Morning all. Three goals and a clean sheet, what’s not to be happy about after our final pre-season fixture of the summer. Viktor Gyokeres scored our opening goal with a thunderous header and then Bukayo Saka, with the assist from Gabriel Martinelli, tucked home our second. Late in the second half, Kai Havertz made […]

Morning all. So, this is it then, our final pre-season fixture before the 2025/06 Premier League kicks off next weekend. The summer has seen Arsenal finally sign a striker and a winger. Oh, and a central defender, two central midfielders and a goalkeeper. Plus, Gabriel, Myles Lewis-Skelly and now, Ethan Nwaneri have signed new […]
Morning all. Kev has very kindly given his thoughts on last night’s 3-2 defeat to Villarreal. With the golden money trail between the Saudi ‘Public Investment Fund’ and Liverpool making all the headlines; Nunez to Saudi, Isak to Liverpool, Newcastle free of PSR, plus the transfer of Sesko to Manchester United or possibly Newcastle […]
Morning all. I have a confession to make. When I first clapped eyes on our new third kit, I thought it was a cream colour which is why I didn’t like it but it’s white. At least I think it’s white. Noni Madueke has joined with his new teammates and yesterday, he got stuck […]
Morning all. I would question what Arsenal and Adidas were thinking when they came up with the design for our 2025/26 third kit but I know the answer because it’s explained on Arsenal.com Our 2025/26 adidas third shirt channels the spirit of Highbury to inspire the next generation of our supporters. Marking the 20th […]
Morning all. With Liverpool’s clear interest in Isak, the general consensus in the media is that the Merseyside club will run away with a second Premier League title. Isak, Ekitike and Salah will blow opposition teams aside with ease. A strange view I think as Isak, as good as he is, hasn’t lifted the […]
Morning all. I didn’t see all of the game but I’m not too disappointed about that. I know it’s only pre-season and yesterday’s final fixture in Asia was little other than a training session but to be honest, the performance was just a rinse and repeat of a number of games we’ve seen before. […]
Afternoon guys. An earlier than usual north London derby for the season kicks off in less than an hours time. The fixture also brings an end to Arsenal’s pre-season tour of Asia. On a first north London derby abroad, Mikel Arteta said: Well, a great idea. I think to bring football tradition, a rivalry, […]
Morning all. A simple question this morning, inspired by Potter. Do Arsenal need Eze? With 134 appearances for Crystal Palace behind him, he’s scored 34 Goals. He’s a midfielder/winger, admittedly, a left sided player which is our only weak spot in my opinion. As far as central midfield goes, we’re suddenly well stocked with […]
Morning all. Kev has written yesterday’s match review but before that, I would just like to say a huge congratulations to the England women for winning the Euros for the second time running. From before the tournament kicked off, Sarina Wiegman and her squad had to deal with a lot all of which you […]
Morning all. Alleluia! Arsenal have finally signed a goal scoring machine. A proper striker rather than a winger come striker or a midfielder come striker. A 6’ 2” international striker who scores goals for fun!! He’s 27 years old, so no spring chicken when it comes to how Arsenal have usually operated under Mikel […]
Morning all. It’s funny how when the story about a petition against the signing of Noni, it spread like wildfire yet when Declan Rice made his feelings clear on our fourth summer signing, I don’t think his words travelled much further than Arsenal.com. Positivity doesn’t suit the Arsenal agenda does it? I doubt […]
