Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

 In this episode we discuss the 2-1 win over Leeds on Sunday. A game that started brilliantly with two early goals and in which we played 10 men for over an hour became quite nerve-wracking after their out of the blue goal in the second period. We chat about the fear, why it was so intense when in reality Arsenal were in control for the most part, losing composure and how it manifested itself, James' coping mechanism, as well as how important the three points were, and a bit focus on some excellent individual performances. There are inevitable questions about the derby on Thursday which feels very much like a cup final given everything that's at stake, including how we might set up and what tweaks we might make to our defensive line-up. Plus Mohamed Elneny's contract, some chat about Mikel Arteta's new deal and lots more before we have to give up after talking ourselves into a state of turmoil.Get 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 discuss the 3-1 win over Man Utd at the Emirates on Saturday. Arsenal scored first, went further ahead, but conceded quickly. It wasn't all one way traffic either, and we chat about the chances the opposition had, some of the big decisions, and some moments where we rode our luck a little bit. However, there was much to enjoy, not least the penalty miss and Granit Xhaka's first goal of the season, capping what has been a very good for the team. We then answer questions about Nuno Tavares and the ups and downs to his performance, links to Gabriel Jesus, a new deal for Mohamed Elneny, pundit reaction to the win, and lots moreGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog – this month every penny we earn from Patreon will be donated to Unicef to help children affected by conflict around the world.
