Happy hump day people. The only down side to this particular one, is there is an intolerable international break that is getting in the way, with Arsenal not due again out on the green stuff until the Saturday after this one against Forest. I'm still trying to process the summer transfer window though. I'm focusing [...]
Well that's it then. The summer of plenty for The Arsenal ended last night with the capture of Piero Hincapie and the exits of Jakub Kiwior to Porto, Reiss Nelson to Brentford, Sambi Lokonga to Hamburg for around £10million, Fabio Vieira on loan to Hamburg and Olekzandr Zinchenko to Forest right at the death. Let's [...]
The overriding feeling I have this morning is one of frustration. Frustration that we didn't remove the hoodoo of not winning at Anfield. Frustration that we didn't make a solid first half a great second. Frustration at the injuries. Frustration at a prevailing media narrative that 'Arsenal got what they deserved', like we didn't cancel [...]
Happy Hincapie Saturday folks! Although Arteta was tight-lipped on that arrival, the Ornbomb has already dropped and it appears we're loan-optioning him for the season and clearly we'll drop the actual cash on Leverkusen's lap in the summer of 2026, which makes sense given that we probably don't have the cash lying around to make [...]
It's the tie we all dreamed of, let's be honest: PortVale away in the third round of the League Cup at Vale Park. In all seriousness though, this is quite a nicetie for all involved. I couldn't remember the last time we went there, I had a feeling it was about 20 years ago and [...]
With it being Wednesday and still a good four days until the game against Liverpool, I've still been drinking in some of the Eze stuff, whilst also watching the odd tactical review of the game against Leeds. I said before that game that I thought it was difficult to know what Leeds team would turn [...]
I thought about watching the Newcastle v Liverpool game, but ended up doing a BBQ instead and when we'd finished eating, I flicked on the TV to see Liverpool two-goals up and Newcastle down to ten men so I said to myself "no chance I'm watching the rest of that game" and switched it off [...]
I spent the day out yesterday having a walk with the Management. We went to the pub for lunch and she kept saying "why do you keep looking at your phone? What are you watching?" "Videos of the Eze signing" **Wife rolls eyes** It was good content to absorb yesterday and with the bank holiday [...]
Yesterday was so very nearly the perfect footballing day. An arrival of a new signing and boyhood fan before the game, a thumping of a newly promoted side with the goals shared, your star striker off the mark, plus a debut for the 15-year-old wonderkid. Yep, yesterday could have had it all. Unfortunately for us [...]
It's match day folks and I've woken up with a bloody trapped nerve at the base of my spine. I hope it isn't a life metaphor for what we'll have to go through today, because it's bloody painful. Hopefully with some exercises and a bit of moving around it'll get freed up a bit. And [...]
