Podcasts about Arteta

In this episode we look back on Saturday's 2-1 FA Cup 5th round win over Mansfield Town. We chat about a much changed Arsenal starting XI and formation, and one with two 16 year olds in it too. There were chances for the home side on a difficult pitch before Noni Madueke fired us ahead. A mistake led to the equaliser before Eberechi Eze's rocket won the game for the Gunners. We discuss the performances of Marli Salmon and Max Dowman in particular who was our best player on the day, with some focus on senior players who didn't get near that level. Then we talk about where this competition falls on the priority list before answering questions about Dowman's role between now and the end of the season, whether Arteta should restrict players availability for the upcoming Interlull, the marathon of the season, Gabriel Jesus and his future, Edu, past contributors, and lots more besides.

Pete and Jacob Hawley are back for your Monday therapy session — because with a Champions League week and Arsenal vs Everton on the horizon, you're going to need your brain in fine fettle. Dropping early to get you in the right headspace, this one covers the full sweep from the muck of Mansfield to the biggest questions of the run-in. Here's what's inside: ☀️ The Eze Effect — is the "sunshine player" theory real, and could Eberechi Eze end up being Arsenal's most important player between now and May?

Episode DescriptionArsenal are through — but it wasn't pretty.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables Podcast, the lads break down Arsenal's gritty FA Cup win away at Mansfield. With injuries piling up and the fixture list tightening, Mikel Arteta rotated heavily — including handing competitive starts to two Hale End 16-year-olds: Max Dowman and Marley Salmon.The hosts unpack the unusual lineup, the confusing early shape, and how Arsenal eventually settled into the match after a tactical switch and a return to a familiar back four. There's detailed reaction to Noni Madueke's opener, Mansfield's equaliser after defensive hesitation, and the moment of quality that ultimately settled the tie — a brilliant strike from Eberechi Eze.Attention then turns to the worrying moment of the night as Riccardo Calafiori goes down with another muscular injury — raising fresh questions about availability at a critical stage of the season.The conversation moves to the bigger picture as the hosts analyse Arsenal's remarkable resilience this year: just three defeats in forty-six matches across all competitions. With injuries affecting key players such as Martin Ødegaard, the squad's ability to adapt and keep winning becomes a major theme of the discussion.Part two shifts to the off-pitch headlines as the panel reacts to Edu's sudden exit from Nottingham Forest, debating what it says about sporting director roles, ownership structures, and the chaos that can surround certain clubs.There's also frustration directed toward Norway manager Ståle Solbakken after his latest comments about Ødegaard's injury situation — and what it could mean ahead of the upcoming international fixtures.Finally, the focus turns to Europe as Arsenal prepare for a huge Champions League trip to face Bayer Leverkusen in Germany. The hosts discuss Leverkusen's form, possible tactical approaches from both sides, and how Arsenal should approach the tie with major domestic fixtures looming.With the FA Cup quarter-finals secured and the Champions League knockout stage underway, the business end of the season has arrived — and every game now carries real weight.

