On this week's show we discuss the 2-0 defeat to Sp*rs, the team selection, the performance (or lack of it), and try and make some sense of what's going on. We'll be up front with you, we don't come to any kind of EUREKA moment conclusion, but there's a lot going on with manager, players and board. Then we answer questions about Olivier Giroud, other managers, transfer activity, scouting, Arsenal origins and more. It's not the cheeriest episode of all time, but we can only work with what we're given.
On this week’s show James joins us from sunny Mallorca where he’s eating all the Jamon Ruffles to discuss the 2-1 win over Middlesbrough on Monday night, the decision to go with a back three for the first time in 20 years, and how we still kind of made hard work of it. We ask whether the back three is going to be a long-term thing, especially with an FA Cup semi-final on Sunday, before answering listener’s questions about Sead Kolasinac, the players post-game reaction and messages to the fans, who might benefit most from the new system, and why we need to get James to see the Supervet for the sake of all that’s good about the human race. All that and more.
On this week's show discuss the FA Cup quarter-final win over Lincoln City, the sad case of Lucas Perez, terrible commentary and punditry, and who we might draw in the cup semi-finals. We then answer listener questions about Mesut Ozil's role in the team and the midfield set-up, protests and planes, Aaron Ramsey belting in a goal from close range, and lots more before we finish with a chat about the most important issue of all – the best bar snacks.
On this week's show we discuss the storming 2-0 win over Sutton United in the FA Cup, the so-called magic of the cup itself and how Arsenal, at least, managed to provide some with a great gesture. It's 100 goals for Theo Walcott, Lucas Perez keeps banging on Arsene Wenger's door, and we answer questions about the current situation involving the manager, Rob Holding's impressive display, a boardroom role for Edu, the sinister powers of Alexis Sanchez and lots more.

Time now for this week's Arsecast and given the week that's in it, there was really only one topic of discussion: the Bayern result and what it means for Arsene Wenger. To get some differing perspectives on it, I'm joined by James from Gunnerblog, Daniel Storey from Football 365, chief football writer for the Independent Miguel Delaney, and the Man from East Lower. We talk about the manager, his future, the structures of the football club, the board, and pretty much every aspect of the situation.
I also chat with Kurtis Powers from Arsenal NYC about a cool event involving Liam Brady, and as you might expect there's not a lot of the usual waffle under the circumstances.

On this week's show we take a look back at the difficult 2-0 win over Hull, the goals from Alexis, the handballs, the performance, Theo Walcott's aggression and the rest of the weekend's Premier League action in the context of that result. With Bayern Munich in midweek there are questions about Mesut Ozil and the possible team selection for this one, talk of succession plans, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's role in midfield, Hector Bellerin, and we end the show by wondering what to feed ducks and how to make pigeons explode.

On this week's show we look back at the 3-1 defeat to Chelsea which has ended our title chances for another year. We dissect the performance, the consequences, what it means for this season, and what the future holds. We discuss the assault on Hector Bellerin for the opening goal and the strange media coverage of it, before taking questions on what lies ahead for Arsenal and Arsene Wenger; is the club ready to make a change; what would constitute a successful season at this point; the Ox's accidental Twitter like and lots more.

To discuss the last week and the game against Chelsea this weekend, I'm joined by Philippe Auclair. We talk Watford and the disappointing defeat, the lack of midfield options going into the crunch clash at Stamford Bridge, whether or not Aaron Ramsey fits into the team, and then the future of the club and the manager based on a couple of hypothetical scenarios as to where we might finish in the league this season. It's good chat, minimal waffle, and you should listen.

Get out while you can, Joel
Just found this, from an old Arsecast sometime in the last couple of years.
On this week's show we go double-barrelled as we look at the 5-0 win over Southampton in the FA Cup, goals from Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott, the midfield-midfield and how well they played, and what was a thoroughly enjoyable game to witness. We then answer listener questions about our myriad striking options, which of the youngsters-youngsters is most likely to make the grade, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's future and lots more, as well as interruptions from delivery men, drills and loan-shark moles. It's all in there today!

Right, time now for this week's Arsecast and to discuss the midweek 3-3 draw with Bournemouth I'm joined by Adrian Clarke – host of The Breakdown on arsenal.com. We discuss the performance, two games in 48 hours, the contribution and celebration of Olivier Giroud, a grumpy Alexis Sanchez and much more. After that I chat to Colm McMullan, creator of the StatsZone app which you can get for iOS and Android. We talk about making the app, the increased availability of stats and data in football, how it helps round out your view of a game or a performance and what we can learn from using it. There's a minimal amount of the usual waffle, but I hope you enjoy the show anyway.

