Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode I'm joined by Tim Stillman to chat about Arsenal's Brazilians in World Cup action, England's draw with Ghana that featured four of our players, but which raised more questions about Declan Rice's fitness and how we cope with that ahead of next season. We also talk about what Mikel Arteta might have learned from last season, backroom changes – especially in the medical department, the rumoured swap deal involving Julian Alvarez and Viktor Gyokeres, players pushing through the pain, Aaron Ramsey moving into management, and lots more.

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie take listener questions from BlueSky on Arsenal’s rebuild and how it is going, the impact for all women’s football of a rapidly inflating market for salaries and transfer fees, why Arsenal and Manchester City doesn’t seem to be a proper rivalry yet, why paths for academy players are shrinking in the WSL, how recruitment and infrastructure has improved over the last five years and revisiting the article from the Athletic last winter about dressing room discord.

In this episode we discuss the Premier League fixture list which was released late last week, as that's about the only Arsenal related news there is at the moment. Then attention turns to the World Cup and some of more interesting results, not least small nations like Curacao and Cape Verde producing excellent results against more storied opposition. We also talk about how the ad-breaks are being viewed by fans but unfortunately not enough people with stature in the game are scathing enough about them, the first of a kind red card for Miguel Almiron, before we answer questions about the left-hand side transfer plans this summer, whether we need to sign a striker and what kind of profile that player might be, some of the punditry on US television involving Thierry Henry, whether £100m+ is the going rate for a Premier League midfielder, and lots more. Well, some more. We did our best!

In this episode I'm joined by Lewis Ambrose to chat about the World Cup and some of the main stories from the last few days. We discuss Cape Verde earning a battling point against Spain, how France's attack sparked into second half action against Senegal, the impact of the big name players in this tournament so far, goals from distance, the Arsenal involvement – particularly for England – with some focus on Declan Rice and how the heavy schedule and minutes played this season could be catching up with him. What will that mean for Mikel Arteta's plans for the early part of next season, and influence some transfer market activity?

There's also a quick chat with Jacob from Poorly Drawn Arsenal about his upcoming book which you can win in a competition, and for more details on pre-ordering (and to find the answer to the competition question), go here: https://www.poorlydrawnarsenal.com/zine/

In this episode we chat about a milestone birthday for James, talking on planes, and first impressions of the World Cup – in particular the fact the games are being broken into four quarters by unnecessary 'hydration breaks' which are being used to introduce more advertising slots. Beyond the commercial elements, they also have a material impact on the games, and it's not positive. We then round up the Arsenal involvement in the games so far, and some of the results we've seen, before we answer listener questions about changes the medical staff, transfer stories involving Christos Tzolis and Ayyoub Bouaddi, what we might do at right back with injury worries over Jurrien Timber and Ben White, potential surprise sales, what a midfield arrival might mean for Myles Lewis-Skelly, and lots more.
