Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

On this week's show we look back at the rather nice 4-0 win over Watford, the contributions of Alexis and Alex Iwobi, the new midfield partnership of Coquelin and Elneny, and whether this was a performance enabled by the 'pressure being off'. We also discuss James' YouTube video in which he looks out of his mind as well as the young scamps giving him the finger in the background, before we answer listener's questions about doping in football, whether injured players should come back into the team when fit again, showboating, Ozil getting kicked up in the air, and lots more.

On this week's show I'm joined by Goonerholic and NorthBankLower to chat about David Rocastle, the return of Premier League action and what it might take for something good to happen for Arsenal, as well as injury news, the Watford game and more. As well as that I get some lovely email, we have a cool new sponsor, and there's all the usual waffle in there too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this week's Interlull edition of the show we decide that James ought to become a ship's captain so his friends marriages can become more convenient for him, and consider the possibility that spam email could be something it's not. We look at the English Arsenal players and their Euro 2016 chances, and round-up the other international action. Then we answer listener questions about Mesut Ozil who is a fish, the timing of this Interlull, Arsene Wenger, Lukaku, Xhaka, Aubameyang, and consider if we can sell a large inflatable object to Barcelona for £15m, amongst other things.

On this week's show we look at the 2-0 win over Everton, impressive goals from Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi, and the impact of the latter and the trust shown in him by the manager. There's defensive and midfield improvement to talk about, and we do a Predictatron from the remaining fixtures to see where the title is going to end up (hat-tip @Arse2Mouse podcast). After that we answer listeners questions about banners, Arsene Wenger's comments about the fans, how to improve up front and if Zlatan Ibrahmovic is the man for the job, why young defenders rarely make it through the academy, and lots more.

On the show this week I look back at the midweek trip to Barcelona, with some location recordings, vox-pops and more from the European trip I got back from last night at 1am. Please excuse my voice, or lack of it, it's been a long couple of days, and a man coughed on me and gave me the plague. I'm also joined by Roger Bennett, one half of the excellent Men in Blazers to chat about that and, as he's an Everton fan, to look ahead to tomorrow's game. I get his thoughts on that, Everton, Arsenal and lots more. There's some of the usual waffle, but tiredness means not too much. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week's episode was recorded the evening of the 2-1 defeat to Watford in the FA Cup. London had cider, Dublin had wine, and we tried to make some sense of the performance, the result and what it means for the season in general. We discuss the manager, his performance and his position, and basically become ever more exasperated and disheartened at what's gone on and how likely, or unlikely, things are to change – on and off the pitch.

On the show this week I look at how Arsenal fans online behave in the face of intense provocation, before I chat with Ben from REDaction about the ticket opt-out/boycott they were part of ahead of Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final against Watford. Then, there's some football chat with Julian H from Gingers4Limpar, a chance to win a t-shirt and a print from Art of Football, and all the usual waffle. Hosted on Acast.

In this week's show we look back at the 2-2 draw with Sp*rs in the North London derby. We discuss Francis Coquelin's red card, the selection of Mohamed Elneny in midfield, Danny Welbeck up front, and whether this was a result that we can be pleased with under the circumstances. After that we take listener's questions about the role of supporters, Alexis' body language at the end of the game, team selection for the FA Cup game against Hull, and much more, including the somewhat shocking news that James now defines world fashion.

After a week of anger, frustration and dismay, we try and cut through that to make some sense of it all. I'm joined by Tayo Popoola and Tim Stillman to talk about the Swansea game, the performance, and why we couldn't raise ourselves properly after the United loss. We analyse the way we play, discuss Alexis Sanchez's comments and form, Joel Campbell, empty seats and, of course, Arsene Wenger. There's some of the usual waffle in there too but not as much as normal, which may or may not be a bad thing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this week's rather grim show, we look back at the defeat at Old Trafford yesterday and talk about what it means for our title challenge, for the players, the manager and the club. What should happen if Arsenal don't win the league this season? More important, what will happen, bearing in mind the board and the owner that make those decisions. We chat about Theo Walcott, possible permutations for the Swansea game on Wednesday, and lighten the mood by chatting about someone being carved in two by a primitive weapon. Fun and games.
