Morning, an early one today. Early like St Totteringham’s Day, am I right? A small thing to enjoy to kick us off this morning. Unfortunately though, we have to start with bad news, and that’s Gabriel Magalhaes. I wasn’t at all hopeful about his chances of facing Real Madrid after doing his hamstring against Fulham, […]

For the last two summers, Mikel Arteta has attempted to fill the hole left by Granit Xhaka with summer signings who never really adapted to the left central midfield role. And for the second consecutive season, the player Arteta signed to be the ‘left eight’ has really shown their value by moving to centre-forward in […]

Morning all. After Tuesday’s win, we wait. Wait for news on Gabriel. Wait for news on Jurrien Timber. Wait for news on Ben White. Given the way this season has gone so far with regards injuries, you wouldn’t be at all surprised if the news was bad. Good news has been in short supply, so […]

Morning. After what seems like a very long time, football is back as we take on Fulham tonight at the Emirates. The big news in terms of the team is the availability of Bukayo Saka who is ‘ready to go!’, according to Mikel Arteta. It was December 21st when he picked up that injury away […]

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we discuss the big story of the weekend – the appointment of Andrea Berta as the club’s new Sporting Director. We chat about the process and the other candidates, the work he has to do this summer, as […]

Morning all. Welcome to a brand new week, and the return of football tomorrow. Mikel Arteta will be holding his pre-Fulham press conference this morning, and I imagine one of the main lines of questioning will be the appointment of Andrea Berta as the club’s new Sporting Director. It’s been common knowledge for some time, […]

Morning all. News is thin on the ground this morning. For now anyway. Who knows what emerge later in the day? Yesterday’s FA Cup action saw Tuesday’s opposition Fulham get beaten 3-0 at home by Crystal Palace. Hopefully it’s a demoralising defeat that takes them weeks to bounce back from. Former Gunner Eddie Nketiah was […]
