Morning all. I would say this international break is dragging but it’s not, not for me anyway. There’s cricket going on, the rugby World Cup and the US Open, albeit the latter has now finished, so yes, it’s been happy television viewing for me. Handy really as I’ve just had cataract surgery. Yep, me, me, […]
Morning all. Nicolas Pepe has left the club for good. Transfer exits throw up all sorts of emotions for many football fans I’m sure. Sometimes it’s relief, occasionally sadness but every now and again, for me at least, there’s a what if or if only. Then there’s why? Why did a certain player not work […]
Morning all. Day five of the international break and I’m bored already. We do it all again in October too. A ten month domestic season could really do without the additional and often meaningless fixtures. Looking at England alone, they play Scotland next week in a friendly but as every England fan knows, when these […]
https://twitter.com/lifegunnertev7/status/1698766001758670914?s=20 Morning all. An excellent compilation of Reiss Nelson’s best bits. To be fair to him, every time he’s come off the bench for Arsenal under Mikel Arteta, he’s been brilliant. Better than Martinelli? There is no right or wrong answer in my opinion because it’s subjective. Also, Nelson doesn’t get the game time Martinelli […]
Morning all. Erik ten Hag was seriously cheesed off in his post-match interview with Sky Sports yesterday. The referee and VAR lost his team three points. I thought we played a good game but everything went against us. You saw the game, it’s not offside, that is the wrong angle, then a penalty on Hojlund, […]
Morning all. Thomas Partey is out of todays game. Such news was always coming but I just didn’t expect it so early in the season. That’s the game though, any time, any day, they can strike. Hopefully it’s nothing serious although he’s already been ruled out for Ghana, according to Ghana that is who released […]
Morning all. Nothing from Arsenal on deadline day other than players leaving. I thought we might try and bring a defender in at least, even one on loan to help cover at left back but I guess if Mikel Arteta was happy to loan out Kieran Tierney, Nuno Tavares too, he believes the squad he […]
Morning all. His name is Mylo he said, my wife wouldn’t let him be called Bukayo, he added as I approached the man and his beautiful Beagle pup who I then found out was just 17 weeks old. His Arsenal logo’d top he was wearing gave him away. “What do you think of Thomas Partey […]
Morning all. Manchester City’s Erling Haaland won the PFA men’s Players’ Player of the Year award, with Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka named Young Player of the Year.He was also nominated for the young player of the year prize, but it was our very own Bukayo Saka who won that after he scored 14 goals and contributed […]
Morning all. After the 2-2 draw at home to Fulham, Mikel Arteta said: Well, obviously within the first minute you made the mistake that we made and you just give a goal to the opponent, the game becomes much more difficult. The reaction straight after that even in the first half with the amount of […]
Morning all. Yesterday, David Ornstein announced on Twitter that a deal for Flo Balogun to join Monaco was very close and he could be set for a medical this weekend. Also, Kieran Tierney is set to join Seville on loan for the season. There’s no option to buy the player but his wages will be […]
