It's nice when we take care of a team we should take care of.

Solid performance. Really great great to see the new guys immediately make positive impacts.

I thought our defense mixed in some mistakes and confusion, but nothing some more game time together can't fix.

It looks like Leeds really does intend to try to stay up this season by winning games 5-4. Wow. What a wild start to this one.

Martinez is apparently having his medical at Villa today. Deal gonna be around 21m.

The ball from Willian very similar to the one from Saka in the Community Shield


Yep. Aubameyang really likes that spot. He's so comfortable swinging it up and into the far corner.

Leeds is going to cause some trouble if they play like that every week.

Liverpool still doesn't look fully right, even in the win.

If they wouldn't give away stupid penalties they'd have won

The Leeds' handball was painful to watch. So stupid.


Arsenal women are on NBC Sports.

I guess they're going to show women's super league games to fill the gaps now that they're pushing EPL games on to Peacock.

I'm no expert, but this has all the makings of killing ratings for NBC

Watched the Fulham game yesterday afternoon and I find the shifting formation quite interesting. Defensively we look like a 5-2-3 most of the time but offensively we look kind of like a 4-3-3 or 4-2-4 with AMN a very wide LCM or a LW. What fascinates me though is the amount movement and positional interchange going on on the left between Tierney, AMN & Xhaka. At times its hard to tell what position any of the 3 are really playing.

Fortunately Arsenal has no idea what they're doing in front of the WHU goal so what should be a 5-1 first half blow out is still a competitive 2-1 affair.

Arsenal keeping it spicy for the ratings.

I thought it was yesterday but then wasn't sure as I somehow avoided the typical widespread coverage of these matches

Downside of having Arteta. He has made it clear that all positions are up for grabs (save Auba probably) and the players all seem to want to play for him, including the dead weight that we need to move on. Apparently West Ham are interested in Kolasinac, but he wants to stay and fight for his position.

I've heard that he wants to go back to Germany. This may be a case of preferring to stay at Arsenal unless he gets the opportunity to go back home.

The following video is posted to the Arsenal GK coach's personal youtube account. If I recall correctly he coached this guy in Denmark. Player is currently at Dijon in France and we are linked to a 2-3m GBP move for him.

Seems a good option and if Inaka likes him its good enough for me. Plus I'd love having an Icelandic player on the team.

Solid video there. Good in the air. In that video, at least, he comes across as an aggressive keeper. Helps him attack those crosses and cutting off the angles. He'd have to be careful about wandering out too far in the Premier League, lest they'll pass around him on a dime and put it in an open net. Him crawling around chasing that one ball would have given me a heart attack.

For 2-3 million, what the hell. Bring him over.

Keeper has never seemed to be a big issue for us...I'll trust whoever they bring in for the backup

This is pretty good look into the formation and tactics that Arteta has been using.

I don't see how we could let AMN go at this point unless someone wants to really pony up.

That's a good article. And makes me eager for the next match, and a chance to see it in action again.

Also sounds like we are getting Runarsson as the backup

Yeah I saw late last night or early this morning that all that is left is a medical and a signature.
