Morning all. William Saliba’s loan deal with Marseille was finally made official yesterday. He’ll spend next season with the French club along with Matteo Guendouzi. I’d love to be a fly on the wall when those two get together and talk about Mikel Arteta and Arsenal. Stan and Josh Kroenke are making changes at the […]
Morning all. Bukayo Saka has been nominated for the Freedom of Ealing Borough. Councillor Peter Mason: “I hope this will send a clear message that Saka is Ealing’s own, that we are proud of him, and that he is one of our heroes.” – (Chris Wheatley via Twitter) Excellent. A nice touch, as was this from […]
Morning all. With the Euros over, it’s back to pre-season and for Arsenal training has already begun and the fixtures kick-off tomorrow. Mikel Arteta and his players are in Scotland where they’ll face Hibernian tomorrow evening and Rangers on Saturday afternoon. Results don’t really matter in these pre-season fixtures as they’re little […]
Morning all. Congratulations to Italy, commiserations to England but, I’m left with the feeling that England have only themselves to blame for not winning last night. After the perfect start with Luke Shaw emulating Nacho Monreal with a low shot just millimetres inside the near post, Gareth Southgate’s men were negative in their approach in […]
Morning all. If you don’t get the heading, you’re obviously too young… 😂 Nuno Tavares has signed for Arsenal. The first deal for the club is over the line and whilst his name might not be a household one, he’s young, quick and apparently, has a top notch work ethic. He’s also tall, certainly […]
Morning all. What a great weekend of sport we have in store. It’s the Wimbledon Finals over the next two days, the Euros and Copa America Cup Final, a second ODI between England and Pakistan and the Tour de France cycles on. Love it. I hate it when Wimbledon ends as I feel like someone […]
Morning all. Well, what a night for England, the fans and for Bukayo Saka. A quiet game by his standards I thought but it was his cross which gave England the equaliser they utterly deserved. Previously, a soft free kick to say the least led to a stunning free kick which Pickford could do little […]
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 […]
