Morning all. Kev has kindly reviewed yesterday’s friendly fixture. Max Allegri, the experienced Italian coach, sent out a strong, disciplined and defensively organised AC Milan team to face the Gunners in Singapore yesterday. Despite a sizeable advantage in goalscoring opportunities for the Arsenal, just the one goal divided the two teams […]

Morning all. What is there not to love about Arsenal’s new kit? Ok, the colour, I detest blue! Where’s the yellow gone Adidas? Seriously, it’s a great design which I believe the players will be wearing today in the game against AC Milan. Back to last night though and another late late show from […]
Morning all. It’s hard to understand why in 2025, racism is still prevalent in this world and in sport. England’s Jess Carter being the latest victim to online abuse. Yes, she had a poor game against Sweden, certainly by her standards but that had nothing to do with the colour of her skin! Other […]
Morning all. After a few days of training in the Spanish sunshine, Mikel Arteta and the players have travelled to Asia where Arsenal’s preparations for the 2025/26 season go up a level. The fixtures the boys play out in Asia might be ‘friendlies’ but I’m sure friendliness will go out the window when […]
Morning all. New signings are meant to be exciting but these days it’s more of a case of, “ok, who’s next”?That’s not say I’m not pleased Arsenal are bolstering the squad but because this, like every other transfer made these days, has been talked about many times long before the player pops up on […]
Morning all. What a night in the women’s Euros, certainly for England who went from looking down and out of the competition to being involved in a penalty shootout which a few Sweden and England players will want to forget. England women were 2-0 down with 20 minutes of ordinary time to […]
Morning all. I can feel a new signing announcement coming today. Who though I don’t know but I’d hazard a guess at Noni Maduke as this story has been doing the rounds for a while now. If he does sign, he won’t be heading out to Asia with the rest of the squad because […]
Afternoon guys. Chukwunonso Azuka Tristan”Noni” Madueke – born 10 March 2002, ex Crystal Palace, Totts, PSV and Chelsea winger is now an Arsenal player. To suggest his move to Arsenal has divided fans opinion is a bit of an understatement. Rumours of graffiti at The Emirates along with a petition opposed to this […]
Morning all. I suggested yesterday that when it came to Arsenal’s chase for Viktor Gyokeres, someone or something had to give. Well, that’s exactly what seems to have happened because now, Arsenal are in the process of completing a deal to sign Viktor Gyokeres after taking final steps in negotiations with Sporting CP for […]
Morning all. The hunt for a striker goes on for Arsenal. Viktor Gyokeres seemed to be the favourite, according to the media anyway but who knows what the truth is? I’d like to think Andrea Berta does and that very soon, a deal is struck. The worst case scenario would be going into […]
Morning all. The thought of Ethan Nwaneri rejecting his boyhood club is something I’m trying not to think about. But it’s there, niggling away at the back of my mind. Born and bed in North London, Nwaneri joined the Arsenal Academy at 8 years old. His Premier League debut against Brentford on 18 September […]
Morning all. It’s no secret that Mikel Arteta’s teams have often struggled against opponents who deploy a low block. Or teams who are solid in defence, good on the break. Finding a way to rectify this has no doubt been in Mikel Arteta’s mind for a while. Watching us huff and puff in and […]
