Morning all. I’m staying away from the Stan Kroenke topic after all, apart from him buying out Alisher Usmanov and the rest of the shares floating around, what impact his sole ownership might have on the club is yet to be seen. Moaning won’t change his mind anymore than the exaggerated headlines on Newsnow will. […]

Morning all. Kev left this comment late yesterday evening: Aaron Ramsey still unresolved? Reiss Nelson still unresolved? (The Sun reckon that’s about to change with him signing a new long term deal) Carl Jenkins is still not sorted? David Ospina still faffing about? Joel Campbell, where is he, let alone is he staying or going? […]
Morning all. I think most of us will agree on a few things. Going forward we are well stocked, apart from a left sided wide player as using Aubameyang there kind of defeats the object of having a clinical striker such as he is. The other side of that debate is playing wide left didn’t […]
Morning all. That’s it then, pre-season is done and dusted and now the real football begins. Although we beat Lazio quite comfortably, little can be taken from the game really as not only was it just another friendly, but a mixed bag of players too from start to finish. Perhaps for one or two it […]
Morning all. I don’t know about anyone else but I’m struggling to remove my cynical side when it comes to Arsenal players and their injuries. Kolasinac, yes, 8 – 10 weeks for him which is a huge blow to him and the team especially as Nacho Monreal has had much of a preseason, actually, I […]
Mesut Ozil has recently declared himself unavailable for selection for the German national team after claims Germany’s football association (DFB) were disrespectful and racist towards him and his heritage. While this has to be seen as a blow to Germany, especially after a disappointing World Cup campaign, it could be a blessing in disguise for […]
Morning all. Have to laugh really at the way Alexandre Lacazette has pretty much been forced to defend his place at Arsenal. The gutter media have tried to make out that since the arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Lacazette is second best, some have even gone as far to suggest he should be sold. Mind you, […]
Afternoon all. As the saying goes, better late than never and this post comes with good news. Emile Smith-Rowe has signed a new long term deal with Arsenal. Still listed as an Academy player he might be but having turned 18 Years old whilst on tour, I reckon he’ll be involved a lot with the […]
Morning all. In the words of Sokratis Papastathopoulos: I am here to show I am first a defender and after that comes everything else. Of course, you have to know how to play with the ball, in the last five or six years football has changed a lot. A lot of coaches and a lot […]
Morning all. Food for thought this morning as Potter poses the question, has much changed at the club, barring expectation? Had a long talk with my son today as our boat meandered from pub to pub on the broads and he described to me what he called the Emperor’s new clothes. He has always felt […]
Morning all. There’s a reason for sayings like ‘Old habits die hard,’ ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’ or ‘miracles don’t happen overnight’ etc etc, they haven’t just been made up for fun have they? No, they are real and that’s because new things can’t be taught in a short space of time, especially when […]
Morning all. Our lovely warm summer is soon coming to and end, or at least it’s set to have a break according to the Met Office. Today or tomorrow the storms are coming in with plenty of rain, thunder and lightening. Floods are much expected as the ground is too hard to absorb the rainfall. Be […]
