The Chilean hath spoken and yesterday afternoon we were given insight from Alexis as to what he wants. He wants Champions League football and it's always been his dream to win it.

Last night I think I ate too much food. It's 10am and in have absolutely no desire for consumption of anything whatsoever. I don't like it, because I love my food you know. But clearly my gorging has caused my belly to be full and not require any additional sustenance. Yet. Why am I telling [...]

Yep, Alexandre Lacazette is finally a Gooner, with the first major signing of the season complete and I don't know about you but I am happy and relieved that we've moved so quickly to do this. No mess, no fuss, no [...]

Hello friends, I hope this day finds you well, certainly in the South East of England it should given the lovely sunshine I've woken up to.  But we all know that we're not here for my weather-related chit-chat, as delightful and rivoting as it is, so instead let's talk Arsenal. Or more specifically, let's talk [...]

Friday's Lacazette excitement has been replaced with Sunday's Ox disappointment, as there are reports coming out today that the midfielder has snubbed his latest contract offer because he wants more game time centrally, something Liverpool can supposedly offer. This is one of the most 'will he/won't he' situations I have ever seen at Arsenal I [...]

Lyon Chairman’s openness is useful for fans but not for Arsenal

Still quiet. Still not a lot happening in the Arsenalverse. Still waiting. Well, I say it's 'still quiet', but that is to say it's quiet for everyone else except the Lyon president Aulas. That man likes a soundbite doesn't he? Over the weekend he was declaring that Arsenal would have to pay close to what [...]

Another day and another Kylian Mbappe story, as each journalist desperately tries to re-hash the same transfer, but with a new spin on it. We've had the initial interest, the 'Wenger in France', the Real Madrid intrigue, the 'family member talks' and now we're at what is usually the final stages, which is the 'increasingly [...]
