Morning all. Don’t know about a new number 10, but it seems a new number 11 is on his way in after the same player gave it back in May. Superstition aside, a number is irrelevant. It’s what a player does on the pitch which matters to the team. In flashes, Ødegaard showed […]

Morning all. The clock is ticking by quickly and Arsenal, having already made bold moves during this transfer window, look to be back in business again. I know much of what we read is speculation but that’s social media and Fleet Street’s finest for you. Arsenal need a few players, they lost the opening fixture […]
Morning all. When I first read about a potential swap deal between Coutinho and Aubameyang I thought the idea was stupid. After all, he’s 29 years old which goes against the kind of profile Arsenal have already added this summer. I also thought this smacks of laziness by the club because he’s Brazilian and possibly […]
Morning all, Will Rook, sports writer for Betway has been chatting with defenders of the past, discussing how the duties of a defender has changed. Mikael Silvestre: If you switch off, you’re done. You can’t rest like strikers or midfielders can. This is the Silvestre who enjoyed a successful career at Man Utd, not the […]
Morning all. Asking a simple question about where Mikel Arteta is taking Arsenal doesn’t mean I think he should be sacked here and now. Questioning what goes on during a game isn’t me trying to be a footballing expert either, in fact I don’t think it takes an expert to see something is wrong at […]
Morning all. According to the rumours which have been circulating for a while now, Mikel Arteta wants to sign a goalkeeper, creative midfielder and a striker. This is only my opinion but unless the goalkeeper is physically stronger, better with the ball at his feet, a better shot stopper than Bernd Leno, it’s likely the […]
Morning all. Jamie Carragher couldn’t wait to tell the world that Arsenal were bullied when Brentford scored their second goal. Same old, same old he said or something like that, the glee in his voice obvious. A better pundit would have highlighted how Bernd Leno was being grappled as he tried to do his job. […]
Morning all. During Mikel Arteta’s press conference, he hinted at more signings to come, possibly during the final week of the transfer window when he expects things to get much busier than they have been. Logic suggests he right, certainly for clubs who either don’t have a lot of cash, or need to sell players […]
Morning all. Anyone with an ounce of common sense will know that Arsenal aren’t in a position to the kind of money needed to overhaul the squad. But, anyone with an ounce of common sense will know that Arsenal can not afford to go into the new season without a proper goalkeeper to challenge Bernd […]
Morning all. Kev and I have scrabbled this one together. I don’t like our third kit at all and I certainly wouldn’t buy one. It’s dark, drab and blue. Thanks goodness it’s the third kit so we shouldn’t see the guys wearing it too often. Love our second kit though. The yellow has so much […]
Morning all. Firstly, despite the many many years of fierce rivalry between Toots and Arsenal, the home fans showed a bit of class yesterday when Bukayo Saka came on from the bench. Cheers not jeers rung around the stadium for the young Arsenal man who’d been subjected to some ghastly comments on social media not […]
Morning all. The Aaron Ramsdale to Arsenal stories carry on and I’m not at all surprised. Arsenal need a goalkeeper and not just someone who’s prepared to accept he’s our number two. Let’s face it, if Arsenal spend big on a keeper, there’s no way Mikel Arteta intends for him to be the number two […]
