Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

This landmark episode of the podcast is beset by technical difficulties – how typical! – but we muddle through to mark the occasion of episode 500. We talk a bit about the World Cup and the Arsenal players involved, before we take lots of listener questions who ask questions about questions, memories of the 500 episodes published to do, some football stuff re: the January window and a couple of key players, before we engage in more very serious stuff about nonsense, including some brand new magpie facts – complete with a new jingle.Here's the episode where James interviews Andrew: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm0eDzEAnpQHere's the Tim Sherwood FA Cup final bit: https://soundcloud.com/arseblog/what-did-tim-sherwood-say-to-his-players-after-the-fa-cup-finalDon't forget, the Arsecast Extra Goodly Morning mug is on sale, with all proceeds going to charity.

In this episode I'm joined first by Andrew Allen to chat a bit about the 3-1 defeat to Brighton in the Carabao Cup. We discuss fringe players failing to make an impact, but with so much rotation, is that realistic? We chat about the likes of Rob Holding, Fabio Vieira and Albert Sambi Lokonga.Then I talk to Amy Lawrence about the overall picture at Arsenal right now, sitting top of the table and being an annoyance to the powerhouse that is Man City. Is this at all comparable to previous Arsenal teams?

In this episode it's nothing personal as we enjoy a 1-0 win away at Chelsea, and although we've won there before in recent seasons, this was something different. We chat about the quality of Arsenal's performance from start to finish, and how the technical level of this team is key to what we're doing right now. There's discussion of Gabriel Jesus and his performance versus another striker's; other individuals who stood out; rendering Chelsea ineffective; and some props for Mikel Arteta's role in the improvement of the team and the club as a whole. We also answer questions about Aubameyang's pre-game video, Granit Xhaka's increased contribution, the manager and his technical area, Ben White and lots more.We also announce the official Arsecast Extra Goodly Morning mug is on sale, with all proceeds going to charity.

There's discussion of Eddie Nketiah and Albert Sambi Lokonga, assessing their contributions during the group stage, plus Kieran Tierney sends Mikel Arteta a reminder, complicated contracts, the January window and more.Follow Charles @charles_wattsGet 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 enjoy the 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday and discuss a fast start, some half-time worries, a fantastic second period and a huge contribution from Reiss Nelson who got two goals and an assist after he replaced Bukayo Saka. We talk about this being the reset Mikel Arteta was looking for, Saka's treatment by opponents and officials, and then a superb second half from the team and Nelson in particular. We round out by assessing our position at the top of the table after a hectic October before we answer listener questions about Gabriel Jesus and some visible frustration as his goal 'drought' continues, Kieran Tierney, title-race odds, whether Nelson's goals change the January transfer window needs, Tony Adams dancing 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.
