Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

On this week's show we dissect another disappointing showing, this time the 0-0 draw with Sunderland. Why did Olivier Giroud start? What has Joel Campbell done to be so ignored? What the hell was that from Theo Walcott? We chat about the manager, his pulling power come this summer, and then answer listener questions about fantasy signings, similarities to the end of the George Graham era, Arsene Wenger's position and beliefs, before rounding off with stuff about cold food and terrifying birds.

On this week's Arsecast, and because it was all weird with Thursday night football, I chat with Philippe Auclair about Arsene Wenger and the situation at the club right now. We chat about the pressure Wenger is under, his role in eventual change, the club's ability to deal with a new manager, and more. After that I'm joined by Andrew Allen to discuss the West Brom game, the atmosphere, some Theo Walcott issues, and all the rest. I also give you the winners of the Danny Karbassiyoon book competition at last. And there's some of the usual waffle too for waffle fans. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this week's show we look back at the 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace yesterday, in terms of the performance, the goal we conceded, what it means in the context of what has been a dismal few months for the club, and for Arsene Wenger. We answer listeners questions about what needs to change, what a new manager might bring to the club, our extraordinary ambition, other sports to follow, and an in-depth discussion about the best crisps #jamonruffles.

On this week's Arsecast I am beset by audio woes as the installation of new equipment reminds me to just leave stuff alone. Eventually I manage to talk to The Man from East Lower, and at some point we discuss football, the manager, what's left of this season and more. After that, I chat with Ted Knutson, founder of Stats Bomb, about the ever-increasing use of stats and data in football, from analysts to specific departments in clubs, and the growing influence it's having on the game itself.

On this week's show we take a look back at the 3-3 draw with West Ham, and discuss why it was we let such a good situation slip. We look at the defending, lack of in-game management, leadership, and what Arsenal lack compared to other teams in this league. We also answer listener questions about our central defenders, on whether the season is 'over', the role of Steve Bould, wonder about a back room addition who could spark some life into us with half-time team talks, and lots more.

Right then, time for this week's Arsecast, and it's Danny heavy episode. After analysing some of Danny Mills' punditry, I'm joined by Danny Karbassiyoon, a man whose only Arsenal goal came when he left Mills in his wake at Man City in a Carling Cup game. We chat about his new book 'The Arsenal Yankee', his time at Arsenal and how his career was cut short by injury. We also discuss his move into scouting, how that changes your view of the game, finding talents like Joel Campbell and Gedion Zelalem, how you can be a top youth player and find the professional game more of a struggle, and lots more.Danny's book is out now, you can get all the details on the website thearsenalyankee.com, or follow him on Twitter @dkarbassiyoon. We've also got a couple of signed copies to give away in a competition and there's the usual waffle in there too, for all you waffle fans. Hosted on Acast.

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.
