Episode 484 - A Real Douzi ...
August 03, 2018 05:06 - 46 minutes - 42.3 MBOn this week's show a good whack of waffle from me about Arsenal in Dublin, a few snippets of info I picked up along the way, plus thoughts on the team's performance against Chelsea, and the need for patience overall – both in terms of things that aren't quite right yet and things which are in danger of being a bit overhyped. Then I talk to Dan Betts, author of Almost Invincible: Arsenal's Class of 91 – about the 1990-91 season in which Arsenal won the league losing just one game. A lot went ...
Arsecast Extra Episode 241 - 30.07.2018
July 30, 2018 09:12 - 1 hour - 67.1 MBOn this week's show we discuss the two games in Singapore against Atletico Madrid and PSG, some of the players who have caught in the eye – including Emile Smith Rowe and Matteo Guendouzi, Unai Emery's tactical openness, the Aubameyang on the left situation, and the many captains we're about to have before we answer listener questions about the centre of the defence, left back, potential new signings, the players who have been on holiday, why we appear to be so much more muscly, mispronunciat...
Episode 483 - Tunnel Area
July 27, 2018 04:21 - 59 minutes - 54.7 MBOn this week's show I chat with Tim Stillman about the game in Singapore, the Aaron Ramsey situation, and the strange goings-on involving Ivan Gazidis, AC Milan and that weird statement released by the club. After that, I interview Tom Markham, one of the producers of an amazing new film called 'Kaiser: The Greatest Footballer Never to Play Football'. It tells the remarkable story of 'Kaiser', a Brazilian who had a 26 year career in football despite being absolutely unable to play the game at...
Arsecast Extra Episode 240 - 23.07.2018
July 23, 2018 10:57 - 1 hour - 67.8 MBOn this week's show a pre-season round-up as the team heads to Singapore to play PSG and Atletico Madrid. We talk about the tour squad, a potential new deal for Alex Iwobi, the Ivan Gazidis/AC Milan situation and look forward to seeing what way Unai Emery is going to set up his team. We then discuss Mesut Ozil's statements about racism and discrimination and his decision to step away from the German national side. After that we answer listener questions about developing young players, how opt...
Episode 482 - No falling piano
July 20, 2018 04:48 - 51 minutes - 47 MBToday's episode is a call-in show recorded last night and I chat to Arsenal fans about all kinds of things including the future of Aaron Ramsey, Lucas Perez and his role this season, why our transfer business is relatively unexciting, what the board's expectations for Unai Emery are for his first campaign as head coach, the centre of our defence, the HARD WORK, signing a winger, and lots more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Episode 481 - Philippe Senderos
July 18, 2018 05:01 - 52 minutes - 48.3 MBIf you're a long-term reader/listener to Arseblog, you'll know that I always had a real soft spot for Philippe Senderos. His Arsenal career didn't work out as well as he would have liked, but he retains a huge affection for the club, as he outlines in the chat we had last month. We discuss his early years, arriving to Arsenal as an 18 year old, settling in, dealing with injuries, the bright start to his time with the Gunners, winning the FA Cup against Man Utd, the times when things went wron...
Arsecast Extra Episode 239 - 16.07.2018
July 16, 2018 13:11 - 1 hour - 62 MBWhat did we learn from Arsenal's 8-0 win over Boreham Wood FC at the weekend? Not a lot in truth, other than James doesn't know how to pronounce the name of his home town, but there are tougher tests to come in pre-season as the new boss puts his team through its paces. We round up the latest Arsenal news, as well as the World Cup final, before answering questions about how hard the team is working, the hard work, the working hard and so on, Alexandre Lacazette, Olivier Giroud's international...
Episode 480 - Midfield matters
July 13, 2018 05:02 - 59 minutes - 54.9 MBJoining me on the show this week are Tim Stillman and Andrew Allen, and we start with World Cup discussion after England's journey came to an end. How did they, as Englishmen, enjoy the experience. There's a brief preview of the final too, before we move on to chat about all things Arsenal including the two midfield signings we made this week, how Unai Emery might set up his side for the new season, the Aaron Ramsey situation, what the new boss might do with some of the young players, and mor...