On the very first Arsecast Extra at 2017 we look back at that delicious Olivier Giroud goal against Crystal Palace and urge people to enjoy for what it is, rather than try and compare/contrast to other things for no good reason. We chat about Giroud's season thus far, the 2-0 win, another clean sheet, and the performances of Alex Iwobi and Granit Xhaka. We then answer listener questions about rotation for Bournemouth, recreating great goals, Lucas Perez, violence in goal celebrations, insect goals, and Andrew reveals the superpower he'd most want to have.

On this week's show I'm joined by Tim Stillman to discuss the last week which has left us all so full of optimism and cheers about the team's capabilities and fortunes.

Per Mertesacker sings his own version of Jona Lewie's 'Stop the Cavalry'. Well, not really Per Mertesacker - it's Arseblog & Gunnerblog.

We have an Interlull round-up of the Arsenal players away with their countries, and then there are listener questions about the youth set-up, what approach we should take when we face Man Utd next weekend, the most outrageous moments of skill from Arsenal players, wasps, what we think about and lots more.
After some waffle 'inspired' by this week, I sit down to chat with Stephen Bradley, a former footballer and currently Arsenal's chief scout in Ireland. He was a huge prospect when he arrived at the club as a 15 year old, but for various reasons he never made the jump to the first team. We discuss that, a football career that ended at 27, his move into coaching and managing, another Irish lad who almost made it at Arsenal, what he looks for in young players, if there are any young Irish prospects we should be keeping an eye on and lots more.

In this week's episode we discuss the 1-1 draw in the North London derby with Sp*rs. We chat about what was a disappointing performance, our lack of conviction from an attacking point of view, defensive frailties, whether it was a fair result or not, some individual performances that caught the eye for various reasons, and a Premier League round-up. We then answer listener questions about diving, how we might freshen things up in the wide positions, refereeing, the upcoming game against Man United, home form v away, and James reveals exactly why he posted such an interesting picture on Instagram on Saturday night. All that and much more.

In this week's spooky Halloween episode we look back at how we sucked the blood out of Sunderland at the weekend; two goals each for Alexis Stabchez and Olivier Grrrrrrroud; a great reaction to being pulled back by their penalty; all the weekend's action in the Premier League; and a look ahead to Champions League action against Bloodogrets. We then answer listener questions about Jack Wilshcare, Steve Boooooooould, which left back deserves the nod against the evil of Tottenham, Arsenal nightmares, and there's stuff about ghosts, zombies, and killer clowns.

In this week's show we look back at the somewhat disappointing 0-0 draw against Boro, and discuss how Arsenal will have to find a solution when teams play like that. We also chat about riding our luck a bit defensively, what Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla might have been able to contribute if they were fit, and we also have a little bit of a laugh at Mourinho just because it would have been rude not to. We then answer listener questions about the AGM, Alex Iwobi, the EFL Cup game against Reading, and Arsene Wenger as an MMA fighter. You can find the Snapchat face-swaps on arseblog.com

This week's Arsecast is kind of a landmark one. Episode 400 comes almost 10 years to the day since the very first Arsecast, so there's a bit of a look back with some moments from the last 10 years, a bit of reflection on how much has happened since then, and to talk about the football I welcome back to the very first Arsecast guest, Goodplaya, for a bit of a chat about all that. This Arsecast is absolutely full to the brim with waffle, usual and unusual. There's also a nice little competition in there for you too, and one day fantasy football with FanDuel.

In this week's Arsecast I find it difficult not to laugh at Diego Costa, because who doesn't want to laugh at Diego Costa? I'm also joined by Rory Smith to discuss this latest iteration of Theo Walcott and how, perhaps, some clarity as to where he plays is helping him perform. We also discuss the fluid front four, and Arsene Wenger as he comes up on 20 years as manager of Arsenal. We touch on his legacy at the club and in English football, and there's all the usual waffle too - as well as 1-day Fantasy Football with FanDuel.

We also chat about his character, on and off the field, and how as football fans we have to shift our goalposts from time to time. We then answer some questions about Jamie Vardy, and about goalkeepers, before deciding that we'd pay a lot of money to keep eating a particular foodstuff. It's all in there today!

On this week's Arsecast I am beset by audio woes as the installation of new equipment reminds me to just leave stuff alone. Eventually I manage to talk to The Man from East Lower, and at some point we discuss football, the manager, what's left of this season and more. After that, I chat with Ted Knutson, founder of Stats Bomb, about the ever-increasing use of stats and data in football, from analysts to specific departments in clubs, and the growing influence it's having on the game itself.
On this week's show we take a look back at the 3-3 draw with West Ham, and discuss why it was we let such a good situation slip.

