Morning all. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has said his goodbye to the fans on Instagram. It reads. Not a mention of the backroom staff, including the current manager, or previous managers for that matter. I think it was right for him to leave, of that I have no doubt, but it’s a shame when any player departure […]

Morning all. Exhale! The January transfer window is finally closed. It was a quiet one for Arsenal as far as incoming transfers go but boy the club were busy showing players the way out. In: Auston Trusty – Colorado Rapids, undisclosed (starts on July 17) Matt Turner – New England Revolution. (Joins in the summer) […]
Morning all. Expect nothing and you won’t be left disappointed. One whole month of a winter transfer window and so far, all we’ve seen is players leave. At the time of writing, there’s sixteen hours left for Arsenal to get one or two players through the entrance door, otherwise that’s it until the summer. Personally, […]
Morning all. Mazeed Ogungbo, Charlie Patino, Joel Lopez, Alex Kirk and Taylor Foran are in Dubai with the rest of the first team squad so one can only assume that they are the ones Mikel Arteta will turn to if injuries or suspensions leave the squad short during the remainder of the season. Just 17 fixtures […]
Morning all. Ivan Toney. Tall, strong and scores goals. He’s used to English football, the Premier League and the weather. He is in my opinion, just what Arsenal lack up front. Transfer Market value him at around £30 million, half of what Juventus have reportedly just paid for number one Arsenal target Dusan Vlahovic. Well, […]
Morning all. Do you sit and wonder what the hell is going on at Arsenal? I know I do. We went in to January knowing that the ACON was taking place and that Mo Elneny along with Thomas Partey would be missing for anything up to six weeks. What do Arsenal do? Send AMN out […]
Morning all. Three Arsenal fixtures have been moved for television broadcasting reasons. Watford v Arsenal, originally Saturday 5th March will now be played on the Sunday at 2pm. Sky Sports. Arsenal v Leicester City has been moved back a day too, to Sunday, March 13th with a 4.30 kick off. Sky Sports. Aston Villa v […]
Morning all. The Guardian reports this morning that Newcastle Utd have made a €40m (£33.5m) offer for Lyon’s defensive midfielder Bruno Guimarães and are awaiting a response from the French club. Guimarāes is a player I’ve seen mentioned many times in an Arsenal related article but if the report above is to be believed, he […]
Morning all. Six people have died and at least 40 more are injured, many seriously after fans got crushed in an incident outside the stadium hosting the Africa Cup of Nations game between Cameroon and Comoros. Too many fans trying to get into the stadium is reported to be the cause. I don’t understand why if […]
Morning all. January has been disappointing for Mikel Arteta, his players and us, the fans. I would say disastrous and to be fair, I wouldn’t be far wrong. We started the New Year in 4th place and in both both domestic cups with one being a semi-final but we’ve finished it with one point added […]
Morning all. No Granit Xhaka and no Thomas Partey for the visit of Burnley this afternoon as both are serving suspensions. I’ve no idea what’s happening with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but I doubt he’s been declared fit to play yet, not that he seems to be in Mikel Arteta’s plans anyway. Cedric Soares, Calum Chambers, Bernd Leno […]
Morning all. The headlines on NN, the back pages and social media relate to Mikel Arteta and a suggested two year contract extension. Inevitable really after previous headlines in the same place, suggested Mikel Arteta was being lined up to replace Pep Guardiola when he calls time at Man City. Arteta’s contract with Arsenal is […]
