Arseblog - The Arsecasts, Arsenal Podcasts

On this week's show festive edition of the show we look at the rather enjoyable 2-1 win over Man City last night, what it means for our title ambitions, the performances of Theo Walcott, Joel Campbell and Mesut Ozil, and all the other associated guff from the match. We then answer listeners questions about Laurent Koscielny, Petr Cech's headgear, injury problems and close the show with a number that should probably have us locked up for crimes against music, but if you can't forgive us terrible singing at Christmas when can you?  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this week's show James and I provide live reaction to the Champions League draw which sees us face Barcelona again. It's nice to get an easy one now and again.

On this week's podcast I'm joined by Tim Clark from Arse2Mouse to discuss Champions League qualification, Olivier Giroud, Joel Campbell, January transfer activity, and why we both think this is a league season set up for Arsenal success. We hear from the Angriest Man on Twitter, there's all the usual waffle, and a priceless, informative podcasting tutorial for anyone interested in starting their own show.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this week's show James and I discuss the 3-1 win over Sunderland at the weekend, looking at the performance, the line-up and how that might have affected the way we played. There's praise for Petr Cech, Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey, and some discussion of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after his first start since the 2-1 win over Everton in October. We then answer listener questions about potential January transfer moves, Hector Bellerin's recent form, who should take our penalties in the absence of Santi Cazorla, and pledge to make a podcast every day for a year if we find a kindly benefactor, or an Indecent Proposal style one, we're not that fussy.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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. I chat to the man from East Lower about which of our players will live and die, and who might actually be able to play football before we talk about the inevitability of January transfer moves. There's all the usual waffle, and a chance for you to win goodies from our friends at Savile Rogue.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

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? We also answer listener questions about Mikel Arteta, how we might replace Coquelin in the short-term, our constant injury problems, syrup sweat and rabid squirrels. It's all in there for you today.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After that we answer listener questions about Alexis Sanchez, the best penalty takers, a rotten choice for fourth place, another thing to divide us as the schism grows ever larger, and terrifying creatures that are terrifying. Not only that we've got some prizes to give away in our first Savile Rogue competition of the year  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Time then for this week's Arsecast and after a 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich I try and talk about that as little as possible. All the same Goonerholic joins me for some European discussion and a look ahead to the North London derby on Sunday.
