Having spent the last few weeks worrying about how many of our players are going to come back from the World Cup in one piece, yesterday it was nice to see a training video released of some of those players not at the competition return to pre-season training yesterday. The most pleasing of all has [...]

No Rogers, no problem – but Berta needs to step up now

I missed what appeared to be quite an entertaining game yesterday, as England and France duked out a pointless Bronze Trophy game 6-4, but the headlines certainly have Arsenal interest for sure. For starters, most of the Arsenal boys got on to the pitch, with Rice, Saka, and Eze all starting. And lo and behold, [...]

If you're an Arsenal fan who engages on social media, then you'll be well aware of the good work that HandOfArsenal does in keeping us all informed of the latest developments at The Arsenal. They either currently work at the club, or they are somebody who knows a few people at the club, and the [...]

So…Who starts against Coventry?

I saw a video yesterday of Rice and Odegaard having a long conversation after the England v Norway game on Saturday evening. Seeing those two locked in a chat was interesting, and had me thinking what they might be talking about. Maybe Martin was asking Declan how sick he was? Maybe they were talking about [...]

Tzolis feels like exactly the kind of gamble Arsenal should be making

So...we have our first signing through the door for this summer. Well, 'NEW'new signing, as Hincapie was done and just needed paperwork and an official confirmation. But yes, it's Illan Meslier who becomes Arsenal's first new face through the doors at London Colney, and he said some nice things on the official site. Plenty of [...]

When £130 Million Anderson becomes the new normal it’s a worry for all others

I watched the Germany vs Ecuador game last night, whilst sipping on some white wine in the garden, getting over the melting of the day in London. To be fair, it wasn't a bad one, with Germany scoring first to add some urgency, although the goal they got really shouldn't have stood. If that isn't [...]

The only thing I want from this World Cup is Arsenal’s players back fit

Maybe it's weird and irrational, but this World Cup hasn't even started yet, and all I want to happen is for our Arsenal boys to come home. Perhaps this feeling was triggered by the Jurrien Timber news, which I spoke about yesterday, or maybe it was the news from Tommy Tuchel that Bukayo Saka is [...]

I went for a walk with The Management last night. We talked a little bit about how long this feeling of the 'good vibes' can go on for. I said a little while longer, but it does feel as though the 'party vibes' are starting to subside now. I still walked through Uxbridge yesterday and [...]