Arsecast Extra Episode 238 - 09.07.2018
July 09, 2018 14:34 - 1 hour - 62.8 MBEngland are into the semi-final of the World Cup and James is excited. We chat about their tournament, and assess their chances of going all the way. Then there's Arsenal chat as our signings seem to be almost complete, unless of course we sell somebody which could require further investment. We talk about getting our business done early, and then answer listener questions about social media sleuths, Ainsley Maitland-Niles prospects, which three players we'd sell if we could, which goalkeeper...
Arsecast Extra Episode 237 - 02.07.2018
July 02, 2018 11:12 - 1 hour - 61.5 MBThe World Cup continues with shocks, drama, excitement, penalty shoot-outs and more. We chat about the goings-on, an impressive performance from rumoured target Lucas Torreira and whether that will scupper our chances of getting him, and look at the Arsenal involvement in the tournament so far. We also look at the Aaron Ramsey situation and while hopeful he'll sign a new deal, we're not exactly optimistic (hopefully our pessimism results in a new contract almost immediately). There are more q...
Episode 479 - Car door terror
June 29, 2018 04:38 - 39 minutes - 36.4 MBThere's not a lot of Arsenal news this week, but here's a podcast anyway. I'm joined by Tim Stillman to chat about the World Cup, Brazil's chances of going the distance, his aversion to VAR versus the drama and entertainment it provides, as well as an update from the supporter's club meeting which saw Unai Emery meet fans for the first time. What were his impressions of the new boss? And how Ivan Gazidis is taking ownership of this new project which distancing himself from what came before. T...
Arsecast Extra Episode 236 - 25.06.2018
June 25, 2018 11:40 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBOn today's show more World Cup chat, Mesut Ozil and Alex Iwobi are dropped, Xhaka scores a banger but might end up in trouble with FIFA for his celebration, David Ospina just needs more cuddles than anyone else, while away from Russia there are more links to Ever Banega, as well as a very interesting cover on the latest edition of the Arsenal magazine. Then it's listener questions about which England players we should buy, who will be the first player sold by the new boss, World Cup haircuts ...
Episode 478 - Jack gets Bernd, Iceland at the World Cup
June 22, 2018 04:57 - 1 hour - 56.9 MBOn today's show I chat with James from Gunnerblog about the arrival of new goalkeeper Bernd Leno, the departure of Jack Wilshere, our transfer business in general, and the changes at coaching level – including the retention of Steve Bould as one of Unai Emery's assistants. Then it's World Cup and specifically Iceland's involvement with @Antonstotle. He talks about what it means to see them there, how such a small nation has made such great leaps, and we touch on the campaign so far, especia...
Arsecast Extra Episode 235 - 18.06.2018
June 18, 2018 13:39 - 1 hour - 68.1 MBThe World Cup is underway and that's the main focus of today's podcast, but with a close look at the Arsenal players taking part and how things are going for them. We discuss the use of VAR, and the new deal signed by Granit Xhaka which shows he's likely to be a key part of Unai Emery's midfield next season. Then we answer questions about Mesut Ozil and why there seems to be such debate and discussion about him as a player and his performances, the participation of the U21s in the Checkatrade...
Episode 477 - My name is Lucas
June 15, 2018 04:53 - 58 minutes - 53.2 MBWith the signing of Uruguayan midfielder Lucas Torreira said to be near completion, I'm joined by James Horncastle who gives us some insight into the Sampdoria man. We look at his career progression, what kind of a player he is, how he might fit into the Arsenal set up, his strengths and weaknesses and more, before we chat for a bit about the World Cup which kicked off in Russia last night. Then it's Arsenal history with Andy Kelly, Mark Andrews and Tim Stillman. Their new book 'Royal Arsenal...
Arsecast Extra Episode 234 - 11.06.2018
June 11, 2018 11:09 - 1 hour - 67 MBThis podcast begins with a discussion about sawing off your own arm, which tells you how quiet things are at the moment. Nevertheless, we discuss Tomas Rosicky's testimonial, transfer links to players young and old, changes at academy level, and Sven's scouting, before we answer questions about how much is going on behind the scenes, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, what Unai Emery is doing with his summer, fruit chucking, making a delicious thing extinct and loads more besides. Hosted on Acast. ...
