Arteta's 10 year set-piece revelation : Long Throws : Fa-fa-fa-fa-Fashion | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Sorry it’s a bit of a late one this morning, but I needed to catch up some sleep. A few Saturday bits for you, and we’ll leave any Crystal Palace preview stuff until tomorrow. At his press conference yesterday, Mikel Arteta spoke about set-pieces, and revealed it was something that first occurred to him […]
The Flowers in the Dustbin | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
In his autobiographical novel ‘Fever Pitch’, Nick Hornby writes about Arsenal centre-half Willie Young’s ludicrous professional foul on 17-year-old Paul Allen in the 1980 FA Cup Final defeat to West Ham United. The Irons, then in the second tier (a level they may be reacquainted with again very soon) were underdogs against Terry Neill’s side […]
Can Jesus rise again? | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. A quick Friday morning blog for you. If I say the name Gabriel, no doubt this week you’ll immediately think of Magalhaes after his goal and assist in Tuesday’s 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid. You might even think Martinelli because he scored a great goal that night too. Maybe, if I ask you to […]
Episode 850 - The memes lied to us | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined Phil Costa to talk about Arsenal’s 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. We discuss the way the game was presented beforehand versus how it actually played out, what Diego Simeone’s team selection said […]
The pendulum swings | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. The last few weeks have been very interesting as an Arsenal fan. I can’t remember if I just said it on the podcast or wrote it here too, but after the 1-1 draw with Man City, Arseblog and Arseblog News was as busy as I’ve ever seen the two sites. People had a […]
Arsenal 4-0 Atletico Madrid: Rampant Gunners go 4G in the second half | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video Arsenal made it three wins from three Champions League games last night, turning on the style in the second half for a 4-0 win that few would have predicted over opposition like Atletico Madrid. It was a game we started brightly, an Eberechi Eze shot […]

Arsenal v Atletico Madrid : Arteta v Simeone | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. It’s a big one in the Champions League this evening as Atletico Madrid come to town. We’ve only played them once before in European competition, that was back in 2018 when we drew 1-1 at home in a game when they were down to 10 men very early on, before losing the second […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 663 - 20.10.2025 | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we look back on the 1-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday evening. It wasn’t a classic but we got the job done thanks to a Leandro Trossard goal in the second half. We discuss the […]
A good Sunday leaves Arsenal in good shape | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Well, that turned out to be a very good weekend for Arsenal, all in all. Although Man City won on Saturday, there was a lot of focus on Sunday’s games. Earlier in the afternoon, Aston Villa came from a goal down to beat Sp*rs 2-1, and they may have scored the goal of the […]

