Morning all. Big expectations, big season ahead! Arsene Wenger faced the cameras yesterday and he’s in a buoyant mood: I would say the balance of power, in the Premier League, is a bit more even than it was five or six years ago. That’s because of Financial Fair Play, added to us having more financial power […]

Morning all. Did you know that on this day in 1999, when we beat Man U 2-1 in the Community Shield at Wembley, with Kanu & Parlour both scoring? Of course you did…. Next weekend of course, we face the other Manchester side in the same Cup, a day which should show us fans just how much […]
The Australian male Bowerbird is a strange creature. He decorates his nest with all manner of items, bright in colour and gaudy to the eye. Seeing pictures of the heaps of blue plastic pieces that surround his abode might lead one to ask the question why? The answer is as simple as it is timeless. […]
Morning all. Sam Allardyce has confirmed West Ham are close to sealing a loan deal for Carl Jenkinson. Good luck to the player, I hope he has a great season and comes back a much stronger player. Here’s today’s post. These days transfer gazers seem to favour players that could play in several positions. They […]
Morning all. It all got a bit tetchy on here yesterday with the usual harmony disappearing for an hour or so in the afternoon and I hope it was a once off. The new season kicks off in just 13 days time and for once, Ivan and co are building what looks like it could […]
Morning all. Remember Ray Kennedy? Of course you do, just like you all remember the goal he scored at WHL which won us the league back in 1971… Happy 63rd birthday Ray, we’ll always love you for that moment alone. Arsene Wenger has been talking about our 4th new signing Calum Chambers: Chambers is only […]
Morning all. Sure as heck they do not but there’s a few people who are trying to make out he is…. This is what our Spanish midfield maestro has had to say: Last year maybe we didn’t quite have enough strength in depth to win the league. We had to deal with injuries to important […]
Morning all. Many stories today suggest we have agreed a deal with Southampton for Calum Chambers. The fee agreed varies from £7 million to £16 million, depending on which newspaper you read. Apparently, the player heard that we were interested and then made it clear to Southampton that he wanted to move. This means we’ll […]
Morning all. First up a bit of gossip from the newspapers surrounding our captain. Barcelona apparently are now interested in him and are ready to offer £16 million. If and it’s a big if it’s true then I’d snap their hands off and then go big and bold and sign a central defender who’s ready […]
Morning all, Do these sort of headlines from the media take Arsenal fans for gullible and naive idiots or does it just show how desperate the media are to sell a paper or get a hit on their websites. It seems it’s a daily occurrence that we read that “Arsenal lose out on deal with […]
Morning all. Yesterday morning there was headline on NN relating to us and Man City defender, Matija Nastasic. To be fair to the author, he didn’t at any time suggest or make out that Arsenal were on the verge of signing him or anything such like, he just looked at City’s situation logically. They are on […]
Last summer, as the usual suspects were trying their best to defend Arsene Wenger’s policy in the transfer window and suitability as our manager, the noisy neighbours were busy signing any 2 legged footballers Franco Baldini could get his hands. According to the know-it- all media back then, Arsenal needed to follow their path and […]
