Arsenal are like my three-year-old-niece

Welcome to Tuesday y'all. We're now officially on a one week countdown before the transfer window has slammed shut and unsurprisingly, there is no news, which isn't at all like the saying. It's not really good at all. Of course we have to reserve judgement until the window has closed, but based on the data [...]

No identity, no points, very Arsenal

So. Right. Erm, where does one start after yet another opening day defeat? I genuinely have no idea. Gotta start somewhere though, right?  Perhaps this blog today will be as disjointed as the team felt yesterday in a pretty abject performance. Well, when you concede four at home you have to say it's abject, don't [...]

Happy without Higuain? Why there are still plenty of options for Arsenal

So we missed out on Gonzalo Higuain, again. Nobody can really say that they were surprised though can they? Arsène Wenger is more comparable to a tight Yorkshireman than to a man overseeing one of the elite clubs in Europe, with unwillingness to fork out large sums. To splash over £70 million on a single player [...]

Hurry up Arsenal, I’m bored of this preamble

It's funny how everybody seems to lose their sh*t when a big transfer happens to a rival, especially when we've seemingly been innocently looking to the sky and whistling so as to not attract much attention to ourselves, isn't it? And when I say 'funny', what I actually mean is 'maddeningly hysterical, because that's how [...]

Victory and good performances overshadowed by Arsène’s comments

I find it a little sad that despite an absolutely thumping victory - albeit against a poor Norweigen side in Viking FK - most of the talk after the game and today amongst Arsenal fans, is the post match comments about signings that he made. Certainly if you read just the written word about what [...]

Draxler and Mahrez; feed us, Arsenal

When you've had your dinner really early, like 5.30pm or 6pm, then you get to 9 O'Clock and you start to feel hungry again. That's how I'd describe the Arsenal fanbase right now in relation to transfers and how we feel about the squad. In June, before the Euro's started, we secured what is looking [...]

Per’s despair opens the door for Calum

Well it wouldn't be a pre season with Arsenal if there wasn't already some sort of rumoured injury crisis, would it?  Yesterday the news emerged that Mertesacker may - or may not - be out for five months after the injury he sustained against Lens last week (which ruled him out of the US tour), [...]

Judgement in May/September – The ever cyclical nature of Arsenal

Hello there friend. I hope you can bear with me today, lest I become ever-so-slightly ranty. I hope not to be too ranty though. Last night I read an article from the always erudite Adrian Clarke, who talked about how some people are getting a little bit knicker-twisty in relation to the activity that has [...]

Crazy times, crazy fees, crazy surprises from Wenger?

These are strange and dangerous times, people, strange and dangerous times. In the wider world outside football there is much conflict, with countries declaring states of emergency, as well as the bigots using 'Brexit' as a means to peddle their own racist views with what seems like impunity. Plus, Sam Allardyce is about to be [...]
