Morning all. I didn’t see all of the game but I’m not too disappointed about that. I know it’s only pre-season and yesterday’s final fixture in Asia was little other than a training session but to be honest, the performance was just a rinse and repeat of a number of games we’ve seen before. […]

Afternoon guys. An earlier than usual north London derby for the season kicks off in less than an hours time. The fixture also brings an end to Arsenal’s pre-season tour of Asia. On a first north London derby abroad, Mikel Arteta said: Well, a great idea. I think to bring football tradition, a rivalry, […]
Morning all. A simple question this morning, inspired by Potter. Do Arsenal need Eze? With 134 appearances for Crystal Palace behind him, he’s scored 34 Goals. He’s a midfielder/winger, admittedly, a left sided player which is our only weak spot in my opinion. As far as central midfield goes, we’re suddenly well stocked with […]
Morning all. Kev has written yesterday’s match review but before that, I would just like to say a huge congratulations to the England women for winning the Euros for the second time running. From before the tournament kicked off, Sarina Wiegman and her squad had to deal with a lot all of which you […]
Morning all. Alleluia! Arsenal have finally signed a goal scoring machine. A proper striker rather than a winger come striker or a midfielder come striker. A 6’ 2” international striker who scores goals for fun!! He’s 27 years old, so no spring chicken when it comes to how Arsenal have usually operated under Mikel […]
Morning all. It’s funny how when the story about a petition against the signing of Noni, it spread like wildfire yet when Declan Rice made his feelings clear on our fourth summer signing, I don’t think his words travelled much further than Arsenal.com. Positivity doesn’t suit the Arsenal agenda does it? I doubt […]
Morning all. Arsenal confirmed a fifth summer signing yesterday in Cristhian Mosquera, a 6’ 3” 21 year old Spanish central defender. One for the future? I doubt it because since stepping into Valencia’s team at the age of 19 in August 2023, he has gone on to start 70 league games out of a […]
Morning all. Kev has kindly reviewed yesterday’s friendly fixture. Max Allegri, the experienced Italian coach, sent out a strong, disciplined and defensively organised AC Milan team to face the Gunners in Singapore yesterday. Despite a sizeable advantage in goalscoring opportunities for the Arsenal, just the one goal divided the two teams […]
Morning all. What is there not to love about Arsenal’s new kit? Ok, the colour, I detest blue! Where’s the yellow gone Adidas? Seriously, it’s a great design which I believe the players will be wearing today in the game against AC Milan. Back to last night though and another late late show from […]
Morning all. It’s hard to understand why in 2025, racism is still prevalent in this world and in sport. England’s Jess Carter being the latest victim to online abuse. Yes, she had a poor game against Sweden, certainly by her standards but that had nothing to do with the colour of her skin! Other […]
Morning all. After a few days of training in the Spanish sunshine, Mikel Arteta and the players have travelled to Asia where Arsenal’s preparations for the 2025/26 season go up a level. The fixtures the boys play out in Asia might be ‘friendlies’ but I’m sure friendliness will go out the window when […]
Morning all. New signings are meant to be exciting but these days it’s more of a case of, “ok, who’s next”?That’s not say I’m not pleased Arsenal are bolstering the squad but because this, like every other transfer made these days, has been talked about many times long before the player pops up on […]
