Morning all. Arsenal’s fifth summer signing was confirmed yesterday afternoon. Oleksandr Zinchenko. He’s a winner, Premier League proved, a left sided player in midfield or defence and a great addition to Mikel Arteta’s squad. I say squad but I think it’s fair to assume that a player of his quality is for the first […]

Morning all. This summer is shaping up to be a cracker for Arsenal. Last summer was pretty good but this one, it’s all about quality as well as numbers. It might not be official, or at least it’s not as I type this but Oleksandr Zinchenko is an Arsenal player. He flew to America with […]
Morning all. Have you seen the “All Or Nothing – Arsenal” teaser yet? Me too and it looks spicy. The two minute clip doesn’t give too much away but I’m sure the series, which begins broadcasting on the 4th August on Amazon Prime, will. Was I surprised to see Mikel Arteta so animated, absolutely not. […]
Morning all. T-Bag, that’s Nuno Tavares’ nickname for Fabio Vieira. That’s what the latter told The Athletic during an interview. The image of a PG Pyramid popped into my mind but of course that’s not what he meant. “T-Bag” – full name, Theodore “T-Bag” Bagwell is a fictional character from the American television series Prison Break. […]
Morning all. Arsenal players wearing the number 9 shirt during the Premier League era have not always excelled. In fact one of two of them have been little short of awful. Francis Jeffers, Park Chu-young, Julian Baptista? Lucas Perez and Davor Suker. Life at Arsenal wasn’t easy for Suker, not with a certain Thierry Henry […]
Morning all. The media are spinning the story that William Saliba could leave Arsenal this summer. He’s reluctant to sign a new contract – yes, I read something about that on NN. Right now he’s in America with the rest of the squad and having read his interview on the official website, it seems he’s […]
Morning all. I can’t believe that the sun still shines here in the UK. It’s usually one day sun, the next, rain during a typical British summer but it seems ages since anything wet has fallen from the sky. That’s unless your unlucky enough to have walked in the same direction as one of the […]
Morning all. My post yesterday didn’t suit everyone. All I was trying to say is why slate the club when we don’t know what’s going on or the reasons behind any of the decisions the club makes. I certainly wasn’t trying to tell any football fan how or what to think, or what opinion they […]
Morning all. Pre Mikel Arteta and Edu and pre the single ownership of Arsenal football club, the club was being run in a way that success was very unlikely to come our way. The move to the Emirates hampered our transfer dealings but even when the club did spend money, the gaps in the squad […]
Morning all. The England women plonked themselves into the history books last night by being the first international team to score eight goals in a Euros competition. A dodgy penalty started the 8-0 rout of Norway, which included a hat-trick from Arsenal’s Beth Mead. The victory means England are through to the quarter-finals as Group […]
Morning all. It seems to be the case in football that if a player doesn’t travel overseas for pre-season fixtures, they’re on their way out of the club. Ronaldo hasn’t travelled with Man Utd, Conte has left four players in England according to the back pages and with Arsenal leaving England for the USA on […]
Morning all. Did you click on the NN headline which at the time of me typing this, sits top of the hits list? To give you a clue, it’s about Thomas Partey. If ever there was a headline aiming for clicks alone, this really was it because there’s absolutely no evidence out there in the […]
