Cheeky little bidding war for Xhaka, perhaps?

When it comes to selling players, there's one thing everyone loves: A BIDDING WAR! So waking up this morning to noises that Bayern - and maybe even Dortmund - have sat up and taken a bit of notice of the fact that Granit Xhaka is available, is music to mine ears, that's for sure. I'm [...]

How perfect do Arsenal need to be in the next six weeks?

I'm going to be honest with you, seeing the Financially Doped Sky Blues (FDSB) of Manchester blitz their way through Bayern Munich last night has me somewhat concerned that they are hitting a level of form that everyone expecting from the start of this season. It seems it doesn't matter whether they are playing the [...]

Upamecano decision will upset a few gooners, but just think of Saliba

By |2020-04-26T10:29:19+01:00April 26th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Defence, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta|7 Comments

If you believe the press then you will probably have been a little bit disappointed with the news emanating from Germany that Upemencano is most likely on his way to Bayern Munich when this season probably finishes. I know there are a lot of Arsenal fans - me included - who would have loved the [...]

Costa, Ibrahimovich and Alexis – how much is good news?

By |2017-06-09T08:10:13+01:00June 9th, 2017|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, Arsene Wenger, Attack, contracts, gooners, Gunners, injuries, Transfers|0 Comments

Well there's no other place to start this morning's blog, given some of the news which came out yesterday, than this: Should Arsenal just go and sign Ibrahimovich and Costa? Screw general elections, Arsenal need a striker and clearly there are some people so worried about 'the madness' of Mbappe, that they're already trying to [...]

The ageing Arsenal boxer – it’s sad

I don't really know what to say. I don't think there's anything that I can say that would either soothe my own soul when it comes to Arsenal, or offer any words of consolation or positivity to you, because I have none for myself. Arsenal Football Club looks like it's on its knees at the [...]

The copy/paste blog from the last few seasons?

By |2017-05-19T19:51:08+01:00March 7th, 2017|Arsenal FC, Attack, Champions League, Defence, gooners, Gunners, Match Preview|0 Comments

I don't really know where to begin today. This is the first time where I've had a pre-match blog and can't really think of anything remotely useful to say. Half of me thought about finding my pre match blog from the season before last, or the one before that, and doing a 'copy/paste' job. But [...]

Abject Arsenal players are a disgrace to the shirt

I am appalled. I am appalled at the travesty of a performance that we witnessed yesterday. In Championship Manager they used to have a saying which involved describing you team as 'running out of superlatives to describe'. What is the exact opposite of that? What is the antithesis of running out of nice things to [...]

Get the variables right against Bayern; and use pace to win on the counter

By |2017-05-19T19:51:11+01:00February 15th, 2017|Arsenal FC, Attack, Champions League, Defence, History, Match Preview, Tactics|1 Comment

So here we are. Bayern Munich away. Like last season. And the season before. Etc, etc, repeat to fade.  I'd be more excited if we were playing a team with which we had a terrible record with, but haven't played for a while, if I'm honest with you. I'm just struggling to get too 'count [...]
