Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode I'm joined by Andrew Allen to discuss Arsenal's progression to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after a 2-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday evening. We chat about the response to the first leg, Eberechi Eze's brilliant goal and growing influence, another outstanding Declan Rice performance topped with an excellent goal to make it 2-0, the way Mikel Arteta used his bench, the club's standing in the European game in our third season back in the CL, facing Sporting in the next round, the fate of other English clubs in Europe, and lots more.

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie talk over Sunday's 2-0 win away at London City Lionesses. There is discussion over Olivia Smith's increasing importance, a defence that has conceded only four goals in its last 12 games and the quiet serenity of an unbeaten run and the repeatable cheat code that is Stina Blackstenius supersub. There is also a little bit of Asian Cup chat. In part two, Tim and Jamie take your questions on BlueSky about the goalkeeper situation, the integration of academy players and dream NWSL transfers.

In this episode we look back on Saturday's 2-0 win over Everton, beginning with discussion of a first half that saw the visitors come closest to scoring, although Arsenal were denied what was an obvious penalty when Kai Havertz was fouled in their box. The Gunners tried hard but found it tough to break down obstinate opposition, before Viktor Gyokeres put us ahead in the 89th minute. Max Dowman played a big part in that opening goal, and then produced something very special to seal the game and become the youngest goalscorer for Arsenal, and in Premier League history. We discuss that incredible moment, the replays, the videos, the reactions, and lots more, as well as analysing Mikel Arteta's decision to pick him ahead of senior players, and what it all means in the title race. We then have listener questions about Dowman's involvement going forward, Eberechi Eze, the manager's sideline reactions during a tense game, whether the team needed this kind of emotional release, and lots more besides.

In this episode I'm joined first by Kaya Kaynak to talk about Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday evening. We discuss team selection, the early yellow card for Robert Andrich and a potential second, Gabriel Martinelli hitting the bar, and falling behind early in the second half to a set-piece goal. We also touch on Bukayo Saka's struggles, his replacement by Noni Madueke and the impact that sub made as he won the penalty from which Kai Havertz equalised. As well as that we chat about the opposition approach, our continued issues against low-block sides, whether full backs are the ideal players to have in attacking positions, the week that English clubs have had generally in Europe, and lots more.

In this episode we look back on Saturday's 2-1 FA Cup 5th round win over Mansfield Town. We chat about a much changed Arsenal starting XI and formation, and one with two 16 year olds in it too. There were chances for the home side on a difficult pitch before Noni Madueke fired us ahead. A mistake led to the equaliser before Eberechi Eze's rocket won the game for the Gunners. We discuss the performances of Marli Salmon and Max Dowman in particular who was our best player on the day, with some focus on senior players who didn't get near that level. Then we talk about where this competition falls on the priority list before answering questions about Dowman's role between now and the end of the season, whether Arteta should restrict players availability for the upcoming Interlull, the marathon of the season, Gabriel Jesus and his future, Edu, past contributors, and lots more besides.
