Morning all. Following the exit of Robin van Persie from ManUtd, Arsene Wenger said: I’m surprised that Robin van Persie goes to Turkey this summer, he’s a loss for English football because he’s an exceptional player, one of best I’ve managed, with an exceptional technique. I don’t know what happened, why he leaves, but he’s […]

Morning all. That was quite entertaining wasn’t it and I thought we played pretty well considering the heat, humidity and how early in pre-season it is. Theo took his goal well showing strength to beat the defender and keeper, Santi’s goal was like him, pure class and cheeky and Ozil fired home another good goal […]
The first team needs a striker many believe, but so did the ladies it seems and they’ve snapped one up from Barcelona! Well, she’s a ‘forward’ according to wiki although Afc.com list her as a midfielder but that means little… Marta Corredera is her name and she’s a Spanish international footballer. The 23-year-old helped the […]
Morning all. Roger has written today’s post: Bromance and the surprising ways that Flamini brings out the best of Ozil. While we continue to hang in this pre-season purgatory it’s the little things that give me a buzz. I love the video of the effervescent Santi nodding headers round a circle of Arsenal players in […]
Morning all. Well let’s hope the big guy can dive as well to get his bonce on the end of many crosses this season! These overseas pre-season tours to the Far East are clearly a bit of a struggle for our boys, have you seen what they’ve had to endure? Can you imagine having to suffer such […]
Morning all. Devil has written a piece about yesterday’s pre-season opening game. A right footed shot, a well stuck penalty and a header from a peach of a cross sums up Chuba’s performance and he was no doubt the hero for the Gunners yesterday in their first match after the summer break. The 19-year-old striker, who […]
Morning all. Ok, I know you won’t like the new ‘pop up’ advert but don’t worry, as soon as you hit the big ‘X’, you won’t see it again until the next day. It was all fun and frolics in Singapore yesterday as the new Arsenal away kit was launched. Some of the players got […]
Morning all. Carl Jenkinson has reportedly signed a new five year contract. Well I for one am chuffed to bits. He had a good season for West Ham and enjoyed being a regular starter and clearly benefitted from being trusted to play under Big Sam. But clearly not just Sam thought a lot of Jenks as […]
Morning all. I hope Ivan Gazidis has stayed at home with the AFC cheque book at the ready! One player not on the plane is Yaya Sanogo and according to reports in Holland, he’s heading out on loan to Dutch giants Ajax and the deal should be confirmed by the end of the week. Well Dennis […]
Hello you fine folk….. I’d like to think you’ve missed me but I know you haven’t. Wath has done a great job, he always does…. Yes I know, I’m lucky, well, you lot are as without him, you’d all be bored looking a week old post every day! Once we had Mad Jens, a goal […]
Morning all. Back in 2001 and on this very day, Big Sol switched North London Clubs and became an Arsenal player. That didn’t go down very well with the neighbours did it and what a cheeky move by Arsene Wenger eh and probably one of the best defenders he’s signed during his time as Arsenal […]
Morning all. What a shocker that was eh… With just seconds to go and with the scores level, England Ladies were heading into extra time in a game they really could win. Then the most awful thing happened as defender Laura Bassett headed into her own net. England had no time to recover, a bit […]
