I think I can speak for most Arsenal fans this morning when I say: International football can get in the f*cking bin. And then that bin can be thrown in the sea. Because you - like me I am sure - will be pretty cheesed off about the Martin Odegaard injury last night. He landed [...]

Morning Gooners, how we all doing, eh? I'm on me travels again today, this time heading up to Northumberland to see The Management's family for the weekend, which is good really because it coincides with this interminable international break, so I can be fully 'present' and not distracted for a solid four hours for the [...]

Morning folks. With the intolerable international break still in swing, there is ZERO real football to talk about. Quite why, having just had an international tournament in the summer just a couple of months back, we have to send players away for a fortnight is beyond me. And to cap it all off, other players [...]

What a weird ol' transfer deadline day that was yesterday, eh? I am with a couple of friends and The Management in Portugal for our last day today and yesterday my mate Paul - who isn't in to football at all, was asking me about Transfer Deadline Day and why clubs leave it to the [...]

Been a bit sporadic on the compilation of Arsenal-related thoughts this week, on account of holiday in Portugal and also a little bit of time spent in Seville, as well as being pretty hungover almost every morning of waking up! But given it's Transfer Deadline Day today and there will also be a press conference from [...]

Happy match day folks - how we all feeling? There's obviously some transfer stuff going on with Fabio Vieira back to Porto on loan, as well as Mikel Merino spotted on his way to London, but on match day there really is only ever one focus and that's how we're going to come back from [...]

Happy Friday folks - hope you're all good. I don't know why I still get triggered by lazy journalism, but I do, falling victim to shoddy 'takes from so-called professionals not once, but twice in the last 12 hours. First it was Charlie Wyatt on Sky Sports last night, who described Mikel Merino as a [...]

Here we are folks - match day! I have to tell you, I know this feeling well from many years on this planet and many times experiencing this s well as getting to go to The Arsenal on the first day of the season, but this feels like the most excited I've been of what's [...]

Loads for me to sink my teeth in to today from an Arsenal perspective, so let's dive right in, shall we? I'm not even going to go in to detail about the new third kit rumoured to be being released today (with a nice little cameo from Vieira in a video posted last night, I [...]
