Arsecast Extra Episode 265 - 07.01.2019
January 07, 2019 21:00 - 1 hour - 74.3 MBOn this week's show a look back on the 3-0 FA Cup win over Blackpool, the performances of our young players including double goal scorer Joe Willock, Eddie Nketiah and Ainsley-Maitland Niles. Why developing youngsters for the first team could pay dividends on the pitch and to our bank balance. Transfer gossip involving Denis Suarez from Barcelona, whether we'll buy a centre-half or wait until summer, before we get questions from listeners about Aaron Ramsey, the future for some of our veteran...
Episode 508 - 1929
January 04, 2019 05:05 - 51 minutes - 47.4 MBOn this week's show I chat to Christine Seddeon, Chairperson of the Blackpool Supporter's Trust, ahead of our FA Cup game against the League One side. She explains why the ground will be relatively empty despite a glamorous third round tie, the problems the fans have with the owner, why they've been boycotting games since 2015 and how teh visiting fans can help this weekend. There's also Arsenal chat with inspirational video maker Frimpon (@Frimponline), on the agenda the festive period, how ...
Arsecast Extra Episode 264 - 30.12.2018
December 30, 2018 15:08 - 1 hour - 83.5 MBOn the agenda: the 5-1 defeat to Liverpool and the calamitous defending from some players who just aren't up to it. We discuss the goals we conceded, the hapless nature of our defending, how badly we defending, what a load of rubbish we were at the back, and how we can't defend to save our lives. How much is on personnel and how much is on Unai Emery? Then there's the Mesut Ozil situation AGAIN, and why moving him on in January might well be the best thing for the club if we can make it happe...
Episode 507 - Mugsmasher chat
December 27, 2018 16:57 - 43 minutes - 39.9 MBA no frills between Christmas and New Year episode in which I chat with my Liverpool supporting brother, The Mugsmasher, about the upcoming game against them at Anfield. There are some brief thoughts from me about the 1-1 draw with Brighton too, but it's mostly about Saturday, their season so far, and it's a leisurely waffle to help the post-feasting digestion. James and I will have an Arsecast Extra after the Liverpool game. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Arsecast Extra Episode 263 - 23.12.2018
December 23, 2018 11:52 - 1 hour - 67.3 MBWe got back to winning ways with a 3-1 defeat of Burnley at the Emirates on Saturday. There's a lot of love for Sokratis after an excellent performance at the back, the return of Mesut Ozil, Aubameyang's goals, Iwobi's end product, and good character from this Arsenal side and manager, not to mention the hilarious bleating from the Burnley manager about the way the game was played. We then answer listener questions about Alexandre Lacazette's reaction to being subbed, how well our summer sign...
Episode 506 - NÖzil
December 21, 2018 05:01 - 59 minutes - 54.4 MBIt's not an Arsecast Extra but James is with me to discuss the 2-0 defeat to Sp*rs in the Carabao Cup, the performance, the attacking and defensive issues, and the big issue which was the absence of Mesut Ozil from the squad for what were called 'tactical reasons'. It's clear something else is going on, we're not sure exactly what but it's not healthy and we tease it out as much as possible. There's also the winner of the t-shirt competition from a couple of weeks again from goodhonestpro.com...
Arsecast Extra Episode 262 - 17.12.2018
December 17, 2018 11:51 - 1 hour - 76 MBThe unbeaten run is over after 22 games with a 3-2 defeat to Southampton. We discuss the team selection, the performance, the manager's decisions and substitutions, attacking profligacy and defensive insecurity, plus the need to see how we respond to this setback and the dropped points. There's a call for the club to back Unai Emery in the transfer market as injuries mount at the back, plus listener questions about how to approach the Carabao Cup game against Sp*rs, our less than impressive f...
Episode 505 - Listen
December 14, 2018 09:26 - 1 hour - 66.6 MBOn this week's show there's a brief recap of the 1-0 win over Qarabag before I chat to Tayo Popoola and Clive Palmer about the Raheem Sterling incident last weekend, the reaction to it from sections of the media both positive and negative, how football can play a role in combating such abhorrent behaviour, the wider societal questions and much more. Then I'm joined by Josh James, co-author of Arsenal: The Complete Record, a fantastic new book which details Arsenal's history in informative and...
