Morning all. The Telegraph report this morning that Arsenal scouts were hard at work last night keeping a close eye on Sevilla Defensive midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak. If true, great! The big Pole has a buy-out clause of just £21.26 million and that’s a good price for a seasoned international player who is rated very highly […]
Morning all. How many times have we been here before? A hefty loss, followed by Arsenal players declaring that things must and will improve. Vice Captain Per Mertesacker has started the ball rolling this season after Sunday’s latest horror show: ‘That was the first game of the season. [It’s] a bad start but sometimes you […]
Morning all. Outplayed, out fought and beaten! And utterly deserved in my opinion. Well done to West Ham. They were up for this game and worked non stop from start to finish, they wanted the ball when we had it and most of the time they got it too, either by their own means or we […]
Morning all. Well done to the under 19’s who yesterday added another trophy to the Arsenal cabinet. Great result for them and the club. The players out on loan also had a good day yesterday, Akpom and Toral scored for their temporary clubs, Hayden though managed to pick up a booking. Good to see them […]
Morning all. You know that guy who said Benzema is et to sign for us? Well tomorrow is the day, honest, he’s signing tomorrow.

Morning all. Italian football journalist Emanuele Giulianelli has taken the Benzema story to another level. Not only has he predicted we’ll sign the Madrid player, he’s now said the deal will be closed today for £35 million. Benzema will sign a four year deal on £120,000 a week. That price has come down a bit eh, but […]
Morning all. Poor old Jack Wilshere has reportedly suffered a hairline fracture of his left fibula, an injury which could keep him away from the game for months. Three months at least apparently if he requires surgery, around eight weeks if he doesn’t. Apparently Gabriel was the man responsible after a tough tackle. That’s life! […]
Morning all. Apart from the stories suggesting Jack Wilshere could miss a month of football due to injury and Alexis Sanchez returns to training today, there’s not a lot of news around to get stuck into. Even the transfer rumour mill has gone quiet these days, well apart from the Benzema saga which is boring […]
Morning all, A bit of fun to kick off today. Does anyone know where this is located? No? What about this? Or this? Finally, this? One of you must know….. Onto the football stuff, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has hit back at that buffoon Roy Keane who suggested that our players are too interested in their own bodies […]
Morning all.. It was only a friendly right? Meant nothing really did it? Just another pre-season match to gain fitness, right? The result didn’t really matter either did it? Neither did the trophy at the end as it was only the Charity Shield right? Rubbish, every single answer to the questions above is was a […]
Morning all. Who nicked those two months then? It seems like only yesterday that Mikel Arteta was lifting the FA Cup for a second time at Wembley yet here we are, back to the same big stadium for the Premier League curtain raiser, the Charity Shield or whatever it’s called these days. This time last […]
