Squad5 Mar 2029

6 saves: Nahuel Pezzini was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Match3 Mar 2029

Arsenal are shipping goals every week

Two or more conceded in each of the last 6 matches. It is not one mistake repeating itself, which would be the easier thing to fix; it is a different one every week.

Match3 Mar 2029

4 matches without a win for Arsenal

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Arsenal are no longer polite ones.

Squad5 Mar 2029

Nahuel Pezzini signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Nahuel Pezzini commits to Arsenal for another 2 years.

Squad5 Mar 2029

A falling-out at Arsenal

Nahuel Pezzini and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings5 Mar 2029

Nobody could get near Nahuel Frascone

Successful dribbles: 21. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad5 Mar 2029

A row about effort at Arsenal

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nahuel Frascone was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match3 Mar 2029

Julián Ledesma’s goal not enough for Arsenal

Julián Ledesma scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to Defensores Unidos, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

The dugout5 Mar 2029

Nicolás Colombo: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 1‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market7 Feb 2028

Alex Urribarri hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Arsenal can pretend not to have heard.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Nahuel Pezzini in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Arsenal this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Graduation day at Arsenal

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Market7 Feb 2028

One of our own: Raúl Ojeda joins the Arsenal first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Raúl Ojeda is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market7 Feb 2028

Arsenal promote Facundo Moretti from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Facundo Moretti has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market7 Feb 2028

One of our own: Matías Godoy joins the Arsenal first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Matías Godoy is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Boardroom7 Feb 2028

Arsenal let a promise lapse

A date was given and it came and went. Nobody upstairs will call it a broken promise, and nobody downstairs will call it anything else for a long time.

Squad7 Feb 2028

Damián Pérez is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Damián Pérez has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Squad7 Feb 2028

8 new faces, and Arsenal are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

In brief

  • Boardroom Belts tighten at Arsenal
  • Boardroom Arsenal say no to the training-ground money
  • The dugout Julián Ledesma knocks on the manager’s door