Arsecast Extra Episode 261 - 10.12.2018
December 10, 2018 11:11 - 1 hour - 75.4 MBOn this week's show we look back at the 1-0 win over Huddersfield thanks to Lucas Torreira's late, great goal. There's plenty of chat about the Uruguayan as he continues to make his mark on the club, as well as Unai Emery's team selection, the half-time double change, the injuries and suspensions but ultimately three good points to cap off what has been a challenging week with three difficult Premier League fixtures in seven days. Then we answer listener questions about the centre of our defe...
Episode 504 - Best Fran Merida
December 07, 2018 05:00 - 52 minutes - 48.1 MBOn this week's show I'm joined by Goonerholic and the Man from East Lower to discuss what has been a good week for the Gunners. We go back to Sunday's win over Sp*rs, touch on the midweek draw with Man Utd, discuss the incredible impact Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has had since his arrival, Rob Holding's unfortunate injury, Unai Emery's tactical shifts and lots more. There's also the chance to win a t-shirt from goodhonestpro.com, the winner of the David Squires book, a good dose of the usual w...
Arsecast Extra Episode 260 - 03.12.2018
December 03, 2018 12:23 - 1 hour - 82.2 MBIt's an especially goodly morning as the derby day triumph dominates today's episode. We enjoy the 4-2 routing of Sp*rs at the Emirates yesterday on what was a great day for Arsenal, the fans and Unai Emery. A red hot atmosphere inside the stadium, a team which showed real character and quality, and a manager whose decisions had a positive impact on the game. We chat about the collective and individual performances, the goals, why beating this particular iteration of Tottenham was so enjoyabl...
Arsecast Extra Episode 259 - 30.11.2018
November 30, 2018 05:01 - 1 hour - 72.3 MBOn this episode James and I look back on the 3-0 win over FC Vorskla in the Europa League and focus on the promising performances of the young players. We chat about the potential of Emile Smith Rowe after his third goal of the season, why the Qarabag game gives us another chance to see them in action, and generally wax lyrical about the prospects coming through our academy. After that we focus on the North London derby this weekend, the potential team selection, the importance of the game fo...
Arsecast Extra Episode 258 - 26.11.2018
November 26, 2018 12:27 - 1 hour - 77.8 MBOn this week's show we get back to winning ways with a 2-1 win over Bournemouth, but we do continue to ride our luck at times. We discuss the change of formation, the yin and yang of our performance as a collective as well as some individuals, the goals we scored, the one we let in and what Unai Emery will have learned from this game ahead of the upcoming North London derby. Then we answer listener questions about Mesut Ozil being left on the bench yesterday, what kind of team we'd pick for t...
Episode 503 - He did it his way
November 23, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 70.6 MBOn this week's show I chat to Tim Stillman about the great start to the season for Arsenal Women and go behind the scenes a bit with Joe Montemurro's team before we chat about the January transfer window, Unai Emery opening the windows on his arrival at Arsenal, the dangers of spending too long out of the Champions League, the new executive team and more. Then it's a warm welcome back to David Squires whose brilliant cartoons keep us entertained every week in the Guardian, and you can win a c...
Arsecast Extra Episode 257 – 19.11.2018
November 19, 2018 12:24 - 1 hour - 73.7 MBIn this week's somewhat rambling Interlull episode, we discuss the excitement of the Nations League thingy, Granit Xhaka, Unai Emery's use of video, and Matteo Guendouzi's start to his Arsenal career before we answer listener questions about xG, give each player a rating out of 10 for the season so far, making substitutions via half-time votes, where we'd like to see transfers made if we make some in January, the future for Emi Martinez and lots more. The Gordon Ramsey video we referenced ...
Episode 502 - Admirable Nelson
November 16, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 56.7 MBIt's the Interlull but we still have a show for you, and today I chat to the BBC's David Ornstein about Reiss Nelson. David was in Germany to chat to the on-loan Arsenal youngster who is making a big impact in the Bundesliga, so we discuss his development, young players looking beyond the Premier League, whether he might come back in January and more, before we move on to other matters at Arsenal like the new executive set-up, the January transfer window, Danny Welbeck's future and beyond. Th...
Arsecast Extra Episode 256 - 11.11.2018
November 11, 2018 21:59 - 1 hour - 76.4 MBOn this week's show the disappointing 1-1 draw with Wolves at home. We're used to bad first halves, but we got a bad second half too, and should we start to ask questions of Unai Emery for what is a consistent problem? We discuss team selection, the substitutions, riding our luck again – which includes the goal – and not for the first time this season we have an excellent performance from our goalkeeper to thank for getting something from the game. Then we have listener questions about Danny ...
Episode 501 - Bad luck for Welbeck
November 09, 2018 10:50 - 45 minutes - 41.3 MBArsenal qualified for the knockout stages of the Europa League with a 0-0 draw against Sporting, but the main focus is on the apparently serious injury sustained by Danny Welbeck. I'm joined by Tayo Popoola to discuss the game, the injury and how it will affect the England international's future, the door it might open for another young striker, the Europa League in general and how we should approach the final two games. There are more thoughts on Welbeck's contractual situation, a little bit...
Episode 500 - El Maestro
November 06, 2018 14:50 - 54 minutes - 49.4 MBIn this 500th episode of the podcast, I chat to Romain Molina, the author of a new book about Unai Emery. 'El Maestro' gives us a fascinating insight into the man and the manager, and Romain has spoken to Emery himself, as well as countless people who have worked with him throughout his career from his time as a player and throughout his managerial spells at Lorca Deportiva, Almeria, Valencia, Spartak Moscow, Sevilla, PSG and now Arsenal. There's also a chance for you to win a signed copy of ...
Arsecast Extra Episode 255 - 04.11.201
November 04, 2018 18:54 - 1 hourThis week we're looking at the 1-1 draw against Liverpool and a performance which was a real positive under Unai Emery. The character to come from behind, Alexandre Lacazette's brilliant goal, the growing importance and influence of Lucas Torreira and why he sets an example for his teammates, hard work from a group of players who are responding to the demands of the manager, and all the other talking points from the game itself. Then we answer questions about Rob Holding and his place in the...

Episode 499 - Emery's next big test
November 02, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 61.4 MBArsenal face Liverpool at the Emirates this weekend, in what is the biggest test for Unai Emery since the opening two game of the season. The Gunners have taken a fantastic 22 points from 24, but this is where we see if real progress is being made. Joining me, separately, to discuss are @DanielStorey85 and @Antonstotle, chatting the threat of Liverpool, how Arsenal might set up their side, player contracts, and lots more with a very minimal amount of the usual waffle. Hosted on Acast. See a...
Arsecast Extra Episode 254 - 28.10.2018
October 28, 2018 17:56 - 1 hour - 65.3 MBOn this week's show we record right after the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. A tale of two penalties for the home side, some dodgy defending on Arsenal's part and we discuss Shkodran Mustafi, Granit Xhaka at left-back again, taking the lead then our inability to control the game, and what was a fairly ineffectual attacking performance. We then answer listener questions about Alex Iwobi on the right rather than the left, the continued use of Aubameyang on the left hand side, Me...
Episode 498 - Portugeezer
October 26, 2018 04:11 - 1 hour - 64.5 MBOn this week's show I chat Lewis Ambrose about our 1-0 victory over Sporting in the Europa League, our 11th successive win thanks to Danny Welbeck's goal; the individual performances which caught the eye including Matteo Guendouzi and Rob Holding, as well as the increasing influence of Lucas Torreira; before Lewis gives us some insight into the excellent start Reiss Nelson has made to his loan spell with Hoffenheim. Then it's Rory Smith of the New York Times to discuss the reaction of some ...

Arsecast Extra Episode 253 - 23.10.2018
October 22, 2018 23:19 - 1 hour - 64.6 MBOn this week's show we record right after our 3-1 win over Leicester at the Emirates. An iffy first half was followed by an excellent second, Mesut Ozil and his captain's armband stole the show, and we scored yet another sublime goal to help us to our tenth successive win in all competitions. We discuss the game, team selection, another second half improvement, try to decide between the third goal tonight and Ramsey's against Fulham, Alex Iwobi, Unai Emery, and lots lots more. Hosted on Aca...
Episode 497 - Improvement
October 19, 2018 05:10 - 56 minutes - 51.9 MBOn this week's show I chat with Clive Palmer about the work Unai Emery is doing, from creating a pathway for young players to make it to the first team, to changing the mentality of the players as he looks to build a platform on which to create his own style of play. What are the improvements we've seen so far? And the Spaniard's insistence that there's still plenty more to do is a real positive. Lots of that, some daft waffle, and more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more infor...
Arsecast Extra Episode 252 - 15.10.2018
October 15, 2018 11:56 - 1 hour - 71.8 MBOn this week's Interlull Arsecast Extra we discuss Thierry Henry's appointment as Monaco coach, Laurent Koscielny's retirement from international football and his very honest comments about France, and Aaron Ramsey on his contract, before answering questions about the team that might face Leicester in a week's time, Henrikh Mkhitaryan's season so far, the chants at the Fulham game, a dream five a side team spanning five decades, plus terrible voice acting, great advice if you want to avoid ge...
Episode 496 - xG and Arsenal Women
October 12, 2018 04:00 - 54 minutes - 50.3 MBOn this week's Interlull Arsecast we discuss stats with Tim from 7amkickoff. Arsenal are over-performing when it comes to Expected Goals. What does that mean exactly? Tim delves into that, as well as some of the other interesting stats he's noticed at this early stage of the season, and some focus on a few particular first team players. After that I chat to Tim Stillman about Arsenal Women, the history of the team, the success we've had, the challenges faced by the women's game, and more. H...
Arsecast Extra Episode 251 - 07.10.2018
October 07, 2018 20:12 - 1 hour - 77.3 MBOn this week's show we enjoy the 5-1 win over Fulham, two goals each for Lacazette and Aubameyang, a truly beautiful goal of the season contender from Aaron Ramsey, some tactical flexibility from Unai Emery as he goes 442 (something for the Sodastream generation to enjoy), and the fact we're now in the top four and ahead of Sp*rs. Then we answer questions about our summer transfer business, Lucas Torreira's quality and his song, our calls for best player of the season so far and biggest surpr...
Episode 495 - Qarabag of love
October 05, 2018 04:29 - 59 minutes - 54.8 MBOn this week's show I'm joined by the Man from East Lower to discuss the 3-0 win over Qarabag in the Europa League. Should we be concerned at the defensive issues, or is this still just part of the process? We chat about bringing a strong squad to Azerbaijan, Emile Smith Rowe's first Arsenal goal, Alex Iwobi, our current run of eight successive wins and more. Then I speak to Dan Hilton of the Barcelona Podcast about Raul Sanllehi, the new Head of Football, to get some background on him, his w...
Arsecast Extra Episode 250 - 30.09.2018
September 30, 2018 19:19 - 1 hour - 69.3 MBOn this week's landmark 250th episode of the podcast, we look back at the 2-0 win over Watford, the seventh successive win in all competitions, and enjoy the fact we're winning game with such regularity. There are still things to discuss though, such as defensive vulnerability, balance in our front four, a solid Premier League debut for Bernd Leno, and two late goals which got us the points. Then we answer questions about the Aaron Ramsey situation, Alexandre Lacazette's honesty, Alex Iwobi p...
Episode 494 - Rambo to go?
September 28, 2018 05:29 - 57 minutes - 52.6 MBOn this week's show I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to get his thoughts on the early stages of the Unai Emery regime, the various conundrums the manager has got to contend with, Lacazette and Aubameyang, Ozil and Ramsey, and the club's contract wranglings which see players more and more often reach the final 12 months of their deals. There's a particular focus on Aaron Ramsey after yesterday's news about his situation, and more, as well as a good dollop of the usual waffle. Hosted on Acast. ...

