Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode we look back on the 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday. We discuss the Villa goal, the chances that Arsenal failed to take on the evening that should have been enough to get at least a point from the game, and whether or not we did enough to break their offside trap. We also chat about substitutions and whether there's something missing from the bench when it comes to our attacking options. Then we do listener questions about Kai Havertz, Arsenal Women's big win over Chelsea, officiating again after more contentions decisions in this game and whether there's anything Mikel Arteta can do about it, our results in big away games this season, 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 on the dramatic 4-3 win over Luton at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday evening. There is focus on the late, great winner from Declan Rice, but also discussion of how we found ourselves needing to find that goal in the first place. David Raya is in the spotlight again after he was found wanting for two goals and we chat about this team's ability to keep going right until the death to find a way to salvage points that looked like they might be lost. And how does this reflect on Arsenal's title aspirations?! There are inevitable questions about the keepers, but is there a bigger one to be asked? Plus questions about injuries at the back and squad depth there, the need for that 25 goal a season striker, the captaincy, Arteta's use of subs in this game, 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 on the 2-1 win over Wolves, a scoreline that doesn't really reflect the way the game went, but one which we sort of inflicted upon ourselves. We chat about the bright start, goals from Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard setting us on our way, but how we didn't have quite the same attacking efficiency as the midweek game against Lens. There's discussion of the yin and yang of Oleksandr Zinchenko, opportunities to score more goals, plus questions about a return to form for the captain and his influence on our attack, how this season is different by design, Arsenal picking up fewer yellow cards, a left-field (8) question about Gabriel Jesus 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 I'm joined by Phil Costa to recap Arsenal's 6-0 win over Lens in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. We discuss a blistering first half, beginning with Kai Havertz opening the scoring and ending with Martin Odegaard's brilliant fifth. There's chat about the goals inbetween, the brilliance of Bukayo Saka, Takehiro Tomiyasu's contribution, and lots more – plus the substitutions Mikel Arteta made, and why he chose the ones he did. We also reflect on the group stage securing top spot, our Champions League ambitions, as well as having a bit of a laugh at a couple of the other English clubs. Follow Phil @_philcostaGet 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 on the 1-0 win over Brentford on Saturday. We discuss Arsenal's control versus cutting edge, the perception of our attack this season, the team selection and Brentford's approach, Aaron Ramsdale's horror moment and Declan Rice's incredible recovery. We obviously chat about the late winner scored by Kai Havertz, what it means for him (at last), and what it meant to take three points and go top of the table. We then have listener questions about the way Mikel Arteta deal with post-game questions about Ramsdale, Leandro Trossard in the left 8 position, reporters trying (badly) to get Thomas Frank to criticise Arsenal's celebrations, the offside rule, 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 I'm joined first by Philippe Auclair to discuss the Premier League clubs voting against a motion to ban loans between associated clubs. We chat about those who voted against, their motivations, what it might mean going forward, plus the wider implications of the multi-club model and how it can be used and exploited for good and bad.Then I chat with Tim Stillman about a piece he wrote for Arseblog News, examining the reasons behind the lack of diversity within the Arsenal Women squad, as well as some Gabriel Jesus after his 90 minutes for Brazil during the week.Read Philippe's piece here: https://www.eurosport.fr/football/premier-league/2023-2024/multi-propriete-des-clubs-la-premier-league-se-vote-un-permis-de-tricher_sto9892063/story.shtmlRead Tim's piece here: https://arseblog.news/2023/11/an-in-depth-look-at-arsenal-womens-lack-of-ethnic-diversity-why-it-matters-how-it-happened-and-how-it-is-being-tackled/Follow Philippe @philippeauclair :: Follow Tim @stillmanatorGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog
