Some big money moves at other clubs – and I’m glad we’re not sniffing a them

Happy Saturday folks - how we all doing? I'm going to start with something that I usually try to avoid - talking about The Scum - but it's only because there's little else going on and some of their fans will be getting a bit excited that they're spending £654million on Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth. [...]

Happy Tuesday campers, we all good? Tomorrow the team line up against Leverkusen in our penultimate friendly before the season kicks off properly and it'll be the return of Xhaka who I'm sure will get a good reception. I suspect Arteta might do something today, maybe not a press conference (or maybe he will?) but [...]

Arsenal see off pre season tour with defeat; Arteta seems fine with it

So the last game in the US ended with a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool and I have to say when I saw Liverpool's first goal, I had to do a bit of a double take, because the commentator said 'Salah' but there was no trademark big curly hair racing through. Is this the latest 'marginal [...]

Happy Monday folks, we all good? It'll no doubt be a Riccardo Calafiori-infused week for us ahead of the Liverpool game and I'm sure that no sooner have I hit 'publish on today's ramblings, that they club will have announced his arrival. I guess it doesn't matter too much; we've said all there is to [...]

Arteta all but confirms ESR’s exit, but does it lead to some amortisation goodness?

Happy Friday folks. For me it's a Friday in which I am slightly worse for wear, on account of going to Wembley Stadium to see The Boss (not Mikel) bust out his tunes, so naturally I had a few beers whilst listening to Bruce Springsteen. I gotta tell you, felt a little weird being in [...]

As  somebody who didn't stay up until 3.30am this morning to watch the Arsenal versus Bournemouth friendly game that went on in the early hours of the morning (UK time), it's very difficult for me to make a proper assessment. I'll level with you; I haven't even seen the two goals scored in the 1-1 [...]

I watched both the quarter finals yesterday and with my feet firmly planted in the "I have German family" camp, I decided to get behind Der Mannschaft and cheer them on against Spain. My English blood has cursed my German family. They played decent enough, but as my cousin Dave said (he also taps in to [...]