Right then, time for this week's Arsecast, and it's Danny heavy episode. After analysing some of Danny Mills' punditry, I'm joined by Danny Karbassiyoon, a man whose only Arsenal goal came when he left Mills in his wake at Man City in a Carling Cup game. We chat about his new book 'The Arsenal Yankee', his time at Arsenal and how his career was cut short by injury. We also discuss his move into scouting, how that changes your view of the game, finding talents like Joel Campbell and Gedion Zelalem, how you can be a top youth player and find the professional game more of a struggle, and lots more.

On this week's show we look back at the rather nice 4-0 win over Watford, the contributions of Alexis and Alex Iwobi, the new midfield partnership of Coquelin and Elneny, and whether this was a performance enabled by the 'pressure being off'. We also discuss James' YouTube video in which he looks out of his mind as well as the young scamps giving him the finger in the background, before we answer listener's questions about doping in football, whether injured players should come back into the team when fit again, showboating, Ozil getting kicked up in the air, and lots more.

On this week's Interlull edition of the show we decide that James ought to become a ship's captain so his friends marriages can become more convenient for him, and consider the possibility that spam email could be something it's not. We look at the English Arsenal players and their Euro 2016 chances, and round-up the other international action. Then we answer listener questions about Mesut Ozil who is a fish, the timing of this Interlull, Arsene Wenger, Lukaku, Xhaka, Aubameyang, and consider if we can sell a large inflatable object to Barcelona for £15m, amongst other things.
On this week's show we look at the 2-0 win over Everton, impressive goals from Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi, and the impact of the latter and the trust shown in him by the manager.

After that we answer listeners questions about banners, Arsene Wenger's comments about the fans, how to improve up front and if Zlatan Ibrahmovic is the man for the job, why young defenders rarely make it through the academy, and lots more.
On the show this week I look back at the midweek trip to Barcelona, with some location recordings, vox-pops and more from the European trip I got back from last night at 1am. Please excuse my voice, or lack of it, it's been a long couple of days, and a man coughed on me and gave me the plague. I'm also joined by Roger Bennett, one half of the excellent Men in Blazers to chat about that and, as he's an Everton fan, to look ahead to tomorrow's game. I get his thoughts on that, Everton, Arsenal and lots more. There's some of the usual waffle, but tiredness means not too much.
This week's episode was recorded the evening of the 2-1 defeat to Watford in the FA Cup. London had cider, Dublin had wine, and we tried to make some sense of the performance, the result and what it means for the season in general. We discuss the manager, his performance and his position, and basically become ever more exasperated and disheartened at what's gone on and how likely, or unlikely, things are to change – on and off the pitch.
On the show this week I look at how Arsenal fans online behave in the face of intense provocation, before I chat with Ben from REDaction about the ticket opt-out/boycott they were part of ahead of Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final against Watford. Then, there's some football chat with Julian H from Gingers4Limpar, a chance to win a t-shirt and a print from Art of Football, and all the usual waffle.
After a week of anger, frustration and dismay, we try and cut through that to make some sense of it all. I'm joined by Tayo Popoola and Tim Stillman to talk about the Swansea game, the performance, and why we couldn't raise ourselves properly after the United loss. We analyse the way we play, discuss Alexis Sanchez's comments and form, Joel Campbell, empty seats and, of course, Arsene Wenger. There's some of the usual waffle in there too but not as much as normal, which may or may not be a bad thing.
In this week's rather grim show, we look back at the defeat at Old Trafford yesterday and talk about what it means for our title challenge, for the players, the manager and the club. What should happen if Arsenal don't win the league this season? More important, what will happen, bearing in mind the board and the owner that make those decisions. We chat about Theo Walcott, possible permutations for the Swansea game on Wednesday, and lighten the mood by chatting about someone being carved in two by a primitive weapon. Fun and games.
On this week's show I'm joined by Iain Macintosh to briefly discuss the midweek game against Barcelona. Moving on swiftly we chat about gamesmanship, Danny Welbeck, the upcoming game against Man Utd on Sunday, FA Cup replays and more. There's also a tribute to Robert Pires, who retired yesterday, some finance, vintage news, and all the usual waffle. Today's show is sponsored by cornerstone.co.uk/arseblog
In this week's episode we begin with some chicken related lunacy, followed by a look back at the 0-0 draw with Hull in the FA Cup. The second half of the show is more or less dominated by tomorrow night's Champions League clash with Barcelona, discussing team selection, tactics, the scary trio they have up front, before we head down to the Hammock District to close out the show.
On this week's Arsecast we look back a bit on that Danny Welbeck goal with commentary from all over the world, before I'm joined by Jeremy Wilson to discuss the significance of the Arsenal win and what it means in the title race.

