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:

Exclusive book extract: a few months before joining Arsenal as head coach, Mikel Arteta came close to accepting another managerial position: Newcastle United. More details on that, plus a story about Chelsea attempting to hijack the Calafiori deal, here:

Andoni Iraola says Liverpool will be without Dominik Szoboszlai and Jeremie Frimpong "for some time" after they were both substituted with injuries at Brentford.
At Brentford v Liverpool. The first 30 minutes can be summarised as follows: Barcola bad (completely messed up a one-v-one) and Jacquet good (yet again). Brentford have been the more dangerous team.
Arsenal injury update from Mikel Arteta: Martin Zubimendi may be available for this weekend. Piero Hincapie “will need another week or two” and Christos Tzolis is also going to be out for a couple more weeks.

Arteta's Arsenal have a new trademark goal. Set pieces are out... and flowing passing moves are in. So far this season, #AFC have already scored five goals after a sequence of 10 passes (36% of all goals). Last season, it was just 10%. Is Wengerball back?!

Arteta starts his press conference with a tribute to Ken Friar: "There are people in football clubs that create an identity, create values and have a vision to create a future. The legacy that Ken is going to leave, to all of us and to our club, is going to be forever."
Eze's first goal of the season. He needed that, I think. Still not sure he's done enough to nail down that left wing position in the absence of Tzolis but it's progress.
Such a classy finish by Timber. His first goal since March. Arsenal had been working the ball into those positions all game and finally it brings the breakthrough.
Arsenal have worked themselves into lots of promising positions but there has been a real lack of quality with the final pass/cross/shot. Arteta sprinted down the tunnel at the half-time whistle.
