There's some Benjamin Sesko watch after Slovenia's draw with Denmark, some questions about the transfer market and what direction we might go in after his decision to stay at Leipzig – could we test Newcastle's mettle for a player that might fit the bill?

In this episode we reflect on the final day of the season, in which a 2-1 win over Everton wasn't enough to win us the title because of what happened elsewhere. We chat about how we feel after a long, mostly enjoyable campaign, but without the success everyone had hoped for, as well as contextualising Man City's fourth successive title and what it means for the Premier League as a competition. We have some listener questions about Emile Smith Rowe, whether or not it's realistic to think we can raise the level again next season, Cedric the werewolf, and lots more.

In this episode I'm joined by Tim Stillman to chat about the idea of rivalry in the wake of Man City beating Spurs, and whether that's something managers should pay attention to. We also discuss Mikel Arteta's influence on this Arsenal team and how fans bought into his communication, in contrast to how Tottenham fans reacted to Ange Postecoglou's comments. Then we consider the final day of the season, and how we've pushed City all the way with the outside chance of still winning the league.
Then Tim reflects on the Arsenal career of Vivianne Miedema who's departure was announced this week, as well as some chat about that decision, how it came to pass, and what might happen on the final day of the season.

Thu, 16 May 2024 - 1h 13min - 1494 - Arsecast Extra Episode 584 - 12.05.2024
In this episode recorded not long after the game, we look back at Arsenal's 1-0 win over Man Utd at Old Trafford on Sunday. It wasn't a great performance, but Leandro Trossard's first half goal was enough for all three points and to keep the title push going until the final day. We chat about why the attacking performance was so inhibited, but there's praise for the way we defended against a United side that offered little to threaten us. Underlying it all though, was a sense of pre-game dread, and we discuss that, and the prospect of the final day, as well as answering listener questions about Spurs game against Man City on Tuesday, William Saliba, and much more.

On this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim is joined by Arseblog News match reporter Aidan Gibson. They discuss the win over Manchester City and how it feels to give Chelsea a lifeline back into the WSL title race, then there is in-depth discussion about the futures of Vivianne Miedema and Stina Blackstenius, whose current contracts expire in the summer. Tim and Aidan then talk about the other profiles of player Arsenal might need this summer, especially given their goal scoring record which has been far inferior to Chelsea and Manchester City this season. They discuss whether 25 players is too many for a season and the consistent rotation of the number 10 position and whether it needs greater clarity.

Thu, 09 May 2024 - 58min - 1491 - Arsecast Extra Episode 583 - 06.05.2024
In this episode we look back on the 3-0 win over Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. The Gunners produced a dominant first half, but it was a late first half penalty that gave us the lead at the break. We analyse the key moments of the opening 45, from the potential red card to the missed chances to the award of the spot kick. Then we look at a second half where Leandro Trossard scored again, but was there a touch of good fortune about Bournemouth's disallowed goal which would have made the game more uncomfortable? Declan Rice's performance merited a goal and he got it late on, and we also answer listener questions about whether he should be used as an 8 more than a 6, potential changes to the coaching staff, the Gabriel Jesus story James wrote last week, some #ANGEOUT, and lots more.

And does it obscure discussion of his outstanding quality and consistency as a footballer? We also talk about Gabriel Jesus amid reports around his future, Oleksandr Zinchenko perhaps being more 'at risk' of a departure, the new contract offered to Jorginho and what that means for the summer, as well as chat about proposed new financial rules in the Premier League, games being held in the US, and lots more – including details of our donation to UNICEF.

In this episode we look back on the eventful 3-2 win in the North London derby on Sunday. Despite not being at our best, we were 3-0 up at the break, and we discuss the goals we scored, and how we exploited the lack of opposition preparation and awareness – particularly from set-pieces. Ben White and Declan Rice had some fun in that regard. We also chat about the chances they had up the other end, including a disallowed goal, before moving onto the second half. There's focus on David Raya's mistake and the reaction to it from him and his teammates, conceding the late penalty and how it made for an awful, nerve-wracking last 10 minutes, but underlying it all is the fact we won, took three points, and Spurs have crap trumpets. Then there are listener questions about Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka's reaction to abuse from the stands, Thomas Partey's future and lots more.

We also look at how we were more solid in the second half, with two goals from Kai Havertz and Ben White – with the former Chelsea man celebrating his strikes with gusto. There's discussion of how Havertz has grown into this team, the Martin Odegaard performance, the significance of the result, and lots more.

In this episode we look back on the 2-0 win at Wolves on Saturday evening which put us back on top of the Premier League. We discuss how Arsenal had to dig deep after a difficult week, but put in a performance that belied the tired legs, despite the fact we had to wait until late to seal the three points. We chat about Leandro Trossard's goal, whether Wolves should have had a red card, David Raya's excellent save, and how Mikel Arteta asked a lot of key men like Odegaard, Rice and Saka and how they delivered. Then we answer questions about goals from set-pieces, which position should be prioritised in the summer transfer window, how the manager rotates his squad (or chooses not to), and lots more – including details of our end of season live podcast event with our friends from the ArsenalVision podcast.

