That felt very much like a professional 'job done' from Arteta and the boys last night. It literally felt like the archetypal result that ticked all of the boxes: Minutes into legs of squad players Young players given the opportunity to shine Comfortable result Controlling possession and football played Arteta's way No new injuries (that [...]

Morning Gooners, how we all doing, eh? I'm on me travels again today, this time heading up to Northumberland to see The Management's family for the weekend, which is good really because it coincides with this interminable international break, so I can be fully 'present' and not distracted for a solid four hours for the [...]

What are Arsenal going to get from Raheem Sterling?

With all of the furore with the Brihgton game, with it happening so soon after the transfer window shut last Friday, I realised I'd barley even had time to properly think a out the fact that Arsenal had signed Raheem Sterling from Chelsea on what we all know is a super deal for the club. [...]

What a weird ol' transfer deadline day that was yesterday, eh? I am with a couple of friends and The Management in Portugal for our last day today and yesterday my mate Paul - who isn't in to football at all, was asking me about Transfer Deadline Day and why clubs leave it to the [...]

Arsenal’s ability to transfer pivot has me ‘calma’ on Transfer Deadline Day

Been a bit sporadic on the compilation of Arsenal-related thoughts this week, on account of holiday in Portugal and also a little bit of time spent in Seville, as well as being pretty hungover almost every morning of waking up! But given it's Transfer Deadline Day today and there will also be a press conference from [...]

Fanciful transfer stuff from presser

Happy Saturday to you and your kin. My weekend started early due to some annual leave I've been soaking in for the last few days, but at least there's been some football - albeit some pretty semi-shocking football on Wednesday - to keep me busy. I've been through my thoughts on the midweek action and [...]

If's and but's on rotation, the league and transfers

A little holiday away from work awaits yours truly here after today's London grind, so apologies if the timing of the blogs get a little wayward, a bit like a loose Fabregas kick into the centre of a group of players inside a penalty box I suppose. What a bit of madness that was, eh? [...]

Happy Easter Saturday in which let's all be completely honest with each other, unless we get a win this lunchtime, won't make this festive season a fun one.Liverpool come to town and it's a Liverpool team in which Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana will no doubt have miraculously recovered from the injuries that conveniently left [...]

fanciful Walcott hypothesising

With one more pointless set of internationals to play, we're still knee-deep in the thick of it, footballistically speaking. We had the worry of Welbeck's injury that still looms on the horizon but, with Arsène probably not going to speak to the press until Thursday at the earliest, there's still plenty of time for us to [...]
