Morning guys. July has arrived with a bang. First up we offered £40 million for Wilfried Zaha, a player media outlets such as Sky Sports News suggest Crystal Palace Value at £100 million and then surprise surprise, the following day, being yesterday, Arsenal announce our first summer signing. Personally, I think Palace are having a […]

Morning guys. Absolutely loving the new kit. Great to see Adidas back at Arsenal and good riddance to Puma I say. Hopefully this is the start of better times for Arsenal. Feel good, play good ‘they day’ although my shiny football boots and well pressed kit didn’t do me much good….. It’s the 1st […]
Morning all. A simple routine, yet so effective. A corner played into the middle of the pitch, just outside the penalty area. A superb strike by Lucy Bronze and it was 3-0 to England. I thought England’s women were excellent at times but sloppy too when it came to passing the ball around. Something […]
Morning guys. Still hitting the F5 on NN are you, or spinning that little update arrow round every five minutes on your latest hand held gadget? Don’t bother as most of it is made up, exaggerated or just recycled stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I’m big on recycling and certainly do all I can to […]
Morning all. We didn’t get the much predicted storms in West Berkshire, or if we did, I slept right through them. Plenty of rain though, which I hope disappears a lot quicker than it arrived yesterday after black thundery clouds filled the skies from mid afternoon onwards. There’s little transfer news on the Arsenal front. […]
Morning all. England didn’t last long in their fight to win UEFA Under 21’s European Championships. Having been beaten by France in their opening match, they needed to win their second against Romania but got battered 4-2. Tournament over, although I think they have a dead rubber to play before heading home. Riess Nelson hasn’t […]
Morning all. What a slow summer we’re having as far as transfers go. Lots of rumours which appear nothing more than that, rumours. It’s still early though and the transfer window has been relatively quiet for Premier League clubs. Certainly the top half of the table. Apart from City and Liverpool, we’re among a few […]
Morning all. The Mirror suggest Atletico Madrid want Granit Xhaka and they’re ‘pushing hard to get him’ – their words not mine, written in today’s online version. They say our Swiss midfielder, valued more than the £35m we paid for him, is seen as the ideal replacement for Rodri who’s linked with a move to […]
Morning all. It’s been confirmed at last, Freddie and Steve Bould are swapping job roles which I’d imagine is good for both of our old players. For the current and future players too as Freddie will be there to help those he did so well with last season, progress into the first team. He’ll know […]
Morning all. Alexis Claude-Maurice is a man in demand with a massive eleven clubs chasing his signature this summer. Reports suggest we’re one of them along with Borussia Monchengladbach, RB Leipzig, Lyon, Lille, Monaco, Marseille, Sevilla, Brighton, Newcastle United and West Ham all want him this summer. The French under 21 international is valued around £7 […]
Morning all. Well done England Women. A win over Argentina which secured their place in the next round of the World Cup. A long way to go yet and much improvement needed if they are to win this competition. Hopefully they’ll peak at the right time. A return to Champions League Football by winning […]
Morning all. The Women’s World Cup is in full flow and so far, it’s produced some really good games. Why wouldn’t it though, just because the game has been associated with men until recent years, certainly at the level it’s at now, it doesn’t mean the fairer sex can’t play to a high standard. When […]
