Morning all. Mikel Arteta and Arsenal have spent the last couple of years moving older players. Aubameyang, Ozil, Kolasinac, Mustafi, Luiz, Lacazette etc. They’ve moved on players who couldn’t, or wouldn’t, buy into Mikel Arteta’s ideas so why on earth would signing Jorginho from Chelsea be in the club’s plans right now? Premier League experience, […]

Morning all. It’s happened again. Another off made to Brighton for Moises Caicedo by Arsenal, this one a reported £70 million, another rejection. Brighton want £80 million for their player according to reports so will Arsenal stump up the extra £10m, or will they walk away? Is Caicedo worth £80 million? No, never, not in […]
Morning all. Just before Arsenal kicked off against Man City, David Ornstein stole the headlines by announcing Gabriel Martinelli has agreed to stay at the club for another four and a half years. Excellent news and hopefully, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba will be next. I know a new signing or three are always exciting […]
Morning all. Mikel Arteta, from Spain to Scotland to Everton and then Arsenal. A 31st August signing back in 2011. Midfielder, vice captain and finally captain before hanging up his boots and heading to Manchester City as assistant coach to Pep Guardiola. According to reports at the time, Mikel Arteta had three options upon retirement. Manage […]
Afternoon all. Speculation is rife about Mo Elneny suffering and injury which could see him miss the rest of the season. I hope that’s not the case because with his contract expiring in the summer, it could mean we’ll not see him play for the club again. There might be an element of truth to […]
Morning all. Arsenal’s new central defender/midfielder is in the door. I’s dotted, T’s crossed and photos etc taken. I wonder if he’ll make his debut on Friday night against Man City, even if it’s just for a few minutes when we’re 3-1 up with five minutes to go. Nice thought eh. Jakub Kiwior might be […]
Morning all. Back in 2016, or rather the 2015/16 season, the media, television pundits, even football fans didn’t really believe Leicester City could win the Premier League title. As each so called ‘big club’ turned up to face them, that was the day Claudio Ranieri‘s team would stutter or stumble but they didn’t. In fact […]
Morning all. Arsenal v Man Utd, a fixture which used to bring out the best and sometimes the worst of both sets of players. It’s probably wrong of me to confess but I loved watching it but I know, sometimes certain individuals went too far. These days, this fixture hasn’t been quite as feisty but […]
Morning all. Leandro Trossard became an Arsenal player yesterday and could make his debut against Man Utd tomorrow afternoon. The transfer fee in comparison to Mudryk is irrelevant in my opinion because his move is about one thing, what will he bring to this Arsenal team for the rest of the season and those ahead. […]
Morning all. With one minute to go in the game at Selhurst Park, Man Utd, who are 1-0 up, gave away a free kick just outside their own penalty area. Michael Olise stepped up and fired a cracker past David de Gea. 1-1, two points dropped and thank you very much Patrick Vieira’s team. Rewind […]
Morning all. Yesterday, the Metropolitan Police confirmed that the idiot who kicked Aaron Ramsdale in the back at the end of Sunday’s match has been charged with assault by beating, going onto an area adjacent to a playing area and throwing a missile onto a football playing area. 35 year old Joseph Watts, from Hackney, […]
Morning all. It’s been a pretty good weekend as far as results go with Man City and Liverpool both dropping three points. Liverpool aren’t a threat for a top four place right now but I just don’t like them. Newcastle Utd and Chelsea managed to scrape three points each yesterday but the performance and result […]
