On this episode I'm joined by Ryan Hunn to discuss the incredible 2-1 win over Wolves on Thursday night. We chat about a poor start, resulting in exactly the kind of game scenario we didn't want, as well as some missed chances for the visitors. The conversation then turns to Arsenal overcoming the stats to produce late turnaround which feels really significant. Nicolas Pepe came on to equalise, Alexandre Lacazette's winner might officially be an own goal but he deserves credit for his impact on what was a difficult night for him otherwise. We also talk about what this victory means for a young team that's learning and growing together, the midfield options which are proving invaluable, a show of character and lots more.There's also a late, Lacazette-style cameo from James after the final music, so stay tuned.Follow Ryan @ryanhunnIf you want to become an Arseblog Member on Patreon, you can sign up at patreon.com/arseblog for just €5 per month.

In this episode James and I discuss the 2-1 win over Brentford on Saturday, a game where the scoreline definitely did not tell the full story.

We also examine our top four chances, before answering listener questions about Lacazette's role as centre-forward, whether we can get all the 'Fab Four' in the team at the same time and how, Martin Odegaard, Champions League coming too soon, and much more – including James' singing songs to his dog and a lot of journalists.And if you haven't seen it, here's the amazing work from @SebbyV21 - https://twitter.com/SebbyV21/status/1494465787733716993Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

It's transfer deadline day so the focus of this episode is transfers, in particular the lack of them.

In this episode we discuss the 3-0 win over Southampton on Saturday. After a shaky start we scored a breathtaking goal to spark us into life, and set us on the way to three points. We chat about that kind of goal and the way you have to play to score it, Martin Odegaard grabbing his third in three games, a hugely impressive second half, and ponder the stark difference between our home and away form this season. In the second half there's a big discussion about the Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang situation, what happened and why, how it became public, and what happens next. There are also questions about strikers, the pecking order, potential January business, the captaincy, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Santi Cazorla and loads more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we discuss the 2-1 defeat to Everton at Goodison Park. We talk about the team selection, the return of Granit Xhaka, and the terrible first half performance, even though we went in a goal up. There's a long discussion about our inability to create chances and the way Mikel Arteta instructs his team to play, as well as real focus on his substitutions and the decisions he made which had such a big impact on the game. What now for Aubameyang and Pepe? We chat about the goals we conceded, our position in the table, and why the last two games have felt so damaging.
