Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

On this week's show we look at the 2-0 win over Everton, impressive goals from Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi, and the impact of the latter and the trust shown in him by the manager. There's defensive and midfield improvement to talk about, and we do a Predictatron from the remaining fixtures to see where the title is going to end up (hat-tip @Arse2Mouse podcast). After that we answer listeners ques...

On the show this week I look back at the midweek trip to Barcelona, with some location recordings, vox-pops and more from the European trip I got back from last night at 1am. Please excuse my voice, or lack of it, it's been a long couple of days, and a man coughed on me and gave me the plague. I'm also joined by Roger Bennett, one half of the excellent Men in Blazers to chat about that and, as he'...

This week's episode was recorded the evening of the 2-1 defeat to Watford in the FA Cup. London had cider, Dublin had wine, and we tried to make some sense of the performance, the result and what it means for the season in general. We discuss the manager, his performance and his position, and basically become ever more exasperated and disheartened at what's gone on and how likely, or unlikely, thi...

On the show this week I look at how Arsenal fans online behave in the face of intense provocation, before I chat with Ben from REDaction about the ticket opt-out/boycott they were part of ahead of Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final against Watford. Then, there's some football chat with Julian H from Gingers4Limpar, a chance to win a t-shirt and a print from Art of Football, and all the usual waffle. Ho...

In this week's show we look back at the 2-2 draw with Sp*rs in the North London derby. We discuss Francis Coquelin's red card, the selection of Mohamed Elneny in midfield, Danny Welbeck up front, and whether this was a result that we can be pleased with under the circumstances. After that we take listener's questions about the role of supporters, Alexis' body language at the end of the game, team...

After a week of anger, frustration and dismay, we try and cut through that to make some sense of it all. I'm joined by Tayo Popoola and Tim Stillman to talk about the Swansea game, the performance, and why we couldn't raise ourselves properly after the United loss. We analyse the way we play, discuss Alexis Sanchez's comments and form, Joel Campbell, empty seats and, of course, Arsene Wenger. Ther...

In this week's rather grim show, we look back at the defeat at Old Trafford yesterday and talk about what it means for our title challenge, for the players, the manager and the club. What should happen if Arsenal don't win the league this season? More important, what will happen, bearing in mind the board and the owner that make those decisions. We chat about Theo Walcott, possible permutations fo...

On this week's show I'm joined by Iain Macintosh to briefly discuss the midweek game against Barcelona. Moving on swiftly we chat about gamesmanship, Danny Welbeck, the upcoming game against Man Utd on Sunday, FA Cup replays and more. There's also a tribute to Robert Pires, who retired yesterday, some finance, vintage news, and all the usual waffle. Today's show is sponsored by cornerstone.co.uk/a...

In this week's episode we begin with some chicken related lunacy, followed by a look back at the 0-0 draw with Hull in the FA Cup. The second half of the show is more or less dominated by tomorrow night's Champions League clash with Barcelona, discussing team selection, tactics, the scary trio they have up front, before we head down to the Hammock District to close out the show. Hosted on Acast. S...

On this week's Arsecast we look back a bit on that Danny Welbeck goal with commentary from all over the world, before I'm joined by Jeremy Wilson to discuss the significance of the Arsenal win and what it means in the title race. We chat about the top four, Mesut Ozil's contract and the upcoming game against Barcelona. We hear from the Angriest Man on Twitter, there's a look ahead to the FA Cup ga...

On this week's late-goal powered podcast, we look back at the 2-1 win over Leicester yesterday. Danny Welbeck's glorious return; Theo Walcott with a goal; big saves from Petr Cech; terrible refereeing; blatant cheating from Leicester sparks ire; and we discuss the significance of the win and how it all felt. We then answer listener questions about Alexis Sanchez; RamCoq in midfield; Barcelona maki...

To look ahead to this weekend's clash with Leicester City I'm joined by former Gunner Adrian Clarke. I ask him how these Leicester players will be feeling, sitting top of the table; what Arsene Wenger's approach to the game will be to try and win but not fall into their counter-attacking trap; as well as what the manager will do in midfield and centre-half where he has selection decisions to make....

We recorded this week's show immediately after the 2-0 win over Bournemouth, so we discuss that, the goals from Ozil and Oxlade-Chamberlain, Flamini's ridiculous challenge, and the ticket price stories at Arsenal and Liverpool this week. Then we answer listener questions about Gabriel and Per Mertesacker, Petr Cech's continuing influence, which players would be best with their wrong foot, and we g...

On this week's show I'm joined by Tim Stillman to talk about the 0-0 with Southampton, and the faltering title challenge.

We also discuss Alex Iwobi's shins, our favourite John Terry moments, transfer deadline day and what might happen, and there are some spoilers for Oscar nominated movie The Revenant – bringi...

Time now for this week's Arsecast and today's show is a round table discussion with Goonerholic, The Man from East Lower, and Andrew Allen, taking stock of where we are right now and what lies ahead for the rest of the season. We discuss the last few games of January, Aaron Ramsey, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, new boy Mohamed Elneny, the players returning from injury, the threat of Leicester and the o...

On this week's show we discuss the disappointing, frustrating 1-0 defeat to Chelsea. On the agenda, the red card issued to Per Mertesacker; could we have done more to prevent that situation developing; the decision to take off Olivier Giroud; and what it all means for our title hopes. As well as that we answer listener questions about Theo Walcott and the Captain's Armband (probably the title of h...

On this week's Arsecast I'm joined by Rory Smith from The Times to discuss the consistency and reliability of Nacho Monreal, and what his new contract might mean for Kieran Gibbs. We also discuss Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 10 years of Theo Walcott, and we look ahead to Sunday's Premier League clash with Chelsea. There's some TV fixture scheduling stuff, pants based trauma and all the usual waffle. H...

On this week's show we look back on the 0-0 draw with Stoke, the performances, and the display of Petr Cech who helped secure a point. There's the Aaron Ramsey chanting, Mesut Ozil's absence, and more on our midfield, before we answer listener's questions about taking quick free kicks, the baldness of referees, which players might be the best arm-wrestlers, as well as a seriously intense sauce bas...

This week's show starts on a sad note as we touch on the passing of the legendary David Bowie, before we move onto discussion of the 3-1 win over Sunderland in the FA Cup. We touch on Alex Iwobi, Joel Campbell, Olivier Giroud, Aaron Ramsey and others, before we take listener questions in the second half of the show about Benik Afobe, Arsene Wenger and Manuel Pellegrini, David Ospina's future, robo...

On today's show, following up on the opening show of the season, I'm joined again by Ken Early from Second Captains. Ken popped into the studio this week to look at the season so far, what's happened since we last talked, the various managerial goings-on, the title race, and how it's gone for Arsenal up until now. I also reveal my two New Year resolutions and there's some of the usual waffle in th...

On this week's show we look back the 1-0 win over Newcastle and discuss the performance, the three points when playing badly, Laurent Koscielny's goal, as well as the return of Serge Gnabry from his West Brom loan, perhaps to make room for Mathieu Debuchy's departure. We then answer listener questions about the transfer window, Arsene Wenger's sartorial choice, Aaron Ramsey's late miss against New...

On this week's show we look back at the last two games: the 4-0 defeat to Southampton and the 2-0 win over Bournemouth. We discuss the good, the bad and the different class that is Mesut Ozil, Calum Chambers midfield outing and the potential signing of Mohamed Elneny.
