Arsenal FC a very promising story

From ArseBlog....



Today there’s Arsenal interest in a couple of the games. Thomas Partey will play for Ghana as they face South Korea, while Granit Xhaka’s Switzerland will play Brazil for whom our two Gabriels will probably start on the bench. There are some quotes from Xhaka doing the rounds:

“We were joking before the World Cup to come here and of course; it is always good if you have teammates opposite you, but we are professional footballers, and for 90 minutes. I told Gabi Martinelli and Gabi Jesus if you are running one on one against our goalkeeper, I will smash you!

“Of course, they were worried. They know me. If I smash you, it will be very, very hard.”

No doubt slightly tongue in cheek, the usual kind of training ground stuff that goes on, but please Granit, no smashing. Make this one a smash free zone. Or if you must smash, smash someone else who might be playing for one of our rivals perhaps and thus render them smashed for their return to England. If it takes them some time to become unsmashed, that’s fine by me, but zero Gabi-smashing if you don’t mind.

Turned out nice again..

Sad to report I seem to have lost my cannon shooting chicken gif so you'll have to use your imagination.

There you go Ralph. It had fallen into disuse, but it's back now.

"Arsenal have agreed a deal to sign Belgium international Leandro Trossard from Brighton for £21m plus add-ons."

Feels like a good signing, other than City, Brighton probably the best English club for Arsenal to buy from in terms of fitting in easily

I'm exhausted and relieved in equal measures after that roller-coaster-ride of a game.

Delighted for both Jorginho and Emi.

Some game, wasn't it?

Very interesting set of results today too.

Thoroughly enjoyable couple of moments featuring Emi. After pinging in the winner his contribution to the last goal was even better

By the way, thought Jorginho was pretty great against City and another solid performance today.

Blimey! No wonder I've got high blood-pressure.

Probably an occupational hazard for us Gooners.
