In case you didn’t know… Aubameyang has been in great form since joining Arsenal from Borussia Dortmund in the January transfer window of 2018. He has scored 30 goals in 48 Premier League games for the Gunners thus far. This season, the Gabonese international has scored 20 goals in the league and is just behind Mohamed Salah in the race for the Premier League Golden Boot. He has been in great goalscoring form in the UEFA Europa League as well, netting eight times in the north Londoners’ run to the final of the competition....

The former Southampton man impressed in a central midfield role on his first start since his return from injury and told Sky Sports that he is keen to continue the “amazing feeling” of scoring. “It’s something I want to add to my game – more goals – so it was nice to get two today. “It’s always an amazing feeling to score a goal and especially at a stadium like the Emirates and I’m glad I can help the team with two goals....

Arsenal injuries, suspensions and line-up vs Man City The league’s third and fourth-placed teams meet at the Etihad Stadium in a fixture that has averaged four goals per game over the last three seasons. Wenger is keen to see his side respond to Tuesday’s 2-1 defeat at Everton, in which Gunners squandered a 1-0 lead. And he expects a battle of footballing philosophies with Pep Guardiola to delight fans of attractive and expansive football....

Arsenal were due to face Vorskla in the city of Poltava on Thursday, with the Gunners top of Group E on 10 points. But instead the game will be played at Olimpiyskiy Stadium, which hosted the 2018 Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool. “UEFA’s Emergency Panel has today taken the decision to relocate Vorskla’s Europa League group stage match against Arsenal from the city of Poltava, following the introduction of martial law into certain regions in Ukraine,” a statement from UEFA said....

Alexis Sanchez scored a 92nd-minute winner from the spot after Aaron Ramsey was adjudged to have been pushed over in the area by James Tarkowski. Burnley were incensed by the decision, which consigned them to a third-successive stoppage-time defeat against the Gunners - the last two of which have been sealed by Sanchez spot-kicks. However, Wenger was strong in his initial assessment of the incident. “It looked a clear penalty....

In case you didn’t know… Mustafi joined Arsenal from Valencia CF back in 2016 for a reported fee of € 41million. Since joining Arsenal, the German centre-back has already made 84 appearances for the Gunners. Last season, Arsenal’s defence struggled a lot due to an evident lack of communication between the defenders as they conceded 51 goals from 38 league games and were the second-worst defensive side among the top nine teams in the Premier League 2018-19....

Arsenal want to reinforce their attack this summer, with their frontline failing to deliver last season. They drew another blank against Brentford on Matchday 1 of the new season as well. The Gunners are also planning to bring in a new goalkeeper before the end of this month. On that note, let’s take a look at the major Arsenal transfer news from 15 August 2021. Jamie O’Hara wants Arsenal to target three players this summer Former Arsenal midfielder Jamie O’Hara has urged the Gunners to invest in the transfer market following their disappointing defeat against Brentford....

The only real chance of note was Alexandre Lacazette one-on-one with the keeper when through on goal, but he narrowly missed scoring as his attempts to lob the ball over the onrushing keeper was just some centimetres from going into the net. However, it must be said that Unai Emery tactical work with the team off the field is paying dividends. Here are some things we noticed:- #1 Our perceived improvement at set piece...

Both teams have had contrasting campaigns. Chelsea under new boss Antonio Conte cantered to the Premier League title while Arsene Wenger’s side finished fifth and failed to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in 20 years. Against each other, though, both teams won at home in convincing fashion. But league form goes out the window when it’s a cup final where anything can happen. Can the Gunners win a 13th FA Cup and set a new record or will the Blues win their first FA Cup since 2012?...

The Gunners looked doomed under Unai Emery and were on the verge of a collapse until the Spaniard was sacked. Former Arsenal legend Mikel Arteta left the luxuries of former Premier League champions Manchester City for the Gunners’ head coach job. He took over late in December, and after a slow start, he appears to have done a superb job. Although performances left a fair bit to be desired at the beginning, Arsenal finally seem to be gathering some momentum....

