An almost perfect day at the office for The Arsenal

Yesterday was so very nearly the perfect footballing day. An arrival of a new signing and boyhood fan before the game, a thumping of a newly promoted side with the goals shared, your star striker off the mark, plus a debut for the 15-year-old wonderkid. Yep, yesterday could have had it all. Unfortunately for us [...]

A weird NLD, but a chance to see Big Vik?

By |2025-07-31T08:03:33+01:00July 31st, 2025|Arsenal FC|0 Comments

It's a weird match day of sorts, because technically it's a North London Derby day but in reality, this has none of the usual jeopardy that comes with that most wretched of fixtures. So I don't really know how I feel about it. It's because of that lack of jeopardy that I am trying to [...]

The ol’ “shirt sales have paid for his transfer” schtick – bringing back some nostalgia

By |2025-07-30T08:03:19+01:00July 30th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, Attack, finances, friendly, pre season|0 Comments

Do you know what I love? A good ol' fashioned story about how shirt sales have paid for a transfer. Nothing beats it. It reminds me of the early 2ks when you hear stories like how Beckham's fee that Real Madrid paid to United was paid for overnight. It does make me chuckle. So when [...]

Hale End girls save England as Gyokeres jets off to Asia

By |2025-07-23T08:20:51+01:00July 23rd, 2025|Arsenal|0 Comments

Morning folks - there's no better place to start today than that dramatic late winner for The England Women's team who last night progressed to the final. I find it lovely and heartwarming that these ladies have (once again) captivated the nation through their grit, determination and never-say-die approach to this tournament. That's two rounds [...]

Arteta is pumped over new signings

It's a new week, the lads are in Singapore, Mikel Arteta has had a press conference and by all accounts, he seemed in good spirits. He talked about a whole manner of things - not Gyokeres by name though - and given what he said and the way he said it, it's clear that we [...]

Noni with a point to prove; everyone wants Vik saga done

By |2025-07-20T09:36:17+01:00July 20th, 2025|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, Attack, friendly, gooners, Gunners, pre season|0 Comments

Been a little too busy with work and family stuff over the last 48 hours, so haven't had much time to compose some morning thoughts post the Madueke signing, but it's done, we've picked up the player and I think now that it's all in black and white - or should I say red and white [...]

Don’t worry about Eze

By |2025-07-17T08:45:41+01:00July 17th, 2025|Arsenal FC|0 Comments

If you believe everything you read on line, you'd be forgiven for getting a little antsy that the supposed new interest in Eze from Chelsea could scupper any potential deal that The Arsenal do. Personally, I'm not minded to put too much credence in to it at this stage, because Eze would be batshit mental [...]

The calm before the transfer storm?

So here we are folks, on a countdown to that mythical 'line in the sand that Mikel Arteta has supposedly drawn to everyone at The Arsenal, with regards to getting his players in, so he can have them all on tour and getting a full pre season into those new arrivals. We've all heard that [...]

Arsenal making moves this week

Well it's the start of a new week and we have ourselves quite a busy one it sounds like, because last night we got the Ornbomb that Arsenal and Sporting Lisbon have settled on a package that works for both parties and Viktor Gyokeres will be allowed to get himself over to The Arsenal for [...]

Norgaard will complete the upgrades – but what are we able to do on top of that?

I don't really understand why battle lines need to be drawn amongst the Arsenal fanbase online, I have to say, with regards to this Sesko/Gyokeres saga. I've seen people getting really quite pissy over the fact that Sesko will most probably not be 'the guy' and that he'll probably be plying his trade elsewhere either [...]