Episode 476 - Setting things off
June 08, 2018 05:18 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MBOn today's show I chat to Paolo Bandini about the signing of 34 year old Stephan Lichtsteiner who joins after seven successful years with Juventus. What kind of a player is he? What kind of an impact will he have on the squad on and off the pitch? Is his age a worry in the fast-paced Premier League? Paolo gives us the lowdown on that, and we also discuss the appointment of Unai Emery, transfers, and the television rights deal which has seen Amazon get some of the games. There's a smattering o...
Arsecast Extra Episode 233 - 04.06.2018
June 04, 2018 11:11 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBIt's been a quiet week but we still have some aural pleasure for you as we – with the help of your questions – chat about the Arsenal legends and their game against Real Madrid, strange shirt names, a truncated transfer window, Alex Iwobi's future under Unai Emery, Joel Campbell, Michael Bolton's hair and its relevance to James, an odd name on the back of a shirt, we try and figure out what Ivan Gazidis's pudding tastes like, and much more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more in...
Episode 475 - Telephone calls (and some Skype calls too)
June 01, 2018 04:45 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBToday's show is a call-in show, recorded last night. I answered calls at random and spoke to Arsenal fans about all kinds of things, including hopes and expectations under Unai Emery, our transfer plans for this summer, the future of Aaron Ramsey, what kind of leeway the new manager will get, social media, the World Cup, the issue of the captaincy, and lots more. Thanks to everyone who called in, and apologies if you tried and I couldn't get to your call. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pri...
Arsecast Extra Episode 232 - 29.05.2018
May 29, 2018 11:49 - 1 hour - 71.4 MBOn this week's show we reflect on the week since the announcement of Unai Emery taking over as head coach, with some thoughts about hopes about what the Spaniard is going to do and how he's going to do it. We discuss the strong links to experienced defenders Sokratis Papastathopoulos and Stephan Lichtsteiner, and what those arrivals might say about our approach and the rest of the transfer business we need to do this summer. We answer questions about the Sven Mislintat impact, the other signi...
Episode 474 - Unai Emery arrives
May 24, 2018 09:56 - 1 hour - 61.2 MBArsenal appointed a new head coach, Unai Emery, on Wednesday. The Spaniard's name was barely mentioned, but he's going to be the man tasked with bringing Premier League competitiveness back to the club, building on what Arsene Wenger left behind and hopefully adding to the trophy cabinet along the way. With me to discuss the last few weeks, the processes, the decision making and impressions of Emery's first press conference is David Ornstein, followed editor of Football Espana, Colin Millar, ...
Arsecast Extra Episode 231 (LIVE!) - 22.05.2018
May 22, 2018 06:00 - 1 hour - 93.7 MBSo this episode was recorded live at Union Chapel last night, and during the first half of the show we discussed lots of things but also the future on the assumption that Mikel Arteta was about to be made manager of the club. At the break we were informed of David Ornstein's Tweet about the change in the situation as we now look set to appoint Unai Emery. You can hear the reaction of the room, the change in direction in the second half as we go down that particular road, there are listener q...
Episode 473 - Mikel Arseteta
May 18, 2018 04:23 - 1 hour - 71 MBOn today's show we have a round-table discussion about the final game of the season and the season as a whole, including Arsene Wenger's departure and where we go from here. Mikel Arteta's name is being strongly linked with the job so we discuss his suitability for the job, the pros and cons of a manager who has never managed, the influence of the new football executive structure at the club and how the IRS have a big responsibility to take us forward, the mix of trepidation, curiousity and ...
Arsecast Extra Episode 230 - 14.05.2018
May 14, 2018 11:21 - 1 hour - 85.2 MBArsene Wenger took charge of his final game as Arsenal manager yesterday, a 1-0 win over Huddersfield which is discussed briefly, but the main chat is about the occasion, and the fact that the manager is no longer going to be in charge. We talk about his legacy, the season in general and where we've ended up (we even leave sentiment out of it for a little while). Then we answer some of the many questions about the pros and cons of Mikel Arteta as the potential replacement, some of the moments...
Episode 472 - Arsene's last hurrah
May 11, 2018 05:20 - 59 minutes - 54.7 MBThis is a bit of a strange one: the last ever Arsecast with Arsene Wenger as manager. He's been a constant throughout the lifetime of this show, so I chat with James from Gunnerblog about that, this long goodbye we've had with him, some typically wonderful press conference stuff from the boss, and what comes next. Then I chat with writer Tom Williams about his excellent new book 'Do you speak football?'. This is a glossary of football words and terminology from around the world. How many d...
