Morning all. As Arsene Wenger confirmed Jack Wilshere missed out yesterday through injury, another of our walking wounded from last season, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, popped up with a superb goal in the 3-1 victory over a team which I only heard of when we signed Carlos Vela and a club which I’d long since forgotten about […]

Morning all. Arsene Wenger has been talking transfers, yet again. But that’s all he seems to be doing, talking but not doing. I’m sure other people are involved in any deals the club are trying to secure but they are clearly as inefficient as the Frenchman. Whilst Arsene and the boys are having fun in […]
Morning all. Before you get excited, the winger come striker, come bench warmer at best, was talking about his future when his days in the PL are done. Some might say that day is already here.. When asked about the football in the MLS and whether it’s something he’d one day consider, ‘It’s something you […]
Morning all. When Sky Sports get involved in a transfer story, there’s often a little more truth in it than rubbish written in the tabloids and that’s exactly what the German outlet has done. Sky Germany report that while no concrete offer has been made, Arsenal are in talks with Valencia in hope of signing their defender […]
Morning all. I know we need to take what’s written in the back pages with a large pinch of salt, especially when it’s written in the Daily Star, but it seems Francis Coquelin has been training playing at centre-back. This news is rewritten from a quote on Arsenal Snapchat: “I’ve been playing centre back and […]
Morning all. The squad is in the US of A, the friendly against the MLS All-Stars takes place in the early hours of Friday morning and Sky Sports are covering it. I think that’s one for recording before viewing at a sensible time of the day…. Arsene held his press conference yesterday and inevitably he was fired […]
Success for Leicester last season would almost certainly have been qualification for Europe. Any of their directors and players, even Ranieri himself, would have happily taken that on the first day of the season. Yet they won the title and in doing so shamed many other clubs who had spent enormous sums in an effort […]
Morning all. So the big news yesterday, well, the big rumour yesterday was all about Riyad Mahrez and how Arsenal are hoping to sign him this summer. Leicester boss Ranieri has said his player is going nowhere and in any case, if he moved to North London, he might find himself on the bench. I totally disagree. […]
Morning all. There’s little point in going into great detail about last nights draw with Lens as it’s the first game of the pre-season. Until the league campaign kicks off it’s all about the players getting match fit which is a good job really as there wasn’t much to rave about the match. A defensive […]
Morning all. The pre-season finally kicks off today with a friendly against Lens in France. A few players are missing like Ozil, Koscielny, Alexis, Xhaka, Cech and Bellerin but the rest should be ready for tough fixture in the heat. Jeff Reine-Adelaide, Matt Macey, Krystian Bielik, Reiss Nelson, Marcus McGuane, Ben Sheaf, Julio Pleguezuelo, Stephy Mavididi, […]
Arsene Wenger and Arsenal received a welcome piece of good news in the last few days, as Juventus reportedly informed compatriots Napoli that they will not be paying the release clause for the transfer of Gonzalo Higuain. Both Arsenal and the Italian champions have been heavily linked with the former Real Madrid man, with Wenger […]
Morning all. Arsenal have finally got their man. After upping the offer to Bolton a bit, the northern club has now accepted a bid for Englishman Rob Holding. While this signing will not excite every Arsenal fan, it’s best to remember where the neighbours signed Deli Ali from before writing him off. Holding is equally […]
