In this episode we look back on the 1-0 win Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon. An Eberechi Eze goal against his former club was enough for three points, on another day when Arsenal kept a clean sheet and didn't allow a shot on target [the stats are lying to you!]. We discuss the performances of both sides in a game that wasn't a classic but was exactly the kind you need to win if you want to become champions. There's discussion of open play goals versus reliance on set-pieces, and listener questions about Ethan Nwaneri, Viktor Gyokeres, how much Arteta will rotate for the EFL Cup game on Wednesday, the importance of Gabriel and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Episode 850 - The memes lied to us
In this episode I'm joined Phil Costa to talk about Arsenal's 4-0 win over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. We discuss the way the game was presented beforehand versus how it actually played out, what Diego Simeone's team selection said about how he viewed the Gunners' threat, and a couple of sliding doors moments before the goals arrived in the second half. We talk about set-piece prowess again, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Gabriel Martinelli's brilliant combination for the second goal, Viktor Gyokeres ending his dry spell in front of goal with two close range strikes, what this result and performance says about this Arsenal team, our incredible defensive record in the Champions League group stages over the last three seasons, and lots more.Follow Phil on BlueSky - https://bsky.app/profile/philcosta.bsky.socialGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Arsecast Extra Episode 663 - 20.10.2025
In this episode we look back on the 1-0 win over Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday evening. It wasn't a classic but we got the job done thanks to a Leandro Trossard goal in the second half. We discuss the way the game panned out, a slow start turning into Arsenal dominance more or less, another set-piece goal, the penalty incident, and a brilliant performance from Bukayo Saka. In part two we answer questions about scoring from corners and how much they've played a part so far this season, the possible influence of Gabriel Heinze on our defence, the title race thus far and which of Liverpool or Man City poses the most threat, Eberechi Eze and Viktor Gyokeres still coming to terms with their new surroundings, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Episode 849 - Conor McNamara
In this episode I'm joined BBC commentator Conor McNamara. We chat about how got into the world of commentary as a teenager, his first game being one of the most profile fixtures in the football calendar, and how work on radio and TV in Ireland led him to join the BBC in 2002. We discuss the differences between commentating on games on both those mediums, what a typical match day is like for him in terms of preparation, post-game interviews with managers, awkward moments, how things like VAR and the changing media landscape have impacted his work, advice for any aspiring commentators, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Arsenal Women Arsecast 139: Always look on the Brighton side
In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie pick over the bones of Sunday's 1-0 win over Brighton and consider whether this is the first building block of repaired confidence or another slightly underwhelming performance. There is analysis of van Domselaar's POTM performance, adjustments Slegers made for a team low on confidence and a look at how the subs changed the game in the second half and whether some of those players deserve an expanded role. Then in the second half, Tim and Jamie answer your questions submitted on BlueSky.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog's award winning coverage of Arsenal Women by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
