The nagging doubts on ESR remain
Still worried about Aston Villa’s continuous bidding for Emile Smith Rowe. Hopefully Arsenal get that contract signed soon.

Emile Smith….Surely….No?
Welp, the fixtures are out and the football karma gods clearly had a look at my plea for us to get a relatively serene start in terms of calibre of opposition, then kick that hope right in the nuts. That's because from 14th August until the beginning of October we have six football matches and [...]

Buendia, Neves and Bissouma: Arsenal’s decisions already being made?
Morning all, hope you are all splendid today and feeling bright as a button for this latest week of rumour, counter-rumour, rage, fear and general angst that comes with a summer Arsenal transfer window. A summer in which - like every summer window since social media turned transfers into an opportunity to shout at a [...]

Arsenal bidding for Buendia-shaped houses
So the ol' Emi Buendia rumours are hotting up and that man the AFCBell appears to once again be on the case, saying that a bid was submitted and subsequently rejected for the Argentine playmaker. There's a few ways to look at this news, if of course it is true, that is. Firstly, Arsenal are [...]

Referees old clowns network has to go
I didn't blog yesterday on account of a bit of a stinking hangover, but also I didn't really have much motivation after that disappointing performance against Aston Villa on Saturday lunchtime. I did however put the football on whilst I was cooking yesterday, so was able to see Liverpool get utterly beat up against a [...]

Arsenal have bench options, but they must contain Grealish and the counter
It's match day people! How we feeling? Excited? Nervous? Terrified? I must admit to you that I have a nervous excitement about today. The Wolves game may have repeated on me like a bit of dodgy cucumber, but that first half felt good, like it could be the start of something. New beginnings and all [...]

Arteta will make changes in his team – he has to
Morning folks and happy Saturday unto thee. I went to bed at 12am last night having taken receipt of a beer machine that allows you to put a can or bottle in a portable tap thing, then pour a draught pint, but unfortunately my body clock does not afford me a lie in these days, [...]

Cowardly Arsenal outfought by Villa
That was a disgusting performance last night from Arsenal. It was cowardly, lacked intensity and, frankly, should be worthy of some serious examination and change by the club in the cold light of day this morning. If last week it was time to hold our hands up and admit that Arteta got the approach and [...]

Arsenal need to find an answer to Villa’s low block and counter
And here we are at another match day folks. It’s a late kick off, a disgusting ‘pay-per-view’ kick off, with a return of a former player we all know and love in the shape of Emi Martinez, as we line up against Aston Villa at The Emirates tonight. We all know Emi is having the [...]

Arteta’s Premier League options – five subs or not
So we had ourselves a press conference from the boss yesterday and that included a raft of questions from the assembled press on the Zoom call. He was asked about team news and the good news appears that we haven't picked up any knocks from Thursday night, so that's good. With games coming thick and [...]
