Morning all. I didn’t watch much of the Charity Shield final yesterday afternoon but apparently Liverpool fans booed the national anthem and Palace fans were noisy during the minutes silence in memory of Jota and his brother. Shame on them I say. It was slightly amusing to see Liverpool the penalty shootout though. You’d […]

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 […]
