Morning all. Thomas Partey is close to finalising a move to Saudi Arabia, report ESPN. The Ghanaian midfielder – who turned 31 yesterday – was restricted to just 16 appearances last season due to injury. I hope this is true, not because I’ll be glad to see the back of him but because Arsenal […]

Morning all. After all the fuss about Eric ten Hag, he’s staying at Manchester United. Not only is he staying, he’s reported to be given a new contract. Poor bloke has been dragged through the mill by the sports writers who seemed to truly believe his days in the Premier League were over. Utd clearly […]
Morning all. First up, there’s a great article in The Athletic about Carlos Cuesta, one of Mikel Arteta’s right hand men. It’s worth reading that’s for sure. Who knows, when Mikel Arteta hangs his Arsenal boots up for good, Carlos might be his replacement. Granit Xhaka had nothing but praise for him: Of course, […]
Morning all. Aaron Ramsdale let one sneak inside the post whilst on England duty last night. He looked, he thought he had it covered whilst probably expecting the shot to go on his other side. It didn’t and one goal was enough to leave he and his team beaten. The critics will be out against […]
Morning all. The Man City saga rolls on and it will do until the outcome of next weeks legal case is over. If City win, football as we know it, is in my opinion, finished but if City lose, the case against them in November will have got a lot stronger. According to Mail Sport, […]
Morning all. When it comes to transfer rumours, the most reliable source in my opinion is The Athletic. A newspaper which reports that Arsenal have been considering a move for Ajax defender Jorrel Hato for a while. He’s young, 18 years old and most commonly plays at centre-back, but on several occasions he has featured […]
Morning all. Eberechi Eze, ditched by Arsenal back in 2011 when he was just 13 years old. In 2020, he told the world, or rather The Independent, just how he felt that awful day: I was 13 [when I was released]. That was the worst one. I remember crying in my room for a solid […]
Afternoon all. I know this is a football website but my thoughts are with the family of Rob Burrow. The ex Leeds rugby player was diagnosed with MND back in 2019, just two years after he retired from the game. Despite his illness, perhaps in spite of his illness, he and his old teammate Kevin […]
Morning all. Last summer, Arsenal’s head of medical services Gary O’Driscoll, left the club to join Man. This summer, current physio Jordan Reece is about to join him. Should we be concerned? Probably not. Of course medical people are extremely important in football as they are in our own lives but there are thousands of […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta got his hands on a trophy a couple of nights ago as he was awarded Best Coach – Premier League award at the KAFD Globe Soccer Awards Europe. He jetted off to Sardinia to collect his prize at the inaugural European edition of the awards, held since 2010 by the […]
Morning all. Here is an extract from an article written by Jame McNicholas of The Athletic in amongst what I think is a really good write up on Arsenal’s season just gone by. There was joy at Christmas as Arsenal sat top of the Premier League… Any joy was short-lived, though. Between Christmas and New […]
Afternoon guys. There’s a new Champions League format next season. Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool and Aston Villa will be amongst 36 clubs involved in the competition instead of playing three teams twice in a group, each club will now will face eight different opponents within a league instead of a group. The league phase will […]
