Morning all. Euros kicked off last night with a big win for Italy over Turkey. Today though the fixtures hold a bit more interest for Arsenal fans. Certainly the first one. Wales v Switzerland Denmark v Finland Belgium v Russia. Arsenal old boy Aaron Ramsey up against...

Morning all. I saw a headline from the Mirror which covered the battles between Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane. Whilst not condoning their behaviour, the passion they showed was incredible, either that or they simply just hated each other. From 1996 through to 2005, the...

Morning all. If the last two England performances are anything to go by, Bukayo Saka could soon be back home, or at least enjoying a break from the game. Boring and uninspired, that’s England under Gareth Southgate. A bit like Arsenal last season really. Jack Grealish...

Morning all. If the Emi Buendia deal came down to money then Villa are welcome to him. If the player really wanted a move to Arsenal, he could have said no to the move to Birmingham. Sometimes, things just don’t work out. Assuming Arsenal really were in for the...

Morning all. Bukayo Saka has had a really good season for Arsenal. If one was to be super critical about his game, he doesn’t score enough goals. The same can be said of Arsenal in general though. Our young midfielder, winger/left back has been nominated for the...

Morning all. I’ve copied this from Sky Sports, a repeat of what Granit Xhaka is reported to have told Blick: Of course I read (about the interest). But now I’m 100 per cent focused on the national team here. That’s more important than Arsenal or rumours...

Morning all. Some of the Arsenal players who’ve been out on loan last season shared a mixed bag of joy and disappointment. Guendouzi ended the season injured whilst Kolasinac and Mustafi suffered relegation with their club. I don’t think Torreira had the best of times...
