The Arseholics - An Arsenal Podcast

A disappointing draw as we drop points to a Fulham team who finished with 10 men. We try to remain calm but look at what cost us the points on Saturday. Was it the system, the defence, the attack. We talk Havertz, Vieira, Gabriel, Zinchenko and then look forward to what is always a huge game was Manchester United on Sunday.    he Arseholics Podcast on social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/ars...

Did you miss those nerves? They were back in full force as we clung on to a 1-0 win with 10 men against Palace. With two of the Arseholics in attendance at Sellhurst Park, we discuss the red card nonsense, Havertz, Rice, Gabriel and try and make sense of the team selection so far. Plus we chat about what we think will happen on Saturday when we play Fulham at home.  The Arseholics Podcast on socia...

It's good to be back. Despite the ticket issues and the delayed kick off, we made it into the Emirates to watch Arsenal beat Nottingham Forest 2-1 in a not-so-simple win. We talk about the team selection, tactics, Nketiah, Saka's wonder goal, Havertz and much more.   Plus as we record, news of a record bid for Caicedo from Chelsea breaks, so we talk through more Chelsea transfer nonsense in what w...

It's back! No more friendlies or shields, no more transfer talk (at least this week) and no more training camp chat, the real stuff starts on Saturday. We look ahead to the whole season, talking about where we think Arsenal will finish, if we can win the Champions League and then give our predictions on the rest of the league - there are some controversial opinions dropped!    The Arseholics Podca...

We react to the first 'trophy' of the season with a win after penalties vs Monaco to secure yet another Emirates Cup, which was scarred by the news that Gabriel Jesus is out for a few weeks. We discuss what the possible Plan B will be for Man City on Sunday at Wembley and also try and make sense of the surprising news that Arsenal might be in for David Raya.  The Arseholics Podcast on social media...

Pre-season is officially underway with a 1-1 draw with FC Nurnberg after a training camp in Germany. We try and break down any nuggets of intel from the game and look forward to what we will be looking out for in the upcoming games from key players.  Plus discussion on the groundbreaking news that Besiktas have bid a whopping £2.5m for Rob Holding!   The Arseholics Podcast on social media: Twitter...

The plan was to spend 5 mins discussing transfers then move straight on to discussing our entire squad in more depth, but then around 1 hour in to recording, news of a £100m+ bid for Declan Rice broke whilst we were recording! Skip to 1h13m(ish) if you want to hear that news breaking. We break down the entire squad to see who we keep and who we sell ahead of the new season. Nketiah, Balogun, Tiern...

Transfer season has begun, and as always, Arsenal do not disappoint. With news of bids for Declan Rice, interest and then no interest in Caicedo and news of Kai Havertz coming out of nowhere - we try and make sense of the madness and figure out what we expect from Arsenal this summer.    The Arseholics Podcast on social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/arseholics Instagram: https://www.instagra...

A few days after an enjoyable afternoon in the sun watching Granit Xhaka help Arsenal to a 5-0 win against Wolves we discuss the atmosphere at the game, Granit Xhaka's legacy and the season ender as a whole. Plus some random Sead Kolasinac chat. (Apologies for the shorter than usual pod this week, technical and personal issues got the better of us!)    The Arseholics Podcast on social media: Twitt...

With that result, the dream of a first PL title in over 15 years is over. Another defeat for Arsenal which we try and break down. We ask the question 'is it OK to be annoyed with that result?' and try to work out what this team needs to do in the summer to really challenge Man City like we would have loved to do this season.    The Arseholics Podcast on social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/a...

Disappointment and closure. We try to make sense of not just a disappointing result to an excellent Brighton team but make sense of the last month or so and how our title challenge unravelled. We discuss the team selection, substitutions, Arteta, injuries, the fans and much more. Plus Granit Xhaka sounds like he might be off in the summer, a good decision?    The Arseholics Podcast on social media...

Just when you thought you didn't need to pay attention to the title race, the Arsenal go and reel you back in. We discuss a strong, determined 2-0 win at St James Park which saw Arsenal surprise many people. There were some wonderful performances from Jorghino, Xhaka, Jesus and Kiwior - but is this too little too late, or is the dream back on?    The Arseholics Podcast on social media: Twitter: ht...

