Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

This week's show was recorded in Dublin with James and an extra Extra guest, Andrew Allen. We look back on the weekend's game against Man United, the performance, the defensive errors, Arsenal's response, another defensive error, and ask whether there can be any positives taken from the game. We then answer questions about Alexandre Lacazette, Alexis Sanchez's wastefulness, Aaron Ramsey's future, the January transfer window, goalkeepers having blinders and lots more. Hosted on Acast.

On this week's show I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to discuss the 5-0 win over Huddersfield, the beauty of Arsenal's goals, and Mesut Ozil's contribution, before we move on to the recent appointments of Raul Sanllehi as 'Head of Football Relations' and Sven Mislintat as 'Head of Recruitment'. What does it mean for the future, and what does it mean for the present and how will they work with Arsene Wenger in the short-term?Then, to help preview the weekend's game against Man United, I chat with Musa Okwonga about their season, the season in general, and what we can expect from what's going to be a tough game this weekend. There's a smidgen of the usual waffle in there too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we discuss yet another injury time win over Burnley, what a lovely man Lee Mason is, and how the outrage of the opposition fans was like sweet, sweet music to our ears. It pushes Arsenal into the top four, and we discuss the result, performance and what it means for our season. We then answer listener's questions about how we'll approach the midweek game with Huddersfield and if Jack Wilshere should start, whether or not we enjoy wins as much as we should, possible media bias against the club, and lots more.

Listeners will be glad to hear that there's some, but relatively little, discussion of last night's 1-0 defeat to Cologne in the Europa League. There's only so much of that game one can relive, but I chat about it with Archie Rhind-Tutt. Then I'm joined by Daniel Storey from Football 365 to chat about teacup GIF-gate, the changing face of modern media and fandom, journalism and journalists, and lots more. I also give you the winners of last week's competition to win Jens Lehmann's book, there's some Amaury Bischoff PI and a chunk of the usual waffle. Hosted on Acast.

In today's episode we steady ourselves after that incredible power shift that ... oh, wait, that didn't happen. We discuss the very enjoyable 2-0 win over Sp*rs on Saturday, what the team can gain from the win and the performance, the outstanding back three providing the platform for victory, and the need to replicate this kind of display – all the while remembering to enjoy it. We then answer questions about cups of tea, the whole Tea-gate incident and the media reaction to it, the upcoming appointment of a new head of scouting, the reaction to the Francis Coquelin substitution and lots more besides.

On this week's show I'm joined by the one and only Ian Wright to discuss the upcoming North London derby against the old enemy. Ian chats about his feelings ahead of the game, the need for the players to make sure the unthinkable doesn't happen, Alexandre Lacazette, Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez, and more. Then I chat about the game some more with Clive Palmer, what will the manager's approach be, and what kind of team is he going to pick?There's also a chance to win one of five copies of Jens Lehmann's new book 'The madness is on the pitch', some exclusive extracts from it, and lots of the usual waffle.

Today's episode is the 200th Arsecast Extra, and thankfully for us it's come at a time when there's so much to discuss from an Arsenal point of view and not slap bang in the middle of the lulliest Interlull of all time. Still, we manage to chat about all the exciting international football that's been going on, which players from the 89 title winning side we'd have in today's Arsenal team, there's some North London derby chat, and quite a bit about food including: pancakes, bacon, cheese, eggplants, lasagne and lots more.

In this week's show I chat with Dara Ó Briain, comedian, TV ever-present, science bloke, hat wearer, and, of course, Arsenal fan. He's in Dublin with his new show, so we sat down in my studio for an Interlull chat which took in airport hassles, stolen bikes, a Trondheim lap-dancing club, noisy crowds, his upcoming tour of Leeds, some Arsenal, some Eddie, and lots more.

On this week's show, we look back at the 3-1 defeat to Man City which took place in the distant jet-lagged past. From team selection and a lack of Lacazette, to contentious issues like the penalty and the offside, it's all in there, along with our outlook for the team after 11 games of the season. We chat about the manager, the importance of the Sp*rs game after the Interlull, Santi Cazorla's injury and possible return, why Lee Dixon is actually Kenny Rogers, and lots lots more besides.

In this week's show I chat with the brilliant David Squires about his cartooning, Jose Mourinho's in or out bollocks, difficult drawings, and his new book The Illustrated History of Football - Hall of Fame, which is tremendous fun. We met in Sydney this afternoon, sat down in a quiet place which soon became not that quiet so we found somewhere quieter and then went for a beer. Hosted on Acast.