We hear from the Angriest Man on Twitter, there's a look ahead to the FA Cup game against Hull, and all the usual waffle.
To look ahead to this weekend's clash with Leicester City I'm joined by former Gunner Adrian Clarke. I ask him how these Leicester players will be feeling, sitting top of the table; what Arsene Wenger's approach to the game will be to try and win but not fall into their counter-attacking trap; as well as what the manager will do in midfield and centre-half where he has selection decisions to make. I discuss Arsenal's summer trip to the USA, and there's all the usual space-based waffle in there too.
We recorded this week's show immediately after the 2-0 win over Bournemouth, so we discuss that, the goals from Ozil and Oxlade-Chamberlain, Flamini's ridiculous challenge, and the ticket price stories at Arsenal and Liverpool this week. Then we answer listener questions about Gabriel and Per Mertesacker, Petr Cech's continuing influence, which players would be best with their wrong foot, and we get a bit sad over the latest injury to Tomas Rosicky.
On this week's show I'm joined by Tim Stillman to talk about the 0-0 with Southampton, and the faltering title challenge.

On this week's show James, who thankfully was not eaten by a bear, and I, look back on the 2-1 FA Cup win over Burnley, returns for Francis Coquelin and Alexis Sanchez, and a debut from new boy Mohamed Elneny. We also discuss Alex Iwobi's shins, our favourite John Terry moments, transfer deadline day and what might happen, and there are some spoilers for Oscar nominated movie The Revenant – bringing us back around to the bear-theme that permeates this show. Also, James tries not to eat a baby by mistaking it for delicious baked goods.
Time now for this week's Arsecast and today's show is a round table discussion with Goonerholic, The Man from East Lower, and Andrew Allen, taking stock of where we are right now and what lies ahead for the rest of the season.

On this week's show we discuss the disappointing, frustrating 1-0 defeat to Chelsea. On the agenda, the red card issued to Per Mertesacker; could we have done more to prevent that situation developing; the decision to take off Olivier Giroud; and what it all means for our title hopes. As well as that we answer listener questions about Theo Walcott and the Captain's Armband (probably the title of his new book), Mohamed Elneny and why we haven't see him yet, what team we should pick for the FA Cup this weekend, and lots more.
On this week's Arsecast I'm joined by Rory Smith from The Times to discuss the consistency and reliability of Nacho Monreal, and what his new contract might mean for Kieran Gibbs.

On the show this week I look back at the midweek trip to Barcelona, with some location recordings, vox-pops and more from the European trip I got back from last night at 1am. Please excuse my voice, or lack of it, it's been a long couple of days, and a man coughed on me and gave me the plague. I'm also joined by Roger Bennett, one half of the excellent Men in Blazers to chat about that and, as he's an Everton fan, to look ahead to tomorrow's game. I get his thoughts on that, Everton, Arsenal and lots more. There's some of the usual waffle, but tiredness means not too much.
This week's episode was recorded the evening of the 2-1 defeat to Watford in the FA Cup. London had cider, Dublin had wine, and we tried to make some sense of the performance, the result and what it means for the season in general.

What should happen if Arsenal don't win the league this season? More important, what will happen, bearing in mind the board and the owner that make those decisions. We chat about Theo Walcott, possible permutations for the Swansea game on Wednesday, and lighten the mood by chatting about someone being carved in two by a primitive weapon. Fun and games.

I discuss Arsenal's summer trip to the USA, and there's all the usual space-based waffle in there too.
We recorded this week's show immediately after the 2-0 win over Bournemouth, so we discuss that, the goals from Ozil and Oxlade-Chamberlain, Flamini's ridiculous challenge, and the ticket price stories at Arsenal and Liverpool this week. Then we answer listener questions about Gabriel and Per Mertesacker, Petr Cech's continuing influence, which players would be best with their wrong foot, and we get a bit sad over the latest injury to Tomas Rosicky.
On this week's show James, who thankfully was not eaten by a bear, and I, look back on the 2-1 FA Cup win over Burnley, returns for Francis Coquelin and Alexis Sanchez, and a debut from new boy Mohamed Elneny.

