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 [...]

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. [...]

Less Arsenal dallying than you think?

I usually write my ramblings first thing in the morning so I can be done by the time my working day starts at 9am. So releasing the fixtures at 9am today is a real inconvenience for somebody like me, I gotta be honest with ya. Still, at least it gives me the opportunity to be [...]

Signing off the summer with an Arsenal win and some selection questions for Mikel

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 [...]

Dress rehearsal for Arsenal today against Lyon

The headline pretty much says it all about today's Emirates Cup Friendly against Lyon, as Arsenal play their final pre season game, before we face off against Neto-less Wolves next weekend (had a word or two about that yesterday). This one will be one that I'm expecting Arteta to be taking the most serious of [...]

Some big money moves at other clubs – and I’m glad we’re not sniffing a them

Happy Saturday folks - how we all doing? I'm going to start with something that I usually try to avoid - talking about The Scum - but it's only because there's little else going on and some of their fans will be getting a bit excited that they're spending £654million on Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth. [...]

What to do about Fabio Vieira?

Happy Friday peeps, how we all doing? At this point in time I really think there's nothing else I can add on the Merino stuff until he's actually in through the revolving doors at London Colney, so despite there being another 'angle' on his potential arrival (not in the Sociedad squad for a friendly yesterday), [...]

Impressive Arsenal are looking ready for the big kick off

I watched the game at The Emirates from the comfort of my own home yesterday and it was the first one I’ve been able to catch live this pre season, so I will admit to quite a degree of excitement ahead of the match against Leverkusen yesterday evening. It was the return of Granit for [...]

Looking at Leverkusen; but is anyone looking at Nketiah?

It's Bayker Leverkusen tonight for The Arsenal in a game that feels like the first 'proper' friendly match this summer, if that makes sense? What I mean by that is that Arsenal are back on home soil, it's close enough to the new season that the team should be getting back to fitness, we have [...]

Arsenal’s strong transfer bargaining position is a welcome sight

Happy Tuesday campers, we all good? Tomorrow the team line up against Leverkusen in our penultimate friendly before the season kicks off properly and it'll be the return of Xhaka who I'm sure will get a good reception. I suspect Arteta might do something today, maybe not a press conference (or maybe he will?) but [...]
