Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog.

We start with discussion of team selection informed by injury, the early chances for Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka, and […]

Morning all, it’s Carabao Cup final day. It’s our first final since the FA Cup in 2020, and that was not a normal one as no fans were permitted in the stadium that day. It ended well, obviously, but it’s one that feels like it kind of belongs to a different era. Only one player […]

Morning all. Let’s have a quick Saturday round-up, because while obviously the focus is tomorrow’s Carabao Cup final, and Mikel Arteta held his press conference yesterday, it’s too soon to preview that game. There’s no point in me weighing in today on the David Raya/Kepa debate, although if you’ve listened the preview podcast on Patreon […]

Maybe I shouldn’t be typing these words ahead of Sunday but Arsenal and the League Cup is generally not a happy marriage. The Gunners have only won the trophy twice in their history, most recently 33 years ago. Since Arsenal last hoisted the trophy with three handles, they have won the FA Cup nine times. […]

Morning all. In a season of high stress and no little anxiety, maybe yesterday and today were/are a chance to stop and breathe a bit. I watched some of the Champions League action yesterday, and after doing well in the first leg, Newcastle got absolutely slaughtered by Barcelona who won 7-2 on the night. I […]

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Andrew Allen to discuss Arsenal’s progression to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after a 2-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday evening. We chat about the response to the first leg, Eberechi Eze’s brilliant goal and growing […]

There were starts for Ben White at right-back, Leandro Trossard came back in on the left hand side, and Piero Hincapie slotted in at left-back. The visitors started […]
