In this episode we relive the 3-2 win over Liverpool at the Emirates yesterday, discussing the team selection and Takehiro Tomiyasu at left-back; a blistering Arsenal start and an early goal from Gabriel Martinelli; Liverpool with more control in the first half but Bukayo Saka putting us in front before the break; a better second period from us even if Firmino scored, and lots of focus on our reaction to that, the bravery to go for the win, what that says about this team and cracking the aura of difficult opposition. We also chat about how much fun the team and the stadium is right now, as well as answering questions about further tests this season, the Gabriel Jesus incident involving Tsimikas and whether he should have continued, the Aubameyang video and his comments about Mikel Arteta, Ben White's post-game interviews, contract renewals for Saliba, Saka and Martinelli, and LOTS more.

In this episode we talk about a very enjoyable a 3-1 North London derby win, and three points which keep us top of the Premier League. We chat about the respective approaches of both teams, Thomas Partey's superb strike undoing Sp*rs' relentlessly negative approach, the penalty and a bit of a wobble, before a superb second half and goals from Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka sealing the win. We discuss the red card, whether we're getting enough credit for the win, before answering listener questions about Harry Kane's fouling, Ben White's form, central defensive options, Arsenal as potential title contenders, and lots more.

In this episode I chat to Rory Smith about his new book 'Expected Goals', which traces the growth of data in football and how it has influenced the game as we know it today. We talk about surprising early adopters, how players were able to skew early iterations of data, the way the use of stats is often at odds with the chaos of the game, poor communication, how things may develop in the future, and lots more – including how StatDNA put Arsenal ahead of the curve back in the day, but never really provided the kind of competitive advantage it might have.
The book is fascinating for stats advocates, and stats skeptics alike – and you can order it now from your local independent bookstore.

In this Interlull episode, we chat about the record breaking day for Arsenal Women as they beat Sp*rs 4-0, injury concerns over some of our players as we head into October, not least Thomas Partey who withdrew from the Ghana squad with a knee injury. We discuss his ongoing issues, and how Arsenal need to give it very careful consideration, as well as Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu. Then we answer listener questions about that October schedule, Raul Sanllehi's interview with The Athletic, debut goalscorers, and lots more – including some very suspect FIFA 23 graphics as we rate the entire squad based on a video.
Here's the Tweet with the question: https://twitter.com/riyanvatcha/status/1574410628605018114
Here is the YouTube video with all the squad faces! While this is allegedly Mikel Arteta.

On this month’s mailbag edition, Tim is joined by Art de Roche from the Athletic to look at Arsenal’s opening two games and look ahead to Saturday’s North London derby. Art and Tim take listener questions on the midfield structure for opponents who press hard, why WSL games are proving to be poor preparation for UWCL games, whether it is already time to expand the UWCL format and whether the WSL could be more creative in encouraging more shocks and more competitive games. Tim and Art also address the subject of squad rotation and why Spurs might be better preparation for Ajax than Brighton were. There is also a discussion about the competition between Laura Wienroither and Noelle Maritz at right-back.

We discuss the way Arsenal exerted such control and dominance over the opposition; our prowess from set-pieces as we opened the scoring from a corner; Granit Xhaka's increased creativity and an assist for Gabriel Jesus; squad depth in the shape of Fabio Vieira, who scored his first goal for the Gunners; plus a debut for 15 year old Ethan Nwaneri and what it says about the club right now. Then there are listener questions about injury concerns, Jesus walking a disciplinary tightrope, fans singing for Xhaka, William Saliba (ooooof), head slapping, and lots more.
