Afternoon all. Matteo Guendouzi has left the club on a loan deal to Marseille. An ‘obligation to buy with conditions’ has been included within his contract according to TransferMarket so I think it’s fair to say, his Arsenal career is over all the time Mikel Arteta is manager. Also leaving is Matt Smith who has joined […]
Morning all. A bit of fun. Below is a list of players. On the left, those from the Arsene Wenger era but not necessarily signed by him. On the right, the players of today, very few of which have been signed by the current managerial team. Leno v Szczesny Tierney v Cole Bellerin v Lauren […]
Morning all. Not sure about a private jet but it looks like all three are sat in an MRI scanner. Anyway, that’s Arsenal’s new signing Nuno Tavares together with his agents prior to jetting into England to sign a five contract with Arsenal according to respected journalist Fabrizio Romano. Departing could be William Saliba according to […]
Morning all. Arsenal are filling the back pages and or social media. Not all is positive news, not having read about AMN crashing his Ford KA at 6am this morning. No one was injured so that’s the main thing. What the club make of his accident remains to be seen but before casting judgement, they’ll […]
Morning all. Two quite entertaining fixtures played out yesterday at the Euros. The first saw Spain went 3-1 up against Croatia and looked like the next round was a certainty for them but a spirited fight back from Modric and his teammates brought the scores level so extra time was needed. Spain ended up going […]
Morning all. Arsenal have appointed Jonas Eidevall as the women’s new head coach. Eidevall is 38 years old and last season, led Malmo-based club Rosengard to last season’s Women’s Champions League quarter-finals; he spent a brief spell as Henrik Larsson’s assistant at Helsingborgs. Arsenal have a rich history, more successful than any other women’s team in […]
Morning all. Kieran Tierney has extended his contract at Arsenal which is brilliant news. “It feels amazing,” Tierney told Arsenal.com. “Firstly, when the manager came to me and said, ‘We want you to extend your deal, we’re so happy with how you’ve come along’ it was just amazing for me to hear because I’ve worked […]

Wednesday, July 7 – Men’s first team return to London Colney Saturday, July 10 – Copa America final Sunday, July 11 – Euro 2020 final Monday, July 12 – We travel to Scotland […]
By Devilgunner. I always had the nagging feeling that Auba wasn’t suited to the Arsenal style. But even though the evidence of those simple stats is telling, I was still shocked to see the high percentage of points the team got when Auba wasn’t involved and when Laca played. As a coach I prefer to […]
Morning all. A bitter sweet night as far as Arsenal players go. Sweet for Bukayo Saka who featured in the Euros for the first time and gave England something they’d seriously lacked previously but for Kieran Tierney, his summer of football is over as Scotland suffered a 3-1 defeat against Croatia. Selfishly, I’m pleased Scotland […]
Morning all. André Silva is being linked to Arsenal. He’s 6’ 1” tall, 25 years old and currently playing for Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt. He scored 29 goals in 34 matches last season. Just the kind of numbers Arsenal need from a striker. Here’s a glimpse of some of his goals from last season: I imagine […]
Morning all. The buildup to the England v Scotland match was far more exciting than the performance England produced last night and even that was tedious. Scotland were all about hard work and playing with pride in my opinion, whilst England seemed to huff and puff their way through 90 minutes of football. A bright […]
