The pundits said 3-0. The fans said 3-0. On the Same Old Arsenal, I said 3-0. In yesterday’s blog, I reiterated and said 3-0. But all of that is talk. You still have to go out there on the pitch and do it. And yesterday, against the EFL Champions, Arsenal did just that. Back in […]
£51m for Konsa… and what happens to Hale End? – Suburban Gooners
So it appears that, as in every summer transfer window, Arteta has got his wish once more…another defender! Ornstein confirmed it, tap-in merchant Romano confirmed it, then the major outlets like Sky Sports confirmed it, with HandOfArsenal going the next level with his Tweet: Deal agreed between Arsenal and Aston Villa in the region of […]
What if Bruno G unlocks Gabriel Martinelli? – Suburban Gooners
It’s the countdown to the start of the season now, and I don’t know about you, but I’m really feeling it. The anxiety of getting over the line from last season is gone. We’re champions. We’re the ones with the gold badge on the arm. We’re the club that everyone is looking at and aiming to […]
Arsenal fans need a transfer adrenaline hit – but not any old one… – Suburban Gooners
Yeah, I’d like us to have some news about a signing at The Arsenal, but it could be worse, right? We could be trying a pre covid ‘get the band back together’ veterans tour like Chelsea are doing, eh? All jokes aside, whilst I have no problem with them bringing in elder statesmen like Henderson, […]
Is Bruno worth more than Vini Jr? – Suburban Gooners
It’s a little weird to start off today’s blog with a story about another club, but with the news breaking as I’ve started to type about Eddie Howe leaving Newcastle, it’s hard not to put two and two together. Sky Sports are talking about this at the moment in the background as I’m typing and […]
The Vinicius Junior change curve – Suburban Gooners
It’s the weekend, so we all need a little excitement for it, right? Yes, there’s a game on today as Arsenal take on Girona, but you and I both know that isn’t the first thing that popped into your mind – was it? Step forward our guy HandOfArsenal: 🚨 EXCL : Arsenal Football Club have […]
Style vs substance in Arsenal’s attack – Suburban Gooners
Happy Monday Gooners, and welcome to a new week, in which we are all hoping for some Bruno G news no doubt. But I sawe something yesterday suggesting that there was another Brazilian (not that one!) that we were interested in Joao Pedro from Chelsea. Makes sense; Arsenal have an unhealthy obsession with getting that […]
Bruno G closes in as Arsenal’s summer enters the final act – Suburban Gooners
Looks like Bruno G is on his way. The last horses are crossing the finish line – Newcastle-based journos – and they’re now starting to report that he’s met new manager Matthias Jaissle, and told him that he wants to make this move, which means it’ll be sanctioned for around the £75million mark. So for […]
Pre-season reality check as Betis punish Arsenal errors – Suburban Gooners
That was not great, was it? I found a way to watch the game last night against Real Betis, and by the time I’d switched over to watch Live at the Apollo at about 9.45pm, I’d kind of wish I hadn’t bothered. Now, what we all have to say is that it is a friendly, so […]
Show me the Vini money – Suburban Gooners
I gotta say, I do like that third kit, maybe even better than the away one. I guess it’s just because I’m a sucker for a red and white home shirt (sacred, so doesn’t change, apart from the cranberry year that we moved away from Highbury), and a yellow and blue away shirt, so this […]
