Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we do a weekend catch-up before talking about William Saliba and France, Bukayo Saka and England in the context of some of the back pages – plus a couple of questions about whether not he could/should play in […]

Morning all. It looks like William Saliba had a good game for France in a 0-0 draw with Canada. Whether a 0-0 draw with Canada is a good result for France, that’s another question, but it’s definitely not a 1-0 loss to Iceland, I suppose. The other question is whether or not a performance like […]

Hello. Some quick Sunday bits. First, a goal for Brazil for Gabriel Martinelli as they warmed up for the Copa America with a game against Mexico – watch it here. Our man put them 2-0 up. It went to 2-2, before a late Endrick goal provided some Euphoria as he made it 3-2. It’s fair […]

Morning all. Not a lot going on this morning, but Arsenal’s Player of the Season – as voted by supporters – was revealed to be Martin Odegaard. It’s the second successive season he has won it, and I don’t think anyone can argue that he doesn’t deserve it. He’s such an example to the rest […]

Morning. Let’s do a few Friday bits. In a week dominated by the finances of one big club, David Ornstein reports in The Athletic (£) that the Premier League failed to close a loophole which allows clubs to sell assets in their portfolio to offset losses/financial fair play breaches. This was in focus because the […]

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Charles Watts to discuss the latest transfer stories, including Benjamin Sesko’s reportedly imminent decision about his own future, what might happen in midfield and how much that depends on who stays and what Declan Rice’s role is next […]

After 15 goals and five assists in 36 Premier League appearances (34 of them starts) in 2022-23, there is no denying that Gabriel Martinelli’s output and performances in 2023-24 felt a little anti-climactic. Six goals and four assists in this campaign felt meagre and a little unexpected after a truly breakout 2022-23. There are caveats, […]

Morning. Perhaps the last thing anyone needs this morning is to read more about Man City, but I do recommend this piece in The Guardian by Barney Ronay. He hits so many nails on so many heads it’s hard to pick out one bit, but I think this about sums it up: There are no […]

Just when you thought you couldn’t dislike Man City anymore than you already do, news has emerged of their ‘legal assault‘ on the Premier League. The club with 115 charges levelled against it by the same organisation are, in essence, demanding financial compensation because they say they have been denied revenue/income because of associated party […]

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we begin with the downfall of the dinosaurs, before moving on to the latest from the transfer market – focusing on Arsenal’s interest in Benjamin Sesko. We chat about whether or not this is a deal that could […]
