Match report – Player ratings – Video The walk, from Nueva Plaza in Bilbao’s old town, up Gran Via, is basically a straight line all the way to Estadio San Mames. The red and white of Athletic Club and their fans is everywhere. Young and old making their way to the game. The bars and […]

Will Arteta shuffle the pack a bit as the Champions League begins? | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Our Champions League campaign kicks off this evening with a first ever competitive meeting with Athletic Club. We beat them 3-0 in pre-season, but this is a different thing altogether, not least because we’re away from home this time. The team news is that Martin Odegaard didn’t make the trip after injuring his shoulder […]
Bilbao : David Raya | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Good morning from Bilbao. This is my second blog of the day. To explain, I woke up, dozed back off, then dreamed I’d written a whole blog about Jurrien Timber, which was very pleasing because it looks like this is a quiet news day on the Arsenal front. It was like when you were a […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 658 - 13.09.2025 | 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 the 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday afternoon. We chat about the team selection, with first Arsenal starts for Cristhian Mosquera and Eberechi Eze, the early injury to Martin Odegaard, and making the […]
Arsenal 3-0 Nottingham Forest: Depth on display | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video I tried to imagine how it might have gone in the not too distant past if Arsenal played a game without Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and William Saliba because they were injured. How it might have gone with Declan Rice, Ben White, Leandro Trossard and […]

It should be Eze on the left as Forest visit | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. An early kick-off means a quick early preview of our game against Nottingham Forest. There was some unexpected good news from Mikel Arteta in his press conference as he revealed William Saliba was back in training, far earlier than had been previously expected or reported. He said: Wilo trained today, so we’ll have a […]
Left Unsaid | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Arsenal’s transfer business over the last few seasons suggests that Mikel Arteta knows what the majority of supporters can see. The right-hand side of the Gunners team ticks over very nicely indeed. The trio of White, Odegaard and Saka has been far from an unknown quantity for a few years now. Jurrien Timber has also […]
Calafiori dreamin' ... | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. There’s not a lot going on right now. Mikel Arteta’s press conference takes place after lunch, so we’ll get some team news then. Possibly. There was a small update yesterday when Sky Sports cameras at the training ground caught Ben White and Christian Norgaard with the main squad, back after their early season injury […]
Episode 844 - Interlull 1 over | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Philippe Auclair to chat about some of the Arsenal players’ exploits while on international duty, including Noni Madueke who impressed for England, and Martin Odegaard who looked good for Norway. Then there’s discussion about the left-hand side, Eberechi […]
Thinking about the left | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. I guess this morning Mikel Arteta will arrive for training and have a word first and foremost with the medical staff to see what the lay of the land is with the players who were away on international duty. If you want a full round-up of who did what, where, and for how long, […]
A good night for the international Gunners | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. It was a productive night for some Arsenal players in action for their countries last night. Let’s start with Norway where Martin Odegaard got on the scoresheet and provided a couple of assists as they beat Moldova 11-1. Two guesses as to who scored 4 goals. That’s right, it was Thelo Aasgaard, Ayden Heaven’s […]
Gyokeres shoots, Nwaneri scores, Martinelli talks | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. In yesterday’s Interlull action Riccardo Calafiori didn’t play at all for Italy which I think is good but it’s also something that has me a bit worried. There’s no report of any injury, but he played the 90 minutes of the previous game so a complete lack of involvement has my spider senses tingling […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 657 - 08.09.2025 | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this Interlull episode we catch up with what some of the Arsenal boys have been up to on international duty, including four on show for England, Max Dowman getting fouled a lot by a bloke with a made-up name, and […]
Renowned DM Mikel Merino grabs a hat-trick for Spain | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Welcome to a brand new week, and we’re starting with Mikel Merino who was on fire last night as Spain ran out 6-0 winners in Turkey. The Arsenal midfielder scored a really nice hat-trick to make it 6 goals in his last 7 international appearances, a pretty hot streak for someone who had scored […]
Sunday round-up: Smith, Rice, Saliba | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. A quick Sunday blog for you, starting with Arsenal Women who kicked off the new WSL season with a 4-1 win over London City Lionesses. The opening Arsenal goal, from £1m summer signing Olivia Smith, was really quite something – hopefully a marker for the kind of quality the team can produce over the […]
Saturday round-up: Lost words, Gyokeres builds fitness | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Apologies today’s blog is a little later than usual. I woke up around 6am, which is more or less my usual time, but the weekend alarm isn’t set so I dozed back off. Before that, I had a Billie Eilish song going around in my head, and I also came up with the greatest […]
Episode 843 - Injuries | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Dr Andrew Mitchell to cover the thorny subject of injuries at Arsenal and in football generally. We take listener questions on topics like the prevalence of hamstring injuries and worries about recurrence; when can/should a manager overrule a […]
Interlull round-up + Besiktas make reported Trossard bid | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. A quick Friday blog for you. There were some Arsenal players in action last night for their countries, starting with Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Merino for Spain. The former provided an assist with a very smart pass for his former Real Sociedad teammate Mikel Oyarzabal to open the scoring against Bulgaria, while the latter […]
New signing profile: Piero Hincapie | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Following some late left-sided departures, Arsenal managed to squeeze in one more deal to make Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie their eighth summer signing. But who is the Ecuadorian, what will he bring to the side and is he worth (up to) £45 million? Phil Costa reports. — Arsene Wenger once spoke about the best […]
Market drivers | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Arsenal have had an unprecedented summer transfer window with Mosquera, Hincapie, Eze, Arrizabalaga, Gyokeres, Norgaard, Madueke and Zubimendi coming into the senior first team squad. It’s certainly the biggest influx of players I can ever recall in one summer transfer window. I wanted to break down some of the reasons that I think Arsenal have […]
Champions League squad named: Dowman in, no place for Jesus | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. It’s Thursday and we’re right into the Interlull now. If you want to find out who is doing what with their international teams, Andrew A has you covered over on Arseblog News. As ever we keep fingers, toes, and everything crossed that we come back with no further issues on top of the ones […]
Handbrake off | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. I realise people’s opinions on what we saw on Sunday against Liverpool vary, and while I think there were things from Mikel Arteta I would have preferred to see (Eberechi Eze starting, a role for Ethan Nwaneri even later in the game), I understood the manager’s approach. You rarely see a team go to […]
Piero Hincapie signs + full summer transfer window 2025 breakdown | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. The transfer window of summer 2025 closed yesterday, and as expected Arsenal completed one more incoming deal, with the arrival of Piero Hincapie on loan from Bayer Leverkusen. There is an option to make it permanent next summer and the general consensus is that’s what we will do. This isn’t a deal where we’re […]

