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 […]
Four goals, one big reminder about Arsenal’s future – Suburban Gooners
We have some actual football to chew over and, I tell you what, there were some great finishes yesterday as Arsenal beat Girona 4-1. I liked Dowman’s performance, who assisted for Kai’s smart finish, then also bagged a good effort from the edge of the box. For all the talk of new signings, yesterday was […]
The biggest winner of Arsenal’s pre-season could be Ethan Nwaneri – Suburban Gooners
Do you know what’s nicee? Seeing pictures of players in pre-season training. And important players too. Until you see them, you have a question mark over whether they are still on holiday, what their fitness is like, etc. But yesterday Arsenal released some training pics, and there was Big Gabi, huge grinning teeth, as the […]
No transfer news – so let’s talk about the season we waited 22 years for – Suburban Gooners
Morning all. So, here we are again. Nothing. There’s no Bruno Guimaraes news – no bid, no “talks progressing”, not even a lazily-sourced “Arsenal are monitoring the situation” to chew on over a coffee. And then yesterday Sky went and confirmed the thing a few of us had already quietly braced ourselves for: Vinicius Junior […]
Arsenal fans need more than just transfer teasers – Suburban Gooners
So, after a summer in which Liverpool thought they were signing Diomande, then PSG, Real Madrid are the one’s pulling the trigger, which will be an ‘all-in’ fee of around £100million when the bonuses are factored in (€120million). As I mentioned yesterday, that means Madrid now have: Mbappe Vinicius Junior Rodrygo Endrick Diomande Brahim Dias […]
Transfer silence isn’t golden forever – Suburban Gooners
It’s Saturday The Arsenal have still not kicked off matches yet, so my hope is that they are using the time effectively to “Spend some faaaakin’ money!”. A bit of a blast-from-the-past phrase to bust out, I know, but you’d hope Andrea Berta is somewhere doing something to augment the squad soon. Tzolis was a […]
