Arteta’s reliance on those already here – a dangerous game?
I decided to go for an early run this morning and as usual, put on my headphones and had a listen to an Arsenal podcast or two. There was one topic which I did find interesting during the run, which was from the lads on the Arsenal Vision podcast, in which they touched on the [...]

Arsenal’s shape and fitness is starting to show
I know pre season friendlies aren't supposed to mean anything, that you can't read too much in to them and that had we lost yesterday's 'behind closed doors' friendly at London Colney to Milwall then we'd all have shrugged and said 'move along', but I have to tell you I did enjoy watching the game [...]

Abraham the shiny new thing, but we already have other shinies….
Morning folks. Happy Saturday. Hope yours is set up to be a good one. I'm off in to London for a birthday party in a pub this evening. Mask wearing on the tube aside, it all feels very normal and that's great. I also went in to London last night. The Management bought me a [...]

Emile Smith Rowe has been given the keys to The Arsenal
Well that's another big 'tick' off the 'to do' list for Edu, Arteta and Arsenal this summer completed, after it was confirmed yesterday that Emile Smith Rowe has signed a new long term agreement to remain at Arsenal for the foreseeable future. And I don't think you'll see many disappointed Gooners with this decision this [...]

A good look at the Arsenal kids at Hibs
First pre season match underway and you'll forgive me for not really giving two sh*ts about the result, I'm sure, right? After all, the team that started yesterday's 2-1 defeat to Hibs in Edinburgh, won't be the same side that faces up against Brentford in a month's time on the first game of the Premier [...]

Signings, series’ and Saka on a Sunday
Morning folks and welcome to Sunday. We have ourselves a new signing! Ok, so we already knew all about it because of today's information age, but it's still nice when it is announced and you see the player himself in an Arsenal shirt declaring that he loves watching 'The Smith' in this current Arsenal team. [...]

Neves, White, Lokonga, ESR and Aouar – can it all be done?
Lots of ‘maybes’ going on right now. But do Arsenal have the money to get all the recent speculation on players done?

The Saliba saga continues…and it’s everyone’s fault
Yesterday morning I think it was, when I read that Saliba had withdrawn from the French Olympic team, which I thought meant he could come back to Arsenal and get a good pre season and then who knows, probably get the chance to impress and maybe even play some football for us so Arteta could [...]

More friendlies? Arteta needing to condition his players within an inch of their lives, perhaps?
I was at an anniversary meal with The Management last night, so couldn't watch the England game, but apparently Saka started, starred, got man of the match and the press are now saying he should surely be a shoe-in to start in the next round. Catch up guys, us Gooners have known Saka is mustard [...]
