Arsecast Extra Episode 175 - 17.05.2017
On this extra Arsecast Extra we look back on Tuesday night's 2-0 win over Sunderland, how goalkeeping heroics kept us at bay before Alexis found a way through, all the empty seats on show and how Arsenal should react. We also discuss how vital it is to keep Sanchez at the club, before answer questions about summer transfer plans, which positions are most important, our goalkeeping options, changing the rules for certain teams, Alex Iwobi's development, pineapple on pizza and lots more.

Arsecast Extra Episode 174 - 15.05.2017
On this week's show James battles manfully through a sore throat as we talk about the very enjoyable 4-1 win over Stoke at the weekend, the ever increasing love for Rob Holding, a great Mesut Ozil goal, some laughter at Shawcross and Arnautovic, plus the weekend's other Premier League action. We then answer listener questions about whether more points this season would be improvement, what can be read into Alexis Sanchez's celebration, the goalkeepers, the Europa League and lots more.

Episode 429 - Change-a-doodle-doo
Time now for this week's Arsecast, and with me to discuss the week that was, with two wins, two clean sheets, and all the rest is Jim Campbell from The Football Ramble. We chat about on and off the pitch goings-on, boardroom stuff, Arsene Wenger and more. There's also a bumper sized lot of the usual waffle including the manager pretending not to know what a Director of Football is, musical earworms, more *boilk* mug competitions and some Holy God FM.

Arsecast Extra Episode 173 - 08.05.2017
On this week's show we enjoy a goodly morning as we discuss the 2-0 win over Man Utd, defeating Jose Mourinho and his DNA sucking evil, laughing at Ander Herrera, and basically enjoying the fact that we won a big game that we really needed to win. We chat about the formation, the goals, Danny Welbeck celebrating, and all the rest, before answering listener questions about our wing-backs for the future, dead cats bouncing, whether Arsene Wenger should take a leaf out of the Nelson Vivas handbook, Alexis and his dodgy Instagram soundtracks and lots more.

Episode 428 - New impressions
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
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.

Episode 427 - NLD
Ahead of a North London derby I chat with Arsenal journalist Layth Yousif about his thoughts on the big game, the midweek game against Leicester, empty seats and more. We also hear from the other side with Harry Hotspur, Wembley waffle, there's a chance to win Mesut Ozil's book and lots more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Arsecast Extra Episode 171 - 24.04.2017
On this week's show we discuss the 2-1 FA Cup semi-final win over Man City, the performance, the system, individual displays and the prospect of the final next month against Chelsea. We chat about how James being ill was the true catalyst for change, as well as answering questions about The Ox, Hector Bellerin's hair, the possibility of a top four finish, what a listener should call his adorable new puppy, some fantastic sounding FA Cup final scenarios, and lots more.

Episode 426 - The Wright Stuff
This week's Arsecast is a pretty special one because yesterday I went to London to sit down for an hour with the one and only Ian Wright. I don't need to give you any bumph about who he is or what a legend he is, so I'll just tell you that we chat about his Arsenal career, his work as a pundit and how hard it is for him to separate the professional and personal when he watches this team play, what's going on at the moment from the manager to the players to the boardroom and beyond, and lots more. It's a great chat, full of passion and love for the Arsenal, but he doesn't hold back either. Big thanks to @DJTayo for helping us find a place to record yesterday, and of course to Ian for taking the time to come and talk to me. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Arsecast Extra Episode 170 - 18.04.2017
On this week's show James joins us from sunny Mallorca where he's eating all the Jamon Ruffles to discuss the 2-1 win over Middlesbrough on Monday night, the decision to go with a back three for the first time in 20 years, and how we still kind of made hard work of it. We ask whether the back three is going to be a long-term thing, especially with an FA Cup semi-final on Sunday, before answering listener's questions about Sead Kolasinac, the players post-game reaction and messages to the fans, who might benefit most from the new system, and why we need to get James to see the Supervet for the sake of all that's good about the human race. All that and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