After that, I chat with Ted Knutson, founder of Stats Bomb, about the ever-increasing use of stats and data in football, from analysts to specific departments in clubs, and the growing influence it's having on the game itself.
On this week's show we take a look back at the 3-3 draw with West Ham, and discuss why it was we let such a good situation slip. We look at the defending, lack of in-game management, leadership, and what Arsenal lack compared to other teams in this league. We also answer listener questions about our central defenders, on whether the season is 'over', the role of Steve Bould, wonder about a back room addition who could spark some life into us with half-time team talks, and lots more.
Right then, time for this week's Arsecast, and it's Danny heavy episode. After analysing some of Danny Mills' punditry, I'm joined by Danny Karbassiyoon, a man whose only Arsenal goal came when he left Mills in his wake at Man City in a Carling Cup game. We chat about his new book 'The Arsenal Yankee', his time at Arsenal and how his career was cut short by injury. We also discuss his move into scouting, how that changes your view of the game, finding talents like Joel Campbell and Gedion Zelalem, how you can be a top youth player and find the professional game more of a struggle, and lots more.
Danny's book is out now, you can get all the details on the website thearsenalyankee.com, or follow him on Twitter @dkarbassiyoon. We've also got a couple of signed copies to give away in a competition and there's the usual waffle in there too, for all you waffle fans.
On this week's show we look back at the rather nice 4-0 win over Watford, the contributions of Alexis and Alex Iwobi, the new midfield partnership of Coquelin and Elneny, and whether this was a performance enabled by the 'pressure being off'. We also discuss James' YouTube video in which he looks out of his mind as well as the young scamps giving him the finger in the background, before we answer listener's questions about doping in football, whether injured players should come back into the team when fit again, showboating, Ozil getting kicked up in the air, and lots more.
On this week's show I'm joined by Goonerholic and NorthBankLower to chat about David Rocastle, the return of Premier League action and what it might take for something good to happen for Arsenal, as well as injury news, the Watford game and more. As well as that I get some lovely email, we have a cool new sponsor, and there's all the usual waffle in there too.
On this week's Interlull edition of the show we decide that James ought to become a ship's captain so his friends marriages can become more convenient for him, and consider the possibility that spam email could be something it's not. We look at the English Arsenal players and their Euro 2016 chances, and round-up the other international action. Then we answer listener questions about Mesut Ozil who is a fish, the timing of this Interlull, Arsene Wenger, Lukaku, Xhaka, Aubameyang, and consider if we can sell a large inflatable object to Barcelona for £15m, amongst other things.
On this week's show we look at the 2-0 win over Everton, impressive goals from Danny Welbeck and Alex Iwobi, and the impact of the latter and the trust shown in him by the manager. There's defensive and midfield improvement to talk about, and we do a Predictatron from the remaining fixtures to see where the title is going to end up (hat-tip @Arse2Mouse podcast). After that we answer listeners questions about banners, Arsene Wenger's comments about the fans, how to improve up front and if Zlatan Ibrahmovic is the man for the job, why young defenders rarely make it through the academy, and lots more.
On the show this week I look back at the midweek trip to Barcelona, with some location recordings, vox-pops and more from the European trip I got back from last night at 1am. Please excuse my voice, or lack of it, it's been a long couple of days, and a man coughed on me and gave me the plague. I'm also joined by Roger Bennett, one half of the excellent Men in Blazers to chat about that and, as he's an Everton fan, to look ahead to tomorrow's game. I get his thoughts on that, Everton, Arsenal and lots more. There's some of the usual waffle, but tiredness means not too much.
This week's episode was recorded the evening of the 2-1 defeat to Watford in the FA Cup. London had cider, Dublin had wine, and we tried to make some sense of the performance, the result and what it means for the season in general. We discuss the manager, his performance and his position, and basically become ever more exasperated and disheartened at what's gone on and how likely, or unlikely, things are to change – on and off the pitch.
On the show this week I look at how Arsenal fans online behave in the face of intense provocation, before I chat with Ben from REDaction about the ticket opt-out/boycott they were part of ahead of Sunday's FA Cup quarter-final against Watford. Then, there's some football chat with Julian H from Gingers4Limpar, a chance to win a t-shirt and a print from Art of Football, and all the usual waffle.
In this week's show we look back at the 2-2 draw with Sp*rs in the North London derby. We discuss Francis Coquelin's red card, the selection of Mohamed Elneny in midfield, Danny Welbeck up front, and whether this was a result that we can be pleased with under the circumstances. After that we take listener's questions about the role of supporters, Alexis' body language at the end of the game, team selection for the FA Cup game against Hull, and much more, including the somewhat shocking news that James now defines world fashion.
After a week of anger, frustration and dismay, we try and cut through that to make some sense of it all. I'm joined by Tayo Popoola and Tim Stillman to talk about the Swansea game, the performance, and why we couldn't raise ourselves properly after the United loss. We analyse the way we play, discuss Alexis Sanchez's comments and form, Joel Campbell, empty seats and, of course, Arsene Wenger. There's some of the usual waffle in there too but not as much as normal, which may or may not be a bad thing.
In this week's episode we begin with some chicken related lunacy, followed by a look back at the 0-0 draw with Hull in the FA Cup. The second half of the show is more or less dominated by tomorrow night's Champions League clash with Barcelona, discussing team selection, tactics, the scary trio they have up front, before we head down to the Hammock District to close out the show.
On this week's Arsecast we look back a bit on that Danny Welbeck goal with commentary from all over the world, before I'm joined by Jeremy Wilson to discuss the significance of the Arsenal win and what it means in the title race. We chat about the top four, Mesut Ozil's contract and the upcoming game against Barcelona. We hear from the Angriest Man on Twitter, there's a look ahead to the FA Cup game against Hull, and all the usual waffle.
