It may have been news that we were already aware of, but yesterday came the confirmation that Abou Diaby was finally being released from his contract at Arsenal, and is now in the process of finding a new club. Rumours are abound that he's on the verge of signing for FC Dallas in the MLS and [...]
So yesterday, after all of the speculation, endless retelling of his impending arrival and all-round media bluster, Arsenal confirmed that Petr Cech was officially an Arsenal player. I, like you, am very pleased. I'll talk a little bit about the signing in a sec, but as I chewed the fat with a fellow Gooner in [...]
So for yours truly here after 10 days of sunshine, Sagres and late morning get-ups, it's back to work in Blighty and back to writing my daily musings at an hour in which I'd really rather be in bed. Oh well. At least I left with very little happening and will arrive today with the [...]
With all the talk of new signings and the like so far this summer, I seem to have completely forgotten about some of the existing players whose future is in the air for the opposite reasons, i.e. they'll most likely be shipped out of the club. So with Lukas Podolski admitting that his Italian adventure [...]
We're now at Day 972 (or what feels like) of the Petr Cech t Arsenal and I must say Sky Sports have played this out to the best of their ability. Maybe they're right, maybe their wrong, but their sources have run through the entire gambit of different stages of a transfer. Each time a [...]
It'd be nice to be able to talk up the fact that Ivan said yesterday in a fans Q & A that we're going to sign Player x, Player Y is in the bag and Player Z was just waiting behind a pop-up banner to appear like a Sol Campbell from nowhere, but the reality [...]
Greetings to you and yours from a sunny Portugal. It's a bit of R&R for me and the Management for the next week and a half, so apologies if the timing of blogs is a bit sporadic, because it will most likely depend on my blood/Sagres beer levels as to how quickly I can rouse [...]
Two major talking points from yesterday included the unveiling of the new kit, as well as the noise about Cech hotting up even further, with his coach Christophe Lollichon (what a name that is, eh?) saying that Petr loves Arsenal's philosophy and he is settled in London. Let's start with the new kit though, which [...]
It's the first of a two day week for me, before I disappear off into the distant and sunny shores of Portugal for ten days, so you'd hope that Arsenal could grant me a bit of news, right? Wrong. The only real talking point on the official site is Aaron Ramsey's goal of the season [...]
Happy Saturday to you and yours. Me and mine are spending it doing the square root of naff all, on account of an impending venture to the Algarve next week. There's a haircut, new house key cut and potentially a bit of back garden lawn cut, but that's about it. In Arsenal land, the only [...]
