Arsenal fans are in all kinds of conflict right now, is it time to believe that a madness can happen? We discuss the win at Wolves and the other results that went our way. We also get into which Arsenal players did and didn't get a call up to the World Cup, and obviously we also touch on the biggest news story of the week - Ronaldo's truth bombs!

The Arseholics - An Arsenal Podcast85. Chelsea 0 Arsenal 1 - ReactionIs this the statement win of the season? Is this finally the win that puts respect on what Arsenal have been cooking? It may be the third time in a row that Arsenal have won at Stamford Bridge but this felt different. Arsenal dominated and expressed technical superiority for the whole game, it was a lack of finishing that kept the victory down to just 1-0. On our latest live show we review the game from both perspectives of being in the stands and watching it on TV. We also look towards our League Cup encounter with Brighton on Wednesday...

In theory it’s what you’d predict when the team at the very top is at home to the team at the very bottom but as the Premier League proves so often, you just never know. So many things to talk about on reflection including Martinelli’s continued ascent to potentially scary levels of good to Reiss Nelson unexpected sub appearance being unexpectedly phenomenal. Check out our thoughts on all this and more on our latest pod as we also preview our upcoming games against Zurich and Aubameyang’s Chelsea.

The Arseholics - An Arsenal Podcast82. Southampton 1 Arsenal 1 - ReactionA draw. What a strange feeling, we never draw. Arsenal’s winning streak comes to an end in what was a quintessential game of two halves. Arsenal were outstanding in the first, and pretty abject in the second. The good news is we’re still top of the league and only one Big 6 rival managed to win this weekend. We cover all the main talking points from the game including Gabriel Jesus having a day to forget in front of goal, lacklustre substitute performances and a controversial diva-like display from the referee. We also look to our upcoming games against PSV...

From power cuts to missed pens to overturned reds to an Arsenal win, the only thing it didn't have was the Rolls Royce version of Arsenal that we've got to love this season. So perhaps leaving Elland Road with three points after that performance is yet another sign of this team being a different beast to last season? After all the other results this weekend, Arsenal are four points clear at the top. Tune in as we review the game and look towards our upcoming games against PSV and Southampton respectively.

It’s almost unthinkable that you can follow up an NLD victory with an even more enjoyable win but this was arguably the case with the Arsenal boys beating Liverpool in a five goal thriller at The Emirates. So much drama, so much to talk about, but in conclusion it’s another milestone passed to evidence the progress of this vibrant and hungry side who are STILL top of the table after 9 games played. Join us as we cover all the major talking points and preview our away trips to Bodo/Glimt and Leed...

Yet another W to keep Arsenal at the very top of the league! Spurs’ boring anti-football finally got the loss it deserved as Arteta kept faith with his Plan A, dominated possession throughout and goals from Partey, Jesus and the reborn Xhaka sent the lily-sh*tes back to Mordor. We had another reason to celebrate as we welcomed Niro back onto the pod after a lengthy hiatus. Check out our musings on the game, what we learnt about Arsenal, whether we’ll see wholesale changes for the Bodo game, and...

Even though the joker ended up joining us 45 minutes late, it proved to be great entertainment! We discussed how we expect both sides to approach the game, whether a statement victory is needed by Arsenal, the possible line-ups and ways in which we can see Spurs hurting Arsenal. When he eventually turned up we got Jason’s lowdown on Spurs’ season so far, his feelings on their style of play, individual player performances, hopes for Spur...

The team that flattened us on opening day last season got comprehensively controlled on Sunday with many calling it the most complete Arsenal performance of the Arteta era so far. The Arsenal boys go back to the top of the league as we say goodbye to the first spell of the season and enter the first international break. No Odegaard, no problem it seems. Fabio Vieira marked his full prem debut with an absolute banger off the post. Check out our latest pod where we talk about the win, Tierney’s qualities, England snubbing Ben White, th...

Apologies in advance for the overexcitement during the episode but in the same way recording after a defeat is a new concept this season, so was recording live.
We went into the detail of our defeat to Man Utd at Old Trafford to try and make sense of a game where we looked so impressive and dominating in patches, yet sliced open and punished repeatedly. We obviously talk about VAR too because it’s probably the most talked about thing in sport right now. We also look to our upcoming gam...

