One of the key fallouts from the guilty verdict against Manchester City for 114 charges of what I will politely refer to as ‘financial chicanery’ is deep introspection. The idea that a decade’s worth ...

Morning. There’s only one place to begin this morning and that’s the Premier League releasing a statement on the Man City charges. It dropped late yesterday afternoon, and suffice to say it’s a bombshell. If I wasn’t expecting them to be found guilty of 114 of 115 charges, I also didn’t expect the explanation to […] The post A £900m bombshell … and the rest appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

David Dein’s decision to hire the Frenchman ushered in an irreversible era of multiculturalism, giving birth to the globalised Premier League we know today

Morning. The first round of games of the Interlull = one injury sustained to a key player. I know as football fans, and Arsenal fans in particular, we can be a little fatalistic at times, but this really does feel like the most Arsenal thing in the world. Kai Havertz was on the end of […] The post Don’t whack Kai’s knee … Quentin Timber appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Morning all. We had a couple of stories yesterday about Mikel Arteta agreeing a new Arsenal contract, but I’m not even sure that’s particularly surprising. We await an official announcement, and I think it’s probably best to leave any commentary until then, but after guiding the club to its first Premier League title in 22 […] The post A Wednesday Arteta ramble appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Arteta's existing deal was set to expire in the summer of 2027.

Morning. Let’s start today with the news that Declan Rice has withdrawn from the England squad for their upcoming Nations League games. This is both pleasing, and worrying at the same time. The good bit is that a player who featured so heavily for Arsenal and England last season, and had scant rest after the […] The post Fried Rice? appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Morning all. So we go into the first Interlull of the new season, and an extended Interlull at that, in second place. Man City are top with 15 points, having won five from five, while Brighton sit just behind us in third place with 10 points. The season is obviously still young, and it might […] The post Three Interlull things appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Morning all. It’s another game away from home today as we visit Brighton for a rare 3pm Saturday kick-off. Mikel Arteta was asked about his defensive injury issues at his press conference yesterday, and without giving too much away, made it sound relatively positive, saying: We have another session, they are all willing to be […] The post A tricky trip to Brighton to try make it five wins from five appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Morning all. A very quick Friday round-up as I had a terrible night’s sleep, and this morning it’s like I exist in some kind of netherworld where everything looks more or less like it should, but feels marginally and disconcertingly different. Hopefully coffee will help. Mikel Arteta will hold a pre-Brighton press conference this morning, […] The post Friday round-up: Afternoon football, split squad, teenage kicks appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Morning all. Our reward for beating Ipswich on Tuesday night is a fourth round Carabao Cup tie against League Two Fleetwood Town who play at Highbury Stadium. Rings a bell. I realised I had no idea whatsoever where Fleetwood Town is, and it appears to be north of Blackpool on the west coast, so it’s […] The post The Gyokeres conversations will continue appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video Arsenal are through the Carabao Cup fourth round after a 4-2 win over Ipswich at Portman Road last night. Mikel Arteta rang the changes, with only Gabriel from Saturday’s starting XI in the team. With no Ben White, Cristhian Mosquera or Piero Hincapie, defensive options […] The post Ipswich 2-4 Arsenal: Dowman at the double as Salmon impresses at the back appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Morning all. Arsenal are away from home again, kicking off at 8pm again, this time in the Carabao Cup third round at Ipswich Town. You have to imagine Mikel Arteta will rotate as much as possible, but a shortage of players in the back four will make that area a little trickier than everywhere else.

Morning all. Earlier this year, PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited) rebranded as ‘Pro Ref’, and at the time Chief Refereeing Officer Howard Webb said, “Our focus is always on delivering the highest possible level of on-field performance.” A statement at the time said, “Pro Ref has been developed through consultation with officials and staff, […] The post Amateur hour from ‘Pro Ref’ appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video Arsenal made it six wins from six so far this season with a hard-fought win over Sunderland last night. Mikel Arteta changed his team back from the one that beat Napoli, with returns for Riccardo Calafiori, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Christos Tzolis and Kai Havertz, and while […] The post Sunderland 0-2 Arsenal: Raya the hero as Bruno goal adds salt to their wounds appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Morning all. We’re in Premier League action this evening when we take on Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. After some rotation in midweek, I expect some more this evening, with some of the players who didn’t start in Napoli coming back into contention. That will probably mean Riccardo Calafiori at left-back, Christos Tzolis and […] The post A little rotation again as we take on Sunderland away appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.
