Jurrien Timber is back with Netherlands having missed the Euros and most of Arsenal’s season. Ronald Koeman’s team will face Bosnia and Herzegovina and Germany. He could be up against Kai […]

Thursday September 19th Atalanta Away (between away fixtures against Totts and Man City) Tuesday October 1st 2024 PSG Home (between two home games, Leicester City and Southampton) Tuesday October 22nd Shakhtar Donetsk Home (between away Bournemouth and home […]
Morning all. Having not seen the entire game it’s hard to write much about it but by all accounts, we could have been at least two goals ahead before the sending off of Rice. We even had two really good opportunities to nick all three points late in the second half too but couldn’t take […]
Morning all. Thank goodness the transfer window is shut for the next four months. Deadline day saw Brazilian goalkeeper Neto join us from Bournemouth on a season long loan and then very late in the day, Raheem Sterling joined Arsenal on loan for the season. Edu admitted in an interview last night that Sterling wasn’t […]
Morning all. At 11pm this evening, the transfer window slams shut. I’ve no idea what we as Arsenal fans can expect today but I can’t imagine it’ll be a lot. Bournemouth keeper Neto has agreed to move to Arsenal according to Sky Sports and The Athletic but whether that’s instead of Joan Garcia or as […]
Morning all. Something to make you smile I hope. This is our local football pitch, or rather the lines marked out before this weekends game. Aaron Ramsdale is a medical away from leaving Arsenal after Southampton agreed to sign him on a permanent basis for £25 million. (David Ornstein) The same report suggests that Arsenal […]
Morning all. Arsenal shocked the world of football yesterday afternoon by announcing the permanent signing of Mikel Merino. So much has been written about him already there’s very little to add other than he’s just what Arsenal need right now. Not just a body but an excellent player who in the summer, helped his Spanish […]
Morning all. Eddie Nketiah looks set to become a Crystal Palace player. I’ve lost count of how many summers they’ve been chasing him for but this time, it seems they’re ready to stump up the kind of money Arsenal are willing to accept for him. £25m plus add ons apparently which is cheap really considering […]
Morning all. How many times were we told that Aston Villa beat us twice last season by the Sky Sports commentary team? I’m sure I even saw a screen banner stating that very fact too before the game kicked off. What about afterwards when Leandro Trossard was talking to the pundits, how many times was […]
Morning all. It looks like the Mikel Merino saga could be over within hours after the player reportedly underwent a medical at Arsenal yesterday. This deal must be one of the longest ones to get over the line in transfer history. It certainly feels that way. Out of the blue, yesterday afternoon David Ornstein reported […]
Morning all. There is an interview with Ben White on Arsenal.com. We’re not worried about anyone else, what they’re doing, or sending messages. We’ve got to continue to do what we’ve been doing and reach higher levels as a team. If we play the way we can, we’ll beat anyone. When asked about Manchester City, […]
Morning all. For years Arsenal has had what I would call an under tall squad. When Arsene Wenger’s team was in its pomp, the likes of Petit, Vieira, Edu, Campbell, Toure, Henry, Keown, Adams etc stood tall. Literally. Now we’re going, or rather we’ve gone, big again. Partey, Rice, Havertz, Calafiori, Saliba, Kiwior, Gabriel and […]
