In this episode we're in pre-holiday mood, discussing solitary confinement before moving onto the Martin Zubimendi Real Madrid rumours. Is that something to worry about? After that we discuss the deal to bring in Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea to deputise for David Raya and maybe bring an end to goalkeeping drama every summer, Gabriel's new contract and what that says, and Andrea Berta's Italian style. Then we have listener questions about 3 forward signings and what that might mean for Martinelli, Mikel Arteta's tactical position in this era of coaching, the player ratings game, and lots more. This is the last podcast until next week as we're both going on holidays. We love you, but a week off isn't too much to ask! Talk to you when we get back. ❤️ 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 95: West Ham 0 Arsenal 2 | 21 Oct 2024 | 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.

On this week's show, after we deal with lawnmower problems, we discuss the 2-0 win over Brighton, goals for Nacho Monreal and Alex Iwobi, a sizzling assist from Alexis, another clean sheet, and a team which, while not currently scintillating, is heading in the right direction – up the table. We then answer listener questions about the style of football we're playing this season, Alexandre Lacazette being substituted, how the manager might deal with Mesut Ozil this season, whether taking a selfie inside a football ground is the crime against humanity so many seem to think it is, there's an interruption from a very loud dog and lots more.

| Episode 443 - Borisov, Borison | 29 Sep 2017 | 00:50:59 | |
On this week's show we look back at the 4-2 win over BATE Borisov in the Europa League. Two goals for Theo Walcott, a first goal for Rob Holding, and Olivier Giroud becomes a centurion with his 100th Arsenal strike. There were some promising youngsters in the team, we look at their performances, and what was a fun night as we continue our new European adventures. I'm joined by The Man from East Lower to discuss all that, as well as the prospect of Christmas Eve football, before taking a look at Sunday's Premier League clash against Brighton with Steve Bailey, chief football writer for Sussex Newspapers who gives us all the low-down on the Seagulls and what we can expect from them.

On this week's show we look back at the 2-0 win over West Brom, and how Shkodran Mustafi's sliding made Tony Pulis so very, very angry. We discuss the two goals for Alexandre Lacazette, Ramsey in a more advanced role, another clean sheet, and the fact that Tony Pulis was so very, very angry. Then we answer listener questions about Alexis Sanchez's attitude, Mohamed Elneny's performance, the need for quicker thinking, empty seats, lessons being learned, and how eating chicken Kiev every day for a year somehow taints your view of chicken Kiev.

| Episode 442 - The broken men | 22 Sep 2017 | 00:50:12 | |
In this week's show I do my best to keep discussion of Doncaster and West Brom to an absolute minimum, so instead I talk to Rory Smith of the New York Times about a very interesting piece he wrote about Manchester City's Ilkay Gundogan, and his recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury. As Arsenal fans we have plenty of experience of injuries, and we expand the conversation to talk about players who are injured, either long-term or with frequency, and what they have to go through during their rehabilitation. Loneliness, self-doubt, pain, discomfort, and the range of opinion when it comes to how they're viewed by fans. We chat about the club's role in their recovery, the mental and physical impacts of injury and lots more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

The 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge was a big improvement on the last away day at Anfield, but is it something to get excited about or more a case of lowered expectations? We discuss that, the team selection, the performance, the chances we had to win the game, and the things that pleased us most about the Arsenal display on Sunday. We then answer listener questions about the absence of Mesut Ozil, Shkodran Mustafi's role in the back three, a positive display for Alex Iwobi, some crisp related madness and lots more.

Who will be the winners and losers of the formation change, and how can Arsene Wenger fix that midfield issue. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

With me to discuss what has been a very interesting summer for Arsenal is the BBC's David Ornstein. No doubt many of you saw his summary of our off-season, so I chat to him about the deals that happened and how they happened; the deals that didn't go down; why Arsenal seem to make such hard work of transfer business; the deadline day flip-flop on Alexis, the sale of the Ox, Lucas Perez's anger, Arsene Wenger, Ivan Gazidis, Stan Kroenke, and lots lots lots more.

There's chat about that decision and how Mikel Arteta reacted and reshaped his team, Gabriel Martinelli's miss, the goals we conceded, the delay in making a change when we went 1-0 down, and Ethan Nwaneri's cameo. Then there are listener questions about officiating/PGMOL, how we set up against Liverpool next weekend without Saliba, how heightened expectations impact how we feel about losing games, and lots more.

| Episode 437 - Deadline day | 01 Sep 2017 | 01:22:39 | |
The transfer window is now closed, what we have we hold, and what we did on deadline day wasn't that inspiring. In fact, it's a summer in which it feels we've failed to really invest properly in the squad. As a club we've ended up £30m in profit during the window, and as they say £30m in the bank is not going to score you many goals during the season. With me to discuss the transfer deadline day action, the summer in general, our state of affairs, and where we go from here are Andrew Allen, The Man from East Lower, Tayo Popoola, and Elliot Smith. This was recorded immediately after the window closing last night, so we look at the squad, Oxlade-Chamberlain leaving, Alexis staying, investment or lack of, issues of balance, the manager, the board, and and lots more.

