Very exciting and a little bit surreal to have my hands on a hard copy. I’m also pleased to say that signed copies are available at @GoldsboroBooks via this link:

Football is in a weird place when Dowman's reaction to that tackle is deemed a more violent/punishable offence than the tackle itself. Two yellow cards would have been fine. Arteta's response was as disproportionate as the referee's decision to show red.

RT @RyanTaylorSport: Mikel Arteta has just said Noni Madueke has an ankle injury & Riccardo Calafiori + Declan Rice were unavailable for Arsenal at Fleetwood due to issues sustained vs Everton.

I suspect Mikel Arteta will feel a little differently about this situation when he sees a replay of what actually happened.

Reminder that this is on Thursday. Should be a great night with @charles_watts and @sr_collings

On Thursday 29th October, I’ll be joined by top Arsenal reporters @charles_watts and @sr_collings at The Gunners Pub for a book signing and a live Q&A session about all things #AFC. It’ll be a fun night. Join us!

Four-year-old Zach is fighting high-risk neuroblastoma. His family urgently needs to raise £339,000 in less than two weeks to help him access CAR T-cell therapy in Rome at the start of November. More here:

Mikel Arteta says he has been clipping up footage of other managers leaving the technical area during matches. He says he has evidence of other coaches leaving the technical area more than 30 times in 10 minutes without getting a yellow. He was booked today against Everton.

Arteta on set pieces: "In every phase of play we want to be the best and we are not going to stop until we do it. I am sure that [the set piece goal today] is going to unlock something in the players."

Arteta on Calafiori: “He had a slight issue. We don’t know what it is. It seems very small.”

£55m is obviously a lot of money for a 28yo centre-back but Ezri Konsa has been so good so far that it feels pretty cheap now. He has clearly built a very good relationship with Gabriel already. I thought Arsenal would really miss Saliba... but Konsa has fitted in so seamlessly.

Probably sums up Zubimendi's season so far that he finally gets some meaningful minutes in the Premier League and ends up getting smashed in the face and covered in his own blood. This is after he got injured in a cool-down a few weeks ago. When your luck's out...

Arsenal's centre-backs 2-0 Everton.

Gabriel immediately raised his hand to ask for medical attention when he made that clearance. His knee seemed to jam in the turf. He doesn't look comfortable at all but he's going to play on, it seems.

Before today, Arsenal had averaged five corners per match in the Premier League this season. In the first 45 minutes against Everton, they had 10 corners.

Set pieces are back on the menu for Arsenal. Ezri Konsa's first goal for the club is their first goal from a corner this season. "Set piece again, ole ole," sing the #AFC fans.

Arsenal v Everton.

Arteta on Saka: "He has another MRI today because he had quite a lot of fluid in the area, so it was difficult to understand the injury. We need a few more scans and opinions from specialists… there are not good signs but let’s be patient before a definitive assessment."

RT @goonerdave66: Massive respect to these top guys & their excellent books on Arsenal’s 22 year wait & the glory of 2026. @IsaanKhan_ @SamJDean @KevinWhitcher01 But will their wonderful work give you and your kids this on Christmas Day? 🎅 Thought not. 😊 Order now:

Great to see copies of this on the shelves of my local bookshop. Out today!

Arteta on Saka: "It does not look good at all. It's his quad."
