No bankers, but Arsenal need to show we’re ready to go again against Forest

Morning kids, we all excited for match day? I know I am! Didn't go to bed until midnight and here I am at 6.30am wide awake. There's something very special about the first game of the season when it's a homer. Everything is new, hope has been renewed, the bad tastes of last season (unless [...]

Looking for every Arsenal opening day good omen…

Morning folks, happy Friday and all that jazz. How are we all doing? I know this isn't a Liverpool blog, but I'm going to start off with the Caicedo news that  Ornstein dropped in the early hours of this morning. I mean, honestly, doesn't that guy sleep? What does he do, spend a few hours [...]

Shrewd Arsenal making Raya and Patino moves

I was pretty confused when I first heard about the Raya links. I couldn't understand why we were dropping close to £30million on a guy who will not start the season and may not be able to break through if Ramsdale has a stormer this season. And why were KSE/the Arsenal board willing to drop [...]

Sorting the Tierney situation won’t be easy

Happy Wednesday Gooners. The sun looks like it might make an appearance here in London, which ideally i'd wish it'd save itself for the weekend so i can be in the Emirates with the big ball of fire smiling back at me, but you can't have everything in life I guess. And clearly that's the [...]

We need to string the Turner sale out until Friday late afternoon…

Looks as though the Matt Turner to Forest deal will be going through sooner rather than later and, with us playing them on Saturday lunchtime, it'd be weird if it happened sooner and he plays in between the sticks at the Emirates for the away team, eh? I've just had a look at the Forest [...]

A nice little cup in the sunshine for The Arsenal

Morning all - how we all doing after yesterday's late Community Shield drama, eh? I thought it was a very interesting display in the end; plenty for us to chew over and whilst it wasn't exactly a barnstorming game, it was a fascinating one that will have had all of the tacticos salivating over two teams [...]

A semi competitive game to prep us for the real stuff next week – City in the Community Shield

I'm going to let you 'in behind the curtain' a little here and level with you, these words were written yesterday (Saturday), as I knew that I would be rather hungover and probably in no mood to sit at my computer and tap away at the keyboard for 20 minutes whilst trying to prepare myself [...]

Arteta’s pre City comments; the most perfect Balogun ‘clause’ for Inter

I'll be dammed if the cat didn't decide to sit on my chest at 4am this morning and aggressively purr into my face for about 45 minutes. So I'm up at 6.20 to let the little bugger out and I thought I might as well start typing some Arsenal related waffle a little earlier than [...]

Arteta is testing a few things – post Monaco thoughts

We won the Emirates Cup! Arteta has done it again! Of course I'm being a bit flippant and, unlike Richarlison, you could see when Martin Odegaard lifted the trophy last night by the way he looked so sheepish that this is hardly the 'big prize' that we were after, but I suppose a win is [...]

Arteta’s plans remain a mystery ahead of tonight’s game against Monaco

Well it seems - if ol' Romano is to be believed, that the Raya deal edges closer. I will still maintain that I'm not sure it is the move for us; he's a good 'keeper but no better than Ramsdale in my opinion, Brentford want too much money for a guy with one year left [...]
