Afternoon guys. From Arsenal.com: Josh Kroenke: We’re delighted to have extended Mikel’s contract. Mikel is a dynamic and passionate manager, who is relentless in the pursuit of excellence. He has a deep understanding of Arsenal’s values, and since joining us as Head Coach in December 2019, he has taken the team to another level in […]
Morning all. I doubt there’s an Arsenal fan anywhere who is looking forward to seeing Jarred Gillet officiate an Arsenal match for the second time already this season. This is a man who thought it was kind of ok for Wolves defender Yerson Mosquera to grab Kai Havertz around the throat on the opening weekend […]
Morning all. As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours… First it was Mikel Merino to suffer a nasty injury during training, then came the news that Riccardo Calafiori had been injured whilst on international duty, bad enough for him to return to Arsenal and then yesterday, Martin Odegaard limped out of Norway’s Nations […]
Morning all. After thrashing Rangers 6-0, Arsenal’s women needed another victory yesterday to have any chance of making the Champions League proper. The performance was convincing although like the men, converting chances into goals was missing but the one they did score was enough to beat Rosenborg BK. They still have two more qualifying fixtures, […]
Morning all. Thomas Partey and his Ghanaian teammates slumped to a 1-0 defeat at home to Angola in the opening ACON’s qualifying fixtures yesterday. I won’t shed a tear if Ghana lose their remaining qualifying fixtures too, not if it means our midfielder doesn’t go off on international duty in January. David Raya played for […]
Morning all. Twelve players from the first team squad are now away with their respective countries as international football occupies the next two weeks. Jurrien Timber is back with Netherlands having missed the Euros and most of Arsenal’s season. Ronald Koeman’s team will face Bosnia and Herzegovina and Germany. He could be up against Kai […]
Morning all. A quick update on our Champions League fixtures and who we play before and after. Thursday September 19th Atalanta Away (between away fixtures against Totts and Man City) Tuesday October 1st 2024 PSG Home (between two home games, Leicester City and Southampton) Tuesday October 22nd Shakhtar Donetsk Home (between away Bournemouth and home […]
Morning all. Having not seen the entire game it’s hard to write much about it but by all accounts, we could have been at least two goals ahead before the sending off of Rice. We even had two really good opportunities to nick all three points late in the second half too but couldn’t take […]
Morning all. Thank goodness the transfer window is shut for the next four months. Deadline day saw Brazilian goalkeeper Neto join us from Bournemouth on a season long loan and then very late in the day, Raheem Sterling joined Arsenal on loan for the season. Edu admitted in an interview last night that Sterling wasn’t […]
Morning all. At 11pm this evening, the transfer window slams shut. I’ve no idea what we as Arsenal fans can expect today but I can’t imagine it’ll be a lot. Bournemouth keeper Neto has agreed to move to Arsenal according to Sky Sports and The Athletic but whether that’s instead of Joan Garcia or as […]
Morning all. Something to make you smile I hope. This is our local football pitch, or rather the lines marked out before this weekends game. Aaron Ramsdale is a medical away from leaving Arsenal after Southampton agreed to sign him on a permanent basis for £25 million. (David Ornstein) The same report suggests that Arsenal […]
Morning all. Arsenal shocked the world of football yesterday afternoon by announcing the permanent signing of Mikel Merino. So much has been written about him already there’s very little to add other than he’s just what Arsenal need right now. Not just a body but an excellent player who in the summer, helped his Spanish […]
