Morning all. Italian football journalist Emanuele Giulianelli has taken the Benzema story to another level. Not only has he predicted we’ll sign the Madrid player, he’s now said the deal will be closed today for £35 million. Benzema will sign a four year deal on £120,000 a week. That price has come down a bit eh, but […]

Morning all. Poor old Jack Wilshere has reportedly suffered a hairline fracture of his left fibula, an injury which could keep him away from the game for months. Three months at least apparently if he requires surgery, around eight weeks if he doesn’t. Apparently Gabriel was the man responsible after a tough tackle. That’s life! […]
Morning all. Apart from the stories suggesting Jack Wilshere could miss a month of football due to injury and Alexis Sanchez returns to training today, there’s not a lot of news around to get stuck into. Even the transfer rumour mill has gone quiet these days, well apart from the Benzema saga which is boring […]
Morning all, A bit of fun to kick off today. Does anyone know where this is located? No? What about this? Or this? Finally, this? One of you must know….. Onto the football stuff, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has hit back at that buffoon Roy Keane who suggested that our players are too interested in their own bodies […]
Morning all.. It was only a friendly right? Meant nothing really did it? Just another pre-season match to gain fitness, right? The result didn’t really matter either did it? Neither did the trophy at the end as it was only the Charity Shield right? Rubbish, every single answer to the questions above is was a […]
Morning all. Who nicked those two months then? It seems like only yesterday that Mikel Arteta was lifting the FA Cup for a second time at Wembley yet here we are, back to the same big stadium for the Premier League curtain raiser, the Charity Shield or whatever it’s called these days. This time last […]
Morning all. Great news yesterday as far as I was concerned, as both Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla penned new deals. No doubt they’ll be questions raised over the reported £140,000 a week salary for Theo, which is up there with Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez but there must be a reason Arsenal were prepared to […]
Morning all. Well thanks Kev, how am I supposed to follow that post from yesterday eh…… Kev is right, Arsenal FC are a club steeped in history and a club which does ‘stuff’ the right way. A club with class above and beyond all others. But perhaps Arsenal have not been honest enough since we […]
Morning all. A post from AllezKev today: Time is the most valuable commodity that any manager, especially among the top teams, can have. Owners, particularly foreign owners, expect instant results to justify the massive investments that they make. There is also the ‘ego factor’ as many of these owners are not used too, and will not […]
Morning all. After Mourinho’s little jibe about the amount of money Arsenal have spent over the last three seasons, suggesting we as a club had spent more than his, Sky Sports did get their calculator out and did prove a surprise, well, not for all. Chelsea: 2013/14: Andre Schurrle £18m, Marco van Ginkel £8m, Cristian […]
Morning all. What is about football that seems to raise the temperature of us all, especially around this time of the year when the transfer window is open? Well I guess we want Arsenal to be competitive, really competitive and make sure we start the season with a squad that be truly competitive! Heck no, […]
Morning all. Well that was all very different to Saturdays 6-0 drubbing of Lyon. Wolfsburg were more disciplined defensively, quite rough too at times especially with Jack Wilshere but eventually, one slick move opened the door and that was enough to win the game. The German side had the better of the opening stages of the game […]
