Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to discuss Arsenal's 3-0 win over Monaco on Wednesday evening. We begin with the decision to start Myles Lewis-Skelly, his role in the opening goal, and assess what was a very promising performance from the 18 year old, before discussing the first half chances which should have seen the Gunners have the gamn won by the break. Then there's analysis of Monaco's second half improvement, the change that really shifted the dynamic back in our favour, the impact yet again of Bukayo Saka and lots more.Then I chat to David Squires, whose weekly Guardian cartoons have entertained us all down the years. He has a new book out, so we chat about some his process, how the madness of football provides a constant mine for his creative talents, and some of his Arsenal drawings.
