A week is a lifetime in football. We've swung wildly from the post-United doom spiral to sudden whispers of a league “procession” and quadruple dreams. Jacob Hawley and Matt Kandela return for a necessary session of Thursday Therapy to cut through the noise, temper the hysteria, and confront the brutal reality of a season-defining injury that could change everything. Inside the episode: The Merino Blow: We react to the devastating news that Mikel Merino could be out for the season. We discuss why the Spaniard might actually be the most “clutch” player in the squad and why his specific skillset is impossible to replace. King Kai's Redemption: Matt drops his hottest take yet—Kai Havertz isn't just good; he is essential. We argue why the German is now a 90-point player and why he sits above Gyökeres and Jesus in the pecking order. The Hincapié Turnaround: From a questionable signing to a “cult hero in the making.” We analyze Piero Hincapié's monster performance against Chelsea and why he reminds us of a prime Branislav Ivanović. Procession Poison: Why fans need to stop talking about the league as if it's already won. We debate the “Quadruple vs. Just The League” dilemma and why looking past Sunderland is a dangerous game. Transfer Window Autopsy: The window slammed shut with no senior signings. We ask if we missed a trick in midfield or if the “Jacob Hawley Curse” is finally lifting on the squad's depth players.

In this episode I'm joined by Lewis Ambrose to look back at Tuesday night's 1-0 win over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup semi-final second leg. We discuss Chelsea's approach to a game they had to score in, and their decision to essentially nullify the game for an hour, giving them less time to find a goal. Was this an understandable tactical approach from Liam Rosenior, or something of a misstep. We also chat about how Arsenal dealt with the game, leaning into our defensive solidity, before scoring what was a very enjoyable goal right at the end through Kai Havertz to absolutely ensure our pathway to a Wembley final next month. As well as that, there's discussion of what this trophy might mean for the team and the fans after so long without tangible success, and lots more besides.

Manchester City suffered another major setback in the title race after blowing a 2–0 lead against Tottenham on Sunday. With just one win in six in the Premier League, are City genuinely entering a crisis?After last week's damaging 3–2 defeat to Manchester United, Arsenal responded emphatically with a 4–0 win away at Leeds to go six points clear at the top. Mikel Arteta made a bold call by starting Kai Havertz over his captain Martin Odegaard after discourse over his form and creativity. Do Arsenal have an Odegaard problem?With nostalgia around 2016 trending, the boys rewind to the 2015–16 Premier League season, the year Leicester City shocked the football world, and ask: was this the greatest Premier League season ever?And ahead of Sunday's blockbuster Liverpool vs Manchester City, the panel builds an All-Time Liverpool & Man City Combined XI.
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.

How Do We Fix Arsenal's Current Problems? Odegaard, Havertz, Merino, Gyokeres - ft Elliot
In this episode I'm joined by Charles Watts to look back at Arsenal's 3-2 win over Kairat Almaty in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. We discuss the impactful return of Kai Havertz with the German involved in all three goals; Viktor Gyokeres' up and down evening but one which was encouraging in certain aspects; a first half which should have brought more goals; second half changes; not winning this one by a greater margin; and some reflections on the Champions League campaign after eight wins from eight games. We also chat about Martin Odegaard and how the captain is struggling for form this season, whether Mikel Arteta needs to find greater involvement for Eberechi Eze, the manager's pre-game comments about getting on the boat for the final months of the season, and lots more.Follow Charles on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@CharlesWattsAFCnewsGet extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

A Perfect Run — With CracksPerfect in Europe, Uncertain at the Back — What Arsenal Must Fix Before LeedsArsenal close out the Champions League League Phase with a perfect record — eight wins from eight — but the performance against Kairat raises uncomfortable questions beneath the surface.Gav and Jus break down a night that should have felt routine, but instead reinforced growing concerns around defensive concentration, individual errors, and Arsenal's recent inability to protect leads. Despite controlling the game, creating heavily, and topping the group in style, the conversation quickly turns to why clean sheets have disappeared and why “control” — once Arsenal's defining strength — is starting to erode.There's analysis of Kai Havertz's return, Viktor Gyökeres' night in front of goal, Gabriel Jesus' ongoing role in the squad, and the balance between occupying defenders versus offering genuine attacking threat. The discussion also looks at Martin Ødegaard's form, the noise surrounding his place in the side, and whether changes in midfield would actually solve the bigger issues at play.Attention then shifts to what comes next. With Leeds United up next in the league, the hosts examine why this fixture could act as another reset point — much like it has in previous seasons — and what Arsenal must rediscover if they're to re-establish their defensive authority and momentum in the title race.There's also the weekly Who Am I? game, a look ahead to key Premier League fixtures elsewhere, and Jus' latest Six Pack, ranking the best seasons by newly promoted teams in Premier League history.A perfect European run. Plenty of goals. But with standards slipping at the back, the bigger test may still lie ahead.

Kai Havertz fitness CONCERNS, Mikel Arteta to Answer & Manchester United Ahead
On this edition of The Dugout, Jacob is joined by Alex Moneypenny from The Different Knock to dissect the emotional fallout of the 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest. Despite sitting seven points clear at the top, the vibes are complicated—so how do we hold two opposing truths at once? In this episode we discuss: The Premier League “Quality” Debate: Alex delivers a hot take on why the narrative that the league is “terrible” this year is wrong, arguing that the league has never been more compact or difficult. The Joy Deficit: Jacob explores the struggle of the modern fan experience—why does being top of the league feel like a grind, and is the “journey” actually enjoyable this season? The Gyökeres Inquest: An emotionally honest conversation about Viktor Gyökeres. Is it a “translation” issue from the Portuguese league, and should he be used as a “hero” substitute rather than a starter against low blocks? Tactical Philosophy: A deep dive into whether Mikel Arteta prioritizes “relationships over profiling” in his team selection, and how that might be stalling the attack. The San Siro Test: Looking ahead to Inter Milan—why players won't accept rotation for a Champions League anthem night, and the desperate need for Kai Havertz to return.

