Tuesday Cannon Fodder: morning news
Photo by HENRY NICHOLLS/AFP via Tuesday mornings are so much more manageable now with Arsenal back in the Champions League, aren’t they? If I were Garfield, Tuesdays were my Mondays. But now, at least on some Tuesdays, I’ve got something to look forward to in the afternoon. Although the mid-afternoon matches does mess up Gunners the rescue pup’s walk / play schedule. But he’ll just have to deal with it. It’s his namesake club playing, after all. Shifting gears. I’ve spent the better part of the last decade doing my best to avoid the news given ***gestures...

Arsenal Injury Update: Thomas Partey, Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Declan Rice in training
Photo by Stuart MacFarlane/Arsenal FC via Good news on the injury front for the Gunners. The Arsenal injury “crisis” seems to be mostly over before it’s even begun. Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, and (surprisingly) Thomas Partey were all in training ahead of the Gunners’ Champions League match at RC Lens on Tuesday. Declan Rice, who played at the weekend, was also in training. Throughout last week, Mikel Arteta suggested that the back problem that forced Rice off at halftime against Tottenham was still making him “uncomfortable” but that may have been...

Arsenal Women vs Liverpool: What to watch for, how to watch
Photo by David Price/Arsenal FC via Arsenal Women kick off the season at the Emirates. The Barclays WSL makes it return tomorrow across the league, with Arsenal Women hosting Liverpool at the Emirates. Arsenal have sold over 50,000 tickets, which is not bad given that Liverpool Women don’t have the same resonance as Liverpool in the Premier League. Indeed, Arsenal’s first two home games this season are at the Emirates, with the Gunners hosting Aston Villa in two weeks time. Here are three things to watch for: Can new signings make mark?

Arsenal 4 - Bournemouth 0 match report: comprehensive
Photo by Christopher Lee/ A scintillating display from the Gunners. You couldn’t script it better than that. Arsenal cruised to a 4-0 victory over Bournemouth, without getting out of second gear. The Gunners extended their unbeaten run to start the Premier League to seven matches and nine in all competitions. The Cherries, on the other hand, are still looking for their first win of the season. Laudably (and foolishly) Bournemouth tried to play their heavy pressing style against Arsenal, which the Gunners passed through and around with ease. The Arsenal defenders and...

Arsenal vs. Bournemouth match thread: next man up
Photo by Steve Bardens/ The Gunners have several injuries. Players will need to step up. Arsenal travel to the south coast to take on Bournemouth, who are searching for their first Premier League win of the season. The Cherries have three draws and three losses on the season and sit just outside the relegation zone in 17th place. Hopefully the Gunners’ banged-up squad won’t be the tonic that cures their woes. In one sense, nobody really cares that the Gunners have a bunch of injuries and players at less than 100%. The Premier League table certainly doesn’t care...
