Morning all. It was all going on at Arsenal yesterday. Josh Kroenke was in town in to watch the early evening game against Leeds. Before though, he spoke to Arsenal Media about the success in the women’s game with Arsenal winning the Champions League and England the Euros. He thanked the fans for their support, […]

Morning all. When Mikel Arteta was asked if he is now armed with the most complete squad of his near seven-year tenure, he replied: In terms of numbers and quality, yes for sure. When you shake the tree and bring in more players, there are always things that can happen. The spirit of that is […]
Afternoon all. Unless you were hoping for the absolute “perfect” squad, I think Arsenal fans might just be pretty chuffed with what Arsenal have done in the transfer window this summer. Every squad needs a mix of players, a balance. Grafters, skill, strength, intelligence and desire. The ability to be smart and at times, […]
Morning all. Yesterday evening, Arsenal performed a u-turn quicker than I used to in my Toyota iQ! Don’t even think about mocking the car because it was a great little runner and speedy too. If it wasn’t for the fact that Toyota stopped producing them, I’d still have one today. Anyway, just as Totts thought […]
Morning all. A number of Arsenal players picked up awards last night with Declan Rice, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes were named in the PFA team of the year which says a lot about where Arsenal’s strengths were last season. In the women’s game, Mariona Caldentey, Emily Fox, Kim Little and Alessia Russo were […]
Morning all. I’ll get the pleasantries out of the way, two of Utd’s summer signings, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha caused us problems. Admittedly, some of those problems were of our own making as our full backs pushed too high up the pitch or got caught out of position, especially Riccardo Calafiori, but nevertheless Utd […]
Morning all. Here we go then. Arsenal’s 2025/26 campaign kicks off this afternoon in Manchester. There was a time when the winners of the Utd and Arsenal battle would pretty much decide which club would win the league. It was a battle like no other both on the pitch and off it. The feisty […]
Morning all. The 2025/26 Premier League season kicked off last night with Liverpool v Bournemouth. Slot’s side won 4-2 but for much of the game, Bournemouth gave them plenty to be concerned about. With better finishing, my new local club would have left Anfield with at least a point. I thought Anthony Taylor and […]
Morning all. I found the following information on Arsenal.com As well as a few rule changes this season which we’ve already talked about, six new officials have joined the group Professional Game Match Officials (PGMO). They have been added to a supplementary list for the Select Group 1, which serves both the Premier League […]
Morning all. I didn’t watch much of the Charity Shield final yesterday afternoon but apparently Liverpool fans booed the national anthem and Palace fans were noisy during the minutes silence in memory of Jota and his brother. Shame on them I say. It was slightly amusing to see Liverpool the penalty shootout though. You’d […]
Morning all. Three goals and a clean sheet, what’s not to be happy about after our final pre-season fixture of the summer. Viktor Gyokeres scored our opening goal with a thunderous header and then Bukayo Saka, with the assist from Gabriel Martinelli, tucked home our second. Late in the second half, Kai Havertz made […]
Morning all. So, this is it then, our final pre-season fixture before the 2025/06 Premier League kicks off next weekend. The summer has seen Arsenal finally sign a striker and a winger. Oh, and a central defender, two central midfielders and a goalkeeper. Plus, Gabriel, Myles Lewis-Skelly and now, Ethan Nwaneri have signed new […]
