Arseblog … an Arsenal blog

Match report - Player ratings - By the numbers - Video Everyone knows the old cliche about how football is a game of two halves, but Arsenal again demonstrated they're like a team of two halves with a second 45 minutes that brought about our tenth successive win in all competitions. In our last seven Premier League games we've been...

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. On this week's show we record right after our 3-1 win over Leicester at the Emirates. An iffy first half was followed by an excellent second, Mesut Ozil and his captain's armband stole the show, and we scored yet another sublime goal to help us to...

I know the Interlull was officially over last week but our special extended version ends tonight when we face Leicester City at home, our first football action for fifteen days. A win tonight would make it ten in a row, but it all depends how we find ourselves after the break. Sometimes an Interlull can actually be a bit...

Good morning. A very quick Sunday round-up for you ahead of our game against Leicester tomorrow night. From an Arsenal point of view there's not a great deal going on. Unai Emery says he was interested in signing Alexandre Lacazette for PSG when he was manager there, but suggested the complicated nature of the relationship between that club and Lyon...

Yesterday our new Head of Football, Raul Sanllehi, and the club's new Managing Director, Vinai Venkatesham, gave an interview to the BBC – read the full transcript here. As you're all aware, these two men will be the ones responsible for the running of the club after the departure of Ivan Gazidis at the end of this month. As the...

As we're all aware, Arsenal are on a nine match winning streak. This is clearly a good thing. A positive thing. A happy thing. We're just two points off the leaders, we're in the top four, and after the start to the season we had, it's been a fantastic response and the team has shown resilience, character and a...

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast - the Arsenal podcast. On this week's show I chat with Clive Palmer about the work Unai Emery is doing, from creating a pathway for young players to make it to the first team, to changing the mentality of the players as he looks to build a platform on which to create his...

There was a time when Arsenal were derided as ‘a selling club.’ As Arsene Wenger began to replace the squad bequeathed to him by George Graham with little known players from France and down on their luck talents in need of some TLC, Europe’s elite began to sit up and take notice. Suddenly, Arsene Wenger found that his charges...

At this point I assume all of our international travellers are back in London, and ready to get down to the business at hand. That business is getting ready to play Leicester on Monday, then go to Lisbon next week, then return to London to play Crystal Palace on Sunday and then ... well, let's take it three games...

Good news everybody! This Interlull is over, and you're reading this in the voice of Professor Farnsworth from Futurama. The bad news is that there's another one next month and while almost everyone else gets to play this weekend, we have to endure an extra Arsenal free couple of days before we play Leicester on Monday night. What a tremendous...

Throughout this Interlull my interest has been primarily that our players come back without injury. It's been so far so good, but then via @AFCPressWatch2 I saw a story about Sokratis Papastathopoulos which doesn't sound that promising. Google Translate isn't that helpful really as when you put the headline and body of the story into it and ask it to...
