Morning Gooners, how we all doing today? How we feeling? Counting down the seconds until the first home game of the season? I know I am. Blistering heat, a home match where the atmosphere will be amazing, it'll be one heck of a day - I hope - spoiled only by a Jamie Vardy dive [...]

What was Thursday's objective has now been shifted to tonight, with it feeling like the season pretty much rests on what this young Arsenal team does tonight at St James' Park. With the Scum bundling their way over the line at home to Burnley with yet another penalty, it moves them two points clear of [...]

Mikel Arteta is about six months older than me. I'm more fair-haired than he is, so my greys don't show as easily, but there's no way that he doesn't dye his hair, I don't believe it. And as for those white teeth, well, I can spot a bleacher when I see one. Anyhoo, on to [...]
