Footballistically Arsenal

Boyd is joined this week by friend of the podcast Oli Shorts as they reflect the two massive wins versus Chelsea and Man Utd. The duo discuss the good and the bad of Nuno Tavares and the undeniable resurgence of Granit Xhaka and quite how close we are to hearing the Champions League anthem at the Emirates again next season. arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2022 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd & Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Alan Alger to search for crumbs of comfort after another bleak result, this time on the south coast at the hands of Southampton. A mammoth week ahead for the Gunners with games against Chelsea and Man United that will dictate the course of the season and whether big European nights could yet be returning to the Emirates next season. We just need to score goals and our expected goals rating suggests they may be coming… though it seemingly relies on having an average striker.  Thanks for listening and we hope you enjoy the podcast. arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2022 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Alan Alger, to recap the defeat to Liverpool but a huge win to get back on track against Aston Villa. Boyd sadly couldn’t see our best opportunity of the game to score against Liverpool despite being taken in a box by Amazon Prime, but he did spot some lip reading from Villa Park that went viral. We chat about the continued race for fourth spot, give Leno credit on his Arsenal League return, ponder why Steve Gerrard was so spiky and enjoy the new Arsenal chant about Super Mick Arteta.  Thanks for listening, enjoy the International Break and we’ll be back in two weeks time! arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2022 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Leicester were sluggish but Arsenal were took full advantage with a gloriously dominant display where victory seemed inevitable from the opening minutes. We chat about the race for fourth spot, Boyd’s Amazon Prime VIP Treatment, Odegaard’s talent and what a positive result against Liverpool would mean for the rest of the season. We’re in title winning form… long may it continue! arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2022 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast and twitter legend Geoff Arsenal, to reflect on an important victory at Vicarage Road as Arsenal’s march to the top four continues.  Can Boyd shed any light on the Arsenal Red Shorts and Socks mystery that has flummoxed all Arsenal fans?  Is Odegaard starting to show what a bargain he was? Is he a future Arsenal captain and is Arteta the greatest ballboy the world has ever seen. Thanks for listening and we we’ll be back after our game against Leicester! arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2022 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Jim ‘East Lower’ to reflect on one of the great endings to any Emirates Stadium game with a last gasp victory over Wolves. A rejuvenated Pepe, a brilliant cameo from Nketiah and leading from the front from Lacazette. The road to fourth took a big step forward. There’s also reflection on the price increases for tickets at Arsenal and a nod to a rumoured Stella McCartney partnership. Thanks for listening and we we’ll be back after our trip to Vicarage Road on Sunday. arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2022 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast, marketing guru Nick True, who is back after nearly a year away to lavish praise on Mikel Arteta. The Gunners swept aside Brentford in a one sided 2-1 victory that takes Arsenal a step closer to hopes of a top four finish, albeit tougher tests lie in wait. We discussed the strain on Lacazette, the future of the armband and the risk the Gunners are building themselves up to fail.  Ultimately we’re all getting a bit excited.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Ricky Lawrence as the trio discuss the ever increasing chances of a fourth placed finish and could there soon be a return to Champions League nights. What of Martinelli’s strange red card at Wolves and the ongoing theory of conspiracy against the Gunners? Have Arsenal left themselves too light for the final third of the season?  Brentford, Wolves and Watford lie in wait next - an opportunity to be in pole position for fourth spot - dare we yet believe? arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2022 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Alan Alger to reflect on a difficult week in North London as Arsenal Cara-bow out against Liverpool before a goalless draw against bottom side Burnley hugely dents top four hopes. Alan has the data to suggest the focus should not be on Arteta extending his contract whilst a threadbare squad leaves questions over a lack of reinforcements. Alan also explains what he understands about the recent betting scandal story concerning a suspect yellow card, whilst Boyd is still unhappy about the very long queues!

Boyd and Josh were joined by friends of the podcast Dan ‘the voice of Arsenal’ Roebuck and Ricky Lawrence to reflect on a brilliant effort at Anfield and the strange fallout from the lack of a North London Derby against Spurs. Are Arsenal in the right? Does anyone have the right to question our club over anyone else? Has the fanbase been this united in many years? Also, we touch upon if the Gunners ensure their good work at Liverpool is not in vain with Carabao Cup success this week. Will we have a Wembley final to look forward to come four days time.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Gareth ‘The Bear’ Parker after the significant disappointment of an FA Cup exit at the hands of Nottingham Forest. Arsenal’s season came back to earth with a bump at the City Ground as Arsenal were deservedly dumped out the Cup at the hands of Nottingham Forest. It was a tough call as to which player was least impressive, but Tavares getting hooked so early may stick in the memory on a day when Arsenal importantly wore white shirts to mark a big anti knife campaign with Adidas. No more Red. Could it be a blessing in disguise as Arsenal hunt down fourth spot. What will happen at Anfield and with the trip to Spurs this Sunday? Will the season full apart of be much repaired in a weeks time? arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2022 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Ari Last for what was meant to be be a pre Carabao Cup Semi Final podcast but COVID put pay to that. The Man City result may be a few days old, but we reflect on a hugely encouraging performance that will only add to the unity of the fanbase.  What was the impact of Arteta being absent and how does he get phone signal to ring the bench? How long will Xhaka be making this kind of impact on the team and what new striker scenario may arise this January? arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2022 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Oli Shorts to reflect on a very pleasing first half of the season. A Carabao triumph and a five star performance at Norwich make for positive festive feelings amongst the Arsenal fanbase. We chat about Nketiah’s future, Xhaka’s refreshingly honest interview and cast an eye to the summer and possible transfer ambitions. We reflect on the first 19 League games and our players of the season so far and where feel it’ll all end come May. arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2021 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast and Twitter legend Geoff Arsenal to reflect on two superb victories that leave Arsenal holding onto what would have seemed an unlikely fourth place for Christmas, earlier in the season.  The trio discuss why this team is so popular with the fanbase, the glorious form of our young Brazilian Martinelli, how good this squad may be in the years to come and what do with a problem like Aubameyang. arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2021 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Ricky Lawrence for an immediate reaction to defeat at Goodison Park. There was no 'snail' chat this week to boost morale after two successive defeats on the road, where Arsenal threw away points in an all too familiar fashion having taken the lead yet again. Do we remain in a battle for fourth spot or are we back concentrating on any European qualification and nothing more? What do we do with a problem like Auba and what has Pepe done to deserve being ghosted quite so strongly? Lenny Beige and his stable of freakish acts return for their annual Xmas show.

Boyd and Josh were joined by chocolatier Oliver Shorts for a rare Sunday night podcast. Boyd’s Breakfast Party of Snails and Omelettes makes for an unusual start to the podcast but before long the trio settle down to talk business and victory over Newcastle.  Odegaard’s inclusion didn’t prove to be what many would have hoped for, but credit is given to Arteta after a fine performance from Tavares and Lokonga whom the manager stuck by. A huge trip to Manchester awaits, likely against a new manager. A positive result would be huge statement. Lenny Beige and his stable of freakish acts return for their annual Xmas show. Still the funniest and weirdest cabaret show in London, offending people since 1994!  Tables seat 4 people, so larger bookings will be next to each other but not on one table.  VIP Tickets include front of stage seats, pre show meet and greet with Lenny before the show and a free gift!  Also a small number of standing tickets at the bar available, get tickets here: https://billetto.co.uk/e/the-r
