Morning all. Following the 2-1 defeat to Lyon yesterday, a couple of hours after the women had lost their friendly too, Unai Emery was asked whether Arsenal should buy more defenders rather than attacking players: We are deciding how we can improve. At the beginning we were thinking to do one player to achieve […]

Morning all. I always believed that if one day Ryan Shawcross suffered a serious injury I’d celebrate. Not literally of course but in a smug kind of way. What he did to Aaron Ramsey deserved a bit of karma in my book but having seen him foot get stuck in the turf, his ankle bent […]
Morning all. If what’s been written in nearly every newspaper over the last few weeks is true, Arsenal have dealt a double blow to the noisy neighbours. Toots were after both William Saliba and Dani Ceballos, yet both are now Arsenal players. One won’t arrive until next summer which is no good to us this […]
Morning all. The bad news from our 2-2 draw with Real Madrid is the injury to Marco Asensio. If it’s serious and he’s out long term, it could put an end to us signing Cebellos. Rotten news if it pans out that way so fingers crossed Assensio is ok. Mustafi and AMN are struggling with […]
Morning all. I can’t remember which beer was on sale the last time I was at The Emirates. Probably that ghastly Fosters or something similar. Thinking about it, there’s nothing similar to Fosters really unless you’re into drinking washing up water. Ok, each to there own I know, I’m sure some people love it. […]
Morning all. Last nights match must have been a tough workout for the players. It was hot, humid and hard graft. More minutes for the younger players, more headaches for Unai Emery. Martinez looked good, Eddie scored twice and Willock too found the back of the net. Our Spanish head coach has a lot of […]
Morning all. It wasn’t so long ago that Arsenal seldom stepped outside Europe for pre-season. We’d play sides which gave us a good workout fitness wise, but more often than not, not a real physical test. I don’t mean a good kicking, I mean in every department. Test our level of defending, our abilities going […]
Morning all. I know we touched on this subject last month but after Koscielny refused to go on tour, Arsenal are very likely to need a new captain. I think if every Arsenal fan far and wide had a vote, the majority would like to see Granit Xhaka playing for any club other than […]
Morning all. Arsenal fans spoke, Josh Kroenke has replied in an interview which Sky Sports have published. He’s also put pen to paper, making it clear that he and his family aren’t just in this for fun. We should be ‘excited’ he said as he confirmed Raul and co are in the process of trying […]
Morning all. I’m late to the party but as the saying goes, better late than never. #WeCareDoYou Is alive and kicking as Arsenal fans are finally reacting to what has been festering for a while. The Arsenal and how it’s become a club barely recognisable to the one which bossed Highbury. Call me old-fashioned but […]
Morning all. Laurent Koscielny refusing to travel with the squad to the USA has certainly got tongues wagging. Wrighty has had his say, most Arsenal related blogs NewsNow and their followers have had theirs, as have the media/journos etc. Inevitable really as it’s a big story and one which makes Arsenal look weak, or strong, […]
Morning all. Rob Holding back in training is a huge boost to the squad. I don’t think anyone could underestimate how important he was to our defence before he suffered injury thanks to that horrid bloke Marcus Rashford. He might be a really nice guy in real life but as a footballer, horrid. But […]
