Arseblog - The Arsecasts, Arsenal Podcasts

On this week's show discuss the FA Cup quarter-final win over Lincoln City, the sad case of Lucas Perez, terrible commentary and punditry, and who we might draw in the cup semi-finals. We then answer listener questions about Mesut Ozil's role in the team and the midfield set-up, protests and planes, Aaron Ramsey belting in a goal from close range, and lots more before we finish with a chat about the most important issue of all – the best bar snacks.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

it's another long one so prep your ears. I'm joined by James Olley of the Evening Standard to talk Bayern, Wenger, Gazidis, Kroenke and more, before we get some perspective on Saturday's FA Cup quarter-final from Richie Bates, an Arsenal fan who also happens to be Commercial Director with Lincoln City. I'm then joined by Clive Palmer to chat more about the current situation at the club, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, the Arsenal environment and plenty more besides. There's a chunk of the usual waffle, as well as the winner of the Kick Off Revival game from last week.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this week's show we try and get to grips with the fall-out from the Alexis Sanchez stuff over the weekend. The team selection, the training ground bust-up, the source of the story, the consequences it had for the team and the manager, and ultimately the 3-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield. The questions are mostly about the future direction of the club, the players, and Arsene Wenger, and we touch on the board, their responsibility (or lack of), a ludicrous suggestion from Josh Kroenke and more. It's a bit of an epic so strap in, and enjoy.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

We then touch on the 15th birthday of the site, left-backs and whether Luke Shaw might be an option this summer, some of the changes in the game for good and bad, and finish up by discussing which condiments and sauces are appropriate with chips.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week's Arsecast was a little bit experimental. Sound and technology issues meant that my co-host for the evening, Andrew Allen, makes only a very brief appearance as I field calls from Arsenal fans from all over the world to discuss the goings-on, the ins, the outs, the shake it all abouts, the manager, players, transfers, media landscape, and lots more. There's also a fantastic recipe for soup.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Time now for this week's Arsecast and given the week that's in it, there was really only one topic of discussion: the Bayern result and what it means for Arsene Wenger. To get some differing perspectives on it, I'm joined by James from Gunnerblog, Daniel Storey from Football 365, chief football writer for the Independent Miguel Delaney, and the Man from East Lower. We talk about the manager, his future, the structures of the football club, the board, and pretty much every aspect of the situation.

With Bayern Munich in midweek there are questions about Mesut Ozil and the possible team selection for this one, talk of succession plans, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's role in midfield, Hector Bellerin, and we end the show by wondering what to feed ducks and how to make pigeons explode.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
