Morning all. I saw a headline from the Mirror which covered the battles between Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane. Whilst not condoning their behaviour, the passion they showed was incredible, either that or they simply just hated each other. From 1996 through to 2005, the Premier League was about us or them. Keane v Vieira, […]

Morning all. Daniel Ek is in the news once more because he’s not giving up on trying to buy Arsenal. The Mail report he’s preparing to increase his Arsenal takeover bid to more than £2bn after his opening offer of £1.8bn was rejected. The Ek camp are ‘not going anywhere and want to get a deal done’. […]
Morning all. If the last two England performances are anything to go by, Bukayo Saka could soon be back home, or at least enjoying a break from the game. Boring and uninspired, that’s England under Gareth Southgate. A bit like Arsenal last season really. Jack Grealish showed his worst traits by winning a penalty and […]
Morning all. If the Emi Buendia deal came down to money then Villa are welcome to him. If the player really wanted a move to Arsenal, he could have said no to the move to Birmingham. Sometimes, things just don’t work out. Assuming Arsenal really were in for the Norwich City player of course, after all, […]
The early promise last summer which saw us win the FA Cup and the Charity Shield, our hopes for the season just gone soon turned into disappointments. Whatever the reasons might have been, and I know we’ve already discussed some in our comments, the reality is, Arsenal finished in a position which neither you or […]
Morning all. Not every Arsenal fan is interested in what’s going on in the academy, but for those who are, Jeorge Bird reported yesterday that the club has offered professional contracts to five second-year scholars. Winger – Kido Taylor-Hart RB/CB – Daniel Oyegoke Winger/FW – Nathan Butler-Oyedeji GK – Ovie Ejeheri LB – Mazeed Ogungbo We’ve all heard of Taylor-Hart, […]
Morning all. Bukayo Saka has had a really good season for Arsenal. If one was to be super critical about his game, he doesn’t score enough goals. The same can be said of Arsenal in general though. Our young midfielder, winger/left back has been nominated for the Premier League Young Player Of The Season Award. […]
Morning all. I’ve copied this from Sky Sports, a repeat of what Granit Xhaka is reported to have told Blick: Of course I read (about the interest). But now I’m 100 per cent focused on the national team here. That’s more important than Arsenal or rumours right now. I have another two years on my contract in […]
Morning all. Some of the Arsenal players who’ve been out on loan last season shared a mixed bag of joy and disappointment. Guendouzi ended the season injured whilst Kolasinac and Mustafi suffered relegation with their club. I don’t think Torreira had the best of times at Atletico Madrid but even so, his team won La […]
Morning all. Tunisia might not be the strongest of international football teams but I bet that matters not one bit to Arsenal’s Omar Rekik who has received his first call up for his country. Having arrived at Arsenal from Hertha Berlin back in January, the 19 year old central defender, yes, another one Arsenal have on […]
Morning all. Yesterday morning IFAB announced on that following an internal meeting, the temporary amendment to the rule regarding the number of substitutions during a match has been extended for at least another 19 months. Last season, Premier League clubs voted against its continuance in England but considering the Euros take place this summer, those […]
Morning all. The only thing sweeter than watching Utd’s de Gea missing a penalty in a Europa Cup Final would be Kane missing one. I still smile when I think of Scholes missing his in our FA Cup Final win back in 2005. Arsene Wenger was the master of FA Cup trophies, Unai Emery is […]
