Morning. Arsenal are in Champions League action this evening, and while there’s still room for Mikel Arteta to rotate his squad, we go into this one without two players who would likely have started the game. The manager confirmed that both Martin Zubimendi and Piero Hincapie picked up injuries in a small-sided game that took […] The post Double injury complicates selection but still room for rotation against Lille appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction  Arsenal got back to winning ways yesterday after a difficult 2-1 win over Leeds. There was a bit of a surprise in the starting XI with Noni Madueke preferred to Eberechi Eze on the left, while Kai Havertz started up front when the prevailing wisdom was this […] The post Arsenal 2-1 Leeds: Calafiori and Guimaraes help Gunners turn it around appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Morning all. We’re back! After three long weeks of an Interlull coupled with sitting on that defeat to Brighton, Arsenal are in action again today with a 12.30 home game against Leeds. Without taking anything for granted, it’s a relatively kind way to get going again, but obviously we’ll have to be a lot, lot […] The post A long wait but it’s time to respond appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

Morning all. There’s only one place to start today and that’s confirmation of Mikel Arteta’s contract extension. The manager signed a new deal which will keep him at the club until June 2030, and I don’t think there’s any way to frame this other than great news. It’s a deserved renewal, not just for the […] The post Good news everybody – Mikel Arteta signs a new contract appeared first on Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog.

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.

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.

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.
