Morning all. Arsenal kicked off their pre-season with a 5-1 victory over Ipswich at the weekend. Eddie Nketiah scored a hat-trick with Sambi Lokonga and Flo Balogun scoring the other two. A strong Arsenal team played the first 45 minutes but at half-time, Mikel Arteta turned to the younger players. The result means nothing although […]

Championssssssssss!!!!!!😁🏆 pic.twitter.com/eBrGCNpuPj — Brooke Norton-Cuffy (@brookenc2) July 1, 2022 Afternoon all. What a great achievement for the England Under 19 team. Having gone 1-0 down and under a fair amount of pressure from Israel, a second half equaliser to take the Euros final into extra time. Our young right-back didn’t start the final against Israel […]
Morning all. Paper Talk up first: Arsenal are intending to keep William Saliba at the club next season and are hoping to tie the defender down to a new contract (Daily Mirror). Question marks remain over Hector Bellerin’s future at Arsenal after he returned to training with the Premier League club on Thursday. Atletico Madrid […]
Morning all. I’m not sure whether Ben White would look more at home being frontman for Wet Wet Wet or a stunt double Tommy Shelby but he’s out there on the training pitch and the first to be captured on film ahead of the new season. Our number 4 and possibly our new captain. […]
Morning all. All or Nothing, a behind the scenes look at the goings on at Arsenal last season is out in August. We’ll see Mikel Arteta and the players at their lowest moments and highest too, although I doubt there’ll be much of the latter. The official club website says the Amazon Prime documentary will […]
Morning all. Can we say Matt Turner is Arsenal’s third signing of the summer bearing in mind we’ve known for a long time that he was coming to north London? Too darned right we can because it’s only now that he’s crossed the T’s and dotted the I’s on his contract. It’s not even the […]
Morning all. Today’s post is by AllezKev. Being pipped to fourth place by the Middlesex Silversmiths several weeks ago was a hard pill to take. We’ve done it to them so many times before in the recent past and everything seemed to be falling into place once again, but sadly it wasn’t to be. All […]
Afternoon all. Ever since that day in Manchester, Mike Riley has probably been the most disliked man in football by Arsenal fans. Of course our great run back then was going to come to an end at some stage but Mike Riley was, in my opinion, far too eager to ensure it came when it […]
Morning all. With Man City agreeing a deal with Leeds for Kelvin Phillips for £45-50 million according to Sky Sports, Leeds are going to be hard pushed to expect anything more for Raphinha in my opinion but they will I’m sure. English players, especially those already playing for their country, usually cost more because of […]
Morning all. Gabriel Jesus’ move to Arsenal seems to have gone up a notch. Personal terms have been agreed according to many newspapers with The Mirror suggesting the club are going to pay him £260,000 a week. If true, it’s bonkers because City were paying him £90,000 a week. I know London is a bit […]
Morning all. Arsenal announced the signing of Fabio Vieira yesterday afternoon. Ok, I get it, he’s not the biggest footballer in the world but so what? Santi Cazorla was shorter, as is Kante and I’m sure if I could be bothered to look, I’d find many other under tall players who have graced the English […]
Morning all. Arsenal new arrivals might not be coming thick and fast but the rumours are, with the latest being Kieran Tierney to Manchester City. Absolutely no way should Arsenal consider taking City’s dirty money, was my first thought but then, why not came creeping into my mind. Arsenal could pretty much sign Lisandro Martinez […]
