In this the Father’s Day edition of the podcast, it is the consensus of us three older but hopefully wiser Gooners (Blackburn George, ex-scout Ehab and yours truly) that the signing of Marquinhos and Fabio Vieira is an act of hope rather than expectation. Although both are talented nobody knows…

With Arsenal barely making a new signing in the last transfer window but instead getting rid of 6 players, almost all on a free including the highest wage earner, Aubameyang, has raised questions about what is the real strategy being pursued by the owners. One indisputably fact is that ever…
Today Sat, Jun 26th is our weekly YouTube/Twitter livestream, Topic: “Bye-Bye Bouldy…. Arsenal Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Old Boot Room.” In the promo I did a knock-off of Rev Martin Niemöller’s poem FIRST THEY CAME. First they came for Gunnersaurus and I didn’t speak up cause I wasn’t a mascot; Then…

I will watch today’s friendly between Arsenal and Barcelona with great interest. Whether we win, lose or draw, I expect Arsenal to play positive, attractive football demonstrating the club’s intent for the upcoming premier league season. Arsenal might flatter to deceive, as we did at the start of last season…
