I was in no fit state yesterday to do anything other than sit in the sun and melt a bit, so didn't pen any post Rangers thoughts and, given that it's a Monday and there isn't really any massive breaking news from yesterday, I thought i'd jot down some musings from the game that I [...]

Arteta being backed with White and Lokonga’s arrivals at The Arsenal?

So it looks like the wheels are finally turning when it comes to Arsenal's transfer business. Yesterday evening, as the weekend beckoned, we got the social media call from The Ornacle that Arsenal had agreed a deal to sign Ben White from Brighton for roughly around £50million or thereabouts. It's a heck of a lot [...]

Nearly halfway in to the transfer window – is anyone else starting to be concerned?

I didn't watch the game against Hibs on Tuesday and so didn't actually manage to catch some individual performances. So the sight yesterday of a slightly rounder Willian on the pitch, with various pictures of him looking visibly chubbier as he faced off against the Scottish team, would be utterly hilarious, if it wasn't so [...]

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. [...]

Denmark make it fun, Lacazette’s exit is intriguing, plus a sensible left back option

I think I had more fun watching Denmark smash Russia than any game I've watched at the Euro's so far. I thought the Germany v Portugal game would probably end up being one of the best, but those Danes know how to throw a party and yesterday's game had pretty much everything. Goals, delicately poised [...]

Arteta’s presser shows us a statesman

By |2020-06-16T07:58:54+01:00June 16th, 2020|Arsenal FC, Arsenal Manager, Mikel Arteta, premier league, press conference|0 Comments

Hold the phone, we have ourselves a press conference, which means football has never felt closer! And I'm giddy like a little schoolchild. So perhaps I should take some time to hold my hands up and admit that I didn't think I'd feel this excited when the lockdown and postponement was of the Premier League [...]

Luiz numbers are scary, but does Kia still want more of the Arsenal cake?

Morning all and welcome to another lockdown Monday. There's one thing I do kind of like about the working from home part of lockdown instead of being on a tube hurtling towards the city, which is that I can wear pretty much what I like, so my suits haven't seen the light of day for [...]

Torreira’s agent talking, but are we talking to Saka?

Morning folks, hope all is good with you, on this Saturday which should have been the end of the season. Except, as we all know, it is far from the end of the season. We still have another ten games to play and the Premier League met this week to work out what the next [...]

Arteta’s mini pre-season; all eyes on the return fixtures

By |2020-02-07T07:28:45+00:00February 7th, 2020|Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, Mikel Arteta, pre season, premier league, Tactics|0 Comments

This morning, I be mostly thinking about....mini pre seasons. We're in one right now. It's a winter break in which Arteta has taken the lads out to Dubai to bond, talk tactics, probably look at opponents and most likely give a little bit of a reset on what has happened over the last six weeks.
