Podcasts about Arteta

Rough afternoon at The Bridge, but a point gained. We discuss:

Send us your questions and thoughts by text!! Leave your name in the text!A chaotic Premier League weekend gives us plenty to unpack. Mike's moment of the week sees the Dyche revival stall as Brighton halt Forest at the City Ground, while Jamie marvels at Woltemade's wonder-goal in Newcastle's biggest away win in years. Dylan relives Fulham's lightning-quick double that stunned Spurs and pushed them to a historic tenth home defeat of the calendar year.We move into our three marquee matchups, starting in London where ten-man Chelsea held Arsenal in a fiery 1-1 draw. We break down the contrasting disciplinary records of both sides, why Merino appears to be the new Peter Crouch, and that Arsenal's superb start still isn't their best under Arteta. Then it's off to Villa Park, where a thunderbolt from Boubacar Kamara edged Wolves, prompting a deep dive into Rob Edwards' high-energy blueprint and whether it will be good enough to keep them in the division (spoiler: it won't)! As well as going over Villa's growing defensive maturity under Unai Emery. Lastly, we head to Selhurst Park as Manchester United mounted a rare fightback: Zirkzee ends a near year-long drought, Mateta's perfect penalty record continues, and Bruno Fernandes climbs another rung on United's all-time assist ladder.In “One Thing We Learned,” Brentford's conveyor belt of number nines rolls on, Phil Foden keeps City breathing in the title race, and Sunderland complete their first-ever comeback from two goals down in the Premier League. And finally… the bin juice game of the week: West Ham 0–2 Liverpool, featuring Isak snapping his scoring drought in a match that will not live in the memory for all that long.All reviews, likes, shares and of course listens are hugely appreciated!

Arsenal leave Stamford Bridge with just one Premier League point after a chaotic afternoon defined by early bookings, a makeshift back line, and a referee who lost control long before Caicedo finally saw red. We break down the six cautions, the way Zubimendi's early yellow changed our midfield, the impact of Odegaard's introduction, and Merino's equaliser that shifted the momentum — plus the late chance for Gyökeres and Timber that could have won it.Despite the frustration, it still caps off a huge week for Arsenal: the derby win, the Bayern performance, and now a hard-earned point with Saliba, Gabriel and Trossard unavailable.In Part Two, we roll through a midweek Who Am I?, a full WATG recap, VARse (including the Alvarez penalty rule?), and a look ahead to Wednesday night's match against Brentford — a must-win before the trip to Villa Park.Settle in for a grounded, honest review of a fiery London afternoon and what it means for the week ahead.Chapters:(00:00) – Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:58) – Battle at the Bridge: Setting the Scene(01:49) – Lineup Changes & Saliba's Late Withdrawal(03:11) – Chelsea's Fast Start and Cucurella's Free Hits(04:48) – Six Arsenal Bookings and a Referee Out of Control(07:10) – Caicedo's Red Card and the Play-Acting Debate(08:59) – Chelsea's Tactics: Diving, Disruption, and Referee's Impact(11:58) – Arsenal's First-Half Chances & Sanchez's Spills(13:01) – Conceding Early in the Second Half(14:58) – Subs: Odegaard's Impact & Madueke's Struggles / Left-Side Chemistry Issue(19:00) – Merino's Equaliser: Saka's Brilliance & Odegaard's Spark(20:30) – Arteta's Sub Decisions: What Worked & What Didn't(23:20) – Final Chances: Gyökeres Collides with Sanchez & Timber's Header(24:22) – Was This Still a Good Week for Arsenal?(27:48) – By the Numbers & Big-Picture Reflection on the Chelsea Draw(29:08) – PT.2 Who Am I?

Twenty four hours later and we still can't agree on whether it was two points dropped or not against Chelsea. What we can agree on is that we simply must win at home to Brentford on Wednesday. Join Holly and Chris as we dive a little deeper into both matches. Who should Arteta select from the start? Is it time for some serious squad rotation? Just how tricky will Brentford make it for us?

Tony Doe reacts to Arsenal's gritty 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge after Moisés Caicedo's VAR-upgraded red card swung the momentum in this fiery London derby.From the frustration of a set-piece slip-up gifting Chelsea the lead, to pride in a depleted Gunners side, patched-up backline and all, grinding out a point against 10-man Blues. Two dropped or a statement of resilience?We break down:- The overhyped Declan Rice vs Moisés Caicedo midfield duel that fizzled out- Caicedo's reckless red on Merino: passion, liability, or just plain daft?- New defensive duo: William Saliba out, so Hincapié & Mosquera thrown into the deep end, nerves, promise, and the burden of big-stage debuts- Jurriën Timber's seamless evolution as the ultimate modern full-back: inverted threat, humility, and why he's title steel- Classic media hypocrisy: Arsenal "cowardly" for holding firm at Etihad, but Chelsea "heroic" doing the same at the Bridge?Arteta calls it a positive week, but the killer instinct in crunch ties? Still MIA. Standards raised,  a point here shows progress amid the injury crisis.Momentum building, haters seething.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Miguel Delaney and Carl Anka to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We begin with Man City's win over Leeds. Pep's side left it late with a last-minute Foden winner, but are they truly convincing? Carl finds their style this season fun to watch, yet a bit too chaotic to win the title.Next, we turn to Spurs' defeat to Fulham — their third loss of the week — and the boos told the story, as fans watched a side that has won only once at home all season.We then look at Liverpool, who have lost nine of their last twelve, and ask how realistic it is that the club makes a change with Arne Slot?Next, we move to The Ashes. With the second Test starting on Thursday, we speak to Adam Collins about how the Australian press views England's inconsistency — and what they must do to avoid falling 2–0 behind.Finally, we turn to the Premier League title race with Chelsea vs Arsenal. Miguel is impressed by how suffocating and controlling Arsenal have been in the second halves of games. But while Chelsea aren't as polished as Arteta's side, can they genuinely challenge for the title?  Carl believes it's Arsenal's time.Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Spoiler: the logistics for travelling fans is messy.In Part Two, the lads deliver mid-season department report cards — grading every unit of the squad from goalkeeper to coaching staff — before Justin drops a perfectly timed Six-Pack on the best international breaks in Arsenal history.Plus: Saka's leadership, Haaland chat, City's 115-plus charges, and whether Arteta's obsession with winning everything is genius… or slightly terrifying.Stay locked.
