It's the weekend, so we all need a little excitement for it, right? Yes, there's a game on today as Arsenal take on Girona, but you and I both know that isn't the first thing that popped into your mind - was it? Step forward our guy HandOfArsenal: 🚨 EXCL : Arsenal Football Club have [...]

Do you know what's nicee? Seeing pictures of players in pre-season training. And important players too. Until you see them, you have a question mark over whether they are still on holiday, what their fitness is like, etc. But yesterday Arsenal released some training pics, and there was Big Gabi, huge grinning teeth, as the [...]

No transfer news – so let’s talk about the season we waited 22 years for

Morning all. So, here we are again. Nothing. There's no Bruno Guimaraes news – no bid, no "talks progressing", not even a lazily-sourced "Arsenal are monitoring the situation" to chew on over a coffee. And then yesterday Sky went and confirmed the thing a few of us had already quietly braced ourselves for: Vinicius Junior [...]

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, [...]

Morgan Rogers – the cost is important, but so is where he plays

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 [...]
