In this episode we look back at the 3-2 defeat to Man Utd on Sunday, Arsenal's first home loss of the season. We try to understand how the team went from in control of the game, to 1-0 up and then lost its way in almost every way possible, on and off the ball. There's analysis of the goals we conceded, scrutiny of Mikel Arteta's quadruple change from the bench which felt more desperate than anything else, the impact of those subs, equalising through Mikel Merino before United got the winner. Has this been in the post a bit over the last few weeks due to our recent form, and why is there a difference in level between Premier League and the cup competitions? We also have questions about the atmosphere/fan reaction, magic moments (or lack of), our under-performing attack and whether it's a collective loss of form or something more structural, the need to change the dynamic of the team and ways we can do so, 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.

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.

In this episode we look back at the 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest on Saturday. We start by reckoning with the fact we've extended our lead at the top, despite a sense of frustration that permeated after a goalless draw. Then we move onto the match itself, and the key incidents including big chances missed by Gabriel Martinelli and Viktor Gyokeres, with some focus on the striker, what he's not bringing to the team right now, and what that requires of Mikel Arteta. There were second half changes, a slightly contentious penalty incident, but the game played out in disappointing fashion as we struggled to create. In part 2 there are questions about our attacking potency based on some stats, Declan Rice's 'outburst' at the end, how we view draws, Martin Odegaard, reconfiguring midfield from time to time, and loads more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblog Hosted on Acast.

Episode 163 – Missing In The ForestArsenal leave the City Ground with a point, but not without frustration. In this episode of The Non-Negotiables Podcast, the panel break down a goalless draw that felt defined by control, territory, and chances that never quite turned into goals.The conversation begins with Mikel Arteta's selection choices, rotation decisions, and how Arsenal approached a Nottingham Forest side set up to sit deep and limit space. From there, attention turns to the pattern of the game itself — early pressure, sustained dominance, and a growing sense that the first goal was becoming increasingly important.Missed chances become the central theme, with detailed discussion around key moments in both halves, decision-making in the final third, and whether Arsenal's attacking structure is giving the right players the right types of opportunities. The panel also assess individual performances, physical match-ups, and how certain moments shaped the rhythm and confidence of the side.Focus then shifts to the midfield balance, exploring the roles of Rice, Ødegaard, and Zubimendi, and whether Arsenal's current setup is providing enough fluency, control, and threat against low-block opponents. There's also reflection on substitutions, game management, and how fine margins can quietly define results like this.Beyond the Forest match, the episode widens out to the bigger picture — Arsenal's scoring output, historic context around title-winning teams, and what separates very good sides from truly elite ones. Despite the frustration on the night, rival results mean Arsenal extend their advantage at the top of the Premier League, prompting a broader discussion about mentality, pressure, and navigating a title race.Part two features a full Whip Around the Grounds from Matchweek 22, VAR decisions that dominated the weekend, and a look ahead to Arsenal's upcoming Champions League trip to Inter Milan, including selection questions and fitness considerations.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(00:51) - Nottingham Forest Setup, Rotation & Selection Debate(02:42) - Missed Chances Theme & Early Frustration(04:17) - Zubimendi Decision-Making & Wasteful Moments(06:11) - Gyökeres vs Murillo & Physical Limits(08:50) - Second-Half Pressure & Rice's Poor Contact Volley(09:54) - Saka Header & Goalkeeper Save(10:37) - Set-Piece Chances & Merino Blocking Gabriel(11:39) - Handball Shout, VAR Frustration & Perspective(13:21) - Arteta Substitutions & Game Management(16:48) - Midfield Balance, System Issues & Tactical Fit(20:30) - Ødegaard Form, Captaincy & Physical Games(25:42) - Rice vs Ødegaard Axis & Structural Questions(28:11) - Eze Debate & Timber at Left-Back(29:18) - Arsenal's Scoring Problem & Historic Context(30:46) - Top-End Talent Debate & Title Ceiling(32:20) - Mentality vs Margins Discussion(37:08) - The Champions Difference & Elite Match Winners(39:34) - Recruitment Philosophy & Building Champions(41:41) - Match Stats, xG & Defensive Control(43:26) - Part Two Intro & Zinchenko Joins Ajax(45:15) - Whip Around the Grounds – Matchweek 22(52:42) - VARse: Manchester Derby, Anfield & North London(01:00:26) - Studio Debate & Weekend Fallout(01:01:01) - Champions League Context & Inter Milan Preview(01:05:29) - Havertz Fitness, Rotation & Forward Options(01:10:50) - Closing Thoughts

