In this episode I'm joined by Clive Palmer to chat about Arsenal going into the Interlull top of the table. We discuss how it feels so far this season, with all the pressure fromall directions, and whether it's something we feel in a different way from Mikel Arteta and the players. Also on the agenda, David Raya's pay rise and how it's part of the challenge of keeping a big squad happy, minutes so far for Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri and what's next in their development, the stories around the stadium expansion, how we view that as a project in the coming years, what it might say about the club's status, and the importance of maintaining the highest possible sporting level for it to make sense. All that, and lots more.Here's the stadium piece mentioned in the conversation - https://arseblog.news/2025/10/how-benficas-stadium-renovation-could-offer-clues-to-emirates-upgrade/EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/arseblog – Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Arsecast Extra Episode 661 - 06.10.2025
In this episode we look back at Arsenal's 2-0 win over West Ham on Saturday. We chat about excitement at seeing Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze together in midfield, but that was short lived after the captain picked up an injury. His replacement, Martin Zubimendi had a big impact, and we talk about him, Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice scoring against his former club, Bukayo Saka scoring on his 200th Premier League appearance after he took charge when we were awarded a penalty. West Ham offered very little, and we reflect on being top of the table, before we answer listener questions about the atmosphere inside the ground for these kinds of games, Viktor Gyokeres after he made it six games without a goal in a week that looked perfect for him to add to his tally, Odegaard's recent run of injuries, media coverage of our season so far, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Arsenal Women Arsecast 138: City Slicker in damaging defeat for Arsenal
In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie try to make some sense of Arsenal's 3-2 defeat away at Manchester City on Saturday and how much it can be isolated from previous disappointing results. Tim and Jamie discuss changes to the line-up, why there's so little consensus among fans about the issues in recent games and how City were more ruthless with their attacks than the Gunners. Then there are your questions submitted on BlueSky in part two about the midfield setup, how much is down to personnel and how much is tactical and whether Arsenal properly addressed their issues in the summer.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog's award winning coverage of Arsenal Women by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Episode 847 - European rotation
In this episode I'm joined by Tim Stillman to look back at Wednesday night's 2-0 win over Olympiacos. An early goal settled the nerves, but European games can be tricky, that proved to be the case here. Arsenal had chances to score, but so too did the opposition and we had David Raya to thank for keeping a clean sheet. We discuss the overall performance, some key moments, and analyse players like Martin Odegaard, Viktor Gyokeres, and Bukayo Saka, as well as chatting about how Mikel Arteta is using his deep squad so far this season. There's also some brief chat about William Saliba's new contract, refereeing standards/inconsistency, and more.EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/arseblog – Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.
