Morning all. As Eberechi Eze cooly wandered down the tunnel at The Emirates last Saturday evening, like every other Arsenal fan I’m sure, I thought he must be the last signing of the summer. Seven is one transfer window is the kind numbers Chelsea deal in, not Arsenal. Yet signing number eight seems imminent. […]

Morning all. Well that was funny wasn’t it? Utd 2-0 down against League Two club Grimsby Town, 2-2 at full time and then knocked out of the League Cup on penalties. Poor old Chido Obi isn’t getting any minutes this season, Heaven played on the left of a back three and was oiked off just […]
Morning all. The Athletic report that sources with knowledge of Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard’s fitness situation have said that following scans on both players, neither injury is as serious as first feared. Weeks rather than months for the Englishman, whilst our captain could be fit to face Liverpool on Sunday. After a huge spending […]
Morning all. Whilst I think it’s only right for fans and “others” to expect Arsenal to have a better season than last because of the signings the club has made this summer, the “no excuses” headlines and comments made in the media are way off the mark in my opinion. Mikel Arteta has never been […]
Morning all. It was all going on at Arsenal yesterday. Josh Kroenke was in town in to watch the early evening game against Leeds. Before though, he spoke to Arsenal Media about the success in the women’s game with Arsenal winning the Champions League and England the Euros. He thanked the fans for their support, […]
Morning all. When Mikel Arteta was asked if he is now armed with the most complete squad of his near seven-year tenure, he replied: In terms of numbers and quality, yes for sure. When you shake the tree and bring in more players, there are always things that can happen. The spirit of that is […]
Afternoon all. Unless you were hoping for the absolute “perfect” squad, I think Arsenal fans might just be pretty chuffed with what Arsenal have done in the transfer window this summer. Every squad needs a mix of players, a balance. Grafters, skill, strength, intelligence and desire. The ability to be smart and at times, […]
Morning all. Yesterday evening, Arsenal performed a u-turn quicker than I used to in my Toyota iQ! Don’t even think about mocking the car because it was a great little runner and speedy too. If it wasn’t for the fact that Toyota stopped producing them, I’d still have one today. Anyway, just as Totts thought […]
Morning all. A number of Arsenal players picked up awards last night with Declan Rice, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes were named in the PFA team of the year which says a lot about where Arsenal’s strengths were last season. In the women’s game, Mariona Caldentey, Emily Fox, Kim Little and Alessia Russo were […]
Morning all. I’ll get the pleasantries out of the way, two of Utd’s summer signings, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha caused us problems. Admittedly, some of those problems were of our own making as our full backs pushed too high up the pitch or got caught out of position, especially Riccardo Calafiori, but nevertheless Utd […]
Morning all. Here we go then. Arsenal’s 2025/26 campaign kicks off this afternoon in Manchester. There was a time when the winners of the Utd and Arsenal battle would pretty much decide which club would win the league. It was a battle like no other both on the pitch and off it. The feisty […]
Morning all. The 2025/26 Premier League season kicked off last night with Liverpool v Bournemouth. Slot’s side won 4-2 but for much of the game, Bournemouth gave them plenty to be concerned about. With better finishing, my new local club would have left Anfield with at least a point. I thought Anthony Taylor and […]
