Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode I'm joined BBC commentator Conor McNamara. We chat about how got into the world of commentary as a teenager, his first game being one of the most profile fixtures in the football calendar, and how work on radio and TV in Ireland led him to join the BBC in 2002. We discuss the differences between commentating on games on both those mediums, what a typical match day is like for him in terms of preparation, post-game interviews with managers, awkward moments, how things like VAR and the changing media landscape have impacted his work, advice for any aspiring commentators, and lots more.

Episode 849 - Conor McNamara

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie pick over the bones of Sunday's 1-0 win over Brighton and consider whether this is the first building block of repaired confidence or another slightly underwhelming performance. There is analysis of van Domselaar's POTM performance, adjustments Slegers made for a team low on confidence and a look at how the subs changed the game in the second half and whether some of those players deserve an expanded role. Then in the second half, Tim and Jamie answer your questions submitted on BlueSky.

Arsenal Women Arsecast 139: Always look on the Brighton side

From Bukayo Saka scoring a goal to Riccardo Calafiori having lots of shots.

Arsecast Extra Episode 662 - 12.10.2025

In this episode I'm joined by Clive Palmer to chat about Arsenal going into the Interlull top of the table. We discuss how it feels so far this season, with all the pressure from

all directions, and whether it's something we feel in a different way from Mikel Arteta and the players. Also on the agenda, David Raya's pay rise and how it's part of the challenge of keeping a big squad happy, minutes so far for Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri and what's next in their development, the stories around the stadium expansion, how we view that as a project in the coming years, what it might say about the club's status, and the importance of maintaining the highest possible sporting level for it to make sense. All that, and lots more.

Here's the stadium piece mentioned in the conversation - https://arseblog.news/2025/10/how-benficas-stadium-renovation-could-offer-clues-to-emirates-upgrade/

Episode 848 - Oh dear, we're quite good

In this episode we look back at Arsenal's 2-0 win over West Ham on Saturday. We chat about excitement at seeing Martin Odegaard and Eberechi Eze together in midfield, but that was short lived after the captain picked up an injury. His replacement, Martin Zubimendi had a big impact, and we talk about him, Riccardo Calafiori, Declan Rice scoring against his former club, Bukayo Saka scoring on his 200th Premier League appearance after he took charge when we were awarded a penalty. West Ham offered very little, and we reflect on being top of the table, before we answer listener questions about the atmosphere inside the ground for these kinds of games, Viktor Gyokeres after he made it six games without a goal in a week that looked perfect for him to add to his tally, Odegaard's recent run of injuries, media coverage of our season so far, and lots more.

Arsecast Extra Episode 661 - 06.10.2025

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie try to make some sense of Arsenal's 3-2 defeat away at Manchester City on Saturday and how much it can be isolated from previous disappointing results. Tim and Jamie discuss changes to the line-up, why there's so little consensus among fans about the issues in recent games and how City were more ruthless with their attacks than the Gunners. Then there are your questions submitted on BlueSky in part two about the midfield setup, how much is down to personnel and how much is tactical and whether Arsenal properly addressed their issues in the summer.

Arsenal Women Arsecast 138: City Slicker in damaging defeat for Arsenal

In this episode I'm joined by Tim Stillman to look back at Wednesday night's 2-0 win over Olympiacos. An early goal settled the nerves, but European games can be tricky, that proved to be the case here. Arsenal had chances to score, but so too did the opposition and we had David Raya to thank for keeping a clean sheet. We discuss the overall performance, some key moments, and analyse players like Martin Odegaard, Viktor Gyokeres, and Bukayo Saka, as well as chatting about how Mikel Arteta is using his deep squad so far this season. There's also some brief chat about William Saliba's new contract, refereeing standards/inconsistency, and more.

Episode 847 - European rotation

On this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie pick over the bones of Saturday's disappointing 1-1 draw with Aston Villa. There is discussion of Arsenal's ball progression issues without Leah Williamson, how the Gunners struggled to play through Villa's pressure, as well as whether there is a psychological issue at play too with Renee Slegers suggesting the players relaxed due to the early goal. In part 2, Tim and Jamie take your questions on Bluesky around squad utilisation and looking ahead to a huge week with games against Manchester City and Lyon.

Arsenal Women Arsecast 137: Villa with the stoppage time killer

In this episode we look back at Arsenal's 2-1 win over Newcastle at St James' Park on Sunday. We chat about how well the Gunners played in the first half, the Viktor Gyokeres penalty incident, our response to that set-back, as well as the goal we conceded and how that impacted the game. There's also discussion of how we turned the game around with two late goals, once again with impact from the bench, the quality of Gabriel from set-pieces, and just how important this result was in the context of this season so far – for the team and fans alike. In part two we have listener questions about Gyokeres, towels, Jurrien Timber, Eze and Odegaard, and loads more besides.

Arsecast Extra Episode 660 - 29.09.2025

In this episode I'm joined by Kaya Kaynak of Tifo (The Athletic) to look back on Wednesday night's relatively uneventful EFL Cup win over Port Vale. We chat about the goals, including a first one for the club by Eberechi Eze, and the overall performance – but try to put it into context in various ways. We then chat about Max Dowman; Leandro Trossard as a 'super sub'; Viktor Gyokeres and his start to life at Arsenal; whether some of the discourse around the team in the early part of the season is entirely fair; a new contract for William Saliba and what that says about his belief in the club's ability to compete; and lots more besides.
