Before I talk about the game tonight, a word on FIFA, the most corrupt organisation I have ever seen, who yesterday confirmed that Saudi Arabia had won the rights to host the 2034 World Cup after nobody else bid for it. Nobody. Really. So one of the most prestigious tournaments on the planet, that generates [...]

How does Arteta prepare for West Ham on Wednesday?

Given that Arsenal played on Saturday, I did something I don't always normally do, in watching the other kick offs that were on Sky Sports yesterday. Usually when Arsenal aren't on, I'll find something else to do with The Management and as a result I'm not usually by a TV, but yesterday I was hanging [...]

Timber’s in, Rice too (sort of?)

Well we finally have that closure on transfers that we wanted, with the confirmation yesterday of Jurrien Timber from Ajax announced by the club, then this morning as I have been sat at my desk typing away, West Ham have weirdly confirmed that Declan Rice is leaving West Ham - without actually mentioning Arsenal at [...]

Why are (some) West Ham fans so angry at Arsenal?

This morning I logged in to my Twitter as usual and for the third day in a row I saw a debate that had been retweeted by an Arsenal fan, between West Ham fans, about the whole Declan Rice situation. And I have to tell you, it confused the heck out of me. The debate [...]

Rice and a waffle

Here we ago again folks. Yet more Rice talk, as Ornstein confirmed last night we’ve bid £100million plus £5million in add ons for Declan Rice and whilst the talk this morning is that West Ham still aren’t happy, I’m starting to get pretty bored of talking about this, to be honest. So I think today [...]

Do Arsenal have it in them to ‘swoop’ for players?

Well, here I am coming to you from a very sunny Portugal folks, which can only mean one thing: Arsenal transfer signings are going to start happening. Don't ask me how, don't ask me why, it just is a 'thing', going back to when we signed Per Mertesacker and Mikel Arteta in 2011. This is [...]

Reason’s for optimism on Rice

Morning Gooners and welcome to Friday. How we all holding up? Ok? Obviously if you're a social media obsessive like me then you'll have seen the noises last night from Di Marzio that Rice is getting closer to agreeing to sign to Man City. I believe he's pretty reliable and if these noises are true [...]

Sullivan shows his hand in Rice saga – but does that help or hinder Arsenal?

Morning Gooners, how we all doing? I haven't been sleeping well. Combination of stuff at work, some drinking, but also thinking about The Arsenal. On that last point I'm sure you can empathise. We're back on the Declan Rice trail today and yesterday I hadn't seen the quotes from David Sullivan in the morning, but [...]

Arrogant Arsenal slip up at West Ham

Quite often when I write my daily ramblings I just start typing without really knowing what the title of the blog will be. Usually it just comes to me as I draw my final conclusions. But today is different in that I've started with the title and I'm working my way from there. That's because [...]

Start fast and hopefully quieten West Ham down

Ahh man am I hungover. Started off with a stein at lunchtime and it slowly descended from there. So I’m feeling a bit fragile this morning. Don’t make my day worse Arsenal, please, I’m begging you. City made light work of Leicester City as we thought and so it means that if we want to [...]