A bad day at the Etihad Stadium sees us lose 4-1 and with it, the chances of an unlikely title are almost certainly over. We jump on a mic minutes after the game finished to discuss our feelings on the players, Man City, Arteta, the title and where it leaves us now.    The Arseholics Podcast on social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/arseholics Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arseholics Fa...

After another disappointing draw to Southampton, and some breathing space to analyse the draw. We look back on what went wrong against the team at the bottom of the league and try and figure out how we can put it right in what seems like our biggest game in years when we travel away to Manchester City on Wednesday night.  (We also spend a few minutes laughing at Tottenham who lost 6-1 to Newcastle...

Have we learned nothing from Anfield? Another brilliant start, scoring two goals early on, and yet we come away with only a draw. We discuss everything that happened at the London Stadium including the brilliant start, disappointing finish, the subs, Saka, Partey, Holding, Tierney and much more. Join us!  The Arseholics Podcast on social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/arseholics Instagram: ht...

Two points dropped or one point gained? After a sensational game at Anfield, we react to all the madness that took place during a crazy 90 minutes of football. The opening 40 minutes, the Xhaka incident, the penalty, Ramsdale, Salah, Gabriel - we cover it all! We finish it by trying to figure out where this leaves us in the title race and discuss our upcoming game against West Ham.    The Arseholi...

The final stretch has begun! 10 premier league games were standing between Arsenal and glory and now it's down to 9. Arteta's boys win 7 out of 7 in the league now, matching City's 4-1 demolition of Liverpool with a 4-1 demolition of Leeds. We go LIVE to reflect on the win and look forward to next week's trip to Anfield. We also touch on: - Could Arsenal force Man City into becoming more focused o...

Another game, another win. Despite playing 120 minutes midweek, this team showed the Europa league misery is well and truly in the past with a dominant win at home to Crystal Palace.   We are joining by Kish, a Palace fan who was in the away end for the game. We talk about the game, the performances, Patrick Vieira's sacking and even find a bit of time to jointly laugh at Spurs.   The Arseholics P...

Arsenal celebrated The Arseholics’ ONE HUNDRETH EPISODE with total domination at Fulham. In a stark contrast to the Bournemouth win, Arsenal strolled to a surprisingly simple win. Leo Trossard almost unplayable and creating premier league history being the first player to get three assists in the first half of a game. If a 3-0 win wasn’t enough to be happy about, then Gabriel Jesus coming off the...

Arsenal 3 Bournemouth 2 Wow. We react to one of the moments of the season with that last gasp Reiss Nelson winner including he emotion, the brilliance and the pandemonium that erupted in the ground. We discuss how brilliant it was to be in the ground during that moment and also what the win means for us, Reiss Nelson and our title run-in.    Plus we pause on Arsenal to spend a lot of time laughing...

Leicester City 0 Arsenal 1 Another away win! Raj and Arunan discuss the dominant single-goal win at Leicester City. Arteta tried out a different system with Trossard playing up front in a 'false 9' type role - we discuss if it worked, how we feel about Nketiah vs Trossard up front, and what the manager should do in our next two home games coming up against Everton and Bournemouth.   The Arseholics...

Aston Villa 2 - 4 Arsenal What a finish, what a win. What a day of football! We sit down to recap on a crazy 90 minutes of football at Villa Park especially those final few minutes of the game. We talk about Arsenal's new hero Emi Martinez as well as what this means for the team and with Nottingham Forest getting a point at home to Manchester City - we discuss where this leaves us in the title rac...

The Emirates Stadium was rocking once again but it just wasn't enough as City took all 3 points in the battle for top spot. Were Arsenal just outclassed by a better team? Or did we contribute to our own downfall? Is Eddie really the guy who can push us to a potential league title? What’s the outlook for the rest of the season now, and can we start our revival against Villa in a couple of days? Myz...

Reaction to our 1-1 draw with Brentford. With Lee Mason on VAR 'forgetting' to draw some lines on a TV and possibly costing us 2 points in a title race, we chat through all the implications of terrible refs, discuss what else we could have done to get the win and look forward to a huge game vs Man City on Wednesday.    The Arseholics Podcast on social media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/arseholicsI...

A league defeat. Such a bitter tasting unfamiliar feeling sparked reaction all across the Arsenal fanbase ranging from calls for calmness to emotional venting. The new manager bounce did it for Dyche's boys, oh how we wish we could've squeezed this game into final stages of the Lampard era. On this live episode, we reflect on the result and the performance. But on a more positive note, Man City dr...
