It's a special FA Cup final Arsecast Extra, in which James and I chat about how we're feeling ahead of game, whether it's more anxiety or excitement, before we discuss our team selection and how Mikel Arteta might set up his team and approach the game. Then we're joined by the legend that is Ian Wright to talk all about the final, his thoughts on the team, our strengths and how we should play, what it's like to experience the occasion as a player and lots more. And as usual we take listener questions which are, for the most part, centred around tomorrow's big game at Wembley.

Arsenal Women Arsecast 96: Arsenal 5 Brighton 0
01:17:48|In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie dissect the 5-0 win over Brighton at Emirates Stadium on Friday evening. Tim and Jamie consider how far this was a vintage Arsenal performance and a bad Brighton one, whether trademark goals from Mead, Foord, Maanum and Hurtig suggest that Arsenal are back in the swing of things attacking wise and they consider Renee Slegers' willingness to make early substitutions. In the second half, they take listener questions on the new manager search, the decision to switch the Bayern Munich UWCL game away from the Emirates, the future of the midfield and a team featuring players who were largely signed several years ago.

58:28|In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to look back at our 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League. Another loss is frustrating, but were there signs of improvement from the Arsenal attack last night? We analyse that, taking into context the quality of the opposition, while acknowledging things aren't exactly fluent at this moment in time. We wonder how Mikel Arteta might change the dynamic, and chat about some of the key moments in the game, from second half chances to two penalty decisions in the first half that went a long way to deciding the result. There's also discussion of Mikel Merino, Ethan Nwaneri, Raheem Sterling, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogArsenal Women Arsecast 96: Man Utd 1 Arsenal 1
01:15:17|On this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie discuss the frustrating 1-1 draw with Manchester United. Tim and Jamie comb over the performance, the encouraging display of Alessia Russo but the irritation at again seeing Arsenal struggle to convert dominance into goals and ask whether there are any green shoots here. They also discuss Arsenal's lack of aerial prowess in defence and whether it can be fixed by any other means than the transfer market. As ever, in part 2 Tim and Jamie take listener questions on the attacking issues, whether the Russo / Stina split works, the relationship between the attackers, the lack of goal celebrations and the new manager search.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogArsecast Extra Episode 610 - 04.11.2024
01:25:01|In this episode we look back at Saturday's disappointing 1-0 defeat away at Newcastle. We discuss the team selection, the lack of any kind of attacking threat after we went behind, and try to understand why collectively and individually we had such a bad day. Has all the juice been squeezed from the lemon? And where does this leave the team with more difficult away games this week? We also take listener questions about the reported departure of Edu from his role as Sporting Director, whether the team needs more pace, and lots moreGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogEpisode 805 - Martin Keown
50:18|In this episode I talk to Arsenal legend Martin Keown on the publication of his book 'On the edge'. We chat about his Irish background, his strength of character at 19 to stand up to George Graham over a financial issue and to move away from the club he loved, and his time at Aston Villa and Everton. We also discuss the brutal world of professional football back then, his return to Arsenal and his relationship with the famous 'back four', how Arsene Wenger got more out of him than any other manager, and lots more. You can also win one of two signed copies of the book.'On the Edge' is published by Penguin – and is available from your local independent bookstore!Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogEpisode 804 - Up for this cup
54:23|In this episode I'm joined by Harry Symeou from The Chronicles of a Gooner to discuss Arsenal's 3-0 win over Preston in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. We chat about the strength of the team selection, a long overdue goal for Gabriel Jesus, and of course another exciting display from Ethan Nwaneri which he capped with an incredible goal. We touch on reasons why Mikel Arteta might still be cautious about overplaying the 17 year old, as well as the performance of others such as Raheem Sterling and Jakub Kiwior, before we talk about how winning this competition might not be top of anyone's priority list but would still be important and beneficial for the club and the fans.Find The Chronicles of a Gooner on YouTube here - https://www.youtube.com/@arsenalpodcast – or in all the usual podcast places.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogArsecast Extra Episode 609 - 28.10.2024
01:34:26|In this episode we look back at Sunday's 2-2 draw against Liverpool. We chat about the impact on Bukayo Saka on his return to the team, with an outstanding goal, and Arsenal's response to the Liverpool equaliser. Mikel Merino gave us a deserved lead at the break, but in the second half the performance levels dropped a bit so we analyse the reasons for that, key of which was the loss of Gabriel, as well as finishing the game with a very makeshift back-four. We also discuss the second Liverpool goal, some of the officiating decisions, and how to view the result in the context of the season so far. Then there are questions about what kind of team to pick for the Carabao Cup, media narratives, the framing of Mikel Arteta's style as a manager, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogEpisode 803 - A win and some worries
01:02:23|In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to talk about Arsenal's 1-0 win over Shaktar Donetsk in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. We discuss team selection, and a game which probably should have been more emphatic for the Gunners based on first half chances. Then we chat about the second half drop-off, analyse the potential reasons for that, discuss some individuals like Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling, fret about the potential injury to Riccardo Calafiori, wonder why we haven't seen a bit more of Ethan Nwaneri of late and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogArsenal Women Arsecast 95: West Ham 0 Arsenal 2
01:23:45|In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie comb through the 2-0 victory at West Ham. Tim and Jamie look at Arsenal's tactical approach and selection and some of the issues with chance creation rearing their head again, question how much has changed and how much change we could expect from Renee Slegers' interim charge and look at the impact of the quadruple substitution early in the second half. In the second half, Tim and Jamie take your questions on the midfield, whether Kafaji should have an increased role now, Steph Catley at centre-back, the goalkeeper situation, whether Arsenal need a 'clean break' with a new manager ASAP and then Tim and Jamie consider Manu Zinsberger's recent LinkedIn post and consider the lines between criticism and abuse.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogIf you are a regular listener please consider giving the show a review in your favourite podcast app, thanks!
