Eddie Nketiah has penned an open letter to Arsenal after completing his move to Crystal Palace.

The striker has been in the spotlight all summer as various clubs attempted to sign him from Arsenal before he ultimately moved to Palace.

Nketiah struggled for playing time at the Emirates, falling behind Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz in the pecking order.

Mikel Arteta was willing to let him leave the club, even though Arsenal did not sign a replacement, and Nketiah has now sent a message to his former team.

Having been developed at the club’s Hale End Academy, Nketiah boasts one of the best goalscoring records among England’s youth team players.

On September 10, Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump will debate each other for the first time. Amid weeks of contention over the debate’s rules, it has been reported that ABC News, the host network, informed both candidates’ camps that their microphones will be muted when the other is speaking. While Trump’s campaign has agreed to the terms, Harris’ camp reportedly has not.

Both Harris and Trump (though not his team, as my colleague Julianne McShane has written) want to have unmuted mics. But ABC’s rules are not unprecedented—Trump and President Biden’s debate this summer also featured muted mics.

Harris and her team’s argument for unmuted mics seems to rely on letting Trump embarrass himself: Speaking over a debate opponent when it is the other person’s turn to talk does not exactly look professional. But there is a more serious reason for Harris to reconsider her stance: ensuring that one person talks at a time will make the event more accessible to some disabled viewers.

For people who need live captioning during the debate, constant changes in speakers are challenging to follow. In the UK, the BBC uses different colors to indicate different speakers when multiple people are talking—but US news networks have yet to catch up. It is also considered best practice for American Sign Language interpretation to only let one person speak at a time, which makes interpreters’ jobs more practical.

Reiss Nelson made a late move to Fulham on loan from Arsenal, which paved the way for the Gunners to pursue Raheem Sterling.

Nelson has struggled for game time at the Emirates and was one of the players Arsenal was willing to sell during the transfer window.

However, he found it difficult to secure a permanent transfer, forcing Arsenal to abandon their efforts to offload him.

When Sterling became available for transfer in the final hours of deadline day, Arsenal sought to sign him and began exploring options for Nelson.

A potential move to Ipswich Town fell through, but Fulham quickly added him to their squad.

Mikel Arteta is unhappy with the lack of consistency in decision-making in the Premier League after more drama cost Arsenal two points against Brighton this afternoon.

The Gunners were leading the game 1-0 before Declan Rice was sent off for a second bookable offence when the referee deemed him to have delayed the restart of play.

It was the softest of yellow cards, and the sending-off hurt Arsenal, who eventually conceded an equalising goal.

Earlier in the game, a Brighton player kicked the ball out of play after the referee’s whistle had blown, but they were not cautioned, even though they should have been.

The decision to send Rice off has been met with widespread criticism, and Mikel Arteta admits it is frustrating when decisions are not consistent.

Bukayo Saka has reacted to Arsenal’s draw against Brighton this afternoon, admitting that the game could have gone either way.

It was a tough match for the Gunners, who had won their previous games of the season, including a challenging encounter at Villa Park.

Brighton came to London with the mission of halting Arsenal’s winning run, and the Seagulls succeeded as Mikel Arteta’s men struggled after the sending-off of Declan Rice.

Most Arsenal fans viewed the dismissal as unfair, and it certainly changed the complexion of the game.

However, even without Rice, Arsenal still had chances to win, with Saka missing a golden opportunity to give them the lead.

Former Rangers idol Ally McCoist believes Arsenal will eventually view their draw against Brighton as a point gained.

The Gunners dropped two points and lost their 100 percent record against a very stubborn Brighton side.

The Seagulls had also won both their matches before this fixture, and they were expected to put up a good fight at the Emirates.

They did just that, frustrating Arsenal and earning a point on their travels to a tough ground.

Mikel Arteta’s side may feel they could have taken more than a point, and their fans are unhappy with the inconsistent decisions during the game.

Arsenal drew their Premier League game against Brighton today, 1-1, at the Emirates, and the Gooners are unhappy with the performance of referee Chris Kavanagh.

The Gunners started the season with two wins from two, defeating Aston Villa away before hosting the similarly in-form Brighton at the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta’s side was eager to win and maintain their winning run, but Brighton is a tough team.

Arsenal has always struggled to beat the Seagulls, and they knew it would be a very difficult game.

Arteta’s side did everything they could to overpower the Seagulls, but Brighton remained competitive, and the game ended 1-1.

Thomas Partey’s tenure at the Emirates Stadium is coming to an end. The Arsenal midfielder is in his contract’s final year. Arsenal’s decision to allow him to be in such a situation clearly indicated that they were unsure about keeping him long-term.

The idea was that if Partey could stay fit, he’d have a chance to land a new contract. Many believe Arsenal is hesitant to offer him a new contract due to fitness concerns.

Interestingly, the former Atletico Madrid player has tried to maintain his condition in recent months. Partey has remained fit after playing the last five Arsenal league games of last season, two World Cup qualifiers for Ghana, and a full pre-season. Staying fit has also allowed him to start all of Arsenal’s games this season.

Partey fans may have been confident that he would eventually earn a new contract at Emirates Stadium if he remained fit. Unfortunately, that may not be the case. Following Mikel Merino’s signing, Football Transfers claims Arsenal has already decided upon Partey’s future.

The club appears to be so determined to part ways with him that for £15 million they may even do so during the winter transfer window. If these claims are accurate, Gunners should savour every time they watch Partey, who is on his last dance at Arsenal.

We had yet another must win game at home to unbeaten Brighton, and the only change from Villa was Trossard starting against his old side.

Arsenal started purposefully and went straight in the attack, but with a few stray passes which dampened our pressure, but Raya didnt have much to for the first 15 minutes except for a couple of weak efforts from the Seagulls.

The 17th minute saw out captain Martin Odegaard given a gilt edged chance just a few yards out but didnt catch it right and the keeper easily saved it.

The next 20 mins saw 80% possession for the Gunners before Brighton had a small flurry of action in our half. A few minutes later and there was panic in the Arsenal box as a headed clearance mistake from Havertz saw the ball land at Mitoma’s left foot, but luckily he scuffed his shot.

It was not long after that a a bit of brilliant skill from Saka saw him send the ball over the defence to a running Havertz, who calmly lobbed the ball over the keeper to give us a well deserved lead.

Earlier this year, the e-commerce corporation Amazon secured approval to open two new data centers in Santiago, Chile. The $400 million venture is the company’s first foray into locating its data facilities, which guzzle massive amounts of electricity and water in order to power cloud computing services and online programs, in Latin America—and in one of the most water-stressed countries in the world, where residents have protested against the industry’s expansion.

This week, the tech giant made a separate but related announcement. It plans to invest in water conservation along the Maipo River, which is the primary source of water for the Santiago region. Amazon will partner with a water technology startup to help farmers along the river install drip irrigation systems on 165 acres of farmland. The plan is poised to conserve enough water to supply around 300 homes per year, and it’s part of Amazon’s campaign to make its cloud computing operations “water positive” by 2030, meaning the company’s web services division will conserve or replenish more water than it uses up.

The reasoning behind this water initiative is clear: Data centers require large amounts of water to cool their servers, and Amazon plans to spend $100 billion to build more of them over the next decade as part of a big bet on its Amazon Web Services cloud-computing platform. Other tech companies such as Microsoft and Meta, which are also investing in data centers to sustain the artificial-intelligence boom, have made similar water pledges amid a growing controversy about the sector’s thirst for water and power.