Ander Iturralde da la bienvenida a Gonzalo Carol, José Pérez y Rafa Pastrana para analizar toda la acción del fin de semana en la Premier League...Comenzando por el derby de Manchester con la deslumbrante victoria del United sobre el City en el estreno de Michael Carrick como entrenador de los Red Devils contra unos cielos azules languideciendo esta vez bajo las órdenes de Guardiola; bajo las de Mikel Arteta el Arsenal fue incapaz de encontrar la manera de derrotar al Nottingham Forest; cosa que el Aston Villa tampoco fue capaz de hallar pero el Everton sí a su propia costa para ser cada día un poquito más Everton que el día anterior; mientras que el entrenador anterior del Tottenham es a lo que va camino Thomas Frank después de una descorazonadora derrota a manos del West Ham de Nuno y Paco Jémez; como a manos del Sunderland perdió el Crystal Palace perdiendo completamente el rumbo para la rabia y frustración de su entrenador Oliver Glasner; cosa que sigue siendo del Liverpool, entrenador, Arne Slot tras un empate de sinsabores o quizás agrio y amargo contra el Burnley en una temporada que sigue encallándose a menudo; pero no para un Leeds que volvió a ganar, esta vez al Fulham, en su espectacular racha del último mes y medio; el Chelsea seguramente debió perder con el Brentford pero su talento individual se lo impidió; como al Newcastle el súper Wolverhampton le impidió ganar también; pero la Copa África sí que la ganó Senegal mientras que en Championship hubo el habitual surtido variado así como también un análisis del Real Madrid con el que completamos el programa de hoy.Escucha este episodio sin censura y con escena pre y post-créditos, apoya que Alineación Indebida pueda prosperar, accede a todo nuestro contenido premium y a nuestro server de Discord suscribiéndote por tan sólo 1.00$/1.00€ en: https://www.patreon.com/posts/148572122Además...

On this episode, Harry Symeou reviews Arsenal's 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest. Mikel Arteta's Gunners missed the opportunity to extend their lead over Manchester City to a huge nine points. Sure, we've gained another point on Pep Guardiola's side who were beaten at Old Trafford on Saturday but it's fair to say Arsenal's performance at the City ground was well below the levels we've come to expect in recent seasons.

Mikel Arteta's Big Decisions, The Worst Arsenal Transfers & Zubimendi Dreamland ft James Benge!

While it may seem like Manchester United's season is about over, knocked out of both domestic cups, not in European football, and out of the title contention, they still want to qualify for next season's Champions League. As the table stands at present, United are only three points off that coveted fourth spot in the league. A win in the Manchester Derby could propel them on to a strong second half. City will look to narrow the gap on league leaders Arsenal who play after them away at Nottingham Forest, always a tough fixture for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. Chelsea's new look side will host Brentford in a London Derby. The Blues will look to implement new coach, Liam Rosenior's tactics in order to take full points against the Bees.

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.

The NN Pod breaks down Arsenal's win away on the south coast as Mikel Arteta's side navigate a difficult afternoon at Bournemouth and keep momentum building ahead of Liverpool's visit to the Emirates.We begin with a deep dive into a disjointed first half — why Arsenal struggled for control, how Bournemouth disrupted rhythm, and where structure and decision-making fell short. The conversation then shifts to the second-half response, with Declan Rice's authority, aggression, and brace central to Arsenal regaining control and getting the job done.Key discussion points include:Why Arsenal played into Bournemouth's hands earlyRice's leadership, mentality, and growing influence in defining gamesGabriel's error and instant redemptionMidfield balance, pressing, and second-half adjustmentsFrom there, we move into Whip Around the Grounds (WATG), covering the weekend's Premier League action — including Liverpool, Manchester City, Spurs, Aston Villa, and the wider title-race context.Next up is VARse, breaking down refereeing and VAR flashpoints from across the league, including major incidents at Brentford vs Spurs and Fulham vs Liverpool, alongside a wider discussion on offside decisions, consistency, and the state of VAR.The episode also steps away from the pitch to discuss:Ruben Amorim's Manchester United exit and the wider managerial churnEdu, Nottingham Forest, and reassessing narratives around recruitment and influenceWe wrap up with:The Who Am I? (Game)A Liverpool preview, looking ahead to a pivotal night at the Emirates — mindset, tactics, and what Arsenal must get rightAnother three points secured.

