A very creditable 2-2 draw at Anfield. Mental strength and resilience to the fore. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look back on the game, some individual performances, not to mention some odd crowd behaviour from the locals. We also look ahead to the final home game of the season and the visit of Newcastle. Somewhat of our bogey team this season, wouldn't it be lovely to sign off with a win. But who have we got left to actually start the game? With a possible 9 first teamers missing, are we finally grateful for the plethora of left backs we have, as we could see as many as four of them play! There is also a little quiz - name the starting 11 for Arsene Wenger's final match as Arsenal manager, 7 years ago today.Please follow and rate us wherever you get your pods.

Luis Enrique has been the best manager in the world this season and he has remade this team in his image and achieved incredible success. They have to go through the 3-time champions Inter to lift the trophy, and remarkably, it's the first time these teams have ever met in official competition.The goalkeepers have been stars in the semifinals. Yann Sommer made a couple of mind-blowing saves on Lamine Yamal of Barcelona, Gianluigi Donnarumma turned into Superman as soon as he saw the English flag again and also stood on his head to lead PSG. I disagree with Mikel Arteta when he says that Arsenal were the better team in the competition, but I do think he's getting unfairly dragged in the media. He took a team without a healthy #9 as far as he could this season. They have to get that position right to compete with the best in England and in Europe. He's one of the best managers in the world today, give him the right squad to truly give him a chance to win a major trophy, I don't think he's had that yet and has done as much as he could.MLS won 15 of the 16 Round of 32 matches in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup over the past two days. The Pittsburgh Riverhounds needed a stoppage time goal to upset NYCFC to keep it from being a clean sweep. Philadelphia needed penalties to get past Indy Eleven, multiple games needed extra time, Austin was 2-0 down at home to El Paso but stormed back to win 3-2. Good news on the business front for MLS as well, their sponsorship revenues are up double digits in 2025 compared to the same timeframe in 2024. 5 clubs were named in Sportico's Most Valuable Soccer Clubs in the World's Top 20, with 19 clubs making the Top 50, the most of any league in the world. While revenues aren't matching the top European clubs at the moment, security of the format along with top-notch infrastructure and ownership collaboration and cooperation have given MLS clubs a strong floor from which to grow their valuations. Arsene Wenger made the news yesterday, saying that his proposed change to the offside rule is imminent. Based on the way these rules have been altered in the past, that's not true. The trials of the new rule (essentially going from if any part of the body is offside then it's an infraction to if any part of the body is onside then it's good, giving the attacker a body length) have not been successful and more are needed to see if this gives the attack too much of an advantage. I do believe that the rule needs to be tweaked in light of video replay being used, but more testing is needed rather than something rash. Plenty more in the video and podcast editions of the Espresso, please check them out. More to come tomorrow morning on the SDH Network.

Holy Week is that moment in the year when we pause to remember that “Christmas is important but Easter is decisive”* Why? Well, because Jesus showed us the full extent of his love on the cross. How He forgave us and set us free to experience the fullness of life. How He rose from the dead and so offered hope for the world. A lot happens in Holy Week. It is decisive. Have you made a decision to follow Him? *Apparently quoted by the former Arsenal Football manager Arsene Wenger regarding winning the English Football Premier League, but hey, it's a good line for the Christian faith too!

Where there is champion, there is a challenger. With over a century of history, it had rarely been the case that two of the most successful teams were competing at the same time. That was the case towards the end of the 20th century.Manchester United and Arsenal competed against each other for a generation, but it was under Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger when competition became an interchangable word for tribal warfare.Years of mounting tension finally erupted just after the turn of century when a series of matches at Old Trafford became progressively more hostile. It all culminated in a showdown at Highbury in February 2005.The conclusion was epic. But so was the journey. This is the unheard story of the greatest rivalry in Premier League history.

Arsene Wenger's revolution at Highbury means everyone starts loving Arsenal. Except Alex Ferguson that is, who sees his Manchester United side beaten to the title by them. Manchester City slump to the third tier – that'll be them finished – and Paul Merson shares a house with Gazza. There goes the neighbourhood.
On this episode, Patrick and Ravi start by discussing Edu Gaspar leaving Arsenal. What should Arsenal look for in their next sporting director, what names are on the list, and how does Arteta factor into the equation? Next they move to Manchester City's 4-1 loss to Ruben Amorim's Sporting CP, Victor Gyokeres' performance, and City's dependence on Erling Haaland to score goals. Lastly, they cover Real Madrid losing another game at home, this time a 3-1 defeat to AC Milan. Do Madrid have a politics problem with their lineups, should Endrick and Arda Guler get more minutes, and will Carlo Ancelotti be the manager next season?

With the big news that United have parted ways with a man they just extended in the summer, we couldn't miss the opportunity to bash away. We also discuss the drama of men not getting an award and throwing a fit, and the return of Arsene Wenger from the grave, just in time for Halloween. We do eventually get into the action of the weekend, which was chalk-full of very late, game deciding goals (6 in total, all of which affected points totals). From the lonely, bubble laden, stare of Ten Hag, to the Beto goal eruption, we cover it all. Palmer comes up big for Chelsea, and Salah delivers the good to save Liverpool, who could ask for more?

Mikel has changed Arsenal in ways not even Arsene Wenger could. The Gunners have gone from top 4 contenders, to title contenders - and arguably, this season they could even be labelled "favourites". Ahead of their trip to Vitality Stadium on Saturday, Sam and Tom are The Court Room at the Queens Park to discuss the week at AFC Bournemouth, one which culminates in Iraola's reunion with an old friend in Arteta - in a game which has got some RIDICULOUS stats which might point to Cherries' fate.

In this Interlull episode we chat about the Arsenal players who have been on international duty, including Bukayo Saka who has returned home after picking up a small injury with England. There's discussion of Martin Odegaard amid rumours of a set-back, a little chat about a difficult week for Arsenal Women, and Graeme Souness's comments about Arsene Wenger. Then in part two we answer questions about over-saturation of football, the introduction of half-time interviews from next season, more legal wrangling, and because it's an Interlull there's an abundance of other nonsense involving James' dramatic reading of song lyrics, sandwiches, sweetcorn, wormholes, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Should Manchester United copy Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City to get back to the top? Why are Tottenham so flimsy? Would you take Paul Pogba at your club now and was Arsene Wenger a lucky manager?Those are the topics on this week's Three Up Front with Simon Jordan, Graeme Souness and Troy Deeney.With Man Utd's executives meeting this week and possibly deciding on Erik Ten Hag's future, Simon gives his insight on what might be going through their minds while Graeme wonders if there's enough football knowledge at the club.Tottenham's latest capitulation leads them to ask why that has been the case for so long and Troy reveals whether players think they are a soft touch.

Welcome to the latest episode of The Overlap's football history podcast, It Was What It Was. This week Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper tell the story of probably the most-consequential football club takeover ever: When Roman Abramovich bought Chelsea in 2003. Before sportswashing was even a word and in an age when Financial Fair Play didn't exist, we examine the background to the most-startling and unexpected deal in Premier League history. And the extraordinary impact it would make, as Chelsea splurged what was at the time an eye-watering £100m in that first summer transfer window, laying the foundations for Chelsea to become a super club that would win 18 major trophies in the Roman era. It transformed the Premier League, threatened Fergie, ruined the latter years of Arsene Wenger's career, caused UEFA to dream up new FFP rules to curb them and paved the way for the era of nation state investors at Manchester City, Paris St Germain and Newcastle United. It Was What it Was goes back to that stunning summer which changed the game and debates whether football was ever the same after the Roman Conquest.Please subscribe to never miss an episode.