If you choose to ignore the celebration police, then you were probably mightily impressed with the team refusing to accept that it just wasn’t gonna be our day as we came back from a goal down to beat Fulham. On the pod we reflect across our first four victories and figure out what we’ve learnt. We talk defensive habits, attacking trends, squad depth, transfer incomings and we even preview our next g...

Two goals and two assists on his home debut was the least he deserved for ripping Leicester to shreds. On the pod we reflect on what he’s showing us plus much more such as Xhaka’s new attacking responsibilities, the threat of our left hand side and the nature of the goals conceded. We also spend some time talking about the catastrophic start to the season Man Utd are having and what elements of Arsenal’s rebuild they should look to copy. We finish up by...

The Sky execs so desperately wanted a repeat of last year’s 2-0 opening night defeat under the lights but the Arsenal boys delivered a 2-0 win at one of the hardest grounds to go to in the league. What a brilliant start to the season. We don’t know what was better; watching William Saliba being imperious on debut or meeting Daddy Ramsdale in the pub! On the pod we discuss the win and debate whether we lived dangerously or not. We cover William Saliba and Ben White’s performances in detail, what we learnt from watching our rivals...

It may well be the best pre-season Arsenal have ever had in terms of results and the recruitment hasn’t been too shabby in the background. Our last two games have been an aggregate of 10-0 against Chelsea and Sevilla with new signing Gabriel Jesus on fire, so yeah it’s all set up nicely for a 3-0 defeat under the lights against Palace. Check out our season preview where we digest all the recruitment and performances that went down over pre-season and make our predictions for the 22/23 season.

In The Middle - Midfield BreakdownXhaka and Partey were the clear first choice pairing in the middle of the park last season with Lokonga and Elneny taking turns to be Arteta’s favourite understudy. We discuss how the foursome faired and whether the unit stays as it is next season. Is there a chance Xhaka leaves? Can Lokonga play a bigger role? Will Partey’s injury struggles get worse with age? Is there a future for Torreira or Maitland-Niles? We also talk about the type of midfielder that’s on our wishlist for next season and whether Tielemans could be the right guy for us.

The Arsenal Striker SituationWith Aubameyang gone and both Nketiah and Lacazette out of contract this summer, there’s still a chance that the three main strikers we started the 20/21 season with all leave the club before the next season starts. With reports however that Eddie is on the brink of signing a new five year deal, we decided to spend some time reviewing the striker situation at Arsenal. We discuss who we think should stay, how many strikers we need going into next season, and what type(s) of centre forward we’d like to see Arsenal sign this summer.

Regardless, The Emirates was full of positivity and support for the young team and manager that have given us much to cheer about this season. On our pod we act all grown up and talk about our feelings on finishing 5th, reflect on whether any of our squad were waving goodbye to the fans for good, plus reflect on some of the big Arsenal related news...

The Arseholics - An Arsenal Podcast67. Newcastle 2 Arsenal 0 Post Match ReactionA painful episode to record on the whistle. Arsenal limp out of the Top 4 race with a 2nd defeat in a row. No goals in two games and a fair few conceded in the process. No-one gave this young team a chance at finishing in the Top 4 and sadly in the end it looks as though barring a miracle at Carrow Road then 5th is where we’ll end up. An admirable effort from the boys but it’s the hope that kills you as a fan. Check out our pod where we provide our very raw and unstructured thoughts post...

Out of all the scenarios that could’ve happened in the NLD, this was one of the worst. One centre back sent off within 30 mins, the other one injured at the end, and an absolute hammering in between. Arsenal head into the final two games of the season still in the box seat for 4th but with a defensive crisis to deal with and team confidence likely bruised in a big way. Check out our latest pod where we review the major talking points and feel out whether we think our boys still have it in them to get us...

Make an 11 man Leeds look like fodder but a 10 man Leeds look like Liverpool. Luckily the beatdown we gave Leeds prior to old boy Luke Ayling getting sent off was enough to seal three points and put Arsenal in a powerful position in the Top 4 race. A win on Thursday in the NLD and it’s sealed. A loss still keeps Arsenal in the box seat but with a potentially tricky away game days later at Newcastle, Arsenal fans around the world are gunning for at least a draw. Check...

