Morning from a very chilly Dublin. Winter has arrived. Booooo! Let’s start with the bad news, and something I can’t say is a surprise. It was reported by James and David Ornstein in The Athletic yesterday (€) that Gabriel is set to miss a significant chunk of time with the injury he sustained playing for […]

Morning, it’s very Interlully, so let’s do a bit of ‘On this day’ to see us through today’s blog. November 18th 2023 Everton have been deducted 10 points for exceeding PSR thresholds. I wrote: I don’t know what’s going to happen, but the Everton decision feels like the first crack in the dam. Where it […]

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we chat about the international football, including a great day for Ireland, and how Eberechi Eze’s brilliant goal for England didn’t get the recognition it deserved. Then, in the wake of the Gabriel injury news, we discuss how […]

Morning all. I suspect there might be some sore heads around Ireland this morning after the extraordinary 3-2 win over Hungary yesterday. The hero was Troy Parrott, who scored a hat-trick, and an incredibly last gasp winner to send the boys in green through to a playoff for the World Cup next March. What a […]

Morning. Bad news to start with today, and that’s Gabriel picking up an injury playing for Brazil yesterday. I don’t think it’s ironic the game took place at the Emirates, his domestic home, just another layer of annoyance. It came midway through the second half, and Brazil manager Carlo Ancelotti said afterwards: He had a […]

Morning from Dublin, we are now 18 hours into the wettening. The rain hasn’t stopped since yesterday. ‘Ah, but surely that’s normal for Ireland’, I hear you say. But no. It’s not. We have our fair share, but this is certainly abnormal, and I don’t care for it. It’s not that I have any big […]

Over the summer I wrote a piece about Leandro Trossard in which I argued that he had had a better season than he’d been credited for. In 2023-24, as Arsenal fought tooth and nail with Manchester City for the title, winning 16 of their last 18 Premier League matches, Trossard enjoyed a 2002 Freddie Ljungberg […]

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Ryan Hunn for a statements episode. I put statements to him, solicited from our Patreon members, which has to either Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, or Strongly Disagree with. Topics covered include Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Sunderland being a […]

Morning all. We are now 100% in the Interlull. We approached it, circled it for a bit, but now we’re in it. If you want to find out who is doing what, and where, during this break, we have you covered in this post over on Arseblog News. There are some Arsenal players in action […]

Morning. Let’s begin today with fixture news, and because of our Carabao Cup quarter-final with Crystal Palace scheduled for Tuesday December 23rd, our Premier League game with Everton has been moved from Sunday 21st at 2pm, to Saturday 20th at 8pm. Arsenal said in a statement: Playing two matches within a 48-hour period contravenes FIFA […]
