Arsecast Extra Episode 694 - 11.05.2026

In this episode we look back at Sunday's dramatic 1-0 win away at West Ham. We chat about the bright start Arsenal made with numerous chances in the opening 20 minutes before momentum was halted by Ben White's injury and Mikel Arteta's decision to use Declan Rice at right-back – a decision which was hard to understand. We also discuss second half subs as he endeavoured to change things around, and the three key incidents in the final stages: the Mateus Fernandes chance, Leandro Trossard's goal, and the 'goal' West Ham scored which was ruled out for two obvious fouls on David Raya. There was a lot to go through for Arsenal fans at the time, and since with some frankly dishonest commentary and punditry, but in the end we took three vital points. We also answer listener questions about what we do at right-back if White's injury is bad, the collective effort being more important than any one individual, Zubimendi's reaction to being a sub who was subbed, and lots more.
