This time next week fellow Gooners, it'll be countdown to Premier League match weekend one and we'll be but a few days away from finding out just how ready Unai Emery's charges are for the slog ahead. The summer has been kind to us so far. We've done business early, the players have had plenty [...]
A victory on penalties is still a victory, albeit a friendly victory and one in which I certainly think we can learn a bit from, get a bit excited about, but also be a little apprehensive. Let's get the painful stuff out of the way first though. Like ripping off the plaster on your knee [...]
I think this'll be an interesting game this evening against Chelski. Yes it's a pre season friendly. Yes it means little in the grand scheme of things. And yes the players are still adapting to life under Emery. But this will be a good opportunity for us to see what sort of side is taking [...]
Because we haven't had a new manager in so many years prior to this summer, we haven't seen the usual "this manager is working us soooo much more harder than the last one" type comments from footballers at Arsenal, so yesterday's comments from Bellerin are welcome but I personally take it with a pinch of [...]
Happy Friday Gooners. We have a match to digest! Whoop! Been a long time coming, eh? Too long it feels. The World Cup was good, but it was kind of like having a Quorn chilli-con-carne. It's nice, you can spice it up to remove the fact it's not mince but ultimately, it's not mince. So [...]
It's hotter than hell in the UK today. But you'll nee find me complaining that's for sure. I don't care that I have to squeeze myself into a suit for work because this type of summer feels like it comes along once in a lifetime and so I'm just embracing it. Much like Aaron Ramsey [...]
The rumours coming out on social platforms yesterday was that Arsenal had another friendly yesterday against Brentford, supposedly losing 2-1 with Auba scoring for us and Leno dropping a corner, which of course has caused widespread panic amongst some Arsenal fans that we've signed a dud. One of the things I used to love about [...]
With this weird period of time in the middle of pre season that we find ourselves in, it feels very strange to not be looking at a friendly or something going on at The Arsenal this weekend. It's a bit of a 'lull within a lull' for us. There aren't any games played until the [...]
Morning all and welcome to another pre season weekday, with the main story on everyone's lips being the French victory against Croatia yesterday in which Olivier Giroud got his hands on the World Cup, and as a collective it seems most Arsenal fans couldn't be happier for him. He's had one heck of a journey [...]
Morning all! A bright one in London, which is becoming an awesome habit that Mother Nature is getting in to. I could certainly get used to a life like this if it happened every year. I could handle the rain, the grey, the cold and sleet, if it meant we get a few months of [...]