These types of controversies, far from new in the art world, can highlight the sometimes-tenuous relationships between artists and the institutions that often fund them. This particular incident comes after the Kunsten Museum of Modern Art in ​​Aalborg, Denmark, loaned Haaning 538,000 kroner (approximately $84,000) to replicate two of his prior artworks, from 2007 and 2010, respectively. The former was intended to display, in a frame, the average annual income in Austria for that year—the latter was its Danish counterpart....

As Roth knows-and we movie critics know even better-the scoundrels in the ad departments of the Hollywood studios make a habit of pulling good quotes like rabbits out of the most unlikely hats. The flap over the studio-invented Manning was like Proust’s madeleine to me, setting off memories of all the times my words had been twisted beyond recognition. This is why I couldn’t be too shocked that two guys at Sony had simply invented the quotes they wanted see in their ads....

Excluding two of his own groups, The Four Horsemen and The Dangerous Alliance, Arn Anderson selected The Shield and The Wyatt Family in his top three. He also mentioned The Stud Stable (Robert Fuller and Jimmy Golden), a tag team who worked from 1982 to 1996. Please credit Arn Anderson’s ARN podcast and give a H/T to SK Wrestling for the transcription if you use these quotes. The Shield and The Wyatt Family in WWE Arn Anderson played an important role backstage in WWE around the time that The Shield and The Wyatt Family burst onto the scene....

WHAT IS THE FUTURE CUP? The ABN Amro Future Cup has become a household name in international youth football. The first edition was held in 2010, and since then the Under-17 teams of the world’s top clubs gather annually to compete. The competitors change every year with clubs and national sides both playing in the tournament. In the maiden year, China’s Under 17s reached the final, only to lose to Ajax, led by current first-team captain and that year’s player of the tournament Davy Klaassen....

Two upfront would be a relief for me to see, for one. Many would agree, that RvP was basically our only source of goals. Walcott got 8, which is respectable but not for your second highest goalscorer. I like Van Persie in the no.10 role, behind the striker. With a target man, and clinical finisher in Giroud up front, this season should await attacking, free-flowing, and fun-to-watch football from the Gunners!...

The former Germany international, who joined Arsenal from Werder Bremen in 2011, will continue to be a part of Arsene Wenger’s squad next season but will also develop his knowledge and understanding of the club’s youth setup. “This is the start of an exciting new chapter for me and I am delighted that I will be able to stay part of the Arsenal family," Mertesacker said in a statement....

Reports suggest attacking duo Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette may be unavailable when Arsenal welcome their local rivals to the Emirates. Both players were absent in the Gunners’ opening game of the season against Brentford on Friday night due to illness, forcing Mikel Arteta to field youngsters Folarin Balogun and Gabriel Martinelli in attack. It wasn’t the dream opener Arsenal would’ve expected. Arteta’s men put up a shambolic display at the Brentford Community Stadium....

Arsenal fans, including myself, have been complaining about our ex-player’s lack of loyalty to the club: Nasri, Hleb, Flamini, Song, Clichy, Van Persie, Adebayor, Toure and even Fabregas and (dare I say it) Henry to a certain extent. These players have left us over the last couple of seasons. It’s disappointing and enraging. We feel that we would be a lot better off if only these players had stayed. We call them traitors, disrespectful, etc....

Ramsey was at fault for the first 2 goals and Twitter was brutal! “Why is Giroud still playing for us?” “Our title challenge is over!” And finally, reality strikes! 0 votes

#1 Lucas Torreira Initially, there were fears that Lucas Torreira had picked up an injury while on international duty with Uruguay against Mexico, after being substituted after the first half. In the second half, Torreira was seen with an ice pack wrapped to his calf, although the fact that he made it back to the bench in the second half meant that the injury was not as bad as feared initially....
