Norgaard will complete the upgrades – but what are we able to do on top of that?

I don't really understand why battle lines need to be drawn amongst the Arsenal fanbase online, I have to say, with regards to this Sesko/Gyokeres saga. I've seen people getting really quite pissy over the fact that Sesko will most probably not be 'the guy' and that he'll probably be plying his trade elsewhere either [...]

Zubi’s in, Gyok is next?

Well now, it's all kicking off in the Arsenal universe, eh? Yesterday we got the official confirmation of Martin Zubimendi's arrival from Real Sociedad, with the first pictures of him in next season's kit, then later in the day there was talk of the striker situation finally nearing a conclusion. Thankfully. Let's start with the [...]

Madueke at Arsenal is as underwhelming as you can get

Yesterday was a day at home doing lots of jobs and chores, so unusually for me, I got plenty of time to be scrolling through my social media feeds for the latest Arsenal-related transfer news. I picked a bad day to do it. That's because all the talk yesterday was on Arsenal reaching personal terms [...]

Could Zubimendi be great for Odegaard?

If you're inclined to believe some of the noises that were emerging yesterday from some of the more well-informed ITKs, then today is Zubi Day, with the club set to announce the Spaniard as their latest signing from Real Sociedad. It makes sense, really, after they made a fairly significant announcement on the women's side [...]

July means action MUST happen now for The Arsenal

I know, I know, kind of an obvious headline for today's return to blogging from me, as I get back into the swing of it from Portugal. I boldly made the assumption based on previous years that when I come back from Portugal there'd be a shiny new signing confirmed, but sadly my good luck [...]

Arteta the right man? The clear out, refresh, build, compete and ‘win’ model

By |2025-06-20T08:35:05+01:00June 20th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, History, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

I was asked an interesting question yesterday amidst a discussion yesterday about a project I might be involved in: Is Mikel Arteta the right man to take Arsenal to the title next season? It was one of those 'agree/disagree' things; you state your case thereafter, then debate with the fellow Arsenal fans that are in [...]

Arsenal get most difficult possible start – how important is momentum?

Morning folks and welcome to Thursday. It's another glorious day in London today, so I'm bringing my work stuff into the garden and do a proper old school "shall we take our workbooks outside, kids" situation for my working day. Screw it, life is too short. I wonder if that's how Mudryk is feeling today. [...]

Merino’s versatility, Kepa’s ‘cheapness’

By |2025-06-06T09:16:27+01:00June 6th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, Attack, gooners, Gunners, internationals, midfield, Mikel Arteta|0 Comments

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 [...]

Feeling positive about this summer and next season

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 [...]

Arsenal’s rapid Zubimendi pursuit is welcome

By |2025-05-29T07:59:39+01:00May 29th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, midfield, Mikel Arteta, Transfers|0 Comments

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 [...]
