Morning all. I know this news came out of Sky Sports yesterday but it remains topical I think. Rumours out: A gap in valuation remains between Arsenal and Roma for sale of Granit Xhaka. Talks continue with all parties remaining hopeful a deal can be done. Marseille are interested in Matteo Guendouzi. Arsenal are listening to […]

Morning all. England got off to the perfect start at weekend with a victory over Croatia. I thought Gareth Southgate’s team looked very good in the opening minutes but with temperatures at a high, there was little hope they’d keep the pace up for too long. Having hit the post and the Croatian keeper making a […]
Morning all. Each and every day there are people suffer heart attacks, strokes or something else life threatening, and as I know from personal experience, age means very little. Many will die because of it, others might be more fortunate. We might think we’re as fit as a fiddle, but we’ve no idea what’s really going […]
Morning all. Euros kicked off last night with a big win for Italy over Turkey. Today though the fixtures hold a bit more interest for Arsenal fans. Certainly the first one. Wales v Switzerland Denmark v Finland Belgium v Russia. Arsenal old boy Aaron Ramsey up against potentially soon to be ex Arsenal player Granit […]
Morning all. The Euros of 2020 finally kicks off tonight after a year’s delay. Turkey take on Italy in Rome at 8pm in the opening fixture. From tomorrow though, football fans will have three fixtures available to watch each day. That’s a lot of football, 270 minutes to be precise, not including added time of […]
Morning all. I saw a headline from the Mirror which covered the battles between Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane. Whilst not condoning their behaviour, the passion they showed was incredible, either that or they simply just hated each other. From 1996 through to 2005, the Premier League was about us or them. Keane v Vieira, […]
Morning all. Daniel Ek is in the news once more because he’s not giving up on trying to buy Arsenal. The Mail report he’s preparing to increase his Arsenal takeover bid to more than £2bn after his opening offer of £1.8bn was rejected. The Ek camp are ‘not going anywhere and want to get a deal done’. […]
Morning all. If the last two England performances are anything to go by, Bukayo Saka could soon be back home, or at least enjoying a break from the game. Boring and uninspired, that’s England under Gareth Southgate. A bit like Arsenal last season really. Jack Grealish showed his worst traits by winning a penalty and […]
Morning all. If the Emi Buendia deal came down to money then Villa are welcome to him. If the player really wanted a move to Arsenal, he could have said no to the move to Birmingham. Sometimes, things just don’t work out. Assuming Arsenal really were in for the Norwich City player of course, after all, […]
The early promise last summer which saw us win the FA Cup and the Charity Shield, our hopes for the season just gone soon turned into disappointments. Whatever the reasons might have been, and I know we’ve already discussed some in our comments, the reality is, Arsenal finished in a position which neither you or […]
Morning all. Not every Arsenal fan is interested in what’s going on in the academy, but for those who are, Jeorge Bird reported yesterday that the club has offered professional contracts to five second-year scholars. Winger – Kido Taylor-Hart RB/CB – Daniel Oyegoke Winger/FW – Nathan Butler-Oyedeji GK – Ovie Ejeheri LB – Mazeed Ogungbo We’ve all heard of Taylor-Hart, […]
