It’s all about the Benjamin
Morning all. A very quick Friday blog for you. The main story today is about links to Slovenian forward Benjamin Sesko – with a report from John Cross saying that Arsenal are in ‘pole position’ to sign the 20 year old from Disgustingly Sweet Energy Drink Leipzig. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see…

Episode 784 – Extending Arteta
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Harry Symeou from the Chronicles of a Gooner podcast to shoot the breeze about the goings on this week. We chat about the demands on players with the Euros and the Copa America coming up, as well as…

Boxing Clever
Formation graphics dominate a lot of thinking about how we view our teams, tactically. I think most Arsenal fans would view the team as playing in a 433 and that isn’t incorrect. I think a large number of supporters also appreciate that formations are fluid and look different in and out of possession. Sometimes your…

Extending Arteta’s contract makes perfect sense in this managerial market
Morning all. It’s pretty quiet as you’d expect. The dust has well and truly settled on the season, and it’s now all eyes on the summer. One thing to mention about the transfer business we all want the club to do is that it could be quite a complicated window. Ideally, you get your deals…

Sometimes the numbers do tell the story …
Morning all. Over on Patreon yesterday, Lewis and I did a player ratings podcast in which, quite unsurprisingly, we rated the players’ performance for last season out of 10. It’s fair to say there were a lot of high numbers in there. Even some 10s, you’d have to go listen to find out who, but…

Edu on transfers + Leah Williamson signs a new deal
Morning all. Thanks very much to Andrew A for filling in yesterday. I am glad the blog allowed him to vent and get some things off his chest. Cursing an entire football club is a great power, and with great power comes great responsibility. Somewhere out there, there’s a young, innocent Harry Potter Speccy Twat…

In this first episode of the off-season, we chat about our distinct FA Cup final experiences, and the ramifications of Man Utd winning the famous old trophy.

The Curse
Morning, all. Blogs is out of action so I’m covering this morning. As some of you who follow me on Twitter will know, I have a long-standing disdain for Leeds United. It dates back a couple of decades to a pub in Harrogate and an incident with one of their fans who labelled me, “Harry…

Sunday stuff: FA Cup final – Mika Biereth
Happy Sunday. I did not watch the FA Cup final yesterday. This is before: This is after: Does this mean Erik ten Hag gets to stay now? Here are my thoughts: What is quite funny though is that by winning the cup, United qualify for next season’s Europa League, bumping Chelsea down in the Europa…

Saturday round-up: Partey to go + Smith Rowe/Vieira futures uncertain
Morning all. Sorry for the lateness of today’s blog, but I slept it out. Or slept in. What is the difference there? Is there a distinction? Maybe sleeping in feels more deliberate, and sleeping it out is more accidental? I don’t know. And let me perfectly honest, I don’t care. I think I was mostly…
