Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

To look ahead to this weekend's clash with Leicester City I'm joined by former Gunner Adrian Clarke. I ask him how these Leicester players will be feeling, sitting top of the table; what Arsene Wenger's approach to the game will be to try and win but not fall into their counter-attacking trap; as well as what the manager will do in midfield and centre-half where he has selection decisions to make. I discuss Arsenal's summer trip to the USA, and there's all the usual space-based waffle in there too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We recorded this week's show immediately after the 2-0 win over Bournemouth, so we discuss that, the goals from Ozil and Oxlade-Chamberlain, Flamini's ridiculous challenge, and the ticket price stories at Arsenal and Liverpool this week. Then we answer listener questions about Gabriel and Per Mertesacker, Petr Cech's continuing influence, which players would be best with their wrong foot, and we get a bit sad over the latest injury to Tomas Rosicky.

On this week's show I provide my own theory as to Mourinho's sacking – and in typical Mourinho style he made a bollix of this too. I had recorded earlier in the day with Jim Campbell from The Football Ramble, and we'd had a good natter about the not-so-special one and his ongoing strife at Chelsea. Then he gets canned and renders all that glorious audio redundant. Still, we chat Leicester, Man City, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil, transfers and much more. We're also at home with Abramovic; there's a chance for you to win goodies from Savile Rogue; some Christmas present recommendations; and all the usual waffle too Hosted on Acast.

In this injury hit episode I twang some ankle ligaments, wrench a hamstring, pull a calf (muscle, you filthy minded swines), but thankfully have no groin problems to discuss.

On this week's show we discuss the weekend defeat to West Brom and the injury to Francis Coquelin which has caused much angst – even if the duration of his absence has not yet been confirmed. Was the loss a hammer blow for our title chances, or is a damaged Coq going to cause us more problems in the long-run?
