Yesterday morning I think it was, when I read that Saliba had withdrawn from the French Olympic team, which I thought meant he could come back to Arsenal and get a good pre season and then who knows, probably get the chance to impress and maybe even play some football for us so Arteta could [...]
After the trauma of Saturday evening and what happened to Christian Eriksen, yesterday was back to football and dare I say it, it was actually a lot of fun to watch the matches I watched. I sat down just after lunch in my back garden and watched an England team that, for a change, didn't [...]
I don't really know who Albert Sambi Lokonga is, I have never watched a single minute of him play football, but I already know that he is the answer to our central midfield problems right now. With Granit Xhaka on his way out of Arsenal imminently, there is a pressing need for us to go [...]
Morning folks. I don't normally make a habit of signposting people in a different direction to another part of the internet at the beginning of my usual daily ramblings, but I was particularly impressed with this week's Arsecast, in which Andrew and James had a chat about transfers, what's on the horizon (or not as [...]
So it appears that we are now in full swing for transfer nonsense time, with today's instalment including our Swiss centre midfielder who really does seem to divide opinions.

Phew. That was a relief to see that Man City are still in control when it comes to the Man City Cup, the cup which essentially proves that if you have enough money you can build a squad to rotate that is better than other squads. But the most important thing at all was that [...]
Morning folks. Hope you're all good where you are? For me it's back to work and whilst the scenery doesn't change much - desk jockey working from home for the foreseeable future - the lack of booze and late get ups does, so I'm a wee bit groggy this morning, I must confess. Perhaps that's [...]
The volume of games might be coming thick and fast, but so too appear the rumours of who we might be after when the window opens in four days time. Do we all have the energy for it though? In the last few months a lot of the joy was sucked out of my football [...]