Once again, the second half was below par and we paid the price. We examine the reasons as to why that has been an issue in our last two games, and what Mikel Arteta can do about it in terms of his squad building going forward. There's chat about fatigue and heavy legs, the players we brought on from the bench and the players who stayed on it, what we can learn from this European campaign, how this collective probably needs a smattering of individualism for big games like last night, the striker discussion, and lots more.

In this episode we look back at the 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday which, despite being our first loss of 2024, has caused a significant amount frustration and disappointment.

Then we have listener questions about football terminology, players shifting positions in-game, why it is we concede so often to the opposition's first chance, Albert Sambi Lokonga, and lots more.

Tim talks to Aman about her career, her route into football from her childhood in Southampton and how she got to Arsenal, idolising David Seaman, her scholarship to Tennessee, her career ending due to a knee injury and subsequent work with Kick It Out and the FA and her drift away from football to open an Indian restaurant in Canada.

In this episode we look back on Saturday's 5-0 win over Crystal Palace. There's discussion of Arsenal's set-piece prowess as that dominated the first half talking points, and the balance between being good at them and reliant on them. There were three open play goals in the second half, with confidence boosts for Trossard and Martinelli, and we also chat about the performance in general and how much we can take from it against a poor Palace side. We also talk about the substitutes, in particular Emile Smith Rowe getting substantial minutes, plus questions about Gabriel Magalhaes and his impact since signing, David Raya having an important moment, set-piece signals, and lots more.

We also answer listener questions about who might come to life in the second half of the season, the January transfer window, selling Smith Rowe to fund a signing, as well as the player ratings game, some Magpie facts, and lots more.

Thu, 11 Jan 2024 - 1h 02min - 1447 - Arsecast Extra Episode 562 - 08.01.2024
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In this episode we look back on the dramatic 4-3 win over Luton at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday evening. There is focus on the late, great winner from Declan Rice, but also discussion of how we found ourselves needing to find that goal in the first place. David Raya is in the spotlight again after he was found wanting for two goals and we chat about this team's ability to keep going right until the death to find a way to salvage points that looked like they might be lost. And how does this reflect on Arsenal's title aspirations?! There are inevitable questions about the keepers, but is there a bigger one to be asked? Plus questions about injuries at the back and squad depth there, the need for that 25 goal a season striker, the captaincy, Arteta's use of subs in this game, and lots more.

In this episode we look back on the 2-1 win over Wolves, a scoreline that doesn't really reflect the way the game went, but one which we sort of inflicted upon ourselves. We chat about the bright start, goals from Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard setting us on our way, but how we didn't have quite the same attacking efficiency as the midweek game against Lens. There's discussion of the yin and yang of Oleksandr Zinchenko, opportunities to score more goals, plus questions about a return to form for the captain and his influence on our attack, how this season is different by design, Arsenal picking up fewer yellow cards, a left-field (8) question about Gabriel Jesus and lots more.

After that we talk about Mikel Arteta's reaction, and there are questions about whether that and the club statement might have a negative impact, the way VAR has changed the way the game is covered, as well as actual football stuff including Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ben White, Bukayo Saka, signing a winger, and lots more.

We then discuss some things which weren't quite as good, including Martin Odegaard's dip in form, David Raya's short passing, and Eddie Nketiah's substitute performance – but it's easier to chat about those things with three very good points in our back pocket.

discussing all the big incidents including the penalty that Cole Palmer shouldn't have been on the pitch to score, a half-time change by Mikel Arteta, Mudryk's fluke of a goal, substitutions that helped us, goalkeeping mistakes – the worst of which came from Robert Sanchez, but there's more to that goal than an error. Plus Saka comes to life late on, Trossard's exceptional movement, showing character versus a poor display overall, plus questions about post-Interlull Martin Odegaard, the missing piece in midfield, why we're not as fluent in attack this season, Takehiro Tomiyasu, punditry, and lots more.

We also chat about Declan Rice and his influence for big games, the fabled 'left 8', how the forward line might be rejigged in the windows ahead, William Saliba and our ability to cope without him this season, the goalkeepers, and lots more.

Fri, 13 Oct 2023 - 53min - 1418 - Arsenal Women Arsecast Episode 71: October mailbag
On this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim is joined by Aidan Gibson to field listener questions on the goalkeeping situation and whether Arsenal need to settle on either Sabrina D'Angelo or Manu Zinsberger as number 1, the defence and how long it might take for the defensive unit to settle down having introduced two new signings into the equation this season, Arsenal switching between a back three and a back four and whether there is a distinct enough style under Jonas Eidevall, as well as questions on Arsenal's record at the Emirates and Jonas Eidevall's new contract.