Dharmesh Sheth is joined by Carl Anka, Jacqui Oatley and Dominic King to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We begin with Saturday's Six Nations clash between England and Italy. England suffered an historic defeat in Rome, losing to Italy for the first time after 32 previous attempts by the Azzurri. Does this shock result mark the beginning of the end for Steve Borthwick?We then turn to the start of the new Formula 1 season. Our reporter Craig Slater joins us from Melbourne to discuss just how entertaining the opening Grand Prix was, with George Russell taking the win. Then it's on to the weekend's FA Cup action, with Max Dowman lighting up the One Call Stadium with an exciting performance, becoming the FA Cup's youngest-ever player as Arsenal advanced to the next round with a 2–1 win over Mansfield. With Arsenal still in all four competitions, we ask just how realistic a quadruple might be. Carl says he'll eat his hat — and his shoe — if Arsenal pull it off.Staying with the FA Cup, City came from behind to beat Newcastle 3–1 at St James' Park and reach the FA Cup quarter-finals and Dominic thinks Pep will end Arsenal this season with more trophies than Arteta. And it was Hollywood drama at the Racecourse Ground, where Chelsea beat ten-man Wrexham 4–2 after extra time.Next, it's another win for England's Lionesses, who beat Iceland 2–0 in a dominant display, peppering the goal with numerous chances. But with Spain in their World Cup qualifier group and only one automatic spot up for grabs, do the Lionesses need to be more ruthless in front of goal?We close out with a hot debate on Arsenal this season. With strong set pieces, own goals going their way, scrappy corner battles and rock-solid defending—but a noticeable lack of attacking flair—are Mikel Arteta's side boring to watch?Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Episode 176 – Legion Of Goon: Arsenal's Defensive Wall Shuts Down Brighton as City Drop Points in the Title RaceArsenal head to the south coast and leave with three crucial points after a controlled 1–0 win away at Brighton. With Martin Ødegaard unavailable and William Saliba a late withdrawal, Mikel Arteta's side are forced into changes — but the response is a composed, resilient performance built on defensive authority and intelligent game management.The hosts break down Bukayo Saka's early opener, Brighton's rare attacking moments, and how Arsenal's back line — led by David Raya, Gabriel and Piero Hincapié — quietly took control of the match. The conversation turns to Arteta's substitutions, the tactical adjustments that shut the game down, and why Arsenal were able to limit Brighton to almost nothing after the hour mark.There's also plenty of reaction to Fabian Hürzeler's pre- and post-match comments about Arsenal's game management, as the hosts debate the growing narratives around Arsenal's style of play and the constant scrutiny surrounding the team's set-piece threat.The title race also takes a dramatic twist as Manchester City drop points against Nottingham Forest, sending the Arsenal dressing room into celebration and raising fresh questions about how the run-in could unfold.In Part Two, the hosts dig into the ongoing debate around Arsenal's set-piece dominance, why the conversation has become such a talking point across the league, and whether clubs should simply adapt rather than complain.The episode then looks ahead to Arsenal's FA Cup trip to Mansfield Town, discussing potential rotation, youth opportunities, and how Arteta may manage the squad with a huge run of fixtures approaching — including Leverkusen and the Carabao Cup final.There's also another round of the Prediction Game, a new edition of Justin's Six Pack, and a broader discussion about why Arsenal's cup games have felt very different to the pressure cooker of the Premier League title race.A big week, a massive defensive performance, and a title race that might just be turning Arsenal's way.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:53) - Brighton Review & Team News: Saliba Out, Ødegaard Missing & Starting XI(02:08) - 0–1 | Saka Breakthrough & Verbruggen Goalkeeper Error(04:02) - Penalty Debate: Martinelli Grab & Havertz Challenge(05:12) - Arteta's Game Management: Havertz, Trossard & Calafiori Subs(06:45) - Hincapié, Raya, Gabriel & Timber Praised in Defensive Masterclass(09:31) - Match Stats Breakdown & Brighton's Lack of Threat(10:07) - Substitution Timing & Tactical Impact(11:55) - Fabian Hürzeler Complaints & Pre-Match Mind Games(15:26) - Brighton Crowd Atmosphere & “Only One Team Playing Football” Claim(16:28) - Title Race Moment: Man City vs Forest Reactions(20:49) - Dressing Room Celebrations & Arsenal Momentum(24:03) - Bernardo Silva Complaints & City Frustration(25:25) - Run-In Discussion: Everton, Bournemouth & Etihad Context(28:10) - Defensive Structure Returning & Arteta Tactical Adjustments(30:52) - Pressing Without Ødegaard & Havertz(31:49) - Mental Test & Role of Home Fans(36:02) - PT.2: Set Piece Debate & Media Narrative(38:26) - Corner Grappling, VAR Checks & “Ben White Rule” Discussion(45:52) - Chelsea Corner Routines & Premier League Set Piece Trends(47:53) - Why Every Club Needs a Set Piece Coach(49:08) - League vs Cup Games: Which Are More Enjoyable?(50:52) - European Perspective: Arsenal Tactical Influence(53:54) - Cup Run Possibilities & Fixture Congestion(57:48) - Prediction Game: West Ham vs Brentford(01:00:20) - Spotlight Game: Wrexham vs Chelsea(01:03:21) - Justin's Six Pack: Top Things To Do In Mansfield(01:06:20) - Mansfield Preview & Expected Arsenal Rotation(01:09:14) - Midfield Selection Issues & Youth Opportunities(01:13:31) - Martinelli vs Trossard Debate Continues(01:17:31) - Final Thoughts on Squad Rotation & Competition Priorities

