Morning. Let’s start as we normally do during the Interlull with a look at which Arsenal players were in action last night. Just to be clear, I’m not really that interested in how they played, because it’s not especially relevant to me. William Saliba conceded a penalty for France, but when you look at the…

Morning. If you’ve wondered how next an Arsenal player is going to get sent off in a way you’ve never seen for any other player, I dreamed this morning that we were in a European final. The game kicked off, and one of the ball-boys ran onto the pitch to compete for a header by…

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this Interlull episode we chat about the Arsenal players who have been on international duty, including Bukayo Saka who has returned home after picking up a small injury with England. There’s discussion of Martin Odegaard amid rumours of a set-back,…

Howdy. A very quick Sunday round-up for you. First, Bukayo Saka has returned from England duty to Arsenal after picking up that injury the other night. He’ll have a scan and be assessed by our medical team, and then we’ll wait and see what the prognosis is. Assuming we get any information about it (see…

Morning all. It’s an Interlull Saturday so there’s not a lot going on. There are a few Arsenal players in action today, so hopefully they play well and stay healthy. That’s as much as I think I need to say about that. Yesterday saw some info doing the rounds about a setback for Martin Odegaard,…

Morning all. Let’s start with the worrying sight of Bukayo Saka going off during England’s 2-1 defeat to Greece last night. As you’ll be aware, I try not to watch these games, and I dread the buzz of my phone, but I was heading for an early night and just decided to have a quick…

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Philippe Auclair to discuss how much that surrounds the game of football is taking place in the courtroom. We begin by chatting about Man City’s legal challenge to the Premier League’s associated party transaction rules, and how it…

To date, a large part of the story of Gabriel Jesus’ career is of two World Cups that didn’t quite go as he wanted them to. This is true of a selection of mainstay Brazilian players, having not won the World Cup since 2002, even the best players of the intervening years- Neymar, Thiago Silva,…

Morning all. If there were bits and pieces yesterday, there aren’t many today. We’re in full Interlull mode, but Arsenal Women were in action last night and endured a 5-2 humbling away at Bayern Munich in the Champions League. It has added to the pressure on head coach Jonas Eidevall, and with Chelsea on the…

This morning I wrote the title of the blog before I wrote the first words of the blog. I almost never do this. What a peek behind the curtain I’ve given you to help you pass the time during this Interlull. The ‘process’ is always write first then think of a title. The only exception…