To look ahead to this weekend's clash with Leicester City I'm joined by former Gunner Adrian Clarke. I ask him how these Leicester players will be feeling, sitting top of the table; what Arsene Wenger's approach to the game will be to try and win but not fall into their counter-attacking trap; as well as what the manager will do in midfield and centre-half where he has selection decisions to make. I discuss Arsenal's summer trip to the USA, and there's all the usual space-based waffle in there too.
We recorded this week's show immediately after the 2-0 win over Bournemouth, so we discuss that, the goals from Ozil and Oxlade-Chamberlain, Flamini's ridiculous challenge, and the ticket price stories at Arsenal and Liverpool this week. Then we answer listener questions about Gabriel and Per Mertesacker, Petr Cech's continuing influence, which players would be best with their wrong foot, and we get a bit sad over the latest injury to Tomas Rosicky.
On this week's show I'm joined by Tim Stillman to talk about the 0-0 with Southampton, and the faltering title challenge. We talk about what can be done with midfield, the mounting pressure, the indifferent form of Theo Walcott, and lots more. There's some Amaury Bischoff PI and all the usual waffle too, as election fever mounts.
On this week's show James, who thankfully was not eaten by a bear, and I, look back on the 2-1 FA Cup win over Burnley, returns for Francis Coquelin and Alexis Sanchez, and a debut from new boy Mohamed Elneny. We also discuss Alex Iwobi's shins, our favourite John Terry moments, transfer deadline day and what might happen, and there are some spoilers for Oscar nominated movie The Revenant – bringing us back around to the bear-theme that permeates this show. Also, James tries not to eat a baby by mistaking it for delicious baked goods.
Time now for this week's Arsecast and today's show is a round table discussion with Goonerholic, The Man from East Lower, and Andrew Allen, taking stock of where we are right now and what lies ahead for the rest of the season. We discuss the last few games of January, Aaron Ramsey, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, new boy Mohamed Elneny, the players returning from injury, the threat of Leicester and the other teams in the title race, the closing of the transfer window, and lots more.
On this week's show we discuss the disappointing, frustrating 1-0 defeat to Chelsea. On the agenda, the red card issued to Per Mertesacker; could we have done more to prevent that situation developing; the decision to take off Olivier Giroud; and what it all means for our title hopes. As well as that we answer listener questions about Theo Walcott and the Captain's Armband (probably the title of his new book), Mohamed Elneny and why we haven't see him yet, what team we should pick for the FA Cup this weekend, and lots more.
On this week's Arsecast I'm joined by Rory Smith from The Times to discuss the consistency and reliability of Nacho Monreal, and what his new contract might mean for Kieran Gibbs. We also discuss Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, 10 years of Theo Walcott, and we look ahead to Sunday's Premier League clash with Chelsea. There's some TV fixture scheduling stuff, pants based trauma and all the usual waffle.
On this week's show we look back on the 0-0 draw with Stoke, the performances, and the display of Petr Cech who helped secure a point. There's the Aaron Ramsey chanting, Mesut Ozil's absence, and more on our midfield, before we answer listener's questions about taking quick free kicks, the baldness of referees, which players might be the best arm-wrestlers, as well as a seriously intense sauce based discussion which brings some AMAZING REVELATIONS.
Joining me on this week's show, to look back on the 3-3 draw with Liverpool, is Amy Lawrence. We chat about the game, some individual performances, the midfield dysfunction, Joel Campbell's emergence and Olivier Giroud's striking. There's a look ahead to the game against Stoke on Sunday, some Aaron Ramsey death base guff and all the usual waffle.
This week's show starts on a sad note as we touch on the passing of the legendary David Bowie, before we move onto discussion of the 3-1 win over Sunderland in the FA Cup. We touch on Alex Iwobi, Joel Campbell, Olivier Giroud, Aaron Ramsey and others, before we take listener questions in the second half of the show about Benik Afobe, Arsene Wenger and Manuel Pellegrini, David Ospina's future, robot camel jockeys and much, much more.
On today's show, following up on the opening show of the season, I'm joined again by Ken Early from Second Captains. Ken popped into the studio this week to look at the season so far, what's happened since we last talked, the various managerial goings-on, the title race, and how it's gone for Arsenal up until now. I also reveal my two New Year resolutions and there's some of the usual waffle in there too.
On this week's show we look back the 1-0 win over Newcastle and discuss the performance, the three points when playing badly, Laurent Koscielny's goal, as well as the return of Serge Gnabry from his West Brom loan, perhaps to make room for Mathieu Debuchy's departure. We then answer listener questions about the transfer window, Arsene Wenger's sartorial choice, Aaron Ramsey's late miss against Newcastle, Ganbry's potential inclusion in the squad, some transfers that didn't go our way, and more.
On this week's show we look back at the last two games: the 4-0 defeat to Southampton and the 2-0 win over Bournemouth. We discuss the good, the bad and the different class that is Mesut Ozil, Calum Chambers midfield outing and the potential signing of Mohamed Elneny. We then answer listener questions, many of which are about Ozil; there's some Mathieu Debuchy gossip; we wax lyrical about our favourite signing from a Premier League club; and uncover the hidden meaning of Ozil's goal celebration hand signal. It's all in there.
On this week's show festive edition of the show we look at the rather enjoyable 2-1 win over Man City last night, what it means for our title ambitions, the performances of Theo Walcott, Joel Campbell and Mesut Ozil, and all the other associated guff from the match. We then answer listeners questions about Laurent Koscielny, Petr Cech's headgear, injury problems and close the show with a number that should probably have us locked up for crimes against music, but if you can't forgive us terrible singing at Christmas when can you?
On this week's show I provide my own theory as to Mourinho's sacking – and in typical Mourinho style he made a bollix of this too. I had recorded earlier in the day with Jim Campbell from The Football Ramble, and we'd had a good natter about the not-so-special one and his ongoing strife at Chelsea. Then he gets canned and renders all that glorious audio redundant. Still, we chat Leicester, Man City, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil, transfers and much more. We're also at home with Abramovic; there's a chance for you to win goodies from Savile Rogue; some Christmas present recommendations; and all the usual waffle too
On this week's show James and I provide live reaction to the Champions League draw which sees us face Barcelona again. It's nice to get an easy one now and again.

