In this episode I'm joined first by Clive Palmer for an Arsenal Interlull round-up, starting with news of Ben White's injury/surgery, and how that has clearly been an issue for him for some time. We chat about player performance while carrying injuries, wonder if Gabriel Jesus can ever rekindle anything even close to his best form, and discuss the big off the pitch story of the week involving referee David Coote.
Then I chat to Arsenal fan and author Jon Spurling about his new book: 'Go to war - football on the brink in the 80s'. We talk about football was informed by society at the time, and some of the most difficult moments the game in England has ever endured, as well as some of the great characters and positive stories, including a final chapter than revolves around Anfield 89.

In this episode we look back at Sunday's 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. We chat about the return of Martin Odegaard and his influence on the team, going ahead and letting the lead slip again, tight offside decisions and missed chances, how to view a point away from home in the context of the game, and well the season so far. We also discuss the analysis of the team and the way it has played this campaign, with lots of issues to deal with but also plenty of room for improvement. Then there are listener questions about the future of Gabriel Jesus, whether Odegaard should play for Norway during the Interlull, the amount of goals we're conceding, the January window, and lots more.

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie dissect the 5-0 win over Brighton at Emirates Stadium on Friday evening. Tim and Jamie consider how far this was a vintage Arsenal performance and a bad Brighton one, whether trademark goals from Mead, Foord, Maanum and Hurtig suggest that Arsenal are back in the swing of things attacking wise and they consider Renee Slegers' willingness to make early substitutions. In the second half, they take listener questions on the new manager search, the decision to switch the Bayern Munich UWCL game away from the Emirates, the future of the midfield and a team featuring players who were largely signed several years ago.

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to look back at our 1-0 defeat to Inter Milan in the Champions League. Another loss is frustrating, but were there signs of improvement from the Arsenal attack last night? We analyse that, taking into context the quality of the opposition, while acknowledging things aren't exactly fluent at this moment in time. We wonder how Mikel Arteta might change the dynamic, and chat about some of the key moments in the game, from second half chances to two penalty decisions in the first half that went a long way to deciding the result. There's also discussion of Mikel Merino, Ethan Nwaneri, Raheem Sterling, and lots more.

On this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie discuss the frustrating 1-1 draw with Manchester United. Tim and Jamie comb over the performance, the encouraging display of Alessia Russo but the irritation at again seeing Arsenal struggle to convert dominance into goals and ask whether there are any green shoots here. They also discuss Arsenal's lack of aerial prowess in defence and whether it can be fixed by any other means than the transfer market. As ever, in part 2 Tim and Jamie take listener questions on the attacking issues, whether the Russo / Stina split works, the relationship between the attackers, the lack of goal celebrations and the new manager search.

In this episode we look back at Saturday's disappointing 1-0 defeat away at Newcastle. We discuss the team selection, the lack of any kind of attacking threat after we went behind, and try to understand why collectively and individually we had such a bad day. Has all the juice been squeezed from the lemon? And where does this leave the team with more difficult away games this week? We also take listener questions about the reported departure of Edu from his role as Sporting Director, whether the team needs more pace, and lots more

In this episode I talk to Arsenal legend Martin Keown on the publication of his book 'On the edge'. We chat about his Irish background, his strength of character at 19 to stand up to George Graham over a financial issue and to move away from the club he loved, and his time at Aston Villa and Everton. We also discuss the brutal world of professional football back then, his return to Arsenal and his relationship with the famous 'back four', how Arsene Wenger got more out of him than any other manager, and lots more. You can also win one of two signed copies of the book.
'On the Edge' is published by Penguin – and is available from your local independent bookstore!

In this episode I'm joined by Harry Symeou from The Chronicles of a Gooner to discuss Arsenal's 3-0 win over Preston in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday night. We chat about the strength of the team selection, a long overdue goal for Gabriel Jesus, and of course another exciting display from Ethan Nwaneri which he capped with an incredible goal. We touch on reasons why Mikel Arteta might still be cautious about overplaying the 17 year old, as well as the performance of others such as Raheem Sterling and Jakub Kiwior, before we talk about how winning this competition might not be top of anyone's priority list but would still be important and beneficial for the club and the fans.

In this episode we look back at Sunday's 2-2 draw against Liverpool. We chat about the impact on Bukayo Saka on his return to the team, with an outstanding goal, and Arsenal's response to the Liverpool equaliser. Mikel Merino gave us a deserved lead at the break, but in the second half the performance levels dropped a bit so we analyse the reasons for that, key of which was the loss of Gabriel, as well as finishing the game with a very makeshift back-four. We also discuss the second Liverpool goal, some of the officiating decisions, and how to view the result in the context of the season so far. Then there are questions about what kind of team to pick for the Carabao Cup, media narratives, the framing of Mikel Arteta's style as a manager, and lots more.