The chant was “Yellows! Yellows! Yellows!” on Sunday which in hindsight probably made the ref think we just passionately wanted him to book everyone. That arguably could’ve made a very drab game more exciting but who cares about excitement when you grind out a scrappy win away at West Ham to keep the UCL aspirations alive. We reflect on a boozy day out visiting the London Stadium and discuss all the major talking points from the game including Rob Holding getting closer to Thierry Henry’s Arsenal goals record. We also look to our game at home to Le...

Xhaka Boom! What a week for Arsenal! How often do you get to beat both Chelsea and Man Utd in a four day period? It was another rollercoaster on Saturday with plenty of talking points and we discuss as many as we could. Why did we struggle to control the game even when 2-0 up early? Did the fans make the team nervous or vice versa? How good was Xhaka’s performance and his thunderbolt to make it 3-1? What do we think of the Elneny renaissance? What does this win and Spurs’ draw at Brentford mean for...

With Elneny morphing into prime Deschamps and Nketiah going vintage Inzaghi? Wake us up from this dream. What a win at the Bridge where the atmosphere in the away end was absolutely incredible.

How quickly the vibe can change in football? All of a sudden, two defeats on the bounce in parallel with two dominating victories by Spurs and our Top 4 aspirations seem like more of a pipe dream. We go through a detailed post-mortem of the Brighton game focusing on how Arteta chose to deal with the injuries to Tierney and Partey respectively. We also discuss Lacazette’s increasingly poor looking goal returns, reflect on whether Top 4 is out the window, and take an immediate view towards our next game against a Southampton side fresh off a 6-0 defeat to Ch...

Is it really that impressive though given the amount of practice we get with 10 men these days? We reflect on a hugely important victory underpinned by the now characteristic defensive organisation and desire. All major talking points discussed including a truly remarkable sending off that will surely be the basis of trivia questions in years to come.

Overall there was such a ruthless number of outgoings from Arsenal relative to a completely underwhelming number of incomings. What was the plan? Was there a plan? Surely no striker coming in is just madness? We discuss all this and more.

It was amazing to be there, but still so tough to come away with no points. A true coming of age performance none-the-less and it feels like the fanbase is united once more.

The boys cantered to a thumping 3-0 win despite a new instalment of Auba-turning-up-late-for-things drama adding a bit of a distraction prior to kick off. Check out our latest pod where we reflect on a beauty of a first goal, 3rd goal in a row for Odegaard and yet another Gabriel set piece header. We also discuss the Auba drama in detail.

Not so long ago we were wondering about whether we were a half-decent team again. Was it just another false dawn? Arsenal lose after taking the lead (again) against a team that hadn’t won in eight and who are so bad their fans were planning to walkout in the middle of the game. Terrible and boring in possession, the very few chances created were generally stuffed up by a group of strikers who are doing their best to not score these days. A genuine challenge fo...

Solskjaer’s United never scored a goal against Arteta’s Arsenal, and now he’s gone they go and score three in one game. This game had a bit of everything from freak goals, great goals, penalties given, penalties not given… but ultimately it culminated in a defeat for Arsenal. Did we do enough going forward? Why are we conceding so many goals against the big teams? Should blame be placed on senior players like Partey and Auba? How important is the Everton game now?

The Arsenal boys overcame what on paper was a tricky test at the King Power Stadium with two early goals in an exemplary first 30 mins proving to be the difference.

A new look back 5 was just one feature of a range of interesting choices made throughout the game which resulted in a desperately needed win. 30 shots on goal indicated the 1-0 win was thoroughly deserved even though the only goal was from all of 0.3 yards. Check out our latest pod where we reflect on a fun day at the Emirates and we look to our next game away at Burnley.

The Arseholics - An Arsenal PodcastEp 39 - Overpowered - Arsenal 0 Chelsea 2 ReactionA highly anticipated return to a non-Covid restricted Emirates resulted in a comfortable Arsenal defeat by a Chelsea side who were better in every department.

The Arseholics - An Arsenal PodcastEpisode 36 - A Bad Dream - Euro 2020 Final ReactionOur Starboy was dealt the cruellest of blows in the Euro 2020 Final and the country rallied around to show him the support and love he deserves. Sadly, Society’s cockroaches were predictably quick with their abhorrent and often racial abuse. We discuss Southgate’s decision to give Saka the 5th penalty plus the aforementioned aftermath.