On this week's podcast I'm joined by Tim Clark from Arse2Mouse to discuss Champions League qualification, Olivier Giroud, Joel Campbell, January transfer activity, and why we both think this is a league season set up for Arsenal success. We hear from the Angriest Man on Twitter, there's all the usual waffle, and a priceless, informative podcasting tutorial for anyone interested in starting their own show.
On this week's show James and I discuss the 3-1 win over Sunderland at the weekend, looking at the performance, the line-up and how that might have affected the way we played. There's praise for Petr Cech, Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey, and some discussion of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after his first start since the 2-1 win over Everton in October. We then answer listener questions about potential January transfer moves, Hector Bellerin's recent form, who should take our penalties in the absence of Santi Cazorla, and pledge to make a podcast every day for a year if we find a kindly benefactor, or an Indecent Proposal style one, we're not that fussy.
In this injury hit episode I twang some ankle ligaments, wrench a hamstring, pull a calf (muscle, you filthy minded swines), but thankfully have no groin problems to discuss. I chat to the man from East Lower about which of our players will live and die, and who might actually be able to play football before we talk about the inevitability of January transfer moves. There's all the usual waffle, and a chance for you to win goodies from our friends at Savile Rogue.
On this week's show James and I look back at the 1-1 draw with Norwich, and the injuries sustained by Alexis, Santi Cazorla and Laurent Koscielny.