Arsecast Extra Episode 229 - 07.05.2018
May 07, 2018 13:19 - 1 hourJames is away this week, so I called over to Tayo Popoola's house to record this week's show. Over pastries and prosecco, we discuss the emotional day yesterday which saw Arsene Wenger take charge of the team for the final time at home. We chat about the day itself, the manager's legacy, what a beautiful occasion it was marked with a 5-0 win and an outpouring of goodwill and sentiment towards the boss. We then answer some listener questions about Wenger, possible replacements, the board and l...
Episode 471 - No fairy tale ending for Arsene
May 04, 2018 16:10 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MBDefeat at the Wanda Metropolitano means there's no fairy tale ending for Arsene Wenger, nor any silverware for Arsenal this season. Diego Costa's goal was enough to see Atletico Madrid through, and in this somewhat hastily arranged podcast I chat to Charles Watts of Football London about the loss, the performance over the two legs, how the Gunners blew a great opportunity in the first leg, what it says about the manager, where it leaves us for the final few games, summer transfers, Koscielny'...
Arsecast Extra Episode 228 - 30.04.2018
April 30, 2018 11:13 - 1 hour - 69.4 MBDefeat to Manchester United but a day from which we can draw some positives, not least the performances of some of the young players sent out at Old Trafford. We chat about the Konstantinos Mavropanos debut, Reiss Nelson and Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Calum Chambers, the overall context of the game and ask questions about the 'Granit Xhaka narrative' peddled by Sky. Then we answer listener questions about Thursday's semi-final second leg in Madrid, what kind of a manager we might appoint with th...
Arsecast Extra Episode 227 - 27.04.2018
April 27, 2018 10:49 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBIt was so close to being a great European night, but a late defensive slip-up allowed 10 man Atletico Madrid to grab an equaliser. James and I chat about the impact that goal might have on the tie, how it has turned what was generally a positive night into a more negative one, while acknowledging there were some positives on the night and that it's far from over ahead of the second leg in Madrid next week. We then answer listener questions about our centre-halves, the need for a new goalkeepe...
Episode 470 - Atletico Madrid, Sanllehi and Enrique
April 25, 2018 05:19 - 33 minutes - 30.2 MBHere's an super extra bonus Arsecast ahead of tomorrow's Europa League semi-final first leg against Atletico Madrid. I chat with Spanish based journalist Dermot Corrigan about what Arsenal can expect from the La Liga side, how they're likely to approach this game, Diego Simeone's tactics for big away fixtures, their dangermen and more, plus some insight into Arsenal's Definitely Not Director of Football, Raul Sanllehi, and his close relationship with former Barcelona boss Luis Enrique who has...
Arsecast Extra Episode 226 - 23.04.2018
April 23, 2018 10:29 - 1 hour - 75.1 MBThe 4-1 win over West Ham was enjoyable, but not the main event as we still come to terms with the news that Arsene Wenger will be leaving the club at the end of the season. We chat about the game, the team selection, the performance, the goals and all that, but this is an episode that deals heavily with the manager. We chat about his very interesting post-game press conference, his remarks about the values of the club, fans, what his future might hold, and then there are questions about pote...
Episode 469 - Arsene calls it quits
April 20, 2018 20:27 - 1 hour - 72.6 MBTwo podcasts in one day, but this is no ordinary day. Earlier, Arsene Wenger announced his intention to leave the club at the end of the season, and it's been an emotional rollercoaster since. First, I talk to James from Gunnerblog about his reaction to it, as well as his thoughts on the strange Ivan Gazidis press conference that took place this evening. Then, in a round table discussion, I chat about the whole situation with Andrew Allen, Goonerholic and The Man from East Lower - from the an...
Episode 468 - Tickets, Europe, Stuff and Things
April 20, 2018 05:16 - 1 hour - 59.2 MBAfter a slow Arsenal news week, this episode begins with Daniel Storey of Football 365, and we look back on the Premier League season as a whole after Man City have been crowned champions. We chat about the quality in the league this season, safe-standing, as well as Arsene Wenger, his future and how the Europa League looms over what remains of this campaign. Then Tim Stillman joins me to discuss the manager's comments about attendances which he says are no big concern (Arsene, not Tim), the ...
Arsecast Extra Episode 225 - 16.04.2018
April 16, 2018 10:23 - 1 hour - 66.4 MBOn this week's show we look back at the 2-1 defeat to Newcastle which simply adds to our abysmal away record, chat about our defending, or lack of it, more mistakes by Shkodran Mustafi who is enduring a terrible time at the moment, the deployment of Pierre-Emerick Aubamayang as a winger, and how the loss was not any kind of a surprise at all. We then answer questions about Rafa Benitez as a possible Wenger replacement, the importance of the Europa League, which players have made progress this...
Episode 467 - The Nenny
April 13, 2018 09:32 - 41 minutes - 38.5 MBOn this week's show I chat to ESPN's Arsenal correspondent Mattias Karen about Arsenal's 2-2 draw against CSKA Moscow which helped ensure qualification for the semi-finals of the Europa League. We chat about the Gunners making life difficult for themselves, but also an ability to respond to those situations. As Mohamed Elneny shines, Jack Wilshere struggles; Danny Welbeck has found some form, and we discuss the balancing act Arsene Wenger has now that Europe has become this season's number on...
Arsecast Extra Episode 224 - 09.04.2018
April 09, 2018 10:14 - 1 hour - 63.8 MBIt's another goodly morning as we discuss the 3-2 win over Southampton yesterday, the contributions of both Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi who had very positive days, the 'defending' of Shkodran Mustafi after another terrible error, Jack Wilshere's cameo, and the red card for Mohamed Elneny. We then answer listener questions about Welbeck's future at the club, the most frustrating Arsenal sendings off of all time – which takes us down a nostalgic road for a bit, our turnaround in form, which TV...
Arsecast Extra Episode 223 - 06.04.2018
April 06, 2018 12:20 - 1 hour - 59.8 MBOn this extra Arsecast Extra we discuss the very enjoyable 4-1 win over CSKA Moscow in the Europa League, in particular the incredible goal scored by Aaron Ramsey. It wasn't improvisation, it was engineering, and we chat about that, his combinations with Mesut Ozil, a much for Arsenal-esque attacking performance the position it puts us in ahead of the second leg. Then we answer questions about Granit Xhaka, Ramsey's contract and the hopes of him signing a new one, Cech v Ospina in the Europa ...
Arsecast Extra Episode 222 - 02.04.2018
April 02, 2018 11:05 - 1 hour - 64.7 MBFootball is back and we enjoy beating Stoke if not everything that came before. We chat about the performance, the result, why criticism of Aubameyang for giving the penalty to Lacazette is stupid and, of course, we laugh at Stoke. Then we answer listener questions about the two forwards playing in the team at the same time, the importance of Aaron Ramsey and his contract situation, the kind of football Arsene Wenger is serving up, Ozil and Bellerin having words on the pitch, a potential goal...
Episode 466 - The Never Ending Story
March 30, 2018 05:56 - 49 minutes - 45.4 MBOn this week's show I chat to Rory Smith of the New York Times about Jack Wilshere, his England situation, and how his contract impasse at Arsenal could end up costing the club in the long run. We also discuss the Europa League, whether Arsene Wenger's future is dependent on it, the power shift going on behind the scenes with Ivan Gazidis, Sven Mislintat and Raul Sanllehi, and more. There's some of the usual waffle, a bit of Holy God FM, and some deep thoughts about the moon. Sort of. Hoste...
Arsecast Extra Episode 221 - 26.03.2018
March 26, 2018 11:16 - 1 hour - 61.4 MBIt's the Interlull so we muddle through with a podcast touching on some of the international action, Arsene Wenger and his future tied to how far we go in the Europa League, Thomas Tuchel, Jack Wilshere's situation as injury strikes again, and then questions about the World Cup, the development of young players with the loan system and the current football culture, playing two strikers, Cesc Fabregas and more, as well as exciting news about the Gunnerblog v Arseblog FIFA 18 showdown. Hosted...
Episode 465 - The phone-y one
March 23, 2018 06:41 - 1 hour - 57 MBThere wasn't a lot going on this week because of the Interlull, leaving us short of Arsenal stuff to talk about, so last night I did a phone-in show, taking calls and chatting to listeners about various things, including the Jack Wilshere situation, Arsene Wenger and his future, the ownership – including a story about Alisher Usmanov's gates, getting a new goalkeeper for next season, our Europa League chances, and lots more. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Arsecast Extra Episode 220 - 19.03.2018
March 19, 2018 12:38 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBThere's not a lot going on in the Arsenal world right now, but that's never stopped us producing a podcast before. There's football chatter, interspersed with in-depth movie reviews, kebab talk, footballers birthdays, Mourinho's meltdown, and the Europa League draw, before we answer listener questions about Stoke getting relegated, new careers, how to cope with the Interlull, clocks, young players, a FIFA pledge, the one thing we'd rid football of if given the chance, and lots more. Hosted ...
Arsecast Extra Episode 219 - 16.03.2018
March 16, 2018 12:10 - 1 hour - 66.6 MBArsenal are through to the quarter-finals of the Europa League after a 5-1 aggregate win, and a 3-1 victory in the second leg. We discuss the convincing qualification in the context of our recent form, as well as the absurd furore surrounding Danny Welbeck and the penalty incident which has sparked some ridiculous coverage in the press. We chat about diving in general, the mental gymnastics of being a fan on either side of that debate, and enjoy what has been a good week for the club. There's...
Arsecast Extra Episode 218 - 12.03.2018
March 12, 2018 12:37 - 1 hour - 64.4 MBTwo wins in a week, Mr Arse Ambassador, with these results you are really spoiling us. James and I get tucked into the Watford win, the deliciousness of Petr Cech's penalty save from Troy Deeney, and why the striker deserved every bit of stick he got. We look at the performances of Elneny and Xhaka, the combination between Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan, Ainsley Maitland-Niles at right back, before looking ahead to Milan on Thursday. We then answer listener questions about Ivan and Raul at the fan...
Episode 464 - Sometimes maybe good
March 09, 2018 07:08 - 51 minutes - 47.2 MBOn this week's show we enjoy a long overdue win and with me to discuss the 2-0 Europa League triumph over AC Milan is Paolo Bandini. We chat about a much improved Arsenal performance, perhaps predicated on the fact Europe is the be all and end all, Milan's setup and approach suiting us, a solid midfield and what this could do for us going forward and into the next leg. Then I'm joined by Kevin Witcher, editor of The Gooner fanzine, to talk about fanzine culture, the history of the publication...
Arsecast Extra Episode 217 - 05.03.2018
March 05, 2018 12:48 - 1 hour - 79.5 MBOn this week's show we consider the 2-1 away defeat to Brighton, the lack of performance from the players and the manager's inability to turn things around quickly enough. All the while there's silence from the board who have also gone into hiding again, and why the people with responsibility need to act. We then answer listener questions about giving more playing time to young players in the Premier League, what hope do Arsenal have when they face Milan on Thursday, Laurent Koscielny, we pre...
Episode 463 - Itchy and Scratchy
March 02, 2018 12:11 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBOn this week's show I chat with a very cold Andrew Allen immediately after the 3-0 defeat to Man City on Thursday night and discuss what was a strange night at the Emirates, and another disappointing result. Then I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to chat about the two games against Man City, the situation with the players and the manager and how there appears to be resignation on both sides, the empty seats, the role of the board in everything that's going on, and potential candidates to replace...

Arsecast Extra Episode 216 - 26.02.2018
February 26, 2018 12:31 - 1 hour - 75.6 MBIn this week's show we look back on a disappointing day at Wembley which saw Arsenal lose the Carabao Cup final 3-0 to Man City. We discuss the performance, individual and collective mistakes, why we couldn't get up for a final, and the big focus of this podcast is the manager. How much of what's happening is because of Arsene Wenger's future? How inevitable is change and is it possible that it could come sooner rather than later? What role do the board have in the current situation? All this...
Arsecast Extra Episode 215 - 23.02.2018
February 23, 2018 11:47 - 1 hour - 61.8 MBIn this extra Arsecast Extra we look back at the 2-1 Europa League defeat to Östersunds FK, a lacklustre performance from an unprepared side, but one which also secured qualification to the Round of 16. We chat about the game, Arsene Wenger's role in getting his team up for it, and how we have to treat this competition more seriously from now on. Then we answer questions from listeners about the Carabao Cup final on Sunday, which formation we might use, a choice between trophies and a new man...
