Morning.
A fast Wednesday weblog for you. I see the Howard Webb TV present was on. The one the place they justify all of the errors referees make. The one that’s principally PGMOL propaganda dressed up as transparency. The one the place the lad from ESPN invitations all his no buddies round to observe collectively.
They launched the audio of the Declan Rice second yellow from the Brighton sport. I had a fast look. I closed my eyes and, only for a second, grew to become this emoji:
Then I realised I didn’t must inflict this entire factor on myself once more. It was talked about, it was complained about, after which we went and gained the North London derby despite it. So I don’t must re-open that may of worms. Properly, not till the subsequent time there may be an absurd, contentious resolution that you simply solely ever see given to Arsenal, however I don’t need to get forward of myself.
Elsewhere, the membership have launched the official first staff squad photograph for the brand new season:

It’s fascinating to notice that Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ayden Heaven and Tommy Setford are all included. They could be thought of peripheral when everyone seems to be match, however let’s not fake that everybody being match is a factor that occurs commonly. As it’s, Nwaneri has made the match-day squad for each sport to this point this season, and after some minutes within the derby he’ll fancy his possibilities of some game-time this week once we journey to Italy within the Champions League.
Let’s hope he will get that chance as a result of we’re in an excellent place and might afford to do it, however who is aware of? He could be required if we have to change one thing in midfield, so let’s see what the week brings. I’ve additionally seen some individuals chat in regards to the place of the ball in entrance of Martin Odegaard’s foot. Is it there to cover the true extent of his harm? Expertise being what it’s lately, I used AI to take away the ball, and fed all of the details about the ankle sprain into one other AI, then requested it to generate a real picture of his foot based mostly on all that knowledge.
It produced a video of a mutant Will Smith making an attempt to eat spaghetti, whereas utilizing sufficient power from the facility grid to gentle up a small city for a thousand years. Gotta love that AI.
Anyway, the staff shall be travelling right now for the sport towards Atalanta tomorrow. Mikel Arteta will meet the press afterward this night, and we’ll have a little bit of a preview podcast for you over on Patreon sooner or later this afternoon. I don’t count on there’ll be a lot distinction to the squad, maybe a pair extra children shall be included to round-up the numbers as we’re nonetheless prone to be with out Oleksandr Zinchenko, Riccardo Calafiori, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Mikel Merino, and Martin Odegaard. I believe there are some selections for the supervisor to make together with his staff, as a result of the sport on Sunday towards Man Metropolis is a tough one and can in all probability play some half in his considering, however we are able to talk about that in additional depth tomorrow.
In the meantime, Arsenal Girls are in motion this night as they tackle Hacken within the first leg of their closing Champions League qualifier. Let’s hope it’s a very good night time for Arsenal, and don’t overlook you’ll discover all of the protection you want over on Arseblog Information.
I’ll go away it there for right now. Have a very good one.
