"You want a striker?" Yes. "You want a striker?" Yes. "YOU WANT A STRIKER?" YES! "FINE! Here's a striker. Now get out of my office!" That's what I imagined Arsène's response to be to those people who are practically gnawing their arms off with the fact we haven't signed a striker yet, after it was [...]
Did you ever get told by your mum to ignore the chants of other boys/girls? To brush away callous name-calling with a simple rendition of "sticks and stones"? And did you find it really difficult to understand why your mother didn't tell you to open up a can of whoopass on the individual in question? [...]
Mattieu Flamini to Galatasaray and Wojciech Szczesny to Roma on a one year deal, it seems, if the rumours across multiple newspapers and on radio shows are to be believed. Firstly the Flamster who, if we're all honest, probably knew his time was up at the club. The fact we're picking up a fee for [...]
Honestly. I love our fanbase for the variety and volume of Arsenal fan that there is, but sometimes we all need to take a deep breath and chill the eff out, because life truly is too short. Yesterday one of the Arsenal lads in my office called out from his desk that Schneiderlin had finally [...]
A combination of a heavy night's drinking on Thursday, coupled with centre court tickets to Wimbledon on Friday, conspired to prohibit me from blogging yesterday. But in true 'they're all agin me!' style, the fates decided that they should release some interesting quotes from players and some good pictures for me to look at on [...]

Howdy there and happy Friday to you. It's the end of a working week for some and a holiday week for others, but we're still waiting on a signing that might or might not happy and whom I'm pledging not to talk about until it does, even though I kind of already have in this [...]
Day (what feels like) 72 in the Big Petr Cech House and, much like the social experiment TV programme that nobody bothers watching any more because everyone's realised that the inhabitants do absolutely nothing at all, there's nothing going on in the Petr Cech Saga. No new spins. No fresh angles. Just a quick article [...]
A Quick mosey around the online football world and what do you know? More 'angles' on the Cech deal. Surely it's all reaching its inevitable conclusion now, right? I mean we've had the discussions between the clubs over a fee already poured over to the nth degree, the wages have been laid out bare for [...]
Has there ever been a more comfortable and one-sided final? Have we ever seen Arsenal do it the easy away in a big game, with such verve and vigour? Does this happen to us? Arsenal are supposed to make our lives difficult, aren't they? Apparently not. Apparently there is an 'easy way' and all we [...]
