Morning all. According to the rumours which have been circulating for a while now, Mikel Arteta wants to sign a goalkeeper, creative midfielder and a striker. This is only my opinion but unless the goalkeeper is physically stronger, better with the ball at his feet, a better shot stopper than Bernd Leno, it’s likely the […]

Morning all. Jamie Carragher couldn’t wait to tell the world that Arsenal were bullied when Brentford scored their second goal. Same old, same old he said or something like that, the glee in his voice obvious. A better pundit would have highlighted how Bernd Leno was being grappled as he tried to do his job. […]
Morning all. During Mikel Arteta’s press conference, he hinted at more signings to come, possibly during the final week of the transfer window when he expects things to get much busier than they have been. Logic suggests he right, certainly for clubs who either don’t have a lot of cash, or need to sell players […]
Morning all. Anyone with an ounce of common sense will know that Arsenal aren’t in a position to the kind of money needed to overhaul the squad. But, anyone with an ounce of common sense will know that Arsenal can not afford to go into the new season without a proper goalkeeper to challenge Bernd […]
Morning all. Kev and I have scrabbled this one together. I don’t like our third kit at all and I certainly wouldn’t buy one. It’s dark, drab and blue. Thanks goodness it’s the third kit so we shouldn’t see the guys wearing it too often. Love our second kit though. The yellow has so much […]
Morning all. Firstly, despite the many many years of fierce rivalry between Toots and Arsenal, the home fans showed a bit of class yesterday when Bukayo Saka came on from the bench. Cheers not jeers rung around the stadium for the young Arsenal man who’d been subjected to some ghastly comments on social media not […]
Morning all. The Aaron Ramsdale to Arsenal stories carry on and I’m not at all surprised. Arsenal need a goalkeeper and not just someone who’s prepared to accept he’s our number two. Let’s face it, if Arsenal spend big on a keeper, there’s no way Mikel Arteta intends for him to be the number two […]
Bukayo Saka reads messages of support from football fans and non football fans. What a lovely moment #lovealwayswins #BS7 #arsenal ❤️ pic.twitter.com/QaME411Mom — Stuart MacFarlane (@Stuart_PhotoAFC) August 4, 2021 Morning all. The boy is back, except he’s a boy no longer. He’s our number 7, one of the most important players at the club. I […]
Morning all. A new four year deal for Granit Xhaka is the rumour on NN. Him staying is fine by me but why such a long deal? He’s 29 years old next month, meaning he’ll be 33 years old when his contract expires. It’s an odd decision made by the club I think but that’s […]
Morning all. Three key deals have now been sorted out by Arsenal this summer. Folarin Balogun, Emile Smith Rowe and now, Kido Taylor-Hart. Whilst Ben White, Sambi Lokonga and Nuno Tavares are great additions to the squad, keeping our own is crucial. Even those who might not go on to have a career at Arsenal, […]
Morning all. The rubbish news after the match came from Mikel Arteta: I just had a talk with the doctor. He’s going to have a scan tomorrow and at the moment it’s not looking good because he was in pain and he could not continue which, for Thomas, is pretty unusual. Thomas Partey has been excellent […]
Morning all. Two years ago today, Arsenal broke their own transfer fee record by signing Nicolas Pepe for £70 odd million pounds. I think it’s fair to say he’s struggled to make a big impact in England. However, towards the end of last season, he showed glimpses of being the kind of player we probably […]
