PODCAST! Arseblog & ArsenalVision – live at Ally Pally 2024
Welcome to another episode of the Arsecast – the Arsenal podcast. This episode is the audio only version of our live podcast with our friends from ArsenalVision. It was recorded live at Ally Pally Theatre on Saturday May 18th, the day before the final game of the season – so the discussion reflects that. You…

Maybe find a different keeper : Paqueta’s charge
Morning. Further to yesterday’s story linking us to Feyenoord goalkeeper Justin Bijlow, Andrew Allen did a cursory check of his injury record. Some hours later, when he had got through it all, he sent it on to me. It’s actually almost impressive in a way, take a look. The sheer range and variety of things…

Threat
Personally, I cannot get on board with picking the bones out of Arsenal’s season in terms of individual games, moments and points dropped. Over a 38-game season you’re going to drop points and I think if you’re going to pore over the borderline moments that went against you, you have to also consider the ones…

Europa League final : Lokonga to leave : Goalkeeper linked
Morning. I enjoyed last night’s Europa League final between Atalanta and Bayer Leverkusen, not because it was a brilliant game, but because it was just a game of football I could watch and not care one way or the other about who won. I have done too much caring recently, so it’s a bit of…

Manager stuff
Morning all. With Arsenal now a fairly stable club, goings-on elsewhere throughout this summer might well become a staple of the blog. It’s not that I necessarily want to write about … I dunno … Chelsea parting ways with yet another manager, it’s just stuff like that could well be the big story of the…

Arsecast Extra Episode 585 – 21.05.2024
Welcome to another Arsecast Extra, the Arsenal podcast, with myself and James from @gunnerblog. In this episode we reflect on the final day of the season, in which a 2-1 win over Everton wasn’t enough to win us the title because of what happened elsewhere. We chat about how we feel after a long, mostly…

Reflections
Good morning. I’m back in Dublin after what was an amazing weekend. I got in yesterday afternoon, had a shower, and went out for some food and a couple of drinks. It was a bit more quiet than London, which was just what the doctor ordered. Although I think the doctor would probably also order…

The morning after
The sun was shining, the mood was good – verging on buoyant – but always underpinned by a sense of reality. You thought about how David slayed Goliath, but in the back of your mind you understood that if that fight took place 100 times, 99 times David was crushed into oblivion. The atmosphere inside…

You never know!
So this is it. 37 games. 27 wins. 89 goals. 86 points. And it all comes down to the final day. It’s all fairly simple: we need to beat Everton, and we need West Ham to draw with, or beat, Man City at the Etihad. Simple. And yet. Neither thing is quite that. It’s taken…

Some Saturday thoughts …
Good morning from London. Obviously everyone’s focus is on tomorrow and the game against Everton, but I don’t want to write too much about that today. The final day thing is something Mikel Arteta has experienced before. Here he is discussing a game in which he himself was decisive, helping Rangers to pip Celtic to…
