Before the weekend is upon us, the club will be on their way to Asia for the appropriately named 'Asia Trophy', in which they'll play a Singapore Select XI to decide who should have the honour of facing off against one of Everton or Stoke. I heard that they tried to call the Trophy the 'Non-England based, late at [...]
So it appears Matthieu Flamini might be the man to exit the Arsenal squad this summer then, after rumours across multiple websites appeared about the apparent interest from Bastia. Isn't that where Squillaci was packed off to, with the club waving any fee, because Bastia played the poverty card? Perhaps they are the Broadstairs of [...]
Monday came and went with players returning to training and, unlike in places like Southampton where the odd chap doesn't show for his first day back with his current club, everyone at Arsenal came back who was supposed to come back. No Szczesny stuck in a wishing well, no Wilshere falling in to the Grand [...]
Eugh. Full of cough/cold and relatively little sleep, coupled with the fact there's bugger all happening in the Arsenal world, means this is one heck of a crud-diddly-udd way to start the working week. The only saving grace of positivity for today was that a new family member entered the world last night in the [...]
Alexis Sanchez will be a happy boy today, after chipping the winning penalty to see Chile win the Copa America, so after a season of somewhat success at Arsenal just gone (and I say 'somewhat' not because of his personal success, or the teams, but I get the feeling the squad are all happy with [...]

But, what is more bloody typical is that having already made my plans to unfortunately offload my tickets to a couple of games, I find myself [...]
London black cabs everywhere will be a little less cheery in their disposition this morning, after Lukas Podolski's agent confirmed that he'll be making the switch to Turkish football to play for Galatasaray this summer. I think we all knew it was coming, but the fact that Poldi's agent said that they had a long [...]
It may have been news that we were already aware of, but yesterday came the confirmation that Abou Diaby was finally being released from his contract at Arsenal, and is now in the process of finding a new club. Rumours are abound that he's on the verge of signing for FC Dallas in the MLS and [...]
You can tell this is the calm after the transfer storm that was Monday, because there ain't a lot going on right now, friend. I mean, when one of The Evening Standard's main Arsenal stories that I had a look on News Now this morning is one in which Petr Cech's day of signing is video [...]
So yesterday, after all of the speculation, endless retelling of his impending arrival and all-round media bluster, Arsenal confirmed that Petr Cech was officially an Arsenal player. I, like you, am very pleased. I'll talk a little bit about the signing in a sec, but as I chewed the fat with a fellow Gooner in [...]
