Self isolation, social distancing, Coronavirus. None of it stops the transfer rumour mill or as it should be known, the twilight zone. Despite suggestions that some Premier League clubs like Burnley for example are in serious trouble, we are still getting crazy agent/family inspired stories picked up and repeated ad nauseam on our favourite […]

Yes, it’s back to work they go, no bucket and spade or however the adaptation of the Dwarf song you once sang went, but instead it’ll be fitness and social distancing which I couldn’t make rhyme. The players are heading back to training this week, kind of. According to reports from Sky Sports. That […]
The trouble with this lockdown and having too much time to think, I often find myself wondering when, or even if, Arsenal will ever get close to replicating the kind of football teams in the past have played. The strength and discipline in the defence under George Graham, the flair, muscle and pace […]
I read read an article in the Athletic yesterday which related to out old Brazilian midfielder. Not Gilberto but Denilson who was just one of many young overseas players to arrive at Arsenal during the Arsene Wenger reign and it made me think about how much we expect from them. Too much perhaps. I […]
What do we as Arsenal fans expect from our club over the next 18 months and in particular next season? For me, it’s the gradual continuation of the progress we’ve seen from our squad as Mikel Arteta and his coaches have worked with them and the hope, given the parlous financial […]
Another day in this strange Covid world we’re living in right now and there’s no sign of things changing any time soon. Certainly not for sport. This morning I read that the Dutch FA have all but given up on their footballing season coming to a natural conclusion as it “intends not to continue” the Eredivisie […]
Yesterday evening Arsenal FC released a statement which read: We are pleased to announce that we have reached a voluntary agreement with our first-team players, head coach and core coaching staff to help support the club at this critical time. The move follows positive and constructive discussions. In these conversations there […]
I’m feeling lazy this morning so I’m cheating. Thanks to The Mirror, here is a list of all the Premier League players who’ll be out of contract on the 30th June 2020 and there’s a lot. Arsenal – None Aston Villa – Borja Baston, Keinan Davis Bournemouth – Ryan Fraser, Jordon […]
Signed by Man City, pretty much rejected by them too as instead of representing the blue club of Manchester, three loans came Pablo Mari’s way. Girona, NAC and lastly Deportivo La Coruna before a permanent move to Flamengo followed in the summer of 2019. Not that he stayed there long either because Arsenal came […]
Pay cuts, will this season ever end, will the transfer window begin let alone end and will next season start on time. Questions which won’t go away. Answers which never seem to arrive. How can they when normal everyday movement is restricted. Rightly so of course and I feel the need to say that […]
That’s exactly what I’ll be doing for the next three weeks after government here in the UK announced that there will be no lifting of any lockdown restrictions for the foreseeable. How can there be when so many lives are still being lost and no vaccination has been discovered? That date will take us […]
When the headlines first came out about Arsenal and the five point pay reduction plan, it’s fair to say that most of us on here were in support of it. However, we pretty much agreed that if players were expected to accept a reduction in salary, then so should the management team. Well, they […]
