Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

This episode is dominated by Arsenal's involvement in the proposed European Super League. We chat about how we feel about the plan itself, and the way that news was delivered with such contempt for fans. There's discussion of the ownership, the executives, what this will mean for fans, for the rest of the season, and how it impacts the games we have left. There's a lot us trying to work this stuff out during the conversation itself, before we do some football stuff surrounding the 1-1 draw with Fulham, including Nketiah's goal, Mat Ryan, Hector Bellerin and lots more as we circle back around to the super league stuff again.Here's the petition to help save the Tollington: http://chng.it/GnTqfnt4rsHere's the thread on the ESL finances distribution: https://twitter.com/james_corbett/status/1352652214272217088Visit Arsebiz to support fellow Gooners.

In this episode we enjoy the 3-0 win over Sheffield United, accepting fully that the opposition wasn't great. We chat about Granit Xhaka at left-back and some very interesting heatmaps that generated; the selection of Gabriel Martinelli and his contribution which culminated in a goal; Alexandre Lacazette's double strike; Bukayo Saka at the 10 and Thomas Partey as a one-man midfield. We then take listener questions about Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's absence, whether reports of squad unrest stand up to any scrutiny, the team for Thursday's second leg in Prague, Folarin Balogun agreeing a new contract and lots more.Here's the heatmap image.Visit Arsebiz to support fellow Gooners.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 I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to talk about Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Slavia Prague in the Europa League. We discuss a disappointing result, the way game was managed, substitutions, the overall performance, the reaction to going ahead, the late equaliser we conceded, and what it says about these players. We also discuss Mikel Arteta in the context of this game, and broaden the discussion out into where we're going, compromised principles, the need for a plan and identity, how the club have committed to the Arteta/Edu project, and why, if the owners don't get more hands on, the future could be a bleak one for Arsenal.Follow Philippe @philippeauclairIf you want to become an Arseblog Member on Patreon, you can sign up at patreon.com/arseblog for just €5 per month.

In this episode we look back at the dismal 3-0 defeat to Liverpool on Saturday. We were missing key players, but that's no excuse for such a limp, lifeless performance in which we barely competed. Mikel Arteta's team selection, tactics and approach are up for discussion, and it's clear the manager got it wrong. We also chat about the impact of losing Kieran Tierney, using Aubameyang on the left, and much more, before taking questions about the captaincy, muddled thinking from Edu and Arteta, realistic expectations for the summer business we need to do, selling Rob Holding, Hector Bellerin and beyond.Visit Arsebiz to support fellow Gooners.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 I'm joined first by Tim Stillman to talk about the big news on the Arsenal Women front – the impending departure of head coach Joe Montemurro. We chat about his time at the club, the reasons for his decision, what he'll leave behind and what comes next in terms of finding a replacement. We also discuss the job of squad management Mikel Arteta has to do between now and the end of the season with, hopefully, another 14 games to play in under two months.Then, for some pre-Liverpool chat it's Neil Atkinson from the Anfield Wrap to talk about their season, being unable to celebrate being champions, what's going wrong during this campaign, whether they'll have an eye on their Champions League tie against Real Madrid on Tuesday, and lots more.Follow Tim @Stillberto - Follow Neil @knox_harringtonIf you want to become an Arseblog Member on Patreon, you can sign up at patreon.com/arseblog for just €5 per month.

In this episode, we try and make sense of yesterday's extraordinary 3-3 draw with West Ham. We chat about the vast chasm between how bad we can be and how good we can be, the goals we conceded, the incredible response to coming back from 3-0 down, the influence of Martin Odegaard, Calum Chambers and Alexandre Lacazette, how both sides could have won it, and how the things we're doing well are consistently being undermined by the stuff we do badly. Then there are listener questions about centre-halves, keeping Odegaard, Bernd Leno's recent form, the great striker debate and lots more.Visit Arsebiz to support fellow Gooners.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
