In this episode I'm joined first by Kaya Kaynak to talk about Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday evening. We discuss team selection, the early yellow card for Robert Andrich and a potential second, Gabriel Martinelli hitting the bar, and falling behind early in the second half to a set-piece goal. We also touch on Bukayo Saka's struggles, his replacement by Noni Madueke and the impact that sub made as he won the penalty from which Kai Havertz equalised. As well as that we chat about the opposition approach, our continued issues against low-block sides, whether full backs are the ideal players to have in attacking positions, the week that English clubs have had generally in Europe, and lots more.Find Mark Bullen's St Totteringham's Day print here – https://www.markbullenstudio.com/st-totteringhams-day – and you can use the code SPURSY at checkout for a 15% discount on any purchase between now and the end of the season.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Arsenal leave Germany with a draw, but the performance in Leverkusen sparks plenty of debate.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables Podcast, the team breaks down the 1–1 draw away to Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League Round of 16. From the starting XI decisions and early refereeing controversies to Martinelli rattling the crossbar and a frustrating attacking display, the discussion explores where the performance fell short and why Arsenal struggled to impose themselves on the game.The panel looks closely at the tactical setup, including the continued use of the double pivot and Jurriën Timber's advanced role, while analysing difficult nights for several key players. Bukayo Saka's performance, Martinelli's finishing, and the absence of Martin Ødegaard all feature in a wider conversation about how Arsenal are currently building attacks — and why the team is finding it harder to break down organised opponents.Attention then turns to the decisive moment late in the match as Noni Madueke wins a controversial penalty. Was there enough contact? Would it have been overturned in the Premier League? Kai Havertz steps up to convert and rescue the draw, but the debate continues over whether Arsenal escaped Leverkusen with a fortunate result or earned it through persistence.Beyond the match itself, the hosts discuss the wider context of Arsenal's season — the fine margins, the physical demands of the schedule, and the mentality that has kept the team difficult to beat across competitions.Part two shifts to the regular features, including the Who Am I? game and the weekend prediction segment, with Liverpool vs Tottenham and Chelsea vs Newcastle under the spotlight.Finally, the conversation turns back to Arsenal with a preview of the upcoming Premier League clash against Everton. With the title race tightening and a demanding run of fixtures ahead — including the second leg against Leverkusen and the Carabao Cup final — the team assesses squad rotation, injury concerns, and the importance of maintaining control in the margins that define championship seasons.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:51) - Starting XI Reaction: Havertz on the Bench & Tactical Setup(02:34) - Early Refereeing Controversy & Champions League Standards Debate(07:15) - Martinelli Hits the Bar: Arsenal's Best First-Half Chance(08:04) - Saliba & Gabriel Struggles Playing Out From the Back(09:08) - Half-Time Verdict: Good Arsenal or Bad Arsenal?(09:29) - “Atrocious Arsenal” Second-Half Start & Leverkusen Goal(11:14) - Arsenal Response Debate & Control vs Reality(13:21) - Timber's Advanced Role & Lack of Attacking Penetration(15:03) - Saka Subbed Off & Madueke Impact Discussion(17:09) - Arsenal Chase the Game & Havertz Introduction(18:54) - Late Penalty Controversy: Was It Soft?(24:32) - Arteta vs Player Responsibility Debate(26:34) - Stats & Tactical Discussion: Double Pivot vs Single Pivot(31:47) - Martinelli Debate & Left-Wing Concerns(33:08) - Havertz Equaliser & Arsenal Escape with 1–1 Draw(33:33) - Champions League Round-of-16 Reactions & English Teams Struggle(37:01) - Winter Break Debate & European Scheduling Impact(39:58) - Part 2 Intro & “Who Am I?” Game(41:20) - Prediction Game: Liverpool vs Tottenham(48:51) - Chelsea vs Newcastle Preview(51:26) - Six Pack: Everton vs Arsenal Six “Business End” Talking Points(54:09) - Arsenal vs Everton Match Preview(56:35) - Squad Rotation Discussion: Havertz, Saka, Madueke & White(59:17) - Left Wing Debate: Martinelli vs Alternatives(01:05:53) - Final Everton Match Thoughts(01:07:39) - “Who Am I?” Answer Revealed

We also put Premier League players up against each other and decide which one we would rather have in our team right now… Gianluigi Donnarumma vs David Raya, Bukayo Saka vs Antoine Semenyo, Gabriel Magalhães vs Virgil van Dijk, along with many more…  And of course there is a return of the Quiz! 

