Arsecast Extra Episode 672 - 22.12.2025
In this episode we look back at Saturday's 1-0 win away to Everton, having experienced the game in different ways. One viewing was much less anxious than the other, so how does that translate into analysis of the performance? We chat about the penalty award and the emphatic take by Viktor Gyokeres, and ask if that might be the confidence boost he really needs. There's also discussion of second half chances, Arsenal hitting the post twice, and winning while not playing at our very best. In the second half there are questions about Ethan Nwaneri, how Mikel Arteta might...

Episode 858 - Girding our loins
In this episode I'm joined by Kaya Kaynak to discuss a wide range of topics, starting with the EFL Cup draw and the potential of a two-legged semi-final against Chelsea if we win our quarter-final against Crystal Palace. How seriously should Arsenal take this competition? We look at both sides. Then there's discussion of the reaction to the Wolves game and what happens next, some focus on making our attack more effective, Odegaard and Eze playing together, and we answer some listener questions about Arsenal's injury issues, goalscoring and how it impacts the title race, some mid-season a...

In this episode we look back at Saturday's last gasp win over Wolves, and try to balance the importance of the three points with the level of performance Arsenal put in. If the manager and the players are unhappy, is it ok for fans to be concerned too? We chat about the slightly surprising back-four selection, especially in the context of Ben White's injury, and discuss first half moments that could easily have changed the complexion of the game. All the goals came in the second half, and we discuss Bukayo Saka's role in both, why the goal we...

In this episode we look back at Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa, our first loss in 18 games. We chat about the team selection, the goal we conceded and how much that contributed to Mikel Arteta making half-time substitutions. Leandro Trossard drew us level off the bench, but when it looked like a point would do for both sides, Villa won it with the last kick of the game. We analyse the way that goal went in and what we might have done better, whether we spurned a good chance to win it ourselves late on, and reflect on...

In this episode we look back 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. We begin with the team selection and the unexpected absence of William Saliba from the heart of the defence. How did that impact Arsenal, and did it mean the home side amped up what was already going to be an aggressive approach to the game? We assess the performances of both sides when it was 11 v 11, and then the horrendous challenge by Caicedo which saw him sent off which should have tilted the game firmly in our favour. It didn't quite play out like...

We analyse the first half goal we conceded, before Mikel Arteta's side put in a sensational second half performance to go and win the game.

Better a bit late than never, I'm joined by Phil Costa to re-live the 5-1 win over Sporting in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. We reflect on a dominant first half performance, with collective and individual brilliance putting us into a commanding half-time lead thanks to goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and Gabriel. The home side got one back, and their fans started whistling for a bit, but Arsenal responded with two more to ensure the win was as emphatic as it deserved to be. We chat about Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, Jurrien Timber, as well as...

We discuss what sportswashing actually means, and how in this book we come to understand it's a very broad term to quickly describe how football, money and politics have become inextricably linked. We chat about the impact it has had on competitiveness in the game, why Roman Abramovich's arrival at Chelsea in 2003 opened a Pandora's Box, the Premier League's culpability, how FIFA and UEFA have failed to safeguard the game and instead jumped on the gravy train, an...
