I can't tell you how much I've been looking forward to writing this blog today. Having spent a large part of the summer in the transfer doldrums, then seeing our start to the season completely disrupted by injuries and the failure to adequately prepare for the season openers, the tone of my writing hasn't been [...]
So, as with all Arsenal transfers, sh*t doesn't really get real until yer man David Ornstein gives out a little titbit of information via the medium of Twitter. I think it's something like stage four of a five stage process, to be honest with you, with the final stage just being the medical, confirm terms between [...]
Welcome to Tuesday y'all. We're now officially on a one week countdown before the transfer window has slammed shut and unsurprisingly, there is no news, which isn't at all like the saying. It's not really good at all. Of course we have to reserve judgement until the window has closed, but based on the data [...]
Hi y'all, hope you're good, after all it is Friday. That's something to be positive about. Right? We also had Arsene's presser to talk about, which he did a day early, as is the custom these days when the team travel away from home. He spoke of a great many things, some of which I'll [...]
I don't know about you, but this week - footballistically speaking - certainly feels like it's dragging on, as we're still only at Wednesday and I'm still a little raw from the opening day defeat. I'm trying to remember if it's always been like this at the beginning of the season. I think it might [...]
Depending on what you choose to read, who you choose to follow and when you choose to do either, you were either very excited, very disappointed, or just very confused yesterday. All of the signs over the weekend seemed to have pointed towards an imminent arrival of Shokran Mustafi by the middle of this week, [...]
Happy Saturday and welcome to the first day of the season, albeit without any Arsenal, although that's ok, right? I mean, it allows us to take some sides by cheering on the teams of those that we perceive are the nearest rivals, so at least that's something. So today you and I will be temporary [...]
It's 7am on Friday as I write this, with at least 2 hours until Arsène's first presser of the season and where normally there would be anticipation and excitement on our chances this season, there is mainly only worry that what usually happens to Arsenal - injuries - has come at least two months earlier [...]
Ok, plenty of trips to wade through this morning, so let's have at it. By tripe, I mean transfer giff-gaff, media bluster, journo hyperbole and all that jazz. Firstly to BILD, who have been interviewing our German maestro which has been translated by the English speaking press, quoting him as saying that he'd jump at [...]
Like you, I am hoping that Arsenal can feel in Shokran Mustafi from Valencia, but unlike many I feel like I'm one of the few people that has realised that if it actually happens we've still got a selection dilemma come the first game of the season. Mustafi played in the same squad as Özil. [...]
