Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

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

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

In this episode I'm joined by Ryan Hunn of the Stadio podcast to chat in broad strokes about Arsenal's 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest on Wednesday evening. We discuss it in the context of where our season is and what we have available to us, as well as analysing the performance from back to front – where the key issue lies. We talk about Riccardo Calafiori and how his yellow card enforced substitution had an impact, the role of Mikel Merino up front, Ethan Nwaneri's physical worries after Mikel Arteta's comments, how the manager can find any kind of solution to goalscoring ahead of PSV on Tuesday, and lots more.Visit Indie Rabble Brewery - https://www.indierabble.co.uk/ – and you can use the code 'arseblog20' at checkout for 20% off any order from their website (with 10% going to the Arsenal Foundation).Follow Ryan on BlueSky - https://bsky.app/profile/ryanhunn.bsky.socialGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog

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

In this episode we look back at the 2-0 win over Leicester on Saturday afternoon, arriving late as it did with two goals from substitute Mikel Merino. We chat about the performance, the fine margins, James has a hot-take on Myles Lewis Skelly's defending, before we discuss the influence of Ethan Nwaneri who provided the assist for the opener and excited throughout the 90 minutes with the quality of his play, and the importance of this win after a difficult week off the pitch. We also have questions about Raheem Sterling and how he can be used going forward, what the future holds for Nwaneri in this team, the team's 15 game unbeaten run in the Premier League, Liverpool's upcoming fixtures in the context of the title race, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog