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to talk about Arsenal's 1-0 win over Shaktar Donetsk in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. We discuss team selection, and a game which probably should have been more emphatic for the Gunners based on first half chances. Then we chat about the second half drop-off, analyse the potential reasons for that, discuss some individuals like Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling, fret about the potential injury to Riccardo Calafiori, wonder why we haven't seen a bit more of Ethan Nwaneri of late and lots more.

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie comb through the 2-0 victory at West Ham. Tim and Jamie look at Arsenal's tactical approach and selection and some of the issues with chance creation rearing their head again, question how much has changed and how much change we could expect from Renee Slegers' interim charge and look at the impact of the quadruple substitution early in the second half. In the second half, Tim and Jamie take your questions on the midfield, whether Kafaji should have an increased role now, Steph Catley at centre-back, the goalkeeper situation, whether Arsenal need a 'clean break' with a new manager ASAP and then Tim and Jamie consider Manu Zinsberger's recent LinkedIn post and consider the lines between criticism and abuse.

In this emergency episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie run the rule over the resignation of Jonas Eidevall as the Head Coach of Arsenal Women. Tim talks a little bit about how Arseblog News became aware of and were able to (just about) break the story on Tuesday morning. Then Tim and Jamie analyse where things went wrong, how the situation took a serious turn in the last week, why it didn't quite click the way the club and Jonas wanted it to and looked ahead to how Arsenal might succession plan for his departure. Tim and Jamie then each share one high point from Eidevall's reign.

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast Tim and Jamie pore over the 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday and try to dissect how to separate this result and performance from the wider funk that Arsenal seem to be in. Did Arsenal just 'get varianced'? And is it possible to separate that from the wider malaise? Tim and Jamie talk about the defending on the goals conceded and whether a lack of confidence in attack had an impact on the result with more than one proven player low on confidence. In the second half, Tim and Jamie deal with listener questions on Rosa Kafaji and the lack of integration for young players, on Clare Wheatley's role and whether more communication from 'upstairs' is needed at the club and on the delicate balance between rotation and trying and failing to find partnerships that work.

In this Interlull episode we chat about the Arsenal players who have been on international duty, including Bukayo Saka who has returned home after picking up a small injury with England. There's discussion of Martin Odegaard amid rumours of a set-back, a little chat about a difficult week for Arsenal Women, and Graeme Souness's comments about Arsene Wenger. Then in part two we answer questions about over-saturation of football, the introduction of half-time interviews from next season, more legal wrangling, and because it's an Interlull there's an abundance of other nonsense involving James' dramatic reading of song lyrics, sandwiches, sweetcorn, wormholes, and lots more.

In this episode I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to discuss how much that surrounds the game of football is taking place in the courtroom. We begin by chatting about Man City's legal challenge to the Premier League's associated party transaction rules, and how it was reported in sections of the media, before moving onto the case involving Lasana Diarra and what it might mean for the transfer market going forward. Then we talk about how top footballers are talking more openly about the demands placed on them and the possibility of a strike at some point, FIFA's ghastly Club World Cup idea, as well as some Arsenal chat as we reflect on the season to date.

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie talk about Arsenal’s 1-0 win over Leicester at the King Power. Tim and Jamie discuss a rotated starting line-up, how much the packed early season schedule contributed to a leggy performance, whether the game can be taken in isolation or whether concerns about the attack in particular persist and the performances of Daphne van Domselaar, Alessia Russo, the midfield partnership of Lia Walti and Kyra Cooney-Cross, defensive injuries and a lack of creativity without Mariona and Kafaji starting the game.

In this episode we look back at the 3-1 win over Southampton on Saturday. We discuss the decision to start Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus, and how much of an impact that had on a first half which Arsenal dominated but without enough cutting edge. We chat about the goal we conceded and the emphatic response from the team in the shape of Kai Havertz's equaliser, Gabriel Martinelli getting on the scoresheet again, the continued brilliance of Bukayo Saka, and how Mikel Arteta might reflect on these last two games as we go into an Interlull. There are questions about Gabriel Jesus, some defensive instability, Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice, and lots more.

We chat about the contributions of Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz, how Bukayo Saka combines incredible output with superb defensive work, the contributions of full-backs Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori, holding PSG at arm's length as a way of measuring our development, and lots more.
