Arsecast Extra Episode 680 - 09.02.2026
Feb 901:32:39Tap to summarizeIn this episode we look back at the 3-0 win over Sunderland on Saturday afternoon. There's discussion of a tricky enough first half and the visitors' approach to the game, before Martin Zubimendi cracked the game open with his 6th goal of the season. The Gunners had chances to score more, and we then talk about the impact of Mikel Arteta's substitutions after Viktor Gyokeres came off the bench to score twice and Gabriel Martinelli provided an assist for one of them. We also touch on the influence of Leandro Trossard and the midfield pairing of Declan Rice and Zubimendi, before we answer questions about William Saliba, shirt pulling, Martinelli's performance levels this season, the big game at Anfield between Liverpool and Man City, and loads 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 846 - Microscope
Sep 25Tap to summarizeIn this episode I'm joined by Kaya Kaynak of Tifo (The Athletic) to look back on Wednesday night's relatively uneventful EFL Cup win over Port Vale. We chat about the goals, including a first one for the club by Eberechi Eze, and the overall performance – but try to put it into context in various ways. We then chat about Max Dowman; Leandro Trossard as a 'super sub'; Viktor Gyokeres and his start to life at Arsenal; whether some of the discourse around the team in the early part of the season is entirely fair; a new contract for William Saliba and what that says about his belief in the club's ability to compete; and lots more besides.

Episode 839 - "It's only pre-season"
Aug 7, 202501:03:33Tap to summarizeIn this episode I'm joined by Tom Canton from The Gooner Talk to discuss Arsenal's defeat to Villarreal on Wednesday evening. We talk about finding the balance between the fact 'It's only pre-season' and some worrying aspects of the Gunners' performance – including defensive instability, and how we need to change aspects of the way we play with Viktor Gyokeres up front. There's also discussion of midfield, the need for more creativity, some positives with the return of Gabriel and Jurrien Timber, and Max Dowman continuing to impress. Should he be in the squad for Old Trafford? All that, some Noni Madueke, and lots more.Follow Tom on BlueSky - https://bsky.app/profile/tomcanton.bsky.social – and visit The Gooner Talk here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGoonerTalkTVGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Episode 838 - Left Alone
Aug 1, 202501:04:38Tap to summarizeIn this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to discuss Arsenal's final pre-season tour game in Hong Kong and some of the conversations around it. Is it worrying that too much felt familiar, or are there mitigating circumstances? We chat about the game itself, the goal we conceded, and our lack of output, before the conversation moves to the left-hand side and what we need to do there. Is it all about making a big signing? Can we get more out of the players we have, perhaps in conjunction with new players like Viktor Gyokeres and Noni Madueke? We also discuss Eberechi Eze as the missing piece of the puzzle, defensive departures, 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.
