Episode 783 - The Final Day | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. 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 […]
Wolves go two-footed on VAR and PGMOL | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. There’s not much stirring from an Arsenal perspective this morning, so let’s begin with the story that Premier League clubs are to vote on a motion put forward by Wolves to scrap VAR. They said in a statement: After five seasons of VAR in the Premier League, it is time for a constructive […]
A final day miracle required, but ... | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. So, against my better judgement, I watched the game last night. I won’t say I was encouraged by the first half, because there’s just such a high-wire element to how Spurs play that it felt like it could go wrong at any time. Playing it out from the back is all well and […]
The 0% chance game + Miedema/Walters | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. I had a dream last night about a goalkeeper with no arms. I’m guessing it’s got something to do with how Vicario will play tonight in the game I just can’t bring myself to watch. I don’t know what I’ll do, but I can’t endure it whatever happens. If City win as easily […]

Arsecast Extra Episode 584 - 12.05.2024 | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. 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 […]
Man Utd 0-1 Arsenal: Trossard's 'Freddie' goal takes it to the final day | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video The title of yesterday’s blog was ‘Just win’, and Arsenal did exactly that. They won, just. A single Leandro Trossard goal was enough to take all three points and ensure the destination of the title goes down to the final day. I said in that […]
Just win | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
This is one of those mornings where writing a blog feels somewhat redundant. What is there to say that you don’t already know? What can I talk about in terms of how we play the game that feels more relevant than the fact we just need to win? What Man City did yesterday might have […]
Jorginho on Arteta & Havertz : Tierney's future : Brazilian Gabis | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. A few quick Saturday bits for you. Let’s start with Jorginho (again), who spoke to ESPN about Mikel Arteta’s future, and said: “I feel that he could stay way longer. I feel he feels good here and I honestly don’t see him going. It is really important for the club for him to […]
Leandro Trossard: He bangs the drum | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
‘Trossard is coming in to take someone’s place in his head, he’s not coming to – it might look like he is coming to be part of the squad, deep down like I was with [Bernd] Leno. Like I’ve come to take Leno’s pace, he’s coming to take one of the front three player’s place.’ […]
Episode 782 - The impression of calm | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Philippe Auclair to reflect on two Champions League semi-finals this week. First, Real Madrid go through at the expense of Bayern Munich, before we chat about Borussia Dortmund beating PSG – with some discussion of Kylian Mbappe and […]
Jorginho signs a new deal + summer midfield targets | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. A very quick blog for you this morning because some semblance of summer appears to have arrived in Ireland, so I’m going to play some golf while it lasts. The main story this morning is the fact Jorginho has extended his contract, although the duration of the new deal is a bit strange. […]
"It happened again" | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
So, this season’s Champions League final will take place between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid, after a late flourish from the Spanish side at the Bernebeu last night. Alphonso Davies had put Bayern ahead in the second half with a really good goal with his right foot. It was one of those where as a […]
Mats the way to do it | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. Last night’s Champions League semi-final was a fun watch for a neutral like me, even if I did have a strong preference for Borussia Dortmund over PSG. 1-0 ahead from the first leg, the Germans doubled their lead in the second half with a header from Mats Hummels, and even though PSG threw […]
Palace batter United + Havertz the perfect player for Mikel Arteta | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Like many of you, I’m sure, I watched Manchester United last night. They are our next opponents in the Premier League, our penultimate game of the season, and they were in action against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Perhaps that’s the wrong way put it. Crystal Palace were in action, I don’t really know […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 583 - 06.05.2024 | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. 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 […]
Significant Monday nonsense ... | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. There were some interesting results in the Premier League yesterday. Two teams who have still to face Man City were in action, and the ideal situation for would have been for them to enjoy confidence boosting wins ahead of those difficult fixtures. It’s fair to say it didn’t turn out that way. West […]
Arsenal 3-0 Bournemouth: Quite comfortable, a little contentious | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Match report – Player ratings – Arteta reaction – Video One more down, two to go. Yesterday’s 3-0 win over Bournemouth was one of those games that could have been won far more comfortably, but also one that could have been far more uncomfortable. Mikel Arteta named an unchanged side, and from the off they […]
Arteta has a 'good headache' ahead of Bournemouth clash | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. We’re in action early today, taking on Bournemouth at home at 12.30. Mikel Arteta revealed in his press conference yesterday that the squad has a clean bill of health, giving him a ‘good headache’ as he makes his selection for this game. The big question is whether or not Jurrien Timber is ready to […]

