are turning – the excitement starts to build here

So the wheels seem to be in motion. Well, they've been in motion for a while on the players who are on the verge of exits - Sambi and Nuno - but this will be another sale by the club and I guess ultimately it all adds up. Sambi is off on a loan which [...]

Ahh man, there really is bugger all on today from a football perspective, that's for sure, with the Euro's final not on until Sunday, The Arsenal not on for a few weeks on from that, plus the only real transfer news going on is stuff we've already been privy too, like Lokonga, Calafiore and Tavares.

Morning folks, we all good? Well, as good as we can be given there's no football on at the moment and The Arsenal are still a solid six week's away until the proper stuff starts to kick in. I thought about going along to one of the friendlies we've got penned in for the beginning [...]

I watched both the quarter finals yesterday and with my feet firmly planted in the "I have German family" camp, I decided to get behind Der Mannschaft and cheer them on against Spain. My English blood has cursed my German family. They played decent enough, but as my cousin Dave said (he also taps in to [...]
