Morning all. Thomas Partey is out of todays game. Such news was always coming but I just didn’t expect it so early in the season. That’s the game though, any time, any day, they can strike. Hopefully it’s nothing serious although he’s already been ruled out for Ghana,...

Morning all. Nothing from Arsenal on deadline day other than players leaving. I thought we might try and bring a defender in at least, even one on loan to help cover at left back but I guess if Mikel Arteta was happy to loan out Kieran Tierney, Nuno Tavares too, he...

Morning all. His name is Mylo he said, my wife wouldn’t let him be called Bukayo, he added as I approached the man and his beautiful Beagle pup who I then found out was just 17 weeks old. His Arsenal logo’d top he was wearing gave him away. “What do you think of...

Morning all. After the 2-2 draw at home to Fulham, Mikel Arteta said: Well, obviously within the first minute you made the mistake that we made and you just give a goal to the opponent, the game becomes much more difficult. The reaction straight after that even in the...

Morning all. Short post this morning just to refresh the page.. The time wasting saga rumbles on after last weekend’s matches. Sky Sports have done a breakdown of who got booked and after how long. The range is from around 4 seconds to Arsenal’s 23, or rather,...

Morning all. David Coote had a night to forget. Firstly, he booked the wrong Arsenal player for taking too long on a throw in and secondly, he was conned by Ayew before sending off Tomiyasu. An easy solution to errors like these is a VAR review but for now,...

Morning all. Can you believe that it’s 13 years ago today that Highbury House was born. The best present would have been England’s women lifting the World Cup but it wasn’t to be. What they achieved though was pretty special although it’ll take a while for them to...

Morning all. Arsenal have finally confirmed the arrival of David Raya, a signing which is getting mixed opinions on in the media. I even read that Aaron Ramsdale could now be sold which is probably one of the most bizarre transfer rumours of the summer. Arsenal need...
