Season Diary I swear if I hear the word “window” much more I will throw somebody out of one…As this goes out on Monday, I feel the first thing I should do is to wish you all a Happy Transfer Deadline Day. I didn’t get you a card, or anything, sorry. I think Deadline Day […]
Season Diary Due to this being a two-game week, coming off the back of a home defeat to Aston Villa in our first game of the new season, I think it’s only fitting that this week’s piece should come to you somewhat chronologically.

Pre-Season Diary That number of sleeps is going down quite quickly isn’t it? I don’t know about you, but the lower that number gets, the more excited I get. I still look at it as the number of sleeps until I get to go and watch The Arsenal again, not the number of sleeps I […]
Pre-Season Diary I have a feeling this is going to be quite a week. By this week, I mean last week as you are reading it the week after the week I have a feeling is going to be quite a week, if you get me. If that hurt your head as much as it […]
Pre-Season Diary Arsene Wenger was last night facing the biggest crisis of his Arsenal reign, as goalkeeper Vito Mannone looked set to follow Andrey Arshavin out of the club in a sensational £3m switch to Sunderland.
