We have some actual football to chew over and, I tell you what, there were some great finishes yesterday as Arsenal beat Girona 4-1. I liked Dowman's performance, who assisted for Kai's smart finish, then also bagged a good effort from the edge of the box. For all the talk of new signings, yesterday was [...]
It's the weekend, so we all need a little excitement for it, right? Yes, there's a game on today as Arsenal take on Girona, but you and I both know that isn't the first thing that popped into your mind - was it? Step forward our guy HandOfArsenal: 🚨 EXCL : Arsenal Football Club have [...]
Do you know what's nicee? Seeing pictures of players in pre-season training. And important players too. Until you see them, you have a question mark over whether they are still on holiday, what their fitness is like, etc. But yesterday Arsenal released some training pics, and there was Big Gabi, huge grinning teeth, as the [...]
It's a little weird to start off today's blog with a story about another club, but with the news breaking as I've started to type about Eddie Howe leaving Newcastle, it's hard not to put two and two together. Sky Sports are talking about this at the moment in the background as I'm typing and [...]
Morning all. So, here we are again. Nothing. There's no Bruno Guimaraes news – no bid, no "talks progressing", not even a lazily-sourced "Arsenal are monitoring the situation" to chew on over a coffee. And then yesterday Sky went and confirmed the thing a few of us had already quietly braced ourselves for: Vinicius Junior [...]
Yeah, I'd like us to have some news about a signing at The Arsenal, but it could be worse, right? We could be trying a pre covid 'get the band back together' veterans tour like Chelsea are doing, eh? All jokes aside, whilst I have no problem with them bringing in elder statesmen like Henderson, [...]
So, after a summer in which Liverpool thought they were signing Diomande, then PSG, Real Madrid are the one's pulling the trigger, which will be an 'all-in' fee of around £100million when the bonuses are factored in (€120million). As I mentioned yesterday, that means Madrid now have: Mbappe Vinicius Junior Rodrygo Endrick Diomande Brahim Dias [...]
So...Vini Junior, eh? Did you see that coming? I certainly didn't, but Messrs Ornstein and McNicholas dropped an Athletic Bomba on our social media feeds, and yesterday was spent with Arsenal fans recalibrating their 'dream starting XI' for next season, with the Brazilian superstar firmly placed in it on that left wing. It's exciting, isn't [...]
It's Saturday The Arsenal have still not kicked off matches yet, so my hope is that they are using the time effectively to "Spend some faaaakin' money!". A bit of a blast-from-the-past phrase to bust out, I know, but you'd hope Andrea Berta is somewhere doing something to augment the squad soon. Tzolis was a [...]
So we have our first adrenaline shot of transfer morphine, as Christos Tzolis signs for The Arsenal to replace the departing 'Mr Clutch' Leo Trossard. It's a good move. It's a sensible move. Only time will tell if it's an upgrade, but at £34million - and it still feels crazy to say this - it's [...]
