Happy Friday peeps, how we all doing? At this point in time I really think there's nothing else I can add on the Merino stuff until he's actually in through the revolving doors at London Colney, so despite there being another 'angle' on his potential arrival (not in the Sociedad squad for a friendly yesterday), [...]

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 [...]

Why is this pre season more important than others for The Arsenal?

I went for my run this morning, listened to an Arsenal podcast as I always do, digesting what's going on in the Arsenal world ahead of the latest game in the early hours of the morning in Philadelphia. These pre season games are useful as fitness exercises, as opportunities for fans from overseas to get [...]

Calafiori might spell Kiwior’s exit, but Arsenal don’t have to be forced into being lowballed…

The sloth edges ever closer to his tree, the perfect spot for his resting place... That's what it feels like with this Calafiori deal, eh? Last night another couple of journalists dropping the "here we go!" soundbites, in an eagerness to be the 'first past the post' in declaring a transfer confirmed. At this stage [...]

It feels like the Arsenal wheels are turning – the excitement starts to build here

So the wheels seem to be in motion. Well, they've been in motion for a while on the players who are on the verge of exits - Sambi and Nuno - but this will be another sale by the club and I guess ultimately it all adds up. Sambi is off on a loan which [...]

The ‘no mans land’ part of the football calendar

Ahh man, there really is bugger all on today from a football perspective, that's for sure, with the Euro's final not on until Sunday, The Arsenal not on for a few weeks on from that, plus the only real transfer news going on is stuff we've already been privy too, like Lokonga, Calafiore and Tavares. [...]

Morning folks, we all good? Well, as good as we can be given there's no football on at the moment and The Arsenal are still a solid six week's away until the proper stuff starts to kick in. I thought about going along to one of the friendlies we've got penned in for the beginning [...]

Southgate’s tactical approach makes me happy we’ve got Arteta

Much like last Thursday and Friday last week, it's all gone deathly quiet and, with there being no Euro's like last Thursday and Friday as well as no real Arsenal news to speak of, it's becoming quite slim pickings indeed out there in the football universe. Last week I wasn't fussed because it was a [...]

Here’s why the timing of fixtures DOES matter for The Arsenal

By |2024-06-19T08:50:26+01:00June 19th, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, gooners, Gunners, pre season, premier league|0 Comments

I was torn in between two minds yesterday, as I didn't get time to write some random musings until around 8.30am, but then gave up because whatever I thought/said would be superseded by the announcement yesterday of the fixtures that have come out. Cue all of us pouring over each game, when the 'big ticket' [...]