Veckans avsnitt av Fredagsklubben heter Klagomuren. Där snackar Jocke och Teo igenom veckans små ochs tora händelser i Arsenalvärlden. Det handlar om hatstormen mot Arsenal och Bukayo Saka. Om assist, statistik och mycket, mycket mer.

In this episode I'm joined first by Tom Canton to discuss Arsenal's 1-0 win over Brighton on Wednesday evening. The Gunners turned a shaky start into an early goal, and we chat about the key moments of the game played in a heated atmosphere. There's analysis of our second half substitutions, big defensive performances from Gabriel and Piero Hincapie, the comments pre and post game from Fabian Hurzeler and Mikel Arteta's response to them, and Man City dropping points to Nottingham Forest in what feels like a pivotal night in the title race.Then it's a pleasure to welcome Ian Wright back to the show, to discuss the unique pressures that come at this point of a season, his experiences of it as a player and now as a fan, the media narrative that surrounds Arsenal from all sides, and Bukayo Saka making his 300th appearance for the club.Subscribe to Tom's YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@TheGoonerTalkTVFind Mark Bullen's St Totteringham's Day print here – https://www.markbullenstudio.com/st-totteringhams-day – and you can use the code SPURSY at checkout for a 15% discount on any purchase between now and the end of the season.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogIf you are a regular listener via iTunes, if you would be so kind as to leave a review/rating that would be greatly appreciated.

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

In this hastily scheduled half of an Arsecast Extra, James and I look back at last night's horrendous 2-2 draw with Wolves at Molineux. We discuss the team selection, and how after making a great start, Arsenal failed to capitalise on Bukayo Saka's early goal. Despite going 2-0 up, we let it slip, and we analyse the goals we conceded, the unpleasant trends regarding our goal concessions this season, and how the defensive lapses are secondary to the fact that the attack looks so inhibited at this moment in time. We also wonder if that plays a part in the way the team played with fear in the second half, what it all means for the title race, the questions about our mentality, the growing sense of now or never for Mikel Arteta and, at the heart of it, a sense of frustration because we know this is a team capable of much better than we've been seeing of late.

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?

In this episode we look back at the 4-0 win over Wigan in the FA Cup 4th round on Sunday. It looked like we were going to see Myles Lewis-Skelly in midfield, but a late rejig saw Bukayo Saka play there instead. There's a lot of discussion of him in that position, and whether it's something we might, or indeed should, see more of between now and the end of the season. We discuss the flurry of goals we scored in the first half, the contribution of Eberechi Eze with two assists, a firing forward line, and the way the rest of the game played out with some interesting young cameos in the second half. There are also listener questions about Cristhian Mosquera, Ethan Nwaneri's unsettled situation in Marseille, Ben White and Christian Norgaard, injuries in the warm-ups, and lots more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblogAlso, if you're a fan of the show, please leave us a rating/review on your favourite podcast app, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Arsenal's Double Deadline Day Deals, Bukayo Saka Boost, Mikel Arteta Drama & Chelsea Preview

In this episode we look back at the 4-0 win over Leeds at Elland Road on Saturday. We chat about the team selection which saw Kai Havertz start, and help bring a different kind of dynamic to the team's midfield set-up, with Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi playing distinct roles too. We also discuss Noni Madueke, a late call-up after Bukayo Saka's warm-up injury, and his contribution with an assist and a belatedly awarded goal. In the second half Viktor Gyokeres missed a chance but also tucked one away well, there were important cameos off the bench from Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, and a resounding win was made more impactful by the points Man City dropped yesterday. In part 2 we have questions about Mikel Merino's injury and whether or not Arsenal will move in the market before this evening's deadline, potential beneficiaries of the Spaniard's absence, Declan Rice, Ethan Nwaneri, tomorrow's night Carabao Cup semi-final, and lots more.

