It's funny, because I do this every season, but I forget that this time of the year is the worst when it comes to the football period. If your team isn't successful, that is, because it all feels a little barren. In about a week or two's time, the euphoria from other fans has warn off [...]
You know it's funny, I get so focus and insular on Arsenal and improvements that we make, that I forget that other teams will also be making efforts to improve their squad in the summer. I didn't watch the Brighton-Liverpool game, but I saw that Arne Slot was doing his bit to stoke the transfer [...]
I don't know about you, but I'm still basking, re-living, re-loving the game from Tuesday night. I had a work thing on yesterday afternoon and evening, so couldn't engage with any of the other Champions League games that were on last night. But I don't care. I don't want the burden of more football discolouring [...]
Arsenal confirmed yesterday what we all already knew; Andrea Berta joining us as Sporting Director having left his post at Atletico Madrid at the end of 2024. As you'd expect, the official announcement doesn't really give much intel or information on his thoughts and philosophies, but you'd expect that given that it's essentially just a [...]
Apparently we're due to be announcing Andrea Berta soon as our next Sporting Director and, I'll be honest, I don't really know much about him other than where he's been in recent years (Atletico Madrid and then before that Genoa), so I decided to have a look at our new 'main man in a suit' [...]
If Arsenal needed to bet it's house on something, you'd probably bet the exact opposite of whatever they do, right? "All on red for us" "Erm....yeah, i'll take black please..." I am, of course, referring to the news that Sami Mokbel broke yesterday about Kai Havertz, who is rumoured to have suffered a hamstring injury [...]
Morning Gooners. No other place to start - despite the fact we have a big Champions League game in around 36 hours (at the time of writing) - other than the shock news that Edu has resigned from his position as Arsenal’s Sporting Director, with what felt like a rather hastily put together announcement from [...]
Morning all - hope you're all good? I'm back from a week-and-a-half sunning myself and whilst I haven't bothered picking up the proverbial internet online quill to pen some thoughts, I've been following all the bits and bobs that have been happening in the Arsenal and football world over the last week or so. As [...]
Interesting old development that came out yesterday regarding Vinai Venkatesham leaving Arsenal in the summer of next year, eh? I don't normally concern myself with the boardroom stuff as I'm not sure that it really matters too much in terms of the immediate future on the pitch and I don't tend to think about Arsenal [...]
First and foremost - congrats to Bukayo Saka for being named the England men's player of the year for the second year running. It is an award that relates to the national team and so for me personally, I haven't paid too much attention to it, but kudos to him for picking up another award [...]
