This time of the year is always a bit funny, I find, because people lose their minds over stuff that hasn't even happened yet. But what is worse is when people lose their minds over what others are doing. I get it to a point though. Until something concrete happens with your own team, you [...]
It's a new week, the football is now all officially over for last season after the Champions League on Saturday night (I don't consider the Club World Cup as football - it's a FIFA money-spinning exercise) and the transfer window officially opened yesterday. It's open only for the clubs who are part of the national [...]
Yesterday The Arsenal Women had a trophy lift session at The Emirates and I have to say, it was some really positive #content for us to watch and re-watch, after a difficult season for the Men's team. And if you think about it, it has also been difficult for the women too; they didn't start [...]
Only one place to start today, which is with The Arsenal Women, who did what I think most of us would agree was the unthinkable, by sinking Barcelona Femini. That Barca team tend to down anyone they come across, so to completely shut them out and then see the final stages over the line after [...]
I basically refuse to acknowledge there is any football going on from now until August 16th when the new Premier League season kicks off. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero. It's all about the transfer window and ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE. The press is full of talk of strikers and if Arsenal value anything of the health of its [...]
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 [...]
That wasn't the most fun afternoon watching of football that we had yesterday, but the requirement was to get the job done and, by the time the full time whistle had gone after that silly VAR check, ultimately that was what happened. A 1-0 win against a decent Newcastle side who will most likely be [...]
I thought we saw a relatively relaxed Mikel Arteta at his press conference yesterday. I wonder if it was the sun, the fact that he was starting to get over recent disappointments, the tone of the questioning, or maybe it was that he got to deliver good news to the media on Kai Havertz. Naturally [...]
It's the penultimate press conference of the season today and I'll bet Mikel Arteta can't wait to be shot of them at this stage. It'll be more of the same as he's had in the last few weeks and I suspect he'll have to go on the defensive a bit for the form. Other than [...]
Arsenal held an open training day session yesterday at The Emirates, where the players took to the field and went through some pretty basic numbers, whilst also doing a few autograph signings, etc. That in itself is nothing ground-breaking or new, but the fact that Leo Trossard, Declan Rice and Kai Havertz all made it [...]
