They're in Australia, they're posing for pictures and soon they'll be running out on to the turf for the first game of the summer, which means that yep, pre season is well and truly underway. Which means the new season is officially on countdown. Lacazette has been pictured training and Arsène has confirmed that he [...]

The Arsenal squad are in Australia and it didn't take long for the plane to touch down on Ozzie soil before the manager was asked about Alexis. In his first public speaking engagement, he was wheeled out in front of the usual assembled pack, to talk about the upcoming tour and also some of the [...]

Fixtures force Arsenal’s squad depth

The fixture lists may have been distributed out to the public over a month ago, but as one mate put it on a WhatsApp group I'm on, they weren't the 'real' fixtures, because the TV companies hadn't got their grubby mits on them. Well now they have. And it's a Friday night start to the [...]

The Ox: the most confusing contract situation ever

By |2017-07-02T09:54:35+01:00July 2nd, 2017|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, contracts, gooners, Gunners, midfield, pre season, Transfers|0 Comments

Friday's Lacazette excitement has been replaced with Sunday's Ox disappointment, as there are reports coming out today that the midfielder has snubbed his latest contract offer because he wants more game time centrally, something Liverpool can supposedly offer. This is one of the most 'will he/won't he' situations I have ever seen at Arsenal I [...]

Lyon Chairman’s openness is useful for fans but not for Arsenal

Still quiet. Still not a lot happening in the Arsenalverse. Still waiting. Well, I say it's 'still quiet', but that is to say it's quiet for everyone else except the Lyon president Aulas. That man likes a soundbite doesn't he? Over the weekend he was declaring that Arsenal would have to pay close to what [...]

Mbappe deal makes me think of Bergkamp and Sol

Another day and another Kylian Mbappe story, as each journalist desperately tries to re-hash the same transfer, but with a new spin on it. We've had the initial interest, the 'Wenger in France', the Real Madrid intrigue, the 'family member talks' and now we're at what is usually the final stages, which is the 'increasingly [...]

It’s hot and quiet but at least Giroud stays

It's a hot one today. Some say the hottest in the south east since 1976 which, if you weren't alive to experience it, is all older people like your parents talk about whenever you talk about whether or not we'll have a decent summer in this country. Ahh well, you see whatever they say about [...]

Ox makes England 7% more interesting

"Well? How many Arsenal players are the England team?" The Management said to me yesterday.  "None at the moment. Full of dirty Spurs players. That's why I'm only half watching this sh*tshow" I said at half time. Of course much like the second half and the late flurry of goals, it got much more interesting, [...]

Can Arsenal still finish in the top four and win the FA Cup?

In short, I don’t believe so, not both anyway. Given the way this season has gone it would be highly unlikely and yet, the fact that it is still even conceivable that it could happen is really quite amazing if you think about it. At times this season Arsenal have looked rudderless. We’ve lurched from [...]

The horrible permutations of today’s game; the expectation of tomorrow’s

Happy Saturday Gooners. It's FA Cup weekend but as seems to be par for the course these days, we don't play until Sunday. I suppose we'd better get used to it because next season unless something drastic happens in the Premier League, we'll be seeing a lot less Saturday football and a lot more Sunday [...]
