Morning all. It’s Cup Final day again. So how did this oddly named season opener come about? It began as the Sheriff of London Charity Shield in 1898, with a game between professionals and amateurs, but it became the FA Charity Shield in 1908 when Football League champions Manchester United played Southern League winners Queens […]
Afternoon all. Mikel Arteta has held his pre Community Shield Press Conference today. No surprise questions fired his way of course because all anyone really wants to know is 1) Is Aubameyang going to sign a new contract and 2) Have Arsenal secured the services of Gabriel Magalhaes? Aubameyang: “I am pretty confident we will […]
Morning all. William Saliba might not have had lots to do, but what he did do, he did with consummate ease. Bigger tests will come but I doubt he’ll fear them. He’s tall, athletic and pretty darn quick. The game itself, and the 4-1 scoreline in our favour is irrelevant in my opinion. Prob Holding […]
Morning all. Twitter is a great thing, or at least it is much of the time. Like any social media outlet or football blog etc, there’s always the odd few who think it’s their place and right to say what they like to who they like, but otherwise, it’s informative. Footballers hang out there, their […]
Morning all. Thank goodness Vinai Venkatesham told us that we mustn’t believe all that is written about Arsenal because otherwise I’d be really disappointed come the end of the transfer window. Lol. Goodness only knows how many players we’ve been linked to already this summer and bearing in mind there’s over a full month of […]
Morning all. Its been a long time since the Arsenal first team have been involved in a Champions League quarterfinals. 2009/10 season I think it was. 2-2 at home in the first leg followed by a 4-1 defeat in Catalonia and we were history. The Champions League and Arsenal haven’t exactly got on. 2006 was […]
Morning all. I saw a clip of this little fella on the news last night. Dubbed ‘the little Messi’ at just the age of six, his football skills are ridiculous. Thankfully though, despite living in Liverpool, he wants to play for Barcelona. If there are any six year olds dribbling their way around north London, […]
Morning all. Newsnow along with the footballing back pages are getting a bit ahead of themselves I feel but for once, I really hope they’ve been fed some real news. Thomas Partey and Gabriel Magalhaes are the players in question with the Brazilian a ‘done deal’ say The Mail. A Twitter comment made by Partey’s […]
Morning all. So much has happened since I last posted on here. Raul Sanllehi has gone which actually came as a surprise to me. When he arrived at Arsenal I truly thought he’d be excellent for the club but as time passed by, the club hadn’t really progressed. The long and drawn out decision over […]
Morning all. Finally. The heavens opened yesterday and down came the rain. Much needed rain. Scorched grass and wilting vegetables is a sorry sight but this morning, things look a little greener… Unlike the grass in Turin. Aaron Ramsey can’t be happy with the way his career has gone since leaving Arsenal. Juventus are […]
Morning all. If Arsenal manage to tie Aubameyang down to a new three year deal, he’ll be 34 years old going into his final year. If Willian arrives this summer on a three year deal, he’ll be 35 years old as his last season with us kicks off. Cedric Soares will be 29 in […]
