Morning all, Before the main post, a little bit of gossip…. According to The Daily Star, we are about to try and lure Brazil international Bernard to the Premier League. He’s 20 years old, very nippy and rumour is, he’s on the move. Joel Campbell yesterday confirmed that he’s finally been granted a work permit which […]

Morning all, What a day yesterday was…….. England secured the first test in the Ashes series, just! Then within minutes, Arsenal kicked off their first pre-season match which I sat and watched with a couple of friends who don’t have ESPN. I signed up on Saturday, just so I could watch this tour… Not long […]
Morning all, There’s an old saying – the camera never lies…… I’m sure everyone has seen the vast number of photographs of the players/staff on tour and don’t they all look happy? Arsene Wenger is calm and everything he says is positive. Just as it has been from Ivan Gazidis. They have both now told […]
Morning all, So the boys have landed safe and sound and it’s all systems go as we prepare for our first friendly tomorrow. But, instead of talking about what this tour has in store for our players, the first question asked of Arsene was all about Suarez and whether or not we really are prepared […]
The 2013/14 season beckons, and unlike the several seasons prior, there are several reasons to feel optimistic. The bookies fancy us to splash the cash on quality and let’s be brutally honest, they have never fancied us to do that before. There has to be something in that. Most bookies aren’t mugs. Current odds: Gonzalo […]
Morning all, Another young one seems on his way out as Milwall have given a trial to Arsenal forward Nigel Neita and practically all the newspapers report that Arsenal are going to try and get Fabregas back. £25 million is the amount we have to pay, not a penny more or a penny less and if […]
Morning all, After all the ‘new kit revealed’ headlines, yesterday the club confirmed and released the new away kit and I for one, think it’s stunningly good! What a picture that is… Funny how all the first team British players are the ‘chosen ones’….. Wonder how many people will criticise Arsenal, an English club for […]
Morning all, So the mouthpiece for Real Madrid has denied that any deal is close between them and us for Higuain. Media spin again then, or is the mouthpiece talking with forked-tongue? Other news surrounds Atlético Nacional’s defensive midfielder Sebastián Pérez. He’s reportedly been offered a trial with us and if all goes well, he could […]
Morning all, Just a couple of days ago I posted a photograph from the official site showing a lonely looking Chamakh on the training ground. As he stood watching, the rest of the players looked happy and pleased to be back together again, Chamakh looked like an outcast on his own. Across the ocean and […]
Morning all, Gervais Lombe Yao Kouassi, fondly known as Gervinho…. The man from Ivory Coast divides fan opinion. I’m no one of his fans, in fact he frustrates the heck out of me. There is no doubting he has a bit of pace, he can dribble too but when it comes to playing a final […]
Morning all. In the absence of any real transfer news, I thought I’d just report a few bits and bobs…. Players In: Yaya Sonogo – striker. Yep, that’s it. Players Out, including loans are: Andrey Arshavin Sebastian Squllaci Johan Djourou Francis Coquelin A few younger players have signed new contracts: Hector Bellerin Zachari Fagan Anthony […]
Morning all, I’m not sure if any story about a particular player has ever been the subject of so many Arsenal blogs headline, it’s almost become ridiculous. Some might say boring….. We have had so so many stories in the press/media about him signing, not signing, his family saying he’s ours, and then yesterday, after […]