Arsenal find a way again.In this episode, we break down a tense 2–1 win over Chelsea decided by three crucial set pieces — two Arsenal corners and one unfortunate own goal. It wasn't a flowing, dominant performance, but it was decisive when it mattered.We begin with Arteta's Non-Negotiables and the pre-match context: late fitness doubts, midfield reshuffles, and what Odegaard's absence meant structurally. From there, we analyse the game's rhythm — an unexpectedly open, end-to-end contest that lacked control in key phases.The first half saw Arsenal strike from a beautifully worked corner routine before conceding from one of their own defensive lapses. We discuss the Zubimendi performance debate, the midfield spacing issues, and the growing theme of game-state management.In the second half, another corner proved decisive. We assess Timber's impact, Martinelli's directness off the bench, and whether Arsenal's attacking structure is functioning without its usual creative axis. Raya's key late saves and Arsenal's increasingly nervy final ten minutes come under the microscope — is this resilience or risk?There's a wider conversation about late-game control, possession surrender, and whether this side is defaulting too quickly into defensive protection mode.Part Two includes:– The Who Am I? Game– A full Whip Around the Grounds– A bumper VAR review featuring controversy from Bournemouth, Burnley, Leeds and beyond– Title race implications– Relegation theatre– And a look ahead to Brighton, with selection dilemmas and midfield questions front and centreThree points secured. Pressure maintained. Questions still lingering.The run-in tightens — and Arsenal stay in it.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:53) - Chelsea Win Context & Team News Reaction(01:13) - Line-Up Breakdown & Ødegaard Absence(03:32) - Stats of the Game, Early Rhythm & Open Midfield Debate(05:25) - Sánchez & Chelsea's Back Line(09:56) - 1–0 | Saliba Scores from Saka Corner(12:47) - 1–1 | Rice Penalty Debate & Equaliser(15:50) - Zubimendi Performance Discussion(22:31) - Second-Half Patterns & Martinelli Impact(23:35) - 2–1 | Timber Heads Home from a Corner(25:35) - Neto Red Card & Game Control Issues(29:40) - Rice Injury & “Only Ever Scoring from Set Pieces”(31:06) - 7 Passes vs 53: Late-Game Surrender, Disallowed Goal & Mighty Raya(35:16) - Did Chelsea Deserve a Penalty?

Arsenal's financial results are in — and the numbers tell a story.In Episode 174, we break down the club's 2025 revenue surge, Champions League impact, sponsorship growth and wage structure, asking what it really means for Arsenal's trajectory. Is this sustainable growth? How does the new financial model affect future transfer windows? And with PSR gone and a new system incoming, what does the summer actually look like?We also debate the controversial 3.9% ticket price rise and the introduction of the A+ category for Champions League knockout games. With merchandise flying off the shelves and revenues climbing, is this smart business — or bad faith? Where should the balance sit between global growth and protecting match-going fans?From there, attention turns to Europe. The Champions League draw looms, with Arsenal facing either Atalanta or Bayer Leverkusen. We react to a chaotic knockout night, assess the possible paths ahead, and discuss what really matters at this stage of the competition — league phase fatigue or knockout mentality?Part two shifts to football matters on the pitch.We analyse squad dynamics ahead of Chelsea:– The left wing debate and whether Saka moves wide again– Ødegaard's role and match sharpness– Hincapié vs Calafiori at left-back– Defensive structure and late-game control– What Chelsea might change after recent stumblesIs this a statement opportunity?

Domination Derby: Arsenal Destroy Spurs 4-1 Away from Home as Eze Delivers, Raya Recovers and the Premier League Lead Returns to Five PointsArsenal respond in the only way that matters.After pressure built following Manchester City's win, the North London Derby became more than just another fixture — it became a test of control, intent and composure. And from the opening minutes, Arsenal delivered one of the most dominant performances ever seen at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.We break down the starting XI decisions, the absence of key names, and the early intensity that set the tone. The discussion then moves into the opening goal — Saka's persistence, Eze's sharp finish — and the familiar frustration of conceding immediately after taking the lead.There's an honest assessment of Declan Rice's error, David Raya's positioning, and whether Arsenal are gifting opponents moments rather than being broken down. But this episode isn't about collapse — it's about response.We analyse Raya's in-game recovery, Gyökeres' growing confidence in front of goal, and the structural adjustments that kept Arsenal on the front foot instead of retreating into caution. Timber's contribution, Mosquera's composure, and the subtle tactical shifts in midfield all come under the microscope.Eze's performance is given full attention — his decision-making, positioning, and the wider question of how Arteta has finally unlocked his best role. We also examine the ongoing Trossard debate and what Odegaard's return could mean ahead of Chelsea.The numbers tell their own story: territorial dominance, touches in the box, xG control. But the episode goes deeper than the stats — into mentality, game management, and the standards required in a title race.Part Two features the Matchweek 27 whip-around, where we assess Manchester City's narrow win, Liverpool's controversial late goal, Chelsea's dropped points, and the developing relegation battle. VARse returns with discussion on Forest, City, Palace and the automated offside debate.Arsenal restored the five-point lead.Now the question is whether they can sustain this level of control.Chelsea up next.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:51) - Line-Up Reaction & “Not North London” Display Debate(03:48) - Early Intent & Fast Start(08:18) - 0-1 | Eze Finishes After Saka's Work(10:46) - 1-1 | Rice Error & Raya Questioned(13:16) - The Longest Half-Time Ever(15:46) - Raya's Save & Regaining Composure(16:47) - 1-2 | Gyökeres Strikes With Authority(18:13) - Disallowed Spurs Goal & Gabriel Controversy(21:22) - 1-3 | Eze at the Double(22:20) - Raya Big Save & Redemption Moment?(24:01) - Saka Injury Concern(24:58) - 1-4 | Gyökeres Seals It Late(28:03) - Match Stats & Dominance Breakdown(31:52) - Trossard Debate & Tactical Adjustments(37:29) - Raya Form Discussion(45:42) - Eze Role Analysis & Arteta Comments(52:34) - PT.2 Whip Around the Grounds (MW27)(59:30) - VARse: Forest, City & Palace Decisions(01:10:56) - MW27 Title Race, UCL Qualification & Relegation Battle(01:18:55) - Closing Thoughts

