The BBC had to apologise for Heather Watson’s ‘colourful language’ – the ‘F’ word! Australian Nick Kyrgios was heard muttering ‘dirty scum’ during his […]

Good morning you lovely people! Ding Dong, Petr Cech is an Arsenal player! Happy? You bet I am…. What is there really to say? Well some people say Petr Cech isn’t the keeper he used to be…. Some people say he wasn’t a priority… But then some, mainly on the Chesea side of the fence, […]
Morning all. The official site has done it again and without knowing, helped me to write a post for the third day running. Pre-season. What’s it all about? Getting fit is the major object as is integrating new players (cough) and working out how to approach the new season but for some, it’s about more, […]
Morning all. Only one place to start for me today and that’s with the Women’s World Cup and a huge well done to England who during the early hours of this morning defeated Canada 2-1 in front of 54,000 fans. Most I hasten to add were in support of the hosts, Canada. England finally have […]
Morning all. Seems the official website are struggling as much as we writers are in the Arsenal blog world. ‘Vote for the best headed goal’? What’s that all about eh? One things for sure I thought, Thierry Henry won’t be up then among the voting options as he didn’t do heading much did he? He […]
Morning all. Very little in the news today, well apart for Petr Cech is reportedly to be having a medical today. If true, let’s hope he passes it… Danny Welbeck has been talking to the official site about how Osgood-Schlatter disease held up his early footballing career. Not that’s not a disease which means he […]
Morning all. Chile are through to the Copa America semi-finals after a 1-0 victory over Uruguay. A tasty game by the sounds of it as Cavani and Fucile were both sent off, the latter for a horror challenge on Alexis Sanchez! Qpr ‘reject’ Mauricio Isla grabbed the only goal late on in the game but that was […]
Who’d have thought following a defeat in the Capital One cup in the cold night of 11 Dec 2012 that Arsene Wenger would go on to become the first post-war manager to win the FA cup for a sixth time? Casting my mind back then, the media were calling for the board not to renew Arsene’s […]
Morning all. No, I don’t mean have one good season then fade away, I mean win the league at the first attempt for the club he’s about to join……? Maybe, just maybe. I don’t know many Arsenal fans who think that signing Petr Cech would be anything other than great news but it’s not done yet: […]
Morning all. The ‘will he, won’t he’ saga goes on….. Many of us think the signing of Petr Cech will happen over the next few days, some of us still believe the dwarf will stand in the way. Sky Sports write: Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is closing in on a move to Premier League rivals […]
Morning all. Ok, tongue in cheek as reports yesterday suggested the under tall Portuguese man wants to sign Alex Song. He’s classed as home-grown having been with Arsenal for so long and apparently Man City are interested as well. Has the world finally gone mad? Seriously, all this ‘home-grown’ stuff isn’t going to work is […]
Morning all. On this very day twenty years ago, Dennis Bergkamp arrived at Arsenal for a British record of £7.5 million. He went onto make 423 appearances for the Club between 1995 and 2006, scoring 120 goals – including some absolute classics. Marco Van Basten: ‘If Ryan Giggs is worth £20 million, Dennis Bergkamp is worth […]
