Marked for Daniel Barnes

Match7 Apr 2027

The cup run ends for Arsenal

0‑1 against Liverpool, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Jérémy Jacquet: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Arsenal have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Tempers go at Arsenal

Vinícius Júnior was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Real improvement from Daniel Barnes at Arsenal

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Daniel Barnes is 17, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

No hiding place for David Raya

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to David Raya, and the manager let it.

Match10 Apr 2027

Manchester United take the points off Arsenal

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad12 Apr 2027

Declan Rice is carrying Arsenal

11 goals and a season average of 7.27. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Looking ahead12 Apr 2027

Top-of-the-table clash for Arsenal

Liverpool next, and the two sides the division is watching meet each other. Whoever wins will be told nothing is decided in the same breath as being congratulated.

Player ratings12 Apr 2027

One of those days for Declan Rice

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.00, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

Fee done, terms next for Adam Wharton

Arsenal and Crystal Palace have settled on $54.0M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

Liverpool tell Arsenal: Alexis Mac Allister is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match20 Jan 2027

Ebere Eze sends Arsenal through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Ebere Eze obliged against Nottingham Forest. 1‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Arsenal.

Market25 Jan 2027

Declan Rice asks to leave Arsenal

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market25 Jan 2027

Arsenal turn down Liverpool for Riccardo Calafiori

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Kepa Arrizabalaga stands alone

6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

Player ratings25 Jan 2027

Bukayo Saka beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 25. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Boardroom25 Jan 2027

Arsenal go back to the board over João Gomes

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $34.1M — a club that wants João Gomes enough to be asked twice.

Match23 Jan 2027

7 unbeaten for Arsenal

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Arsenal did not have in the autumn.

Match24 Oct 2026

8 unbeaten for Arsenal

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Arsenal did not have in the autumn.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Arsenal

Declan Rice was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Daniel Barnes is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 16 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Match24 Oct 2026

Vinícius Júnior sends Arsenal past Brighton

It finished 3‑1, and it was Vinícius Júnior’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Arsenal.

Player ratings26 Oct 2026

Ninety minutes of Bukayo Saka at his very best

Marked 8.46. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Arsenal.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

William Saliba gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say William Saliba is on it.

Squad26 Oct 2026

Bukayo Saka is carrying Arsenal

6 goals and a season average of 7.20. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Luke Clarke has his say

“We earned that. I asked them for a reaction and I got one, and now I want the same again on Saturday.” Luke Clarke on a 3‑1 afternoon that pleased him more than he was prepared to show.

The dugout26 Oct 2026

Kepa Arrizabalaga gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
