Morning all. Now the transfer window has closed, there’s not much to talk about really. Well, not until Sunday when we see how the team play, how Emery lines us up, changes things when/if needed, substituting players because it’s what’s needed and how he attempts to stop the current League Champions from kicking off this […]

Morning all. Here’s the biggest money spenders of the summer. Liverpool spent ..£171.3 m Chelsea spent. ..£122m Leicester spent ..£101.5m West Ham spent £91.5m Fulham spent. … £80.5m Arsenal spent. …£71.4m Man Utd spent …£64.2m Man City spent ..£62.6m Totts – a big fat zero which is a surprise for a club who they and […]
Morning all. I’m sure we all wanted Dembele in the door, even a season long loan would have added some excitement but he’s staying at Barcelona and that’s that. Disappointed? Yes of course but not surprised. Give it a year or two and perhaps we’ll be in a much better place and players like Dembele […]
Morning all. I’m staying away from the Stan Kroenke topic after all, apart from him buying out Alisher Usmanov and the rest of the shares floating around, what impact his sole ownership might have on the club is yet to be seen. Moaning won’t change his mind anymore than the exaggerated headlines on Newsnow will. […]
Morning all. Kev left this comment late yesterday evening: Aaron Ramsey still unresolved? Reiss Nelson still unresolved? (The Sun reckon that’s about to change with him signing a new long term deal) Carl Jenkins is still not sorted? David Ospina still faffing about? Joel Campbell, where is he, let alone is he staying or going? […]
Morning all. I think most of us will agree on a few things. Going forward we are well stocked, apart from a left sided wide player as using Aubameyang there kind of defeats the object of having a clinical striker such as he is. The other side of that debate is playing wide left didn’t […]
Morning all. That’s it then, pre-season is done and dusted and now the real football begins. Although we beat Lazio quite comfortably, little can be taken from the game really as not only was it just another friendly, but a mixed bag of players too from start to finish. Perhaps for one or two it […]
Morning all. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m struggling to remove my cynical side when it comes to Arsenal players and their injuries. Kolasinac, yes, 8 – 10 weeks for him which is a huge blow to him and the team especially as Nacho Monreal has had much of a preseason, actually, I […]
Mesut Ozil has recently declared himself unavailable for selection for the German national team after claims Germany’s football association (DFB) were disrespectful and racist towards him and his heritage. While this has to be seen as a blow to Germany, especially after a disappointing World Cup campaign, it could be a blessing in disguise for […]
Morning all. Have to laugh really at the way Alexandre Lacazette has pretty much been forced to defend his place at Arsenal. The gutter media have tried to make out that since the arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Lacazette is second best, some have even gone as far to suggest he should be sold. Mind you, […]
Afternoon all. As the saying goes, better late than never and this post comes with good news. Emile Smith-Rowe has signed a new long term deal with Arsenal. Still listed as an Academy player he might be but having turned 18 Years old whilst on tour, I reckon he’ll be involved a lot with the […]
Morning all. In the words of Sokratis Papastathopoulos: I am here to show I am first a defender and after that comes everything else. Of course, you have to know how to play with the ball, in the last five or six years football has changed a lot. A lot of coaches and a lot […]
