On today's show I'm joined by James Benge to discuss the 5-1 win over Sunderland in the Carabao Cup. Contrasting fortunes for young strikers Folarin Balogun and Eddie Nketiah, but what does the future hold for both of them? Mikel Arteta wants Eddie to stay, but is there a better time for him to leave than next summer when he's out of contract? We also chat about Nicolas Pepe, a goalscoring debut for 18 year old Charlie Patino, and lots more – plus there's a bit of festive Holy God FM.Follow James @jamesbengeIf you want to become an Arseblog Member on Patreon, you can sign up at patreon.com/arseblog for just €5 per month.

In this episode we discuss the 4-1 win over Leeds on Saturday evening. They might have been poor, but what we did was still impressive, with three goals and a record number of attempts on target in the first half. There's discussion of the continuing emergence of Gabriel Martinelli after his two goal salvo, his reintroduction to the team of late, and developmental work behind the scenes. We also chat about Martin Odegaard, another great cameo from Smith Rowe, the penalty we conceded, as well as listener questions about our recent form, the importance of Takehiro Tomiyasu, Rob Holding reporting racist abuse, Aaron Ramsdale winding up Leeds fans with his celebrations and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we discuss the impressive 2-0 win over West Ham which sent us into the top four. There's focus on Gabriel Martinelli who scored the opener, Bukayo Saka, missing a penalty, Smith Rowe's goal which sealed the game, and ensuring that a big opportunity didn't pass us by – especially in the wake of all that's happened off-field this week. We also talk about the exciting potential of the young players in this team, and answer questions about how we fit them all in, whether the Aubameyang situation might change the thinking over Alexandre Lacazette, home form v away form, worries over disruption to football because of the rise in Covid cases, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we discuss the 3-0 win over Southampton on Saturday. After a shaky start we scored a breathtaking goal to spark us into life, and set us on the way to three points. We chat about that kind of goal and the way you have to play to score it, Martin Odegaard grabbing his third in three games, a hugely impressive second half, and ponder the stark difference between our home and away form this season. In the second half there's a big discussion about the Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang situation, what happened and why, how it became public, and what happens next. There are also questions about strikers, the pecking order, potential January business, the captaincy, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Santi Cazorla and loads more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we discuss the 2-1 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park. We talk about the team selection, the return of Granit Xhaka, and the terrible first half performance, even though we went in a goal up. There's a long discussion about our inability to create chances and the way Mikel Arteta instructs his team to play, as well as real focus on his substitutions and the decisions he made which had such a big impact on the game. What now for Aubameyang and Pepe? We chat about the goals we conceded, our position in the table, and why the last two games have felt so damaging. We also have some questions about Thomas Partey, what kind of team Arsenal are, Mikel Arteta and where we're going (or not) under him, and more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

On today's show the focus is on last night's 3-2 defeat to Man Utd. I'm joined by Phil Costa and Ryan Hunn to discuss team selection; going ahead then sitting back and why this team does that so often; the goals we conceded and whether it's individual errors or collective issues that were the main problem; disappointing senior players; Mikel Arteta's substitutions and what they say about those involved and one player in particular who wasn't; and lots more.Follow Phil @_philcosta : Follow Ryan @ryanhunnVisit Arsebiz to support fellow Arsenal fans with your Christmas shopping - https://arsebiz.arseblog.com/If you want to become an Arseblog Member on Patreon, you can sign up at patreon.com/arseblog for just €5 per month.