Colouring outside the lines | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
In 2023-24, Arsenal Women toiled against low blocks. They lost games they shouldn’t have lost away at Spurs and West Ham and at home to Liverpool. In the bigger games they performed well, doing the double over Manchester City, taking four points off Manchester United and thumping Chelsea 4-1 at home. This was largely because […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 656 - 31.08.2025 | 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 today’s 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield. We discuss the starting line-up with Mikel Merino chosen in the absence of Martin Odegaard – was Mikel Arteta too cautious, or does the late winner impact […]
Champions League draw reaction : Havertz has knee surgery | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Let’s start today with the Champions League draw that took place yesterday evening. I didn’t watch it live, because I find these things interminable. Andrew Allen is a braver man than I, and I enjoyed his report on the nonsense that preceded the actual draw itself: UEFA forced everyone to sit through 30 minutes […]
Liverpool preview: Eze from the start, or later? | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. It’s a tough away trip today as we visit Anfield to take on Liverpool. Having won on the opening day at Old Trafford, you’d take the same again today, but I do hope there’s a different performance from us against the reigning Champions. Against United, we never really got a hold of the game […]
Episode 842 - Depth | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Adrian Clarke to discuss Arsenal’s incredible squad depth. We chat about the way it provides a safety net for injuries, but also how it can provide Mikel Arteta with greater tactical variation this season. We also chat about […]
They just keep coming ... | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. The summer of 2025 will go down in history as the great migration, as players from everywhere flocked to Arsenal. They came from far and wide. From Lisbon to London, from Leverkusen to the Basque Country. These footballing immigrants added joy to people’s lives and the wider community, seeking gainful employment and bringing skills […]
New signing profile: Eberechi Eze | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
With Kai Havertz suffering another untimely injury, Arsenal jumped at the chance to make Crystal Palace playmaker Eberechi Eze their seventh(!) summer signing. But who is the England international, what will he bring to the side and why is he costing (up to) £67.5 million? Phil Costa reports. — Football is often described as the […]
Liverpool 1-0 Arsenal: Caution from both managers and one moment of brilliance | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video After a 22 game unbeaten run, Arsenal tasted defeat against one of the ‘big six’ yesterday, going down 1-0 to Liverpool at Anfield. Sometimes you’re well beaten – outplayed and deserving of nothing much from a game; sometimes you lose because of a single mistake […]
Waking up to funny stuff + Nelson linked with Palace | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. I can’t lie, I didn’t even know Man Utd were playing last night, but waking up to news they lost a penalty shoot-out to Grimsby in the EFL Cup is a funny way to start your Thursday. Not least because they were 2-0 down, pulled it back to 2-2, and then lost the shoot-out. […]
Kiwior linked with Porto, Berta's loan + obligation drive | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. I know there’s probably a cut-off point when it comes to Eberechi Eze content, but I’m not quite there yet. The behind the scenes video of his first day dropped yesterday, and his reaction to seeing the red and white shirt with Eze 10 on the back of it is just perfect. Just trying […]
Complete your summer with an Ecuadorian left-back! | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Like many of you, I’m sure, I watched last night’s game between Newcastle and Liverpool with half an eye on our trip to Anfield next Sunday. It was a bit of a sickener in the end, with the Mugsmashers snatching it with a late goal, but if you were looking for ‘positives’ it’s that […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 655 - 25.08.2025 | 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 what was an exciting weekend for Arsenal fans. The signing and presentation of Eberechi Eze almost overshadowed what was a very impressive win for Mikel Arteta’s side – so we chat first about the […]
Tactics Column: How Gyokeres can right Arsenal's wrongs | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
With Arsenal’s Premier League season beginning with a trip to Old Trafford, it feels apt that it’s Mikel Arteta’s analysis of this fixture exact last season that I have not been able to get out of my head since March. As fans, we often look at the team and think it is built entirely in […]
Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal: Result ✅ Performance 😬 | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video Back in March, Arsenal went to Old Trafford and played really well, particularly in the first half. We drew that game 1-1 on a day when the lack of cutting edge up front was a significant issue. Yesterday, we went to Old Trafford and played […]
