Morning all. One from Kev… Were Liverpool really that good last season, were they really that all-conquering machine in the league? Or were they, as I believe, just extremely lucky, particularly with their opening fixtures, very lucky that Man City suddenly came to a natural end of their domination cycle and really lucky with […]

Morning all. That’s the summer transfer window over for another year. Arsenal football club has had a busy summer with arrivals and exits aplenty. Jorginho, Tierney, Tavares, Marquinhos, Tomiyasu, Partey and Lokonga have moved on for good whereas Kabia, Vieira, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Nelson and Nygaard have left on loan deals. Eight new recruits in […]
Morning all. Short one this morning.. Mikel Arteta said in his post match press conference that Arsenal deserved more from the game at Anfield but did we? Apart from Noni Madueke, I thought we lacked a threat up front. Viktor Gyokeres was ineffective because I don’t think his teammates have worked him out yet. […]
Morning all. Starting to get nervous yet, or kind of excited? The current League Champions Liverpool are our next challenge. Our opening game was a bit of an odd one as Mikel Arteta’s team made Man Utd look like league contenders. Last weekends performance was better but it still took a bit of time […]
Morning all. As Eberechi Eze cooly wandered down the tunnel at The Emirates last Saturday evening, like every other Arsenal fan I’m sure, I thought he must be the last signing of the summer. Seven is one transfer window is the kind numbers Chelsea deal in, not Arsenal. Yet signing number eight seems imminent. […]
Morning all. Well that was funny wasn’t it? Utd 2-0 down against League Two club Grimsby Town, 2-2 at full time and then knocked out of the League Cup on penalties. Poor old Chido Obi isn’t getting any minutes this season, Heaven played on the left of a back three and was oiked off just […]
Morning all. The Athletic report that sources with knowledge of Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard’s fitness situation have said that following scans on both players, neither injury is as serious as first feared. Weeks rather than months for the Englishman, whilst our captain could be fit to face Liverpool on Sunday. After a huge spending […]
Morning all. Whilst I think it’s only right for fans and “others” to expect Arsenal to have a better season than last because of the signings the club has made this summer, the “no excuses” headlines and comments made in the media are way off the mark in my opinion. Mikel Arteta has never been […]
Morning all. It was all going on at Arsenal yesterday. Josh Kroenke was in town in to watch the early evening game against Leeds. Before though, he spoke to Arsenal Media about the success in the women’s game with Arsenal winning the Champions League and England the Euros. He thanked the fans for their support, […]
Morning all. When Mikel Arteta was asked if he is now armed with the most complete squad of his near seven-year tenure, he replied: In terms of numbers and quality, yes for sure. When you shake the tree and bring in more players, there are always things that can happen. The spirit of that is […]
Afternoon all. Unless you were hoping for the absolute “perfect” squad, I think Arsenal fans might just be pretty chuffed with what Arsenal have done in the transfer window this summer. Every squad needs a mix of players, a balance. Grafters, skill, strength, intelligence and desire. The ability to be smart and at times, […]
Morning all. Yesterday evening, Arsenal performed a u-turn quicker than I used to in my Toyota iQ! Don’t even think about mocking the car because it was a great little runner and speedy too. If it wasn’t for the fact that Toyota stopped producing them, I’d still have one today. Anyway, just as Totts thought […]