Arsenal step away from Premier League pressure and into the FA Cup — and for 45 minutes, it looks effortless.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables Podcast, we break down the 4–0 win over Wigan Athletic, where four first-half goals settled the tie early and allowed Mikel Arteta to rotate heavily. We discuss the starting XI surprises, Calafiori's latest warm-up withdrawal, and the long-anticipated experiment of Bukayo Saka operating centrally.There's a deep dive into the first-half performance — Eze's influence, the combinations between Saka and Madueke, Martinelli's clinical finish, and Nørgaard's standout display. Was this simply lower-league opposition being exposed, or did we see tactical clues for the weeks ahead?We also assess the second-half slowdown, Gyökeres' introduction, and the home debuts for Salmon and Setford — moments that reflect squad depth and internal culture.From there, attention turns to the FA Cup draw. Mansfield away awaits, Manchester City travel to Newcastle, and the pathway opens slightly — but questions remain.Part two shifts into bigger concerns. We address Arsenal's mounting injury issues — recurring patterns, squad construction, recovery methods, and whether the modern game is shortening careers at the top level. Is this bad luck, load management, or something structural?Finally, we preview the trip to Wolves. With Odegaard and others doubtful, does Saka stay central? Is this the moment for a tactical pivot? And with Arsenal chasing control at the top of the table, is this simply a must-win — or a tone-setter for the run-in?All that, plus this week's “Who Am I?” featuring a 1971 double winner.Control restored — but bigger questions are building.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:51) - FA Cup Context: Rotation & Calafiori Warm-Up Injury(03:47) - Saka Central?(06:01) - Eze's First-Half Influence(09:35) - 1–0 | Madueke Finished, Eze Assist(10:51) - 2–0 | Martinelli Rifles It Home(12:30) - 3–0 | Own Goal & Saka–Madueke Link-Up(15:25) - 4–0 | Jesus Scores, Nørgaard Delivers(17:36) - Second-Half Coast & Gyökeres Chance(19:15) - Home Debuts: Salmon & Setford(22:30) - Match Stats Breakdown(23:57) - FA Cup Draw: Mansfield Away & City at Newcastle(30:39) - PT.2 Who Am I?

Mikel Arteta Laughs Off Transfer Decision, Attacking Numbers Study Reveals Major Arsenal Worry & More!Mikel Arteta laughs off a fresh transfer decision question, but a new attacking numbers study has revealed a potentially major concern for Arsenal. Are the Gunners creating enough to sustain a title challenge — or is there a deeper issue emerging?In today's episode of The Gooner Talk, Arsenal reporter Tom Canton breaks down Arteta's latest comments, the context behind the transfer stance, and what the underlying attacking data says about Arsenal's performances this season.

Arsenal leave West London with a point — but far more questions than answers.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables, we break down the 1–1 draw at Brentford and ask whether Arsenal are drifting away from the identity that made them so dominant. With Manchester City applying pressure in the title race, this was a night that demanded control. Instead, it became another conversation about long balls, lost fluency, and a worrying lack of sustained chance creation.We analyse the starting XI, the impact of key absences, and how the tactical approach shaped the first half. Is “Long Ball FC” becoming more than just frustration? Are Arsenal overthinking matches against teams they should be imposing themselves on? And what does this style shift say about the manager's current priorities?There's a deep dive into the Eberechi Eze debate — recruitment vs role — and whether he's being used in a way that suits his strengths. Then we unpack the second-half momentum swing: Odegaard's introduction, the return of familiar patterns, and Madueke's header that briefly felt like the breakthrough moment.But control evaporated. We examine the throw-in equaliser, the defensive lapses, and the concerning injury situation around Odegaard. Why was he left on? What did it cost Arsenal structurally? And how much did fatigue and squad rotation play into the late chaos?We close Part 1 with the bigger picture — xG, chance creation trends, and the uncomfortable truth about title-winning standards. Can you win a league without a 20-goal forward? And what actually is Arteta's football right now?Part 2 covers managerial sackings across the league, concerns around Ethan's loan situation, another controversial VAR weekend in MW26, and a look ahead to the FA Cup tie against Wigan — a potential reset moment before Wolves.The title race isn't over.
