In April 1971, when his team stood on the precipice of a historic league and FA Cup double, Bertie Mee, a manager driven by traditional values even by 1970s standards, supposedly told his players, ‘Just for the next few weeks, I want you to put your families second.’ He recognised the enormity of what his […]

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined first by Lewis Ambrose to discuss the Arsenal players who went away during the Interlull, and how that might benefit them and us. We start with Viktor Gyokeres whose goals helped fire Sweden to the World Cup, before the […]

Morning all. Let’s start this morning with Arsenal Women who are through the semi-finals of the Champions League after an aggregate 3-2 win over Chelsea. It seems there was drama, with the Chelsea manager enraged by a hair-pulling incident involving Katie McCabe late on, which saw Sonia Bompastor red carded. She was so furious, she […]

Morning. It’s still all about the injuries and the Interlull this morning. Let’s start with Kai Havertz who played one half of Germany’s 2-1 win over Ghana, and scored a penalty just before the break to put his side 1-0 up. We all have our fears about players going away, but he – along with […]

Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we take stock of what the Arsenal players have been up to, or not up to, during the Interlull. There are possible injuries, but also some withdrawals that are probably more about common sense. We discuss the players […]

Morning all. It’s all about the withdrawals this morning, as a clutch of Arsenal players who were supposed to be involved for their countries have returned to north London. First up, after Noni Madueke had be taken off in the first half of England’s 1-1 draw with Uruguay, it was announced he’d be returning, along […]

We lost the hour last night. That’s not a complete explanation for why the blog is later than usual this morning, but it’s part of it. I can’t tell you exactly how much, because I’m not a mathematician. If I were, I be sitting here this morning writing about linear algebra and trying my hardest […]

Morning all, here’s a quick Interlull round-up for you. It was an eventful night for Ben White who, according to reports, was booed when introduced as a second half sub for England in their 1-1 draw against Uruguay last night. Not unexpected, I guess, but still lame. Then he scored a goal, that should win […]

Eberechi Eze’s calf injury feels symptomatic of Arsenal’s season in attack. Every time one of the Gunners’ attacking or creative players threatens to hit something approaching a groove, injury tends to hit. In the Premier League so far this season, Bukayo Saka has played just over 71% of the minutes available, making him the most […]

Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. In this episode I’m joined by Clive Palmer to take stock of where we are after the Carabao Cup final, and how we try and process that defeat as we look ahead to what remains of the season. We discuss what it is Mikel […]