Are Ruben Amorim's days at Manchester United numbered after his insistence he's there to “manage” the team not coach? Clinton Morrison and Luke Edwards join Rick Edwards to discuss the unrest at Old Trafford and dissect the best of the weekend's Premier League action. Chelsea's late equaliser against Manchester City means Arsenal extend their lead at the top of the Premier League. They're six points clear thanks to what Mikel Arteta called an “immense” performance from Declan Rice, his two goals helped them to a 3-2 win at Bournemouth. Harrison Reed's wonder strike may have denied Liverpool a win at Fulham but is Florian Wirtz' goalscoring form the only bright spark for Arne Slot? Plus, Wolves finally have their first win of the season, what does that mean for West Ham and Nuno Espirito Santo.

On this episode, Harry Symeou looks back at what feels like another huge win at Bournemouth for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. It finished Bournemouth 2-3 Arsenal in the Premier League. Evanilson put the cherries ahead after Gabriel's mistake, only for Arsenal's Brazilian defender to go down the other end and equalise within six minutes. A barn-storming performance from Declan Rice saw him score a second half double to put the Gunners 3-1 up but it was a slightly nervy ending after Kroupi halved the deficit.

In this episode I'm joined by Phil Costa to look back on Tuesday evening's 4-1 win over Aston Villa. After a frustrating first half in many ways, Arsenal turned the screw to take all three points with goals from Gabriel, Martin Zubimendi, Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Jesus. We examine the key moments from both halves, and analyse the goals we scored, particularly the one with the goalkeeping error. There's also discussion of Gabriel's importance, Leandro Trossard's output, Martin Odegaard, Jesus getting back on the scoresheet after a year, handshake drama, the fun to be had with a game of this kind, a statement win from Mikel Arteta's team which ensured we go into 2026 on top of the Premier League, 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.

Retribution delivered. Statement made.Arsenal respond emphatically to Aston Villa with a dominant 4–1 win at the Emirates, reasserting control, standards, and authority after recent frustration. With Declan Rice missing, Mikel Arteta's side are forced to adapt — and ultimately overwhelm Villa through structure, pressure, and second-half execution.We break down a chaotic first half that played into Villa's running game, the key half-time reset, and how Arsenal regained control after the break. Gabriel's return to set-piece dominance, Ødegaard's midfield authority, and Zubimendi's composed finish define a ruthless spell that puts the game beyond doubt, before late sloppiness dents the scoreline.The discussion also covers Merino's second-yellow escape, left-side balance issues, Raya's late interventions, and why this performance felt inevitable after weeks of underlying dominance.Part two features the Who Am I? game, debate over the Declan Rice injury leak, Premier League prediction games including Leeds vs Manchester United, Wolves vs West Ham relegation context, and a Bournemouth preview with selection questions, injury concerns, and rotation talk ahead of a busy schedule.A response episode. A standards episode.

In this episode we look back at Saturday's 2-1 win over Brighton which sent Arsenal back to the top of the Premier League. We chat about how the game made us feel, with a single goal lead feeling very precarious in the final stages, and we try and unpack the reasons why that is right now. Then we get into the game itself, the dominant first half performance, Martin Odegaard's goal and other chances to score, before we turn our attention to the second half, extending the lead, conceding a goal, and David Raya's incredible save to keep it 2-1. The first half finishes with reflections on our league position, and not being entirely convincing but still winning, and then in part two we answer listener questions about the striker situation, Gabriel's return, Mikel Arteta's substitutions, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke's playing time, and loads more.Get extra bonus content and help support Arseblog by becoming an Arseblog Member on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/arseblo Hosted on Acast.

In this episode we look back at Saturday's 1-0 win away to Everton, having experienced the game in different ways. One viewing was much less anxious than the other, so how does that translate into analysis of the performance? We chat about the penalty award and the emphatic take by Viktor Gyokeres, and ask if that might be the confidence boost he really needs. There's also discussion of second half chances, Arsenal hitting the post twice, and winning while not playing at our very best. In the second half there are questions about Ethan Nwaneri, how Mikel Arteta might rotate for the EFL Cup tie against Crystal Palace, the team's attacking threat and whether the manager needs to try something different in attack, and lots 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.
