First things first, I have to say, I'm not 100% happy about the fact that Granit Xhaka is returning to the Premier League for Sunderland. The first thing that popped into my head was 'why?' when I heard the rumour. He won the league with Leverkusen, he was a regular in their team last season, [...]
We finally got the announcement on Christian Mosquera yesterday and as usual it was accompanied by a pretty swish intro video that had all the hallmarks of the Arsenal social media team. Nicely put together, he said the right things and by all accounts this looks and feels like a very good an sensible signing. [...]
It's a new week, the lads are in Singapore, Mikel Arteta has had a press conference and by all accounts, he seemed in good spirits. He talked about a whole manner of things - not Gyokeres by name though - and given what he said and the way he said it, it's clear that we [...]
I didn't watch the Champions League final last night. I'm in Yorkshire with some of The Management's family over from New Zealand and we're doing a little bit of a holiday and, frankly, I didn't want to spoil it by watching a game that I feel we could/should have been in. Give me an Arsenal [...]
It's funny, because I do this every season, but I forget that this time of the year is the worst when it comes to the football period. If your team isn't successful, that is, because it all feels a little barren. In about a week or two's time, the euphoria from other fans has warn off [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Arsenal confirmed yesterday what we all already knew; Andrea Berta joining us as Sporting Director having left his post at Atletico Madrid at the end of 2024. As you'd expect, the official announcement doesn't really give much intel or information on his thoughts and philosophies, but you'd expect that given that it's essentially just a [...]
Apparently we're due to be announcing Andrea Berta soon as our next Sporting Director and, I'll be honest, I don't really know much about him other than where he's been in recent years (Atletico Madrid and then before that Genoa), so I decided to have a look at our new 'main man in a suit' [...]
