Edu, Mikel Arteta and Steve Round deep in conversation at Goodison Park

Daniel Cutts, sports news editor at The S*N, tweeted to say:

#Arsenal have called a press conference at 2.30pm this afternoon with Arteta, which is unusual… Don't often get a Wednesday presser for the Premier League. #AFC

A Wednesday press conference is indeed unusual and it was not at all clear what it could be about.

Until Charlie Watts cleared it up:

Don't know why people are getting excited by today's press conference. It's just Arteta's usual presser, it's been scheduled since the start of the week as normal. Only difference is it's immediately followed by one with Joe Montemurro ahead of Arsenal women's game with Chelsea.

Guess somebody just forgot to tell The S*n.

Shame, that…
