With two week's to go until the season kicks off properly, it feels like the countdown to the season opener against Wolves is officially 'on now'. Not just because of the short amount of time left in pre season, but because we've also been treated to pictures of Saka, Saliba, Ramsdale and Rice all returning [...]
We knew the day would come, we've been speaking about it for a while, but yesterday it was confirmed that Emile Smith Rowe, ESR, 'The Smith', left Arsenal signed for Fulham on a permanent transfer. I don't think I've seen such a universal sadness from Arsenal fans for a player who had essentially become a [...]
So the last game in the US ended with a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool and I have to say when I saw Liverpool's first goal, I had to do a bit of a double take, because the commentator said 'Salah' but there was no trademark big curly hair racing through. Is this the latest 'marginal [...]
I went for my run this morning, listened to an Arsenal podcast as I always do, digesting what's going on in the Arsenal world ahead of the latest game in the early hours of the morning in Philadelphia. These pre season games are useful as fitness exercises, as opportunities for fans from overseas to get [...]
So, we have ourselves another Italian, as Riccardo Calafiori was officially announced by the club as our second major first team means signing of the summer, arriving from Bologna. It’s a good deal, it seems a fair price, Arteta has his man and we have ourselves another left back to add to our stockpile. We’ve [...]
Happy Monday folks, we all good? It'll no doubt be a Riccardo Calafiori-infused week for us ahead of the Liverpool game and I'm sure that no sooner have I hit 'publish on today's ramblings, that they club will have announced his arrival. I guess it doesn't matter too much; we've said all there is to [...]
That's the second pre season game of the season done in the early hours of the morning my time and it was a 2-1 win for our lads against Erik "I AM FURIOUS ABOUT ARSENAL AND OFFSIDES" Ten Haag's Man United. You love to see it. He was apparently unhappy about our equaliser, which game [...]
Happy Friday folks. For me it's a Friday in which I am slightly worse for wear, on account of going to Wembley Stadium to see The Boss (not Mikel) bust out his tunes, so naturally I had a few beers whilst listening to Bruce Springsteen. I gotta tell you, felt a little weird being in [...]
As somebody who didn't stay up until 3.30am this morning to watch the Arsenal versus Bournemouth friendly game that went on in the early hours of the morning (UK time), it's very difficult for me to make a proper assessment. I'll level with you; I haven't even seen the two goals scored in the 1-1 [...]
The sloth edges ever closer to his tree, the perfect spot for his resting place... That's what it feels like with this Calafiori deal, eh? Last night another couple of journalists dropping the "here we go!" soundbites, in an eagerness to be the 'first past the post' in declaring a transfer confirmed. At this stage [...]
