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 [...]
Poor old Abou Diaby. Released by Arsenal as of the end of June, his has been a career that could have promised so much, yet because of a North Eastern based call centre yob, was smashed in to as many pieces as his ankle was after Dan Smith made his horrible tackle all those years [...]
In one of few online polls that isn't hijacked by Arsenal fans - because it's only about Arsenal players - it is perhaps the most representative result online that saw Alexis Sanchez smash all other competitors in his own team to the Player of the Season award with two thirds (66%) of the voting. Given [...]
Almost as if to underline what I said yesterday about the Cech rumours, yesterday saw a new volley of sound bites hit our desktops and mobiles, firstly with Tomas Rosicky and then with Jose Mourinho himself. Rosicky played the ultimate 'Undercover Agent' card and effectively stated that there was interest on both sides for Cech, [...]
It seems that we're in full flow on the transfer tittle-tattle-go-round, which means the happiest people to be are journalists, because they are the ones who have all of the attention. This time of year must be on their objectives or something, because the self-promoting and exposure-grabbing knows no bounds. If there's a meeting of [...]
