So the mystical Kraken never materialised. We sold/loaned a grand to total of 6 (first team players) players for a grand total of £2m (supposedly) and brought, well, no-one, unless you count re-loans back to Stan’s American franchise. The biggest move was obviously Auba to Barca on a free. Number 14 number 2 takes the captains […]
I think it would be safe to suggest that Arsenal fans on social media have been in degrees of meltdown in the past few days. The anxiety at the lack of arrivals to balance the exits as the end of the window approached, reached fever pitch as the final hours confirmed a further departure, and […]
It’s not often that I write about the men’s team on this platform, these days.The reaction after the deadline day got me itchy, though, so I thought I would share some of my feelings. Was it a underwhelming? Yes. Does it leave us short in numbers? Yes. Is it a 1/10 window? No. Edu and […]
Mission. Accomplished. The quest for the 15th trophy is still on. We were favorites against the London City Lionesses and it showed, although ours wasn’t exactly a scintillating performance. Journalists often refer to this kind of wins as “professional”, as if others weren’t. Anyway, we progress to the next round thanks to Vivianne Miedema’s first-half […]
So we have reached Transfer Deadline Day. That dreaded day which plays Russian Roulette with football fans mental health when activity has been non-existent throughout the month. The transfer window is a time which I hate the most as it almost feels like daily a new name pops up as a potential target. The usual […]
2 days and counting. AMN, Balogan, Mari, Kola, Chambers have departed to pastures new either permanently or a “try before buy” basis. Eddie is likely off to N€wcastle. Auba is expected to arrive LATE on Monday at Barca or Juve. The first team squad as is stands, is at 19, baring red cards, Covid or […]
With a couple of free weeks on his hands, Granit’s social media manager, Terrance Witter, decided to call an emergency meeting. Meeting up for a socially distanced juice at the local London Colney Costa Coffee, T.Witter arrived first, due to Xhaka having to prove his vaccination status to be allowed on the premises. Finally, they sat […]
We did it! We got our first win of the year!It feels good, doesn’t it? We had to fight to get it but it was thoroughly deserved, especially after the break; it’s unknown whether the players were inspired by Tobin Heath’s pep talk in the dressing room or scared to death by the idea of […]
What to do up front..? The age old question this season that confronts Arteta on a weekly basis and divides opinions amongst our ever present online fanbase. Lacazette, Aubameyang, Nketiah. Three strikers all with pros and cons. All three on the way out next season (if not sooner in Aubameyang’s case). Arsenal and Arteta have […]
Whilst it certainly appears that Arsenal striker target, Vlahovic has played the Gunners to get a move to Juventus, there may be a slight positive. One by-product might be that Arteta can now land his midfield target Arthur, as the Italian giants will need cash. Arsenal have been heavily linked with the ex-Barcelona midfielder for […]