In this episode I chat to James Montague, author of a new book entitled: The Billionaires Club – The Unstoppable Rise of Football's Super-rich Owners. James writes about the increasing influence of extremely wealthy owners of football clubs, primarily in the Premier League, but across football in general too. What effect is it having on the game? What might it mean for football in the future? And with most of Arsenal's shares owned by Stan Kroenke and Alisher Usmanov, there's a real Arsenal perspective in this too. Hosted on Acast.

On this week's show we look back at disastrous 4-0 hammering at Anfield on Sunday, the team selection, the lack of effort, the insipid performance, and why just three games into the season we're already in a horrendous situation. We chat about the manager's role, why there should be more focus on Stan Kroenke, a spineless board, potential transfers and lots more. There are questions about where we go from here, and how we get there, defending, mysterious behind the scenes influences and mots more. Hosted on Acast.

In this week's show we get a Mugsmasher perspective on their summer, their transfer business, what needs to be done with their squad, their hopes for the season and more as I'm joined by Neil Atkinson from The Anfield Wrap.

We then answer listener questions about putting the ball out of play, dropping Rob Holding, how much money we've spent so far this summer and whether it's enough to make this team challengers, the nature of time and existence itself, and lots more.

| Episode 434 - Barcelona and then Arsenal | 18 Aug 2017 | 00:53:53 | |
This podcast was recorded yesterday evening, as news of the horrible attack in Barcelona came through, and given my connection with the place it was very much on my mind, so the first 10 minutes of this show are a bit introspective. If you don't want to hear that this morning, and I can understand why many wouldn't, just skip forward to 9'55 where the rest of the show features a long chat with Philippe Auclair.We chat about Olivier Giroud and his decision to stay, as well as new boy Alexandre Lacazette. We ask if the back three is actually making us defensively more secure, before moving onto the situations of Alexis, Ozil and Oxlade-Chamberlain, before discussing the transfer market, our need for a certain player and to move some others on.

| Episode 430 - Is it bonkers? | 19 May 2017 | 01:00:01 | |
With me on this week's Arsecast, to discuss the season as a whole, is Amy Lawrence. We chat about the managerial situation, boardroom stasis, whether the off the pitch stuff has affected things on it, what we might do with players like Sanchez, Ozil and Wojciech Szczesny, and we try and make some sense of what has been a generally underwhelming Premier League campaign. There's a chance to win a *boilk* mug, a quick look ahead to the weekend, and a dose of the usual waffle. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

| Episode 428 - New impressions | 05 May 2017 | 01:02:06 | |
On this week's show I'm joined by the Man from East Lower to discuss all the latest exciting, exhilarating goings-on at the Arsenal, including this weekend's game with Manchester United. After that I chat with United fan Musa Okwonga about that match, but also some of the other less pleasant things that have been going on in football this week - racist incidents, and the issue of mental health among footballers. There's the winner of the Mesut Ozil book competition, a chance to win a *boilk* mug and all the usual waffle. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Arsecast Extra Episode 172 - 01.05.2017 | 01 May 2017 | 01:27:14 | |
On this week's show we discuss the 2-0 defeat to Sp*rs, the team selection, the performance (or lack of it), and try and make some sense of what's going on. We'll be up front with you, we don't come to any kind of EUREKA moment conclusion, but there's a lot going on with manager, players and board. Then we answer questions about Olivier Giroud, other managers, transfer activity, scouting, Arsenal origins and more. It's not the cheeriest episode of all time, but we can only work with what we're given, and what we were given was a bit rubbish. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Arsenal Women Arsecast 93: Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea | 14 Oct 2024 | 01:29:03 | |
In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast Tim and Jamie pore over the 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday and try to dissect how to separate this result and performance from the wider funk that Arsenal seem to be in. Did Arsenal just 'get varianced'? And is it possible to separate that from the wider malaise? Tim and Jamie talk about the defending on the goals conceded and whether a lack of confidence in attack had an impact on the result with more than one proven player low on confidence. In the second half, Tim and Jamie deal with listener questions on Rosa Kafaji and the lack of integration for young players, on Clare Wheatley's role and whether more communication from 'upstairs' is needed at the club and on the delicate balance between rotation and trying and failing to find partnerships that work.