On this edition of The Dugout, Jacob is joined by journalist Sam Dean to react to a chaotic but crucial 3-2 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. They discuss why Sam's recent article ranking Arsenal's signings caused such a stir online and why the narrative around the club's spending is often misunderstood. In this episode we discuss: The Right-Back Debate: Sam delivers a spicy hot take on why Ben White must return to the starting lineup over Jurrien Timber to unlock the best version of Bukayo Saka. The Gyökeres Dilemma: Has “Big Vic” turned a corner with his goal and assist, or was it just a product of Chelsea's high line? We analyze his best performance in months. Transfer Whispers: The validity of links to Anthony Gordon and Marc Guéhi, plus the difficult conversations the club might need to have about selling fan favorites like Gabriel Martinelli or Kai Havertz to balance the books. Saliba's Evolution: Why William Saliba is arguably the most complete defender in Europe right now.

In this episode of The Arsenal Opinion, Pete and Jacob break down a frantic but entertaining victory over Portsmouth. They discuss why the chaotic nature of cup games is often more enjoyable than the tactical rigidity of top tier Premier League fixtures and praise the fresh energy brought by the rotated squad. The conversation takes a brief detour to La Liga to analyze the exit of Xabi Alonso from Real Madrid. The hosts debate whether player power has gone too far and if modern superstars like Mbappe and Vinicius Jr are becoming unmanageable for even the world's best coaches. Back in North London, the focus shifts to individual performances with some contrasting takes. Jacob argues that Ethan Nwaneri looked like a seasoned midfielder against Portsmouth and makes the case for him to keep his place for the upcoming Chelsea clash. Pete dives into the worrying data surrounding Viktor Gyökeres and questions if the club missed a massive marginal gain by not signing a striker who better fits the system. The boys also share their relief at the return of Kai Havertz and discuss how his presence instantly balances the attack. Additional topics include the struggles of summer signings Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke to find consistent output, the specific chemistry between Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli, and a full preview of the lineup dilemmas facing Mikel Arteta for the League Cup semi final.

Ist Fernando Carro das, was dem BVB fehlt? Warum musste ten Hag gehen? Und wer wird Säule im kommenden Titelteam?
Wir sind wieder wer! Die DFB-ELF holt nach der Niederlage gegen die SLOWAKEI einen wichtigen Sieg. Gegen NORDIRLAND gewinnt DEUTSCHLAND mit 3:1. Also Friede, Freude, WELTMEISTER-Titel? Wohl kaum. Die BOHNDESLIGA-Crew zeigt sich gnadenlos. Nils, Etienne, Tobi und Niko nehmen die Leistung der DEUTSCHEN NATIONALMANNSCHAFT außeinder. Gegen NORDIRLAND hat kaum etwas von dem, was BUNDESTRAINER Julian Nagelsmann gefordert hat, funktioniert. Spielfreude? Nicht vorhanden! Emotionalität? Ungenügend! Aufstellung? Suboptimal! Dass am Ende ein Sieg heraussprang, verdankt die DEUTSCHE NATIONALELF vor allem den Einwechselspielern. Nadiem Amiri und Maxi Beier haben das Spiel gedreht. Müssen wir nach diesen zwei schwachen LÄNDERSPIELEN den Kopf in den Sand stecken? Schaffen wir die Qualifikation zur WM 2026 überhaupt? Niko plädiert für mehr Ruhe: Bis zur WELTMEISTERSCAHFT ist es noch eine lange Zeit. Zudem fehlen aktuell wichtige Spieler. Doch können die Rückkehrer wie Jamal Musiala und Kai Havertz das Niveau tatsächlich so stark anheben, dass die DFB-ELF ein echter Titelkandidat wird? Über diese und viele weitere Fragen sprechen wir in diesem BOHNDESLIGA-Spezial zur DEUTSCHEN NATIONALMANNSCHAFT.

In this episode look back at the final pre-season game, the 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao on Saturday. We saw both Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz on the scoresheet, netting goals you might have expected the other to score, as well as one from Bukayo Saka whose pre-season comes in for some discussion. We chat a lot about Martin Zubimendi's performance, and how our new look midfield is shaping up ahead of the new season, as well as Ethan Nwaneri's new deal. Then we answer listener questions about how we deal with a more direct style of play, which striker will start at Old Trafford as well as which players won't even make the squad, the pressure on Mikel Arteta to deliver silverware this season after three successive second place finishes, 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.

Arsenal's final pre-season game brought the spark we'd been waiting for — Big Vik GYOKERES silenced the doubters with a bruising, goal-filled display, Zubimendi oozed Cesc Fabregas energy in midfield, and Kai Havertz turned up looking like he'd spent the summer living in the gym. Pete and Johnny break down the key performances, the new-look attack, and why this win could be season-defining. We also dive into Maduweke's surprise left-wing role, what it means for Martinelli, and how Arteta might rotate a now fully loaded squad heading into a brutal start to the Premier League season.

In this episode I'm back in Dublin while James is in Hong Kong, following the Arsenal tour to its conclusion. We chat about the game against Newcastle in Singapore, focusing a bit on Max Dowman and how we find the balance between obvious excitement at what he's done on the pitch versus his age and adding to the hype. We also chat about the unveiling of Viktor Gyokeres, how he and Kai Havertz will mesh in the upcoming season, and Riccardo Calafiori. Then there are listener questions about Gabriel Jesus, whether Arsenal have to react to what other teams do in the market and whether this window needs one more signing, signing a left-back, how the final month of the transfer window might play out 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.
