Morning all. I suggested yesterday that when it came to Arsenal’s chase for Viktor Gyokeres, someone or something had to give. Well, that’s exactly what seems to have happened because now, Arsenal are in the process of completing a deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres after taking final steps in negotiations with Sporting CP for […]

Morning all. The hunt for a striker goes on for Arsenal. Viktor Gyokeres seemed to be the favourite, according to the media anyway but who knows what the truth is? I’d like to think Andrea Berta does and that very soon, a deal is struck. The worst case scenario would be going into […]
Morning all. The thought of Ethan Nwaneri rejecting his boyhood club is something I’m trying not to think about. But it’s there, niggling away at the back of my mind. Born and bed in North London, Nwaneri joined the Arsenal Academy at 8 years old. His Premier League debut against Brentford on 18 September […]
Morning all. It’s no secret that Mikel Arteta’s teams have often struggled against opponents who deploy a low block. Or teams who are solid in defence, good on the break. Finding a way to rectify this has no doubt been in Mikel Arteta’s mind for a while. Watching us huff and puff in and […]
Photo from Arsenal.com Morning all. For a change, I watched two football matches yesterday evening, or at least most of both. England’s women were so much better than they were against France and ended up beating Holland 4-0, Alessia Russo with a hat trick of assists. My goodness that girl has a good engine […]
Morning all. The Benjamin Sesko v Viktor Gyokeres debate is likely to continue until the latter has scored 20 goals by Christmas. I get the debate though, both are expensive but one is younger, taller and perhaps more versatile. If we’re to believe what’s written in the back pages, Andrea Berta wants Gyokeres where […]
Morning all. Took the four legged one for a snuffle walk late yesterday evening. Just around the local roads for a sniff and a mooch and I came across the above cul-de-sac. I couldn’t resist taking a picture so I could share it. As long as I don’t find a Vitality Avenue, I’ll be fine. […]
Morning all. Eberechi Eze, Morgan Rogers and Noni Madueke have been in the Arsenal news of late but as reported yesterday by The Athletic, it seems personal terms have been agreed with the Chelsea man. Just this morning, Fabrizio Romano has suggested a five year contract has been agreed too. He might […]
Morning all. The Athletic and the BBC have supplied the bulk of today’s post. The more reliable of the two sources report that former Real Madrid defender Gabriel Heinze is joining Mikel Arteta’s coaching staff. He’s moves from Newell’s Old Boys where he’s been head coach. I’d not heard of that football club before and […]
Photo from Arsenal.com Afternoon all. I’ve often said that the women’s game doesn’t float every Arsenal fans boat but what’s certain is, when the Arsenal women play their fixtures at The Emirates, it’s usually a sellout. This coming season, there will be a lot more women’s fixtures at The Emirates which has in my […]
Photo from Arsenal.com Afternoon guys. At last, Arsenal have signed a new player this summer and its ex Chelsea goalkeeper, Kepa. I prefer to think of him as ex Bournemouth goalkeeper because that’s where he was last season and he did well too. The 30 year old Spaniard will I’d imagine, play second fiddle […]
Morning all. It’s the last day of June, the date contracts can run out as is the case with Thomas Partey who is set to leave the club for nothing. Tomorrow, the 1st July, is usually the date for a summer signing players contract to begin which I know you all know. So far this […]
