I find it a little sad that despite an absolutely thumping victory - albeit against a poor Norweigen side in Viking FK - most of the talk after the game and today amongst Arsenal fans, is the post match comments about signings that he made. Certainly if you read just the written word about what [...]
When you've had your dinner really early, like 5.30pm or 6pm, then you get to 9 O'Clock and you start to feel hungry again. That's how I'd describe the Arsenal fanbase right now in relation to transfers and how we feel about the squad. In June, before the Euro's started, we secured what is looking [...]
Well it wouldn't be a pre season with Arsenal if there wasn't already some sort of rumoured injury crisis, would it? Yesterday the news emerged that Mertesacker may - or may not - be out for five months after the injury he sustained against Lens last week (which ruled him out of the US tour), [...]
These are strange and dangerous times, people, strange and dangerous times. In the wider world outside football there is much conflict, with countries declaring states of emergency, as well as the bigots using 'Brexit' as a means to peddle their own racist views with what seems like impunity. Plus, Sam Allardyce is about to be [...]
As seems to be the way at the moment, a new day brings about a rehashed story, in relation to Arsenal's comings and goings. Yesterday there were some flickers about Icardi and as much as I think he would be a great signing, I can't really see it happening, if I'm honest. He's the Inter [...]
As news filtered through from a few random media outlets in Italy that Juventus had entered the fray in relation to the purchase of a certain Gonzalo Higuain, I found myself talking with Giles about the very real prospect of us leaving it until the last minute, then going out and buying a Loic Remyesque striker. [...]
Quiet. All so very quiet. So quiet in fact, that the press are even giving up on rumours it seems, because Draxler/Higuain are the only names I saw banded about on NewsNow when I had a check earlier. So we find ourselves having to look at alternative things to talk about, with my mind wandering [...]
I've been up in the North East of the country at the weekend, which has meant travelling down south yesterday by far and only being able to catch the games on the radio, which inevitably meant that there were more goals and excitement in every half yesterday compared to the shower of the proverbial that [...]
So as we hit the midway point in the working week for many (like me), we're still no closer to finding out what the situation is with Jamie Vardy, with the latest rumours coming from the press that a decision will not be made just yet. Apparently he wants to focus on the Euro's. I [...]
So, in classic Arsenal style, we've been inadvertently drawn into another transfer saga. One in which, if we're all honest, shouldn't even be something that we're talking about. Jamie Vardy has done all of his talking, he's had offer and counter offer in this unusually public courtship for Arsenal, now he finds himself with a [...]
