Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode we chat about the 2-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday, starting with Arsenal falling behind early on, but reacting really well and playing the kind of football that really connects with fans. We discuss the impact of the front four, but also the way the two full backs add a lot to our forward play, even if that does leave us a bit more open than we're used to. We analyse the goals from Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard, David Raya's influence on the team, the way second half changes impacted our techincal level, as well as incidents involving Declan Rice and Morgan Rogers and Gabriel and Emi Martinez's head, before we end part one with a look at how our opening three games have gone so far. In part two we answer listener questions about potential rotation for the game against Napoli in midweek, whether Mikel Merino might be a better deputy for Kai Havertz and where that leaves Viktor Gyokeres, pace in the team, the kind of attackers we should be targetting in future transfer windows, and lots more besides.

Arsecast Extra Episode 711 - 07.09.2026

In this episode I'm joined by Charles Watts to discuss the end of the transfer window after it closed without Arsenal adding another attacker to the squad, despite high profile pursuits and the departure of players who contributed last season. How does that stack up in terms of how competitive the team will be this season, and could the club have done things differently when it came to players like Morgan Rogers, Vinicius Junior and Julian Alvarez. We also chat about the options for the left-hand side now, and what looks like a big opportunity for Eberechi Eze, as well Andrea Berta's work during this window, what some of our Premier League rivals have done, and lots more.

Episode 891 - Window closed

In this episode we chat about the 1-0 win over Aston Villa on Monday night. We discuss the timing of our visit there, the influence of Riccardo Calafiori, Bukayo Saka's second goal in as many games, a difficult night for Christos Tzolis, and an encouraging one for second half substitute Bruno Guimaraes. We then turn to transfer deadline day and what kind of business we expect Arsenal to do before 11pm this evening. We know there will be departures, but can we bring in another attacker before the deadline. There's also analysis of the window as a whole and the role of Andrea Berta – should Arsenal be in a position this late in the window to be exploring emergency/desperate options because we've left ourselves short of numbers? We also have listener questions about Viktor Gyokeres, Martinelli moments and lots more.

Arsenal Women Arsecast Episode 172: Arsenal's pre-season reviewed

In this episode I'm joined by Harry Symeou of the Chronicles of a Gooner podcast to chat about Arsenal's start to the season, and ways in which Mikel Arteta will keep his team motivated throughout the season as we look to defend/attack our Premier League title. Inevitably, the discussion moves to the transfer window and whether or not Arsenal will do anything before the close of the window. There's a lot of chat about Julian Alvarez, but how realistic is any potential deal? It's complicated for myriad reasons, but we delve into that, the potential departure of Gabriel Martinelli as well as other players who are surplus to requirements, and lots more.

Episode 890 - The last few days of the window

In this episode we chat about Friday evening's Premier League opener, the 3-0 win over Coventry City. We begin with discussion of the team, with starts for Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka, then the goals from Kai Havertz, Saka and Martin Odegaard, and the differing but important roles of the full-backs in two of them. We also discuss on-pitch relationships, the right-side triangle coming back to life, an impressive league debut for Christos Tzolis, Myles Lewis-Skelly impressing in midfield again, and Mikel Arteta's decisions around the second half substitutions. In part two, we answer listener questions about Arsenal's interest in Julian Alvarez and whether the player's sights being set on Barcelona should be an issue, more transfer stuff about potential attacking additions, the freezing out of Gabriel Martinelli, the futures of Gabriel Jesus, Fabio Vieira, Reiss Nelson and lots more,

We hear from Amy Lawrence, Alfie Steiner, Laura Kirk-Francis, Andrew Allen and Dara O'Briain individually about how they feel going into the new season as champions, and what that changes based on previous campaigns. We also discuss things they're excited about, things they might be worried about, players they're most looking forward to watching, what remains of the transfer window and lots more besides. There's some other waffle, a look ahead to extra content over on Patreon, and a bit of Holy God FM too.

Episode 889 - A new season ...

In this episode we chat about Sunday's 3-0 win over Man City in the Community Shield. We start with the brilliant early goal we scored through Riccardo Calafiori, and the superb vision of Myles Lewis-Skelly, before some focus on Martin Odegaard and Christos Tzolis as two players who really caught the eye. We also discuss David Raya, promising signs from Arsenal's performance in terms of our attacking play, and the competitive debut for Bruno Guimaraes, before attention turns to players who weren't there and what we might read into the absence of Gabriel Martinelli in particular. In part two we answer questions about Arsenal's transfer business, amid confusion around aspects of the finances. If we could buy Vinicius Junior and pay his wages, why is it being reported we need to sell, and is it coincidence that it's players like Lewis-Skelly, Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri most strongly linked with moves away? Other questions touch on a new defender, season motivations for Odegaard and Bukayo Saka, and lots more besides.

Arsecast Extra Episode 708 - 17.08.2026

In this episode I'm joined by Luke Kempner from 'The thing about Arsenal' podcast to chat about the 1-1 draw with Como on Wednesday evening, and some of the individual performances from young players like Marli Salmon and Max Dowman, including some comments from Cesc Fabregas about their emergence. We also chat about Myles Lewis-Skelly getting on the scoresheet, his celebration, and Mikel Arteta's post-game comments about him after all the speculation regarding his future this week. It's clear something is going on, but it's hard to know exactly what, and we also wonder what it might mean for Ethan Nwaneri ahead of the new season. Arteta talks transfers, Gabriel Martinelli has been linked with a move to Galatasaray, there's info on the Arseblog Fantasy Football League 2026, and lots more besides. 

Here's the Lewis Ambrose article mentioned in the conversation with Luke: https://likeanewsletter.substack.com/p/gabriel-martinelli-arsenal-and-the

Episode 888 - So many questions ...

In this episode we chat about the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle, after his unveiling at the stadium on Sunday. We chat about what he can bring to the team, and how we might have to let go of the past a bit, before turning our attention to the Emirates Cup defeat to Borussia Dortmund. There's some focus on new signing Christos Tzolis, and pre-season friendly context applied to the defeat, as well as the big question about what we're going to do in the market in the absence of William Saliba and Jurrien Timber – with a big 'DO NO WANT' around one particular player linked. In part 2 we answer listener questions about what we do after the failed pursuit of Vinicius Junior and a bit of discussion around potential targets for the left side including Nico Williams, Mikel Arteta's contract, young players impressing in pre-season, Kai Havertz and his longer-term future, Martin Zubimendi and lots more.

Arsecast Extra Episode 707 - 10.08.2026

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to discuss Arsenal's 2-0 defeat to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg. We chat about team selection, early problems, Martin Odegaard's miss coming just before their opening goal, uncharacteristic defensive instability, gifting them the goal which sealed the tie, and reflecting on the two legs overall and how/why the Gunners fell short in such disappointing/frustrating fashion. We also discuss the captain and his 'struggles' of late, the team heading off on a Dubai break, media coverage of Myles Lewis-Skelly in the wake of his goal against Man City, the sanitisation of the game with regards celebrations, and lots more.
