Now that we're getting in to 'Part one of the Prem definitely over' territory, I've started to think about this period between now and Christmas as a bit of an off-season/pre season for The Arsenal; there are players heading off for some holidays, there are some players going to a World Cup, Arteta and his [...]
Morning folks (just). Provocative title from me today, perhaps, but let me explain my workings. I do want to get to some of the things Mikel Arteta said yesterday in his press conference ahead of the Liverpool game, but before that I thought I'd share something that I was pondering this morning as I was [...]
With October and November due to be pretty intense months and the games coming thick and fast, what any team really wants from kicking off such an intense period of the season, is for games to pan out nice and stress free with maybe some decent wins and opportunities to rotate players in. At the [...]
Yesterday's result felt like yet another milestone, yet another narrative, was knocked down. On opening day it was the "tough game under the lights", after five games it was the "yeah but the teams you've played have been rubbish", but yesterday we played a good and in form team, whose fans are bullish, playing them [...]
Morning folks - hope you are all well. Before the usual match review stuff today, it is worth taking a moment to celebrate the life of Queen Elizabeth II of the UK, who died yesterday aged 96. I am certainly no royalist or major fan of the Royal Family, but she has always been a [...]

Howdy folks, y'all good? Feeling it? Enjoying life? Or are you moaning about the heat? Not me, bring more on I say. Although I do have a garden and an adult swimming pool so I do recognise I am fortunate. So too, were the selection of Arsenal fans who turned up to a pub quiz [...]
Well we have ourselves our first major summer of the signing confirmed, pictured in an Arsenal shirt, with the club making its comments and interviews completed. It's a breath of relief for us Gooners because it shows that the club are prepared to move quickly this window and hopefully this is a good sign of [...]
Happy Saturday gooners, from the sun and warmth of the Algarve, where I've decided to decamp to for a week. Now, I don't want to jinx anything, but I've got some pretty good transfer memories of being in the Algarve at the family house down the years. Remember when we signed Mertesacker and Arteta on [...]
Isn't it just classic Arsenal, eh? There I was, looking at the newly announced fixtures yesterday lunchtime, ready to go in to an in-depth and forensic analysis of the games that we've got, how it might impact the start, middle and end of our season, where the 'winning runs' might be able to be put [...]
