We're just getting Ornbomb after Ornbomb at the moment, aren't we? And yesterday's latest explosion was the confirmation of the William Saliba deal, which has been signed, sealed and delivered and I suspect the club are just choosing the right moment to make the announcement, having confirmed Nelson signed a new deal yesterday too. Give [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Monday. I was hanging quite a bit yesterday, so couldn't face a computer screen, but I did eventually get around to looking at my phone and saw that David Ornstein had confirmed that Saliba had all but signed up on a four year deal to stay at the club. It's [...]
There's not many of you who will probably know this, but on my Dad's side of the family there is an army of West Ham fans, with my Dad having been brought up in Stratford and his family all dating back to Whitechapel and the surrounding areas of East London. My brother chose to support [...]
'Tis the season to be...... ....Worried about every single transfer rumour that gets banded about, apparently, and I am by no means an exception it seems. For yesterday in the morning - after I'd written my daily musings on here first thing, a story emerged about how Arsenal could be resigned to losing Saliba this [...]
And then The Ornstein went and did that to us... Yep, last night we got another injury blow via The Athletic reporter, that not only with Saliba miss the remainder of this season through injury, but we'd also lose his fellow defensive teammate Oleksandr Zinchenko through a calf strain as well. both are big blows [...]
The all but official confirmation yesterday that Saliba would certainly miss tomorrow's game at the Etihad yesterday, sent a wave of Arsenal fans - your humble narrator included - into a wave of 'formation and play permutation bingo' and, I'll be honest, none of it was particularly palatable. We all know the issues of late; [...]
It’s match day tonight and, I’ll be completely honest with you not only am I worried that we might not deliver the kind of assured performance of a team that sits top of the league, but I’m also slightly concerned about our season longer term. That’s because Arteta had his press conference yesterday and confirmed [...]
Morning folks. Yesterday I put a tweet out about how I'd almost forgotten how rubbish Monday's are after a disappointing performance from Arsenal. We've been that good all season that out of the 28 or 29 match weeks (I know we are on game 31 but there have been midweek Premier League matches so sometimes [...]
Well we got our press conference from the boss yesterday and for me the one worrying thing that stood out was the Saliba update. We've all talked about it online, in the pubs amongst fellow Gooners, about how back injuries are apparently tough to get over and diagnose. But when you have an update from [...]
Tricky Micky Arteta had his press conference yesterday and, as expected, didn’t really give away much in terms of team news. I suppose the best news is that we have no fresh injuries from last weekend. That is good enough for me because at this stage of the season the last thing we want to [...]
