Ferguson philosophy setting the foundation for Arsenal's title bid
The London Standard
|October 23, 2025
Gunners spent big on attackers, but Arteta knows it’s defence that wins the league.
DEFENSIVE AXIS Gabriel and William Saliba form an imposing partnership
Sir Alex Ferguson famously said: “Attack wins you games, defence wins you titles.” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has clearly taken that on board in his quest to end the club’s 21-year wait to win the Premier League.
Arteta has built a formidable defence, one that is already breaking records this season. Arsenal have conceded just three goals in their first 12 matches, the fewest at this stage in the club's 138-year history.
Tuesday's clean sheet in the 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid was their ninth of the season, and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland is the only player to score from open play against them.
If Arsenal continue at their current rate, they will break Chelsea's 2004-05 record of 15 goals conceded in a Premier League campaign.

Review: Need a sound night's sleep? These earbuds can even cancel your neighbours
I am incredibly noise-sensitive. I have the disposition of an irritable bat, which is only exacerbated in a sleep setting. And I have neighbours whose noise is constant: coughing, kids screaming, shouting.

Shabana Mahmood faces revolt over her asylum changes
DAILY MAIL “For the millions in this country who want an end to unchecked illegal migration, Shabana Mahmood’s proposals for a Danish-style asylum system are a decent start. There are simple, commonsense tweaks to rules widely regarded as far too generous. A key sticking point will be Mahmood’s struggle to sell the proposals to her own backbenchers.