September 24, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 75.1 MBOn this week's show we celebrate the first clean sheet of the season in the 2-0 win over Everton. Petr Cech was the man of the match, the front four contributed but raise questions, Lucas Torreira got his first start, and we're steadily racking up the wins after the difficult start to the season. Then we answer questions about why we're so slow to start games, Cech's improved form, Alex Iwobi knocking on the door, there's an invitation to Josh Kroenke, chat about leadership at the club, Arsen...
Episode 493 - Learning to run
September 21, 2018 11:35 - 53 minutes - 49.4 MBOn this week's show I'm joined by Amy Lawrence to discuss the 4-2 over FC Vorskla and the Europa League in general. We also chat about the new boss, the players response to his methods, and where we are at this very early point in the season. Then there's some boardroom chat in the wake of the Ivan Gazidis announcement, where will KSE take the club from here, and Amy reveals some snippets from a very interesting conversation with Per Mertesacker for an article to be published in this Sunday's...
Arsecast Extra Episode 248 - 17.09.2018
September 17, 2018 07:33 - 1 hour - 74.7 MBOn this week's show discussion of Saturday's 2-1, post-Interlull, win over Newcastle. After an unconvincing first half, the Gunners found their groove a bit in the second, but questions remain about what exactly we're trying to do and how we're trying to do it. Is that front four compatible? Should Lucas Torreira have started? Those questions and more answered, as well as listener questions about Unai Emery's pressing style, the potential departure of Ivan Gazidis, Europa League squad rotatio...
Episode 492 - Time for Torreira, please?!
September 14, 2018 07:11 - 45 minutes - 41.2 MBI'm still away on holidays, but the Premier League waits for no man and the people need a podcast to welcome back football after the Internet. So, James from Gunnerblog is here to have a bit of waffle, as well as a chat with Tim Stillman about the upcoming game against Newcastle, the Arsenal Women and more, and there's a bit of waffle at the end too. Please note: there's no theme music for this one because I can't find the files, so a weird funky little thing breaks up the sections of the ...
Arsecast Extra Episode 247 - 10.09.2018
September 10, 2018 10:14 - 55 minutes - 50.5 MBOn this week's Interlull show we have some connection issues between Spain and London, but we just about manage to discuss the international games, the Arsenal legends game at the weekend, Hector Bellerin's brave interview with The Times and, briefly, Santi Cazorla's fantastic interview with Sid Lowe in the Guardian. Then we answer questions about Alexandre Lacazette, Reiss Nelson's move to Germany, the way we judge players these days, and some other stuff too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.c...
Episode 491 - Liam Brady
September 07, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 69.5 MBLiam Brady is one of the greatest players ever to play for Arsenal, and as a young Irish lad, I enjoyed the fact he was such an important player for us – even if I never did see him play in the flesh while with at the club. We chat about his entire career, moving from Dublin to London at the age of 15, how he was scouted, making his way into the first team and establishing himself in the midfield, his decision to leave for Italy (it might have been elsewhere!), whether or not it was ever an...
Arsecast Extra Episode 246 - 03.09.2018
September 03, 2018 15:06 - 1 hour - 76.2 MBOn this week's show we look back at the 3-2 win over Cardiff, the fine performance from Alexandre Lacazette, some good fouling from the Gunners, the ability to respond to setbacks in game, and the fact three points before the Interlull is always welcome. We also discuss two players who are very much in the spotlight now – Petr Cech and Granit Xhaka. How many more games can the keeper be allowed make fundamental mistakes in, and do the positive aspects of Xhaka's game outweigh his lapses which...
Episode 490 - What is it with Mesut?
August 31, 2018 04:59 - 53 minutes - 49.1 MBOn this week's show I'm joined by Andrew Allen and Tim Stillman to discuss Mesut Ozil, his time at the club in general, his recent difficulties, and what the future might hold for him under Unai Emery's less indulgent regime. There's also chat about Reiss Nelson's potential move to Hoffenheim, following a trend of young English players going abroad, a look ahead to the Cardiff game, and a fair chunk of waffle involving the most hilarious story of the week – Jose Mourinho. Hosted on Acast. S...