Arsenal return from Elland Road with a four-goal win that extends their lead at the top, but the performance itself sparks plenty of debate.The pod breaks down a strange afternoon in Leeds — from a late line-up shock and Bukayo Saka pulling out in the warm-up, to a disjointed opening that gradually turned into set-piece control and second-half authority. There's discussion around Arsenal's reliance on corners, Noni Madueke's growing influence, and why the scoreline ultimately flattered Leeds more than it reflected Arsenal's grip on the game.Attention then turns to Martin Ødegaard's impact off the bench and a wider conversation about control, runners, and whether Arsenal's system is currently helping or hindering their key players. The panel also debates the shift in shape, what the numbers really say about the performance, and why this felt like “business done” rather than a statement win.In Part Two, a major injury update drops live during recording, raising fresh questions about depth and priorities as the season enters a decisive phase. There's also a full Whip Around the Grounds from Matchweek 24, another packed VARse segment dissecting controversial decisions across the league, and a look ahead to Chelsea at the Emirates with Wembley at stake.A routine win on paper — with bigger questions bubbling underneath.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:54) - Leeds Away: Line-Up Shock & Saka Pulls Out(04:04) - A Scrappy Start & Why Arsenal Looked Dull(06:38) - 0-1 | Set-Piece FC: Zubimendi Breaks the Deadlock(08:42) - 0-2 | Chaos at Corners & Madueke's Growing Influence(12:16) - Second-Half Sloppiness & Missed Kill Shots(15:55) - Odegaard Enters & Instantly Controls the Game(17:11) - 0-3 | Martinelli's Cross, Gyökeres Reacts, Game Over(19:04) - Odegaard Debate: Has He Looked Better Off the Bench?(25:48) - Saka, Runners & The System Problem(30:48) - 0-4 | Jesus Responds: From Net-Negative to Highlight Reel(33:00) - Stats Don't Tell the Story of a 4-0 Win(36:14) - Shape Shift: From 4-3-3 to 4-4-2(42:10) - PT.2 Bombshell: Merino Likely Out for the Season(44:48) - Whip Around the Grounds: Matchweek 24(54:22) - VARse: Brighton, Old Trafford & Villa Park Chaos(01:12:00) - Chelsea Preview: Injuries, Rotation & Wembley Stakes(01:19:20) - Closing

Arsenal Silence Critics With BIG Leeds Win! Madueke Steps Up, Saka Out, Classic Gyokeres & Jesus

Have you ever wondered what happens when pop royalty and the world of football collide? And what really goes on behind closed doors of Britain's best selling solo artist of all time?In this special episode of talkSPORT Daily, Andy Goldstein and Darren Bent sit down for a 40 minute, no-holds-barred conversation with global superstar Robbie Williams.Robbie reveals what really happened during a game of Traitors inside the England camp at the World Cup — including how he hilariously stitched up Harry Kane in a showdown with Bukayo Saka with a helping hand from Trent Alexander-Arnold. He also opens up about meeting new England boss Thomas Tuchel, lifting the lid on his intensity, his eccentricity and why Robbie finds him fascinating.Beyond football, Robbie reflects candidly on the extraordinary highs and brutal lows of his music career, from global superstardom to personal struggles, before delving into his brand-new album Britpop — discussing the inspiration behind it and what the genre still means to him today.Funny, honest and occasionally chaotic, it's a must-listen conversation with one of Britain's most iconic entertainers.Produced by: Daniel Kane, Joseph Ovenall, Billy FarrisEdited by: Daniel KanePhoto Credit: Getty Images Hosted on Acast.

Rio comes in HOT after another statement victory for Manchester United, following up a win over Manchester City with victory at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal. With a huge improvement in form and positivity around the club since sacking Ruben Amorim, the conversation quickly turns to why Michael Carrick should not be judged through the same lens as Ole Gunnar Solskjær.From Arsenal supporters' growing tension to Arteta's obsession with control, the lack of freedom for Bukayo Saka and whether this really is a “now or never” moment — this episode pulls no punches on the Gunner's race for the title.Rio compares Arteta's Arsenal to Klopp's Liverpool and Mourinho's Chelsea, arguing this isn't about tactics — it's about personality, leadership, and dressing-room energy. He then focuses on why Saka, in particular, needs reminding of the basics — discussing the need for freedom over fear.There's also a comparison to what Ruben Amorim did with the same players which contrasts with how Michael Carrick is getting them to perform - Ste and Rio come up with and investigate those differences - paying particular attention to Patrick Dorgu, Kobbie Mainoo and Diogo Dalot Hosted on Acast.

In this episode I'm joined by Andrew Allen to look back at the 3-1 win over Inter Milan on Tuesday night. In an enjoyable game, Gabriel Jesus shone with two goals and an excellent performance overall. We assess that and whether or not he's played his way into the starting line-up for Man Utd on Sunday. We also chat about the way Mikel Arteta successfully rotated his side, an impressive display from Bukayo Saka on the right hand side, the goals we scored, including a confidence booster for Viktor Gyokeres, and Arsenal's progression through European competition this season. There's also a bit about Ethan Nwaneri's potential loan move to Marseille, 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.

