Arsenal released the words from Mikel Arteta for his press conference yesterday, which actually took place after the Sporting Lisbon game, so I guess all the journos were told it was under embargo until yesterday because a lot of the messaging didn't really come out about the game until the afternoon yesterday. So I guess [...]

Exits key to right back issue at The Arsenal?

It seems like there apears to be some movement in the departure lounge at London Colney. Over the last 48 hours we've heard stories about Palace wanting Nketiah for £10million, Fiorentina wanting Torreira for €1.5million loan deal and €15million option to buy at the end of next season, as well as...drumroll...Corinthians wanting Willian on a [...]

Arsenal need to sort out their first team quota pronto

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 [...]

Nearly halfway in to the transfer window – is anyone else starting to be concerned?

I didn't watch the game against Hibs on Tuesday and so didn't actually manage to catch some individual performances. So the sight yesterday of a slightly rounder Willian on the pitch, with various pictures of him looking visibly chubbier as he faced off against the Scottish team, would be utterly hilarious, if it wasn't so [...]

Wait, what? Arsenal are playing Palace tonight??

Do you know what's really weird? It's match day today and yet over the last 24/48 hours I keep forgetting Arsenal are playing Crystal Palace tonight. It goes to show just how much this season is paling into insignificance already. Part of me thinks it's a good thing, because I'm not going to get worked [...]

History repeating itself? Ryan Bertrand to Arsenal thoughts

By |2021-05-17T07:32:41+01:00May 17th, 2021|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Arsenal Transfers, contracts, History, Mikel Arteta, Transfers|0 Comments

So it appears the current Arsenal online battle line being drawn is between Ryan Bertrand and a possible move to Arsenal on a free. The line appears to be whether you'd be accepting of this deal or not and I have to tell you honestly that I'm kind of not fussed either way. Bertrand is [...]

Surround Lacazette with pace and punish Fulham in transition

Ahh man....my head hurts...four hours at the pub yesterday afternoon and a tomahawk steak for dinner and I have all the meat sweats and head pains. What I could really do with now is a bit of greasy food and then an Arsenal lunchtime win. I really don't want my brain to hurt more because [...]

Arteta gets it all wrong again against Slavia Prague

Well folks, the good news is that we aren't out of the Europa League yet, that there is still another leg to go and an opportunity for Arsenal to progress to the semi final of the competition. In itself a 1-1 draw in a two-legged tie isn't the worst thing in the world; you still [...]

Aguero at The Arsenal as another stop-gap signing?

Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday. Which is actually more like Wednesday, if you don't count Good Friday as a working day. So it's practically halfway through the week aka Wednesday. Except it's Tuesday. What it also is - sadly - is still international football time and that means for those of us who don't [...]

Arsenal building momentum with impressive win at Leicester

By |2021-03-01T08:04:08+00:00March 1st, 2021|Arsenal, Attack, Defence, Match Review, Mikel Arteta, premier league|0 Comments

I so much more enjoy writing a post match review after a victory. Monday mornings become so much more palatable! So it is that we all get to start this working week with the sweet smell of victory metaphorically permeating our nostrils this morning, having gone to Leicester and delivered an impressive performance against a [...]
