The original Arsenal podcast - coming to you twice a week (usually Mondays and Fridays) with news, interviews, analysis, special guests, jokes and occasionally ...
In this episode we look back at the superb 7-1 win over PSV in Eindhoven last night. We chat about pre-game worries about goalscoring, only to see the Gunners run riot in front of goal. We chat about all the strikes, from Jurrien Timber's opener to Riccardo Calafiori's closer, Ethan Nwaneri's incredible finish, a confidence boosting night for senior players – Martin Odegaard in particular – and some moments which may have changed the complexion of the tie. We discuss Myles Lewis-Skelly's good fortune in not picking up a second yellow card, and whether this is something that needs careful management from Mikel Arteta. Then there are listener questions about which flavour of Madrid we'd like to play if we navigate the second leg without incident, Nwaneri and MLS possibly being called up by England, Nathan Butler-Oyedeji in the second leg, Ben White's return, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Arsenal Women Arsecast 113: Gunners pull it out of the fire against the Irons
In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie dissect Arsenal’s topsy turvy 4-3 win over West Ham on Sunday, they talk about the slow start and West Ham springing a tactical surprise and Arsenal feeling the effects of the international break. Then they talk about the impact of the second half substitutes, Chloe Kelly’s full debut, how Arsenal became more direct on a tough pitch in the second half and Beth Mead’s goal line heroics in the final seconds. In the second half there are questions about the WSL vote on halting relegation, the Arsenal midfield, the defence and whether the squad lacks power and speed.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Arsecast Extra Episode 627 - 24.02.2025
In this episode we look back at the 1-0 defeat to West Ham on Saturday, a defeat which has more or less ended any already slim chance we had of the Premier League title. We chat about how the team struggled to make chances, as well as the goal we conceded – one which really angered Mikel Arteta – before we analyse his odd substitutions, in particular the very early withdrawal of Declan Rice for Oleksandr Zinchenko. Then we discuss the red card for Myles Lewis-Skelly, the absence of Jorginho for any period of the game, before answering questions about how the manager gets his players motivated again, whether top four is at risk, Martin Odegaard and his current form, the continued search for a sporting director, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
