Well, it seems like it's happening and yesterday there was yet more confirmation, that Kai Havertz will be an Arsenal player. And so my narrative and mindset has to shift from the "WHY?!?" to "Come on Kai!", as the second he dons that Arsenal shirt then I am looking at how we can get the [...]

Saka smashes, as Arsenal go foraging for some Timber

I didn't watch the England game last night because a) I was recording the Same Old Arsenal pod with the peeps, but also b) international football is cr*p. However, I did see that once again Bukayo Saka stole the show bagging himself a hattrick, man-of-the-match performance and demonstrating that we really do have a starboy [...]

Lavia links make a lotta sense

This might be a short one today, on account of the fact that there really is bugger all happening in the world of Arsenal right now. Well, I’m sure that’s not strictly true, because I’m sure Edu, Richard Garlick and the other back office staff who deal with contracts and transfers are doing something, but [...]

Arsenal won’t Mbappe, will they?

There are some very wishful thinkers in the Arsenal fanbase, that's for sure, because if anybody thinks that we're truly going even get a sniff - let alone drop a cursory star - at Kylian Mbappe this summer after the news emerged that he will not activate his additional year clause and that PSG are [...]

Sullivan shows his hand in Rice saga – but does that help or hinder Arsenal?

Morning Gooners, how we all doing? I haven't been sleeping well. Combination of stuff at work, some drinking, but also thinking about The Arsenal. On that last point I'm sure you can empathise. We're back on the Declan Rice trail today and yesterday I hadn't seen the quotes from David Sullivan in the morning, but [...]

Smith Rowe is a no-go

When David Ornstein dropped his latest Ornbomb (see below) about how Arsenal had no intention of selling Emile Smith Rowe this summer, there were a fair few members of the online community that I follow who expressed a wee bit of surprise. Positive surprise, but surprise nonetheless. He's a popular player, he's one of our [...]

Osimhen to Arsenal won’t happen

Morning folks and welcome to the last Friday of the season. My plan for this weekend is to try not to labour myself too much in thinking about 'what could have been', but Mikel Arteta will take to the press room at London Colney for the last time this season and he'll no doubt have [...]

Xhaka’s exit might be the right timing for all parties, but we will 100% miss him

If most Arsenal fans would have read that Leverkusen were buying Granit Xhaka for £13million in the summer of last year, I think a big chunk of Arsenal fans would have been absolutely fine with it. For me he's always been a talented player that I think has improved steadily under Arteta, so I'm not [...]

Sweating on Gabriel, but not on Arsenal’s summer transfer kitty

Mercifully, instead of putting myself through the inevitable torture of expecting a depleted West Ham side to show anything like the level of fight back and drive they showed against us just a few short weeks ago, I didn't watch anything of the City game last night and just saw that at the end they [...]

Giving Trossard his props

Morning folks. How we all doing? Nervous anticipation ahead of Sunday? Or like me are you just nervous? There will be a press conference today from Mikel Arteta, in which we'll get an update on player availability, with the likelihood of confirmation being that Saliba is out for the weekend. I said my bit on [...]
