Arsecast Extra Episode 567 - 05.02.2024

In this episode we look back at the 3-1 win over Liverpool on Sunday. We start by addressing the complaints of the Celebration Police after Arsenal won a big game, and some of the usual characters involved in that nonsense. Then attention turns to the actual football, and we talk about the starting line-up, Jorginho's best game for the club, the goals and big incidents, including calamitous defending at both ends – before discussing how this win opens up the title race again, and Arsenal's place in it. Are we now set-up to be more of a second half of the season team? Then there are questions about time wasting, Leandro Trossard, some more on Jorginho and his future, Gabriel Jesus being absent again, Kai Havertz, 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.

Arsecast Extra Episode 566 - 31.01.2024

In this episode we look back at the 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night. We start with a discussion about the difficulties of facing a low block approach, and we wonder whether fan anxiety about our ability to break down packed defences is one that will be shared by the team and the manager – especially on an evening when we did find enough to win the game, in no small part thanks to Gabriel Jesus. We chat about how we found joy, especially in the second half; conceding a late goal to add some nerves to the ending; and the heated discussion between Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko after the final whistle. Then we have listener questions about football terminology, players shifting positions in-game, why it is we concede so often to the opposition's first chance, Albert Sambi Lokonga, 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.

Episode 768 - You buy what you don't have

In this episode I'm joined by Lewis Ambrose to discuss Thomas Partey's return to training, Richard Garlick's upcoming new role, Arsenal and the Deloitte Money League, before we dive into the club's spending under Mikel Arteta in the context of the ongoing demand for a big-name, big money striker. We've spent a lot in most positions, but up front – not really, and we delve into that in some detail.

Aman was, almost certainly, the first British South Asian to play for Arsenal Women and was certainly the first British South Asian Woman to represent England at any level. Tim talks to Aman about her career, her route into football from her childhood in Southampton and how she got to Arsenal, idolising David Seaman, her scholarship to Tennessee, her career ending due to a knee injury and subsequent work with Kick It Out and the FA and her drift away from football to open an Indian restaurant in Canada.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Arsecast Extra Episode 564 - 22.01.2024

In this episode we look back on Saturday's 5-0 win over Crystal Palace. There's discussion of Arsenal's set-piece prowess as that dominated the first half talking points, and the balance between being good at them and reliant on them. There were three open play goals in the second half, with confidence boosts for Trossard and Martinelli, and we also chat about the performance in general and how much we can take from it against a poor Palace side. We also talk about the substitutes, in particular Emile Smith Rowe getting substantial minutes, plus questions about Gabriel Magalhaes and his impact since signing, David Raya having an important moment, set-piece signals, 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.
