In today’s edition of Inside Arsenal I take a look back at the opening weekend victory against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. I give my thoughts on the win and look at what Mikel Arteta had to say on the performance. I also discuss Jurrien Timber’s injury, Marquinhos’ move to France and David Raya’s imminent transfer to Arsenal.

Thank god you’re back, Charles. Having to rely on low-tier fan channels for that Arsenal fix midweek has been painful.
Where is the narrative of Arsenal destroying Palace coming from? It was 2 shots on target and 2 goals, 1 was an og, palace had more of the ball and more passes.
I believe Saliba was motm due to how much we defended the second half, let's not rewrite history, there were some ropey performances at the start of last season, we just managed to win, like Fulham at home
Charles – Any way for an American to get a signed book?
Top stuff as always, Charles! Great content!
No sensible fan should takes XG seriously
Welcome back Charles 🎉
Raya will be number 1 !!!!
So glad you are back!! Glad you had a great holiday!!! Matt Turner still trying to pick Saka’s shot out of the net lol!! World class!! Unbelievable Jeff!!! 😂
Hello Charles, It's good to have you back on your channel. I hope you enjoy your holidays with your family. Congratulations on your book.
Glad you're back Charles. Regarding Keepers; why do teams have to have a first & second choice Keeper? Why can't Ramsdale & Raya rotate like most players in other positions. I understand most teams don't because of giving the keeper confidence and stability. I just wonder why they couldn't alternate games (not just 1 playing in Premiership & Champions League & the other in F.A Cup & League Cup). That way we have a perfect sub waiting to come on if 1 of them gets injured. Both are excellent Keepers so lets keep and use both of them.
Watts on full voltage ⚡️ for the new season.
I cheated on you with AFTV whilst you were away. Really sorry but I'm human and do have Arsenal-related needs. I'm back now, so sorry Charles.
Good to have you back Charles.
I think you have to be honest here and I know how much a fan of Arteta you are but the selections were ridiculous and we were fortunate that Forest did not bury their sitter early chance. You cannot pick Partey as a full back – was a nonsens no Gabriel Tierney not even in the squad, Trossard again not picked. It's arrogance of a high level and AGAIN we will get punished for this kind of thing against better sides than Forest. He does have so many options but clearly does not know what to do with them… As for Havertz? I won't even go there, especially when an elite striker would bring the icing on the cake
I think somehow we have to be able to penetrate through the center of the park as it seems like we get closed down on the wings. Otherwise we are too predictable.
Welcome back Charles. Can you give us your season predictions? top 6, bottom 3, top scorer and player of the year
Good to see you back Charles. Been a massive miss over the best couple weeks for me. Looking forward to the book
Welcome back 🙂🇮🇪
Here in Adelaide I watched the game after the fantastic Matilda’s v France match .Went off to bed 20 minutes from the end as I found Arsenal to be so negative and positively boring- not surprised when I found out we’d conceded.Was Arteta actually experimenting his defensive structure during v a PL game ?
Arsenal we most believe in you
Charles. 5 minutes is too f long intro
Hi Charles, Welcome Back!
Have you watched the BACK HOME documentary? what are your thoughts? I thought it was awesome, its always great to see the behind the scenes, this makes me love Arsenal even more. Im looking forward to the documentary when we win the league! So far the two that are out have had a sad ending unfortunately
Great to have you back bro.
Welcome back charles
I prefer that we not peak to early
I think Tierny is better than Tomiyasu
Letting goals in at home was our problem all last season? 14 wins at home Charles, only 2 losses. Don't re-write history because of one or two games at the end of last season (Southampton and Bournemouth)
I remember the concern over signing Seaman when Luckic was our keeper and popular with the fans.
I've been looking at our current squad – it's looking really good..
Both GKs really good.
If Saliba or Gab get injured, we have Timber & Kiwior.
If White gets injured, we have Tomiyasu.
If Partey gets injured, we have Jorginho or Elneny.
If Rice gets injured, we have Zin & many CMs.
If Ode gets injured, we have Havertz, Emile or Viera.
If Martinelli gets injured, we have Trossard
If Saka gets injured, we have Nelson – this is a weak link.
If Jesus gets injured, hv Nketiah and Reiss – this is a weak link.
Not sure why we're still looking at midfielders when we should be looking at RWs and CFs.
Missed you pal. Welcome back.
Welcome back. I just came back from Portugal a few weeks back. But I was in the north (Guimares & Porto), which I recommend highly! Things are cheaper there and the food is better.
Nketiah has a great attitude & did OK but he is not a starting striker for a side hoping to fight for the title – that's the cold hard truth…
Not in squad is to get Tierney onto his agent
I think that we were very very impressive for 80 minutes tbh, and even not too terrible for the rest, although still room to improve there of course.
