It's another friendly match day today for The Arsenal and I'm intrigued to see how we line up tonight against Villareal. Will we see a pretty much first team rock up against the Spanish side? Or will it be a blended side from the start like in the Asian tour? equally, will we have a [...]
Morning folks and let me bestow unto thee a most happy of Tuesday's. The sun is out in London, The Arsenal are back in the country and a new kit dropped to keep those merch-starved fans sated for at least another week until the next training kit is launched at some stage in August no [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Monday. I had family over and coupled that with a bit of a two-day hangover, so didn't blog this weekend, but thankfully not a lot really happened in the Arsenal world, as the players headed back to the UK and today they kick off the proper pre season prep ahead [...]
It's a weird match day of sorts, because technically it's a North London Derby day but in reality, this has none of the usual jeopardy that comes with that most wretched of fixtures. So I don't really know how I feel about it. It's because of that lack of jeopardy that I am trying to [...]
Do you know what I love? A good ol' fashioned story about how shirt sales have paid for a transfer. Nothing beats it. It reminds me of the early 2ks when you hear stories like how Beckham's fee that Real Madrid paid to United was paid for overnight. It does make me chuckle. So when [...]
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, [...]
I'll get into the Arsenal men's teams' second win of pre season after a somewhat feisty encounter in Singapore against Newcastle yesterday lunchtime UK time, but before all of that, let's have a word or two to say about the fabulous England Lionesses, who retained the Euro trophy on penalties by defeating Spain in the [...]
So we’re on the move with Big Vik it seems, as yesterday both Ornstein and Romano confirmed that the deal was fully agreed and the player could travel to London for his medical. That will likely happen today, then I suspect - all being well - he’ll do his pictures and other video work, interviews, [...]
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. [...]
Arsenal kicked off their pre season yesterday with a 1-0 win over Milan and sure as eggs is eggs, it was Bukayo Saka who was the difference maker. Annoyingly I wasn't able to watch the game in full because I was at work, but even if I'd have been off, there's zero chance I'm paying [...]