Fulham 0-1 Arsenal: Trossard/set-piece again, Olé Olé | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video Arsenal moved back to the top of the Premier League after a scrappy 1-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage yesterday. It was far from a classic, but earning three points at a ground where we’ve taken just one in the previous two visits is […]
Back in action with something to put right at Craven Cottage | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. We’re back in business today with a trip to Craven Cottage to take on Fulham. Let’s start with team news, and all the panic about Ben White was just that, with Mikel Arteta saying he should be available today as they were just managing his load – hence his reported absence from training the […]
Three questions for Arsenal for the next ‘block’ | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Another interlull is behind us but worry not, there will be another one along in just three and a half weeks! The first ‘block’ of the season was a challenging one for Arsenal with trips to Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle and a home game against Manchester City. If Arsenal are serious about winning the […]
Episode 849 - Conor McNamara | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined BBC commentator Conor McNamara. We chat about how got into the world of commentary as a teenager, his first game being one of the most profile fixtures in the football calendar, and how work on radio and TV in […]
Is Ben White all right? | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. A quick Friday blog for you, starting with Arsenal Women beating Benfica 2-0 in the Champions League last night. It’s been a tricky start to the new season, but Tim has all the coverage/reaction from Portugal over on Arseblog News. Back home, and we heard that Piero Hincapie has been training with the squad […]
Cristhian chat | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. I just woke up. Which is true of every morning until now, thankfully, but my point is I woke up later than I had planned. Which gives me a weird start to the day because I feel like I’m late for something even though I’m not. I’m one of those people who would rather […]
Arsenal boys on the scoresheet as the Interlull ends | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. The Arsenal lads were among the goals yesterday as the October Interlull came to a close. Let’s start with: Mikel Merino: He scored twice as Spain beat Bulgaria 4-0. He opened the scoring for his country with a solid header (watch here), and made it 2-0 with another decisive header (watch here) to make […]
Gyokeres : Odegaard injury update : WTF goodbye | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. As usual let’s start with the Arsenal players who were in Interlull action yesterday, beginning with: Viktor Gyokeres: Another game without a goal for the Swedish striker, another game without a goal for Sweden as they lost 1-0 to Kosovo. It’s a result which more or less extinguishes their hopes of qualifying for next […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 662 - 12.10.2025 | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode, after a discussion about root vegetables, we take a look at what the Arsenal players have been up to in the Interlull. From Bukayo Saka scoring a goal to Riccardo Calafiori having lots of shots. We also chat […]
Internationals and lower leagues | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Welcome to what feels like a very Interlull Monday. Let’s start with what our players were up to yesterday. Jurrien Timber: He played 62 minutes at centre-half in the Netherlands’ 4-0 win over Finland. They were 3-0 up at that point, and he was replaced by Brighton’s Jan Paul van Hecke. That concludes his […]
Interlull round-up: Zubimendi needs his dog | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. A quick Sunday round-up, looking at which of our players were in action yesterday. Starting with: Riccardo Calafiori: He played the full 90 on the left side of a back three in Italy’s 3-1 win over Estonia. It looked like he had a solid game defensively, and the Estonian goal from a big error […]
Made up numbers, assists, and not many goals | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all, hope you’re doing well today. Here’s a quick Saturday round-up for you, with as much as I could find this morning about Arsenal players who were in action yesterday. Viktor Gyokeres: He played the full 90 of Sweden’s 2-0 defeat to Switzerland in a home World Cup qualifier. Alexander Isak appears to have […]
Viktor-y Through Harmony | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Viktor Gyokeres was bought to address some very simple issues for Arsenal. On the one hand, the squad needed to boost its headcount in attack. Gabriel Jesus’ injury left Mikel Arteta with one recognised centre-forward in Kai Havertz and Arsenal needed to buy another simply to avoid the scenario where they were repurposing central midfielders […]
Episode 848 - Oh dear, we're quite good | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Clive Palmer to chat about Arsenal going into the Interlull top of the table. We discuss how it feels so far this season, with all the pressure from all directions, and whether it’s something we feel in a […]
Interlull round-up: Saka scores a cracka | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Happy Friday everyone. This is gonna be a very quick blog before I go and ruin a nice walk by trying to hit a small ball into a hole very far away. Let’s start with Bukayo Saka who scored a cracking goal for England as they beat Wales 3-0 in a friendly last night. […]
Goals, and defences, win you titles | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Arsenal news is pretty thin on the ground as you’d expect, but if you’re looking for something to worry about later, here’s who’s in action today. Jurrien Timber could play for the Netherlands away to Malta in a World Cup qualifier, while our England contingent (Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze and Myles Lewis-Skelly), […]
David Raya has earned a pay rise | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. It’s an Interlull Wednesday, perhaps the most Interlully of all Interlull days. International games for most of our players start tomorrow, and we’ll keep an eye on what they do as and when they’re in action. Let’s start today though with a story from the BBC about David Raya receiving a new deal from […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 661 - 06.10.2025 | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we look back at Arsenal’s 2-0 win over West Ham on Saturday. We chat about excitement at seeing Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze together in midfield, but that was short lived after the captain picked up an injury. […]
Chaotic, dynamic, effective: Riccardo Calafiori | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Welcome to the Interlull. I think this is going to feel like a long one, but I guess that’s fine given our position at the top of the Premier League table. If you want a list of who is doing what, and where, over the next 10 days or so, Andrew A has you […]
Arsenal confirm MCL injury for Martin Odegaard | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. We start the week and the Interlull on top of the Premier League, but there’s also a bit of bad news to kick off today with after Arsenal released an update on Martin Odegaard. He had a clash of knees in the 2-0 win over West Ham on Saturday, and has suffered damage to […]
Arsenal 2-0 West Ham: Zubimendi shines as Rice and Saka send Gunners top | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video Arsenal go into the Interlull top of the Premier League after a 2-0 win over West Ham at home yesterday. Much like the win over Olympiacos in midweek, it felt routine, almost an inevitability which, while not necessarily exciting, does demonstrate the strength of this […]

Arsenal have something to put right against West Ham today | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. It’s the final game before the Interlull today as we take on West Ham at home. It might be a strange thing to say, but I put today’s opposition in the same bracket as last weekend’s. Not that the Hammers are an intensely physical side who are given free rein to bludgeon their way […]
I'm yelling Timber | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Ben White has been one of Arsenal’s most consistent and popular players since signing for Arsenal from Brighton in the summer of 2021. His first season as a centre-half next to Gabriel was pretty good but his move to right-back a season later to accommodate William Saliba was a genuine masterstroke. White was a beneficiary […]
Episode 847 - European rotation | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Tim Stillman to look back at Wednesday night’s 2-0 win over Olympiacos. An early goal settled the nerves, but European games can be tricky, that proved to be the case here. Arsenal had chances to score, but so […]
Finished | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. I’m not feeling great today, some kind of cold, so this might be a short blog. Anyway, there’s not much going on this morning. Routine Champions League wins don’t leave too many ripples, and we’ll wait for Mikel Arteta’s press conference later to see if there’s anything interesting stirring there. I did want to […]
Arsenal 2-0 Olympiacos: Odegaard runs the show | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video Arsenal made it two 2-0 wins from two Champions League games with goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka book-ending a performance which should have brought more goals, but in the absence of those one which required us to keep tricky opposition at arms length. […]

Olympiacos preview + Big Willy extension official | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. It’s our first home Champions League game of the season as we face Olympiacos later this evening. They’re a team with whom we’ve had some history in this competition down the years, but more recently in the Europa League. We beat them in the 2020-21 season at the Round of 16 stage, but in […]
