It's a late one from me today, and probably a short one too, for I am not a well man. With about two hours worth of sleep, punctuated the whole time by needing to head to the loo, I feel like a bit of a shell of a person, so I may have to call [...]
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), [...]

Instead, I'm going to plough on with my thoughts on how this season's defence [...]
The only positive that exists about an away trip to Hull on a Monday night, is that it gives a Bank Holiday Monday the opportunity to have some excitement in its life, rather than be a day of catching up with chores and the like. That is it, because for those that are going to [...]
