5 d. ago Martín Zubimendi: ‘I have to adapt but Arsenal signed me because they like what I do’

From replacing Rodri in the Euro 2024 final to leaving his hometown club, the calm Spain midfielder is taking everything in his strideMikel Arteta knew and so did Win. Dogs just do. “Well, of course,” Martín Zubimendi says, cracking up. The July day he walked through the doors at the Arsenal training centre, the club’s resident chocolate labrador – a therapy dog the head coach had brought in to bring the kind of calm wanted from the new signing too – was the first to welcome him. “It was lovely. I arrived with my parents, my agent, a small group, and he came straight to me, sat by me, rolled on the floor at my feet; that was very nice.”It was also the way he would have wanted it, part of the plan. “He’s a bit like yours,” the sporting director, Andrea Berta, offered as Win lent against the midfielder’s legs. Zubimendi’s dog, Lea, hadn’t made it to London – he’s hoping she will soon – but this was a good start. There was a letter from Mikel Merino and a video call from Martin Ødegaar...

8 d. ago Arsenal consider Emirates Stadium expansion to 70,000 capacity

Move would restore biggest London club ground statusStadium work could mean temporary move to WembleyArsenal are exploring the possibility of expanding the Emirates Stadium in a move that could restore its status as the biggest club ground in London.The Emirates has a 60,700-capacity, placing it behind Tottenham’s and West Ham’s homes, which were built after Arsenal moved from Highbury in 2006.

8 d. ago Club World Cup has left an injury trail that is damaging football. But will anyone listen? | Jacob Steinberg

Response to strained schedule has been more football than ever, and a danger that the best will have nothing left to give at the World CupCole Palmer and Ousmane Dembélé looked great when they were photographed sitting on Top of the Rock on the eve of the Club World Cup final but it is not being wise after the event to suggest that both might have been better off spending their summer lying on sunbeds.Top players struggling with fitness issues was foreseeable before the first edition of Fifa’s expanded tournament took place. “The worst idea ever,” was Jürgen Klopp’s take, citing concerns over the long-term impact of squeezing even more football into an ever expanding calendar. “Last year it was the Copa [América] and the European Championship, this year it’s the Club World Cup, next year it’s the World Cup. That means no recovery for the players involved.” Continue reading...

So much for bogey teams. In a week they have banished the demons of their poor recent record at Newcastle and here against Olympiakos, it was West Ham’s turn to feel the force of a resurgent Arsenal.Other than the concerning sight of first Martin Ødegaard and then Declan Rice, scorer of the first goal, having to be replaced because of injuries, this was a most satisfying afternoon for Mikel Arteta on his 300th match in charge. While 16% of Arsenal’s goals under the Spaniard have come from set pieces – a figure surpassed only by Tony Pulis and Sam Allardyce of those who have managed that many games in the Premier League – they showed they are still capable of breaking down teams who come to defend with a low block as well.

1 week ago Martinelli welcomes competition for places as Arsenal’s squad depth fuels belief

Arsenal substitutes have scored in five consecutive games and a sense of purpose is growing in Arteta’s sideGabriel Martinelli started the sequence when he came off the bench to open the scoring in Arsenal’s 2-0 Champions League win at Athletic Bilbao last month. He continued it when he came on again in their next game to conjure the stoppage-time equaliser against Manchester City in the Premier League. And together with everyone at Arsenal, not least Mikel Arteta, who has not stopped talking about the importance of “finishers”, he can luxuriate in how it has grown.When Bukayo Saka was introduced to score the clinching goal in Wednesday’s 2-0 Champions League victory over Olympiakos, it was the fifth match in a row that an Arsenal substitute had found the net.

2 w. ago Ødegaard and Gyökeres on centre stage as Arteta’s Arsenal plan takes shape | Barney Ronay

With an enticing run of fixtures coming up and the captain back to his best, an enjoyable autumn seems on the cardsAnd breathe. As Bukayo Saka shot low, hard and ultimately through Kostas Tzolakis in the Olympiakos goal to complete an occasionally uncomfortable 2-0 win, the noise from the home crowd was more a weary, sofa-flopping sigh than a roar of triumph, with the sense, finally, of a midweek putting-to-bed.This was a game Arsenal always looked like they were winning, despite seeming to realise this a little too early in the piece against eager and purposeful opponents. Nobody attracts the stern and unforgiving eye quite like this Arsenal team, for whom squad depth, the unforgivable act of acquiring a potentially title‑winning team, is the latest crime on the rap sheet.

2 w. ago Martinelli and Saka on the money as Arsenal sweep Olympiakos aside

They like to talk about invincibility in this part of north London and it remains the only way to describe Mikel Arteta’s record with Arsenal in European group phase ties at the Emirates Stadium. It is now eight wins out of eight in the Champions League with zero goals conceded. If you want to add in the Europa League from earlier in his tenure, it is 14 victories out of 14 with two goals  against.Olympiakos had pitched up with a remarkable statistic of their own. They had won on their last three visits to this ground, the most recent two coming in the knockout rounds of the Europa League, even if the second in 2020-21 did not prevent an aggregate exit.

2 w. ago It’s early, but every Premier League title contender already looks flawed

With late goals a major factor, the four major players for the trophy saw their narratives crystalize over the weekendSign up for Soccer with Jonathan Wilson hereThere’s always a danger this early in the Premier League season of reading too much into a single set of games. Titles may be lost in September but they are very rarely won. This past weekend, though, did feel like one where many of the prevailing narratives crystalised as Arsenal dug deep to win the sort of game they’ve become used to losing, Liverpool’s defensive shortcomings were exposed as they lost for the first time this campaign, Manchester City swept aside lesser opposition in the manner of old and Chelsea fell apart again.Liverpool have looked defensively shaky all season. Having been the team of control in the last campaign, making the unremarkable 2-0 win a trademark, they have become the side of the late winner, clinching games this season in the 88th, 94th, 100th, 83rd, 95th, 92nd and 85th minutes.