A stress free football week, with some laughs ... | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
I’ve watched quite a bit of football this week. After the nerve-jangling experiences of Arsenal fixtures, I think it’s about just viewing games in a zero stress environment. I had my preferences though, of course. I was glad to see Real Madrid get a late goal against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night, and it was […]
The Spirit in the Kai | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Kai Havertz arrived in England as a mystery wrapped in an enigma. His technical quality was obvious enough; but Chelsea simply did not know where to put him or how to use him. Arsenal sold Granit Xhaka last summer and responded by signing Declan Rice and Kai Havertz. Arteta pointed to Havertz’s versatility upon his […]
Episode 781 - Antics | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Sam Dean to chat about Ben White and the focus on his ‘antics’ from corners. Why the focus now? Will it force him and Arsenal to modify behaviour from set-pieces? And does it obscure discussion of his outstanding […]
Time waits for no man, not even Jesus ... | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. Let’s start with the story from James in The Athletic yesterday (£), about Gabriel Jesus. He reports that Arsenal wouldn’t rule out selling the Brazil international this summer as they look to rebuild up front, perhaps in a different way than they had envisaged due to the impact of Kai Havertz. It’s worth pointing […]
Jorginho set for new deal, and what it might mean for midfield going forward | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. Let’s start today with news via David Ornstein that Arsenal have offered Jorginho a new contract, with the expectation that the Italian international will put pen to paper on new terms. 🚨 EXCL: Arsenal offer Jorginho new contract & midfielder expected to sign it. Existing terms run until June with option for another […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 582 - 29.04.2024 | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. 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. We discuss the goals we scored, and how we exploited […]
Writing's on the wall ... | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. The dust is settling after Sunday’s derby win, and hopefully our defeated opponents are feeling sad, but fueled by a sense of injustice as they prepare for their remaining fixtures. They have five games left compared to our three, and the one that everyone has an eye on is on May 14th when they […]

North London Derby preview: Stakes are high | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
There have been some high stakes North London derbies in the past – you can go back 20 years ago this week to recollect how we won the league at White Hart Lane in the Invincibles season – but in the modern era this one is right up there. Even the game to help decide […]
Saturday round-up: Odegaard, Gabriel, Havertz | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. Let’s do a quick Saturday round-up, with some bits and pieces for you to read. First, Mikel Arteta has been speaking about Martin Odegaard, his development as a player, and his position as captain. On the latter, he says: It’s not only about him because he needs to have that role, but that […]
Flexibility breeds resilience | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Jurrien Timber marked his return from injury this week with an outstanding goal from left-back for the U23s at Ewood Park. As any sensible person knew when he injured his ACL in August, this campaign was always going to be limited to a few cameos in the dying embers of the season for Timber. An […]
Sitting and staring ... | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all, happy Friday to you. How long did you last? I switched off when Phil Foden fell over and got a free kick which he then took and scored from via a deflection. That was enough for me, as if they need any more help. I felt I didn’t need to subject myself to […]
Liverpool's defeat also a lesson for Arsenal + Guardiola on fatigue | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. I watched last night’s Merseyside derby more in hope than expectation – after all, the last time Everton beat Liverpool at home was October 17th 2010, when a certain Mikel Arteta scored their second goal in a 2-0 win. I don’t watch Liverpool enough to know if this was completely atypical of them, […]

Episode 780- Demolition Derby | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Andrew Allen to look back to Arsenal’s 5-0 demolition of Chelsea on Tuesday night. We chat about the quick opening goal which made Anne Hathaway happy, the red card Chelsea should have had, and missed chances from the […]
Chelsea preview - Timber returns - Live pod announcement | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning. We’re in Premier League action tonight, hosting Chelsea as we look to follow up the win against Wolves with three more points tonight. The challenge for Mikel Arteta and his players isn’t just an opposition side who aren’t as bad as they were earlier in the season when they held us to a 2-2 […]
VAR: What is it good for? Absolutely nothing ... | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Morning all. It’s been quite the weekend and yesterday we almost had the joy of one of the funniest results of all time. Manchester United, 3-0 up on Coventry in the 71st minute of the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, let that lead slip, conceding three goals to send the game into extra-time. Then, right […]
Arsecast Extra Episode 581 - 22.04.2024 | Arseblog ... an Arsenal blog
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. 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 […]
