Arsenal Women Arsecast 96: Arsenal 5 Brighton 0
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.

58:09|In this episode I'm joined by Kaya Kaynak of Football London to discuss Arsenal's 2-0 win over Man Utd at the Emirates on Wednesday evening. There's a lot of chat about set-pieces after two goals from corners brought us three points, but have the Gunners and Mikel Arteta shifted the perception of scoring in this way? Why has there been such snobbery about set-pieces down the years, especially as the impact they can have is obvious? We also talk about the importance of the win in the context of the title race, an outstanding William Saliba performance, Gabriel Martinelli, Jakub Kiwior and lots more.Get 20% off Arsenal games at Cosm by using the code ARSEBLOG20 - see https://www.cosm.com/ for locations and schedules.Get your Goodly Morning mug here – https://www.redbubble.com/i/mug/Goodly-Morning-Mug-2024-by-arseblog/166259371.W3OIY – and help support Oscar's Kids and Children's Hospices Across London.

01:41:37|In this episode we look back at a remarkable first half of football on Saturday, when Arsenal beat West Ham 5-2 at the London Stadium. We chat about the quality of the Gunners performance and goals to go 4-0 up, before the home side got a couple back and changed the mood a little. We analyse that, with some focus on individuals like Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, set-pieces and our prowess, penalty taking, and what was an impressive away result. Then we answer listener questions about Riccardo Calafiori, Gabriel Martinelli, the search for a new sporting director, taking our time on throw-ins, and loads more – including a mystery wallet sub-plot than runs throughout the episode.Get your Goodly Morning mug here, with every penny of the proceeds going to charity: https://www.redbubble.com/i/mug/Goodly-Morning-Mug-2024-by-arseblog/166259371.9Q0ADGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogEpisode 809 : 1-5
01:04:39|Better a bit late than never, I'm joined by Phil Costa to re-live the 5-1 win over Sporting in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. We reflect on a dominant first half performance, with collective and individual brilliance putting us into a commanding half-time lead thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and Gabriel. The home side got one back, and their fans started whistling for a bit, but Arsenal responded with two more to ensure the win was as emphatic as it deserved to be. We chat about Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber, as well as the strength and impact from the bench, what this win says about the team and how it's perceived in Europe, and loads more.Get your Goodly Morning mug here – https://www.redbubble.com/i/mug/Goodly-Morning-Mug-2024-by-arseblog/166259371.W3OIY – and help support Oscar's Kids and Children's Hospices Across London.

01:01:47|In this episode I'm joined by Miguel Delaney to chat about his new book: 'States of play – How sportwashing took over football'. We discuss what sportswashing actually means, and how in this book we come to understand it's a very broad term to quickly describe how football, money and politics have become inextricably linked. We chat about the impact it has had on competitiveness in the game, why Roman Abramovich's arrival at Chelsea in 2003 opened a Pandora's Box, the Premier League's culpability, how FIFA and UEFA have failed to safeguard the game and instead jumped on the gravy train, and lots more.

We take listener questions from all of social media throughout, discussing Kieran Tierney, Robin van Persie, whether or not Arsenal can expand the capacity of the Emirates, and how many points we'll accrue when the football resumes.

01:11:05|In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast Tim and Jamie gleefully pick over the bones of Arsenal's 3-0 win at Spurs on Saturday and they talk about some of the things interim manager Renee Slegers has tweaked, tactically and in terms of soft factors. There is analysis of the game and some of the key performances. In the second half, Tim and Jamie answer listener questions on whether Slegers should keep the job full-time, how far is the transformation down to tactics and how far is it down to a change in energy and Tim and Jamie think about some of the challenges that might lay ahead. Then there are questions on Frida Maanum's form and which of the current squad has the potential to be the best in the world in their position.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogEpisode 807 - Acceptable in the 80s