Suj took the spoils over James in the Planet FPL Derby and to say the mood is now toxic at Tottenham Hotspur would be putting it mildly. Yet, somehow, Thomas Frank remains in charge, for now... And so to too does Oliver Glasner despiute the Crystal Palace manager suggesting that he's been left abandoned by the hierarchy at The Eagles. At least there was some great football this weekend to enjoy... no not much of that either... but there's plenty of praise for Manchester United who fully deserved to beat neighbours City. All the games covered, plus all the key FPL discussion as usual, featuring the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Bukayo Saka, Chelsea and Man City assets, Morgan Rogers, Hugo Ekitike and more...

Matt Davies is joined by Chris Aylmer and Simon Fotheringham to discuss the game in full. #nffc #nottinghamforest

More midweek matches are upon us as we near the end of the festive fixtures, but rotation and the absence of some popular players has got FPL managers looking to change up their squads

Arsenal return to the top of the Premier League after a 2–1 win over Brighton, but the performance once again raises familiar questions. The Gunners dominate large spells at the Emirates — racking up 2.8 xG, 24 shots and total territorial control — only to let the game drift into nervous territory late on, with David Raya forced into a crucial save to preserve the win.We break down a first half that should have put the game out of sight, including missed chances for Bukayo Saka and ongoing concerns around Arsenal's finishing. Martin Ødegaard scores his first goal of the season in trademark fashion, while Declan Rice adapts to an unfamiliar role and Arsenal's structure continues to generate chances without the ruthless edge to kill games.The second half sees a worrying 15-minute spell where Arsenal retreat, stop engaging high up the pitch, and invite Brighton back into the contest. We discuss Raya's intervention, the defensive adjustments that followed, and whether this “control then retreat” pattern is becoming a recurring issue.There's also frustration with refereeing decisions, including a controversial challenge on the goalkeeper and VAR inconsistencies across the weekend. We cover all the major talking points from Gameweek 17 in Whip Around the Grounds, with results from Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Aston Villa and more.In VARse, we analyse key officiating decisions from Old Trafford, the City Ground and Stamford Bridge, ranking what was contentious, what was ridiculous, and where the laws continue to be applied inconsistently.Finally, we look ahead to Arsenal vs Aston Villa. With Villa winning games while being outshot and outperforming their xG, and Arsenal struggling to convert dominance into comfort, we assess the tactical battle, injury concerns, likely line-ups, and what Mikel Arteta must get right this time around.Chapters:(00:00) – Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(01:40) – #ARSBHA Pre-Match, Injuries & the Return of Big Gabi(03:18) – Starting XI: Rice at Right Back?(04:52) – Stats, Arsenal Domination & Missed Early Chances(07:45) – Saka Shooting Volume vs End Product(12:12) – Ødegaard's First Goal of the Season(15:32) – Chances, xG and Why This Game Should've Been Dead(18:18) – Referee & Goalkeeper Challenge Controversy(21:42) – Second-Half Control & Set-Piece Pressure(24:42) – Brighton Goal: Freak Moment or Structural Issue?(27:26) – Fifteen-Minute Retreat & Loss of Engagement(28:06) – Raya's Match-Saving Intervention(30:02) – Martinelli's Impact, Late Chances & Full-Time Reflection(34:34) – Big Takeaways from the Brighton Win(38:37) – PT.2: Who Am I?

In this episode we look back at Saturday's last gasp win over Wolves, and try to balance the importance of the three points with the level of performance Arsenal put in. If the manager and the players are unhappy, is it ok for fans to be concerned too? We chat about the slightly surprising back-four selection, especially in the context of Ben White's injury, and discuss first half moments that could easily have changed the complexion of the game. All the goals came in the second half, and we discuss Bukayo Saka's role in both, why the goal we conceded was so worrying, and how we think this might be a game which Mikel Arteta will feel he needs to react to quite strongly. In part two there are listener questions about how this next week will go on the training ground, Gabriel Martinelli, Viktor Gyokeres, what the manager's best front 3 is, the upcoming game against Everton, and loads more.EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/arseblog Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

We chat about the team line-up in the absence of Gabriel and with MikelMerino up front, and yet another goal from Leandro Trossard to put us 1-0 up. Then attention turns to Eberechi Eze whose hat-trick was the major talking point of the day. There's so much 'narrative' around him, but a big player delivered in a big, and very rare, way for Arsenal in this fixture. We also enjoy the performance of players like Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber and Bukayo Saka, the overall fun you get from winning a game like this against opposition who set out to frustrate but ultimately fell way, way short. There are questions about Rice, Trossard, rotation for the Bayern Munich game on Wednesday, some Tifo chat and LOADS more good stuff as we smashed the Spuds.