On this week's show we discuss the weekend defeat to West Brom and the injury to Francis Coquelin which has caused much angst – even if the duration of his absence has not yet been confirmed. Was the loss a hammer blow for our title chances, or is a damaged Coq going to cause us more problems in the long-run? We also answer listener questions about Mikel Arteta, how we might replace Coquelin in the short-term, our constant injury problems, syrup sweat and rabid squirrels. It's all in there for you today.
On this week's show I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to discuss the events in Paris last Saturday and the possible impact on football and Arsenal players. As well as that we talk about doping in football in the wake of further comments from Arsene Wenger about how he wants the testing system overhauled; there are chances to win prizes from Savile Rogue and Percy Nobleman, a quick look ahead to the return of football thhis weekend, and a bit of the usual waffle.

After that we answer listener questions about Alexis Sanchez, the best penalty takers, a rotten choice for fourth place, another thing to divide us as the schism grows ever larger, and terrifying creatures that are terrifying. Not only that we've got some prizes to give away in our first Savile Rogue competition of the year
On this week's show we discuss the 1-1 draw with Sp*rs yesterday, the performance overall, whether we played badly or they played well, the contributions of Kieran Gibbs and Mesut Ozil, and the growing importance of Petr Cech. We then take listener questions about Aaron Ramsey, combating the pressing game, resting players for the Interlull, what we might do if the world was filled with giant ants, and lots more besides.
Time then for this week's Arsecast and after a 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich I try and talk about that as little as possible. All the same Goonerholic joins me for some European discussion and a look ahead to the North London derby on Sunday. We get an opposition view from a complete rotter, Andrei Arshavin reveals his top 5 songs in his Mixtape, and there's all the usual waffle.
On this week's show we discuss the 3-0 win over Swansea at the weekend, including the goals from Olivier Giroud, Laurent Koscielny and Joel Campbell. We also look ahead to the game against Bayern Munich this week, and answer listener questions about which game is most important this week, potential signings in January, a mixed-up starting XI, Remi Garde as a possible future manager, and we end with another discussion that could have widen the chasm of Butter-and-Jam-Gate, but which helps heal some of those wounds.
On today's show I react the dramatic midweek events on and off the pitch, including the growing threat to humanity that was revealed on Wednesday. I then chat with Tim Stillman about Joel Campbell, our injury problems, Capital One Cup, the upcoming schedule, what's going on at youth level and lots more. There's some vintage news, a halloween spook, and all the usual waffle.

Right then, time for this week's Arsecast and after the Interlull we can look ahead to football again. There's AGM chat and more with Jeremy Wilson – including chat about that £3m payment to KSE; team news; a look ahead to the weekend, kinda; lots of laughing at the misfortune of others; and a veritable glut of the usual waffle.
On this week's show we cope with the Interlull by chatting about Arsenal players' involvement with their national teams; goals for Olivier Giroud, Alexis, Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla, and an assist for Mesut Ozil; a new contract for Alex Iwobi and more.

Then we take questions about strikers, left-backs, Carl Jenkinson, potential January signings and loads more.
On this week's show I'm joined by Rory Smith from The Times to talk about Arsenal's midweek exploits, Arsene Wenger's record in Europe, why teams seem to be able to figure us out, the manager's faith in his players and more. There's something of a dearth of the usual waffle though, due to a terrible day I had, but it's better than nothing!
On this week's show we look back on the 5-2 win over Leicester, goals from Alexis, Walcott and Giroud, an exciting game and a good performance overall.

On this week's show embrace the Interlull by discussing some international performances and whether or not they'll do us any good when real football starts again.

On this week's show, trying to make sense of the Danny Welbeck stuff, the lack of transfer activity, and how this team might improve in ways other than spending money, I'm joined by James from @Northbanklower – who reveals a deadline day loan move that failed to go through – and Andrew Allen. It's quite an impromptu podcast, Interlull usually means no Arsecast but under the circumstances ... there's some, if not all, of the usual waffle in there too.

I wasn't going to do an Arsecast this week because the season is over and it's time for its summer hiatus, but given that we won the cup and I wanted to keep that going for a bit longer I roped in Amy Lawrence for a chat about that, the knock-on effects of another trophy, some vague stuff about what we might do in the summer, Jack Wilshere and more. There's all the usual waffle and some bits from the course of the season that didn't work out as well as they might have.

We chat about the performances – both collective and individual, some our favourite moments from the game, and answer FA Cup winning questions about Alexis Sanchez's goal, who our man of the match was, how we'd celebrate it with a particular Arsenal player and speculate on Tim Sherwood's dressing room meltdown. Oh, and we won the cup.

There's all the usual waffle in there too, just for balance.
OOn this week's show we discuss the disappointing 1-0 defeat to Swansea, the implications of the result, where the team fell down last night, the goalkeeper and more. As well as that we answer questions about manager swapping, Danny Welbeck playing at Old Trafford on Sunday, set-piece delivery, and Carl Jenkinson before we take a trip into the future and things get a bit nipply.
On this week's show I chat to Amy Lawrence about Jack Wilshere and what he's got to do to win his place back in this side, summer squad shuffling, the importance of Francis Coquelin and this weird thing that's going on with regards to fitness. Amy also very kindly has given 5 copies of the paperback version of Invincible to give away, so listen in to find out how you can win one. There's all the usual waffle in there too, as well as your first listen to the official Arseblog FA Cup song!
