Before I start talking about the press conference and some of the more interesting parts of it for me yesterday, I thought I'd just mention Arsenal's campaign against knife crime that was released yesterday, with a video and also confirmation that Arsenal will wear an all white kit for the game against Nottingham Forest in [...]

Season preview: Not enough chaos theory at Arsenal

Just when everyone thought it was getting 'really' serious, as quickly as the Ramsdale rumours started 'hotting up', they've had some cold water poured on them as of last night, with news emerging that Arsenal were unprepared to meet the frankly farcical fee suggested by Sheffield United for Ramsdale. This is good. This is acceptable. [...]

I do have to chuckle at Man United fans you know. I start off today's Arsenal musings with a smile in relation to the Manc's, because there are a fair few of them crowing that they are buying Varane for £34million plus some add ons, as well as Sancho for £73million, then comparing that to [...]

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 [...]

Tavares and Locatelli – one locked down, the other not down

Happy Thursday folks! Hope you are doing well? Bit weird with no football on for two consecutive days, isn't it? I had to make do with Wimbledon last night and Andy Murray scraping through against a guy who had basically never played tournament tennis, or something like that. He was decent though and made Murray [...]

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

By |2021-06-22T07:50:50+01:00June 22nd, 2021|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, gooners, Internationals, pre season, Transfers|3 Comments

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 [...]

Lokonga and Onana – get it done Arsenal

I don't really know who Albert Sambi Lokonga is, I have never watched a single minute of him play football, but I already know that he is the answer to our central midfield problems right now. With Granit Xhaka on his way out of Arsenal imminently, there is a pressing need for us to go [...]

Arteta’s ‘hurt’ and the need for swift summer action from Monday

Mikel Arteta talked to the assembled press yesterday and I have to say I thought he talked about a whole manner of things that were interesting to try to read between the lines. So much so that I actually think more was debated about 'other stuff' than the actual Brighton game itself. Which to be [...]

Arsenal and Arteta in free fall with defeat to Everton

I really believed yesterday's game was going to be the change in fortunes. I thought we'd get a reaction from the players and that we'd come away from Goodison Park from it. I had a funny feeling about the game and I tried my best to exude the positive vibes throughout the day in some [...]
