Morning all. T-Bag, that’s Nuno Tavares’ nickname for Fabio Vieira. That’s what the latter told The Athletic during an interview. The image of a PG Pyramid popped into my mind but of course that’s not what he meant. “T-Bag” – full name, Theodore “T-Bag” Bagwell is a fictional character from the American television series Prison Break. […]
Morning all. Arsenal players wearing the number 9 shirt during the Premier League era have not always excelled. In fact one of two of them have been little short of awful. Francis Jeffers, Park Chu-young, Julian Baptista? Lucas Perez and Davor Suker. Life at Arsenal wasn’t easy for Suker, not with a certain Thierry Henry […]
Morning all. The media are spinning the story that William Saliba could leave Arsenal this summer. He’s reluctant to sign a new contract – yes, I read something about that on NN. Right now he’s in America with the rest of the squad and having read his interview on the official website, it seems he’s […]
Morning all. I can’t believe that the sun still shines here in the UK. It’s usually one day sun, the next, rain during a typical British summer but it seems ages since anything wet has fallen from the sky. That’s unless your unlucky enough to have walked in the same direction as one of the […]
Morning all. My post yesterday didn’t suit everyone. All I was trying to say is why slate the club when we don’t know what’s going on or the reasons behind any of the decisions the club makes. I certainly wasn’t trying to tell any football fan how or what to think, or what opinion they […]
Morning all. Pre Mikel Arteta and Edu and pre the single ownership of Arsenal football club, the club was being run in a way that success was very unlikely to come our way. The move to the Emirates hampered our transfer dealings but even when the club did spend money, the gaps in the squad […]
Morning all. The England women plonked themselves into the history books last night by being the first international team to score eight goals in a Euros competition. A dodgy penalty started the 8-0 rout of Norway, which included a hat-trick from Arsenal’s Beth Mead. The victory means England are through to the quarter-finals as Group […]
Morning all. It seems to be the case in football that if a player doesn’t travel overseas for pre-season fixtures, they’re on their way out of the club. Ronaldo hasn’t travelled with Man Utd, Conte has left four players in England according to the back pages and with Arsenal leaving England for the USA on […]
Morning all. Did you click on the NN headline which at the time of me typing this, sits top of the hits list? To give you a clue, it’s about Thomas Partey. If ever there was a headline aiming for clicks alone, this really was it because there’s absolutely no evidence out there in the […]
Morning all. Jack Wilshere announced his retirement from football yesterday and with it, he made a heartfelt statement to the people who have been part of his journey. From Arsene Wenger, his family, right through to us, the fans and the message he sent out – was thank you. I’ve read many a comment over […]
Morning all. Arsenal are in Germany. The players who’ve returned from their summer break are busy preparing for our second fixture of pre-season. Gabriel Jesus, Matt Turner and Marquinhos were in action were a number of players who could yet see their Arsenal careers come to an end this summer. Bernd Leno is widely reported […]
Morning all. Football, the Euros, England’s women and thankfully, no Phil Neville this time. Sarina Wiegman is the woman hoping to take England all the way to the final of this summer’s tournament and lifting the big trophy with Arsenal’s Leah Williamson as her captain. The Lionesses take on Austria tonight as the Euros kick […]