Arsecast Extra Episode 245 - 27.08.2018
August 27, 2018 09:52 - 1 hour - 77.1 MBOn this week's show we look back at our first win of the season, beating West Ham 3-1 on Saturday. Three points are obviously very welcome, but Unai Emery and his players accept there's a lot more to do – especially defensively. We review the game and discuss the absence of Mesut Ozil through illness. It feels like there's something more to the situation, so we discuss the German in some depth. Then we answer listener questions about the goalkeeping position, Hector Bellerin being pushed furt...
Episode 489 - Alan Smith
August 24, 2018 05:02 - 51 minutes - 46.8 MBOn this week's show I chat with former Gunner Alan Smith as he celebrates the release of his new book 'Heads up - My life story'. We discuss how the book came to be, the fact he wrote it himself without a ghostwriter, his path into professional football, joining Arsenal from Leicester, his relationship with George Graham, scoring goals – important goals, moving into punditry, the challenges of that job, what's happening at Arsenal right now, and lots more. There's also some brief waffle abo...
Arsecast Extra Episode 244 - 20.08.2018
August 20, 2018 10:24 - 1 hour - 66.9 MBIn this week's podcast we look back at the 3-2 defeat to Chelsea where despite some encouraging attacking signs, our defensive weaknesses cost us any chance to get something from the game. Should we be optimistic that Unai Emery can sort out what are basic errors, or be concerned that experienced players are still making these kind of mistakes? We analyse the goals conceded, the manager's changes, our indifferent second half, and everything else that went down at Stamford Bridge. Then we answ...
Episode 488 - Social media un-Cech-d
August 17, 2018 04:44 - 1 hour - 55.2 MBOn this week's show I chat with Jack Pitt Brooke of the Independent about Matteo Guendouzi, his rise to prominence, where he came from, what kind of a character he is, and what lies ahead for him at Arsenal. Then there's Daniel Storey from Football 365 to discuss Petr Cech and social media 'bantz' after the Arsenal keeper took exception from some Tweets from Bayer Leverkeusen's English language account. Should he have even engaged? Or was he right to say something about an incident he conside...
Arsecast Extra Episode 243 - 13.08.2018
August 13, 2018 10:26 - 1 hour - 65.1 MBSo the Unai Emery era has begun, and not unexpectedly Man City were too strong for us. We discuss the match, the performance, the new style of play, and whether we might have been wiser to do things differently against the Champions, team selection, the debut of Matteo Guendouzi against such illustrious opposition, the need for patience as the new boss imprints his methods on the team, defensive and midfield worries, and we seek out some of the positives despite the defeat. Then we answer lis...
Episode 487 - New Season Preview 2
August 10, 2018 04:05 - 1 hour - 72.3 MBThis is the second of our new season preview episodes and in this one I have a chat with Tayo Popoola about what's to come, starting with Man City on Sunday, Alex Iwobi's deal and a little bit of Kroenke stuff too. Then it's Tim Stillman, Charles Watts and JB @GunnerPunner to talk about the rest of our summer business, defensive worries, strength up top, Unai Emery's impact on how we're going to play, and loads more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Episode 486 - New Season Preview 1
August 10, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 59.9 MBIn this first of two pre-season podcast episodes, I chat with Ken Early from Second Captains about the dawn of a new Premier League campaign, how quickly it's come around, Jose Mourinho's latest meltdown, Unai Emery's appointment, Liverpool's chances this season, and a look at the rest of the top six as well as teams which may have a chance of breaking into that upper echelon of the league. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Episode 485 - Stan and Deliver
August 07, 2018 13:31 - 1 hour - 58.2 MBIt's a special bonus Arsecast following the news that Alisher Usmanov has agreed to sell his stake in the club to Stan Kroenke – ultimately giving him 100% control of the shares. I chat with James from Gunnerblog and Tim Payton from the AST about the situation, how they feel about it as fans, what the impact and consequences might be, and how Arsenal will be changed for it. Then there's a bit of Kroenke stuff but a good dollop of football chat with the legend that is Ian Wright, who has some ...
