Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this week's show we hear all about James' enormous balls before going on to discuss the 3-2 win over Swansea, Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil's goals and, of course, Granit Xhaka's red card. We touch on our current form, with 6 wins out of 6 in the league, before we answer listener questions about the Champions League, squad rotation, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's recent comments, Ozil and Alexis contr...

This week's Arsecast is kind of a landmark one. Episode 400 comes almost 10 years to the day since the very first Arsecast, so there's a bit of a look back with some moments from the last 10 years, a bit of reflection on how much has happened since then, and to talk about the football I welcome back to the very first Arsecast guest, Goodplaya, for a bit of a chat about all that. This Arsecast is a...

In this week's Interlull episode James reveals the murky underside to riding camels, Trip Advisor reviews and elaborate scams in the Dromedary world in Morocco.

In this week's episode we join James on his holidays in Morocco to discuss the very late 1-0 win over Burnley yesterday. We discuss the winning goal, the performance, team selection, and the absence of Lucas Perez. Was it injury or was he just not selected? Then we answer listener's questions about Shkodran Mustafi, Alex Iwobi, the rise in form of Theo Walcott, playing against packed defences, and...

In this week's Arsecast I find it difficult not to laugh at Diego Costa, because who doesn't want to laugh at Diego Costa? I'm also joined by Rory Smith to discuss this latest iteration of Theo Walcott and how, perhaps, some clarity as to where he plays is helping him perform. We also discuss the fluid front four, and Arsene Wenger as he comes up on 20 years as manager of Arsenal. We touch on his...

This special episode was recorded live in the Barleycorn bar in New York, thanks to Arsenal NYC. James and I relive some fun times in the big city, enjoy the 3-0 win over Chelsea, laugh at Diego Costa, and then answer lots of questions from the audience while people feed us shots of whiskey. Good times. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Time now for this week's Arsecast and I'm joined by Amy Lawrence and Stuart MacFarlane to talk about their brand new book 'The Wenger revolution: Twenty Years of Arsenal which chronicles the 20 years of Arsene Wenger's reign through amazing pictures from Stuart, words from Amy, and Wenger himself who chats about the various photos.

On this week's Interlull show we look back on the final days of the transfer window and discuss the departures of Serge Gnabry and Jack Wilshere.

We also discuss players who stayed, like Mathieu Debuchy and Chuba Akpom, as well as answering listener questions about Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain,...

On this week's show I'm joined by James from We are the Northbank to discuss Jack Wilshere's move to Bournemouth. Is it the beginning of the end of his Arsenal career, or a real chance to prove his worth to the club?

We then answer listener questions about Joel Campbell's loan departure to Sporti...

This week's Arsecast required beer after the Liverpool defeat and another exciting week of nothing much. I'm joined by Andrew Allen and Tayo Popoola to try and make sense of it all, or at least to just laugh sadly at it all. We end up somewhere in the middle as we discuss the opening day, our transfer inactivity, the familiarity of the way we got beaten and all the rest. There's one day Fantasy Fo...

On this week's show we discuss disastrous opening day defeat to Liverpool, the lack of preparation that played a part in the loss, the defending, lack of transfer market activity and what Arsene Wenger has done - or hasn't done - to get his team ready for the start of a new season. We then answer listener's questions which ask WHHHHYYYYYYYYYY?, about what we do now, whether new is new or old is ol...

On the first Arsecast of the new season I'm joined by Ken Early from Second Captains to preview the Premier League, not just from an Arsenal point of view, but looking at all the managerial arrivals, what it might mean, how it'll all go down and lots more.
