In this episode we look back on the 2-0 FA Cup third round defeat to Liverpool. We analyse a first half in which Arsenal played well and did a lot right, but failed to make the most of the chances they created. It's a familiar theme, and one which came back to haunt us as late goals from the Mugsmashers condemned us to an FA Cup exit at a frustratingly early stage again. We chat about how Arsenal didn't make the most of the first half, examine the chances we could have done better with, before a much more even second half. There's discussion of substitutes and the timing of their arrivals, the goals we conceded, and the big problem that's so obvious to everyone – but is 'Buy a striker?' too simplistic a solution in January? Then we have questions about Emile Smith Rowe, defending set-pieces, xG variation, Eddie Nketiah and lots more.

In this episode we look back on the dismal end to 2023, as Arsenal put in their worst performance of the season to lose 2-1 to Fulham. We discuss the team selection, starting as well as we did and not building on it, the pace of our passing, how the manager's substitutions only made things worse in the second half, some individuals, the goals we conceded, and how quickly the table, and the mood, can change over the festive period. We also talk about whether this performance was one people saw coming or something more anomalous. Then there are questions about whether or not we can win the title, Mikel Arteta himself, Thomas Partey and his AFCON absence, set-piece/corner variation and lots more.
Happy New Year everyone.

In this episode I'm joined by Kaya Kaynak of Football London to discuss Arsenal's 2-0 defeat to West Ham on Thursday night. There's a big discussion about the shots to goals ratio in this game and others, as well as focus on the individual outputs of Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, and Bukayo Saka – and what Mikel Arteta can do to solve something that is becoming a bit of a problem. We chat about the substitutions, whether Emile Smith Rowe could be a goalscoring option, the goals Arsenal conceded against the Hammers, the ball going over the line (or not), and lots more.

In this episode we look back on the enthralling 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Saturday evening. Arsenal made a bright start and went ahead, but should the home side have had a penalty after Martin Odegaard's handball? We chat about their equaliser and how we defended, as well as all the other big incidents, the slippy pitch, Alexander-Arnold hitting the bar, solid defending by both sides, and whether or not a point is a good return from this game for us, despite what TV narratives might suggest. Then we answer some questions about Gabriel Martinelli, William Saliba, biased punditry, and a couple of festive ones too, before we play out with a musical number.
Merry Christmas everyone.

In this episode I'm joined by Andrew Allen to discuss the European Supreme Court ruling on the Super League, plus FIFA's expanded Club World Cup (backed by Arsene Wenger), what it might mean for the game and the impact it could have on players and clubs with more and more games. We then take some time to reflect on Mikel Arteta's four years in charge of Arsenal after he celebrated that anniversary this week, chatting about what he's done and what there is still to do, with a quick but on the game against Liverpool this weekend.

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim talks to Houston Dynamo's lead Video Analyst and Arsenal Women fan Carl Carpenter. There's is a small bit of discussion about the North London derby defeat (because nobody needs a deep dive on that!) then Tim and Carl go through each area of the team to review the first half of the season, including, the attack adapting to Alessia Russo upfront, the new midfield emerging underneath Little and Walti, McCabe as an inverting full-back and how a new-look defence has settled down, as well as some goalkeeper chat too. Carl and Tim also discuss how Arsenal can better deal with deep block defences.

In this episode we look back on the 2-0 win over Brighton on Sunday afternoon. We chat about the balance between Arsenal's attacking dominance and frustration that we didn't make the breakthrough more quickly, as well as the overall performance on a day when the visitors were restricted to just one good chance. There's focus on some key players, like Gabriel Jesus, Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, as well as discussion of the importance of this win on a weekend when others dropped points. We also answer listener questions about title credentials, Arteta's tactical complexity and young players, January transfer window priorities, Ben White's form and lots more.

In this episode I'm joined by James Benge of CBS Sports, and we begin with the then breaking news that Mikel Arteta's FA charge for bringing the game into disrepute etc was found to be unproven. It means the manager can resume normal duties, and we chat about aspects of the process, and some wider thoughts on the refereeing discussion and the media's role. Attention then turns to the fact Arsenal topped their Champions League group while other English clubs did the exact opposite, Arteta and young players, Declan Rice at centre-back, Emile Smith Rowe at an interesting crossroads, and lots more.

In this episode we look back on the 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday. We discuss the Villa goal, the chances that Arsenal failed to take on the evening that should have been enough to get at least a point from the game, and whether or not we did enough to break their offside trap. We also chat about substitutions and whether there's something missing from the bench when it comes to our attacking options. Then we do listener questions about Kai Havertz, Arsenal Women's big win over Chelsea, officiating again after more contentions decisions in this game and whether there's anything Mikel Arteta can do about it, our results in big away games this season, and lots more.
