Footballistically Arsenal

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast and voice of Arsenal, Dan Roebuck for a reflection on the home defeat to Chelsea and look ahead to what is to come this season. With a whole host of players out it was always going to be a challenge up against the European Champions and so it proved as Arsenal were limp in their North London Derby defeat to Chelsea. Are there reasons for optimism in amongst the gloom from two opening defeats? A plan in place with transfers that we should get behind or a man in charge who isn’t right to take us forward?

Sidekick Josh has outrageously gone on holiday to avoid Arsenal-based chat but we still have top-notch insights from Alan Algar and Ricky Lawrence as they join Boyd to discuss just how bad that performance was against Brentford, the manager’s bizarre comments on Auba, why he seems to be aping Pep’s tactics with massively inferior players and if Arteta will be gone by Christmas. Plus - are we excited about the probable signing of Odegaard and of course predictions of how we’ll cope with Chelsea on Sunday.

We’re back! A new season brings new hope… or does it? Has the fanbase ever felt quite so pessimistic about a new campaign?  Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast, television star Alex Brooker to look ahead to the new season.  Boyd reports on the status of the queues at Snappy Snaps whilst Alex reveals how his latest leg artwork came about, as we look to find reasons for optimism. The trio consider the new signings, players they’d forgotten were still at the club and ponder what the new season is likely to have in store.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast, television star Alex Brooker to look back on a frustrating season. Boyd and Alex reflect on what it was like being back at the Emirates for a final day victory, with Boyd enjoying even more space than usual in Club Level as his butler delivered his drinks to his table. Alex meanwhile had the strictest steward keeping an eye on him down with the masses. Do we have reasons to be optimistic or just concerns to worry about? What happens next?

Boyd & Josh were joined by podcast regular Alan Alger who we briefly thought was being impersonated such were the moments of positivity. Arteta seems set for another season, which can’t be said for David Luiz and the trio discuss further changes we’re expecting to see this summer. There’s excitement to be back in the stadium for the Brighton game and hope against hope results fall our way and The Gunners can yet sneak into Europe.

Well, the big prizes are no longer a possibility after the misery of our Europa League exit but the double of relegating Big Sam and finishing above Spurs is still just about a possibility.

Arsenal Supporters Trust who has been at the heart of key meetings with the government, Josh Kroenke and Spotify owner Daniel Ek in recent weeks as football ownership has been firmly in the spotlight.  Meanwhile on the pitch, the biggest game of the season is just two days away as Arsenal look set to welcome Villareal to North London.

Boyd and Josh were thrilled to be joined by Formula E Driver, Arsenal Fan Alex Lynn, fresh from his podium finish at the Valencia GP. After an extraordinary week off the pitch, Goalkeeper Bernd Leno ensured an equally strange finish on it, as his peculiar own goal gave Everton all three points all but ending our slim hopes of European qualification via the League. We discuss more of the Super League fallout, any hopes of a change of ownership and how the eggs look being entirely in the European basket Listen to Season 2 Trailer from Middle Please, Umpire - a Cricket Podcast on the Acast app https://aca.st/ae002b arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2021 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

We were thrilled to welcome Leader of the Labour Party Keir Starmer to react to an extraordinary week in English football. We hear what Keir think of the last few days with the demise of the Super League, foreign ownership, fan protests, the importance of football in politics and how football can restore some of the natural balance of power it’s now missing.  We also hear about Keir’s love of the club, favourite players, memories and which box to box midfielder he bases his own game on.

It’s been a peculiar 24 hours and there was barely time to talk about Arsenal’s draw at home to Fulham as the podcast was unsurprisingly dedicated to the extraordinary news about the European Super League and Arsenal’s proposed participation. Boyd and Josh were joined by regular Alan Alger as we discussed the news, the implications and the possibilities of how Arsenal fans will react.

Boyd and Josh were joined by once voice of Arsenal Trevor Harris as they reflect on the Gunners being set for a make or break week under Arteta, with all the eggs very much in a European Basket. The trio are as upbeat as can be given it was ‘only’ Sheffield United but morale is unquestionably boosted with a strong victory and rare clean sheet. What does Arteta do with this team on Thursday? Will Cedric return or is Xhaka set to continue at Left-Back? There’s worry over Saka’s possible injury and there’s uncertainty about Aubameyang’s recent absence and if he walks back into the team. Arteta can lead the boys into the Semi’s and close the gap further on Spurs. Maybe the season isn’t quite over after all. Here’s hoping!

Boyd and Josh were joined by voice of Arsenal Dan Roebuck and Oliver Shorts to ponder one of the worst performances in recent memory which seemingly even shocked boss Mikel Arteta, as Arsenal crashed 0-3 at home to Liverpool.  With hopes of European qualification looking a distant possibility after the sobering defeat, all eggs are unquestionably in the Europa League basket. Can we say we’ve improved under Arteta? Can Aubameyang play if he’s not the main striker? Why are Arsenal so unpredictable and were Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher right to be so critical in their assessment on Sky Sports?

Boyd and Josh were back after a 3-3 thriller in East London, with the Gunners coming back from three goals down to secure a point, after a shambolic opening to the game. Tim Payton from the Arsenal Supporters Trust joined to give his take on a strange session both on and off the pitch as Tim gave his predictions for what lies ahead for the club. With a European Quarter-Final on the horizon, there’s reasons to be optimistic beyond Calum Cafu Chambers and a baller in Odegaard. This podcast supports SAFEBAND.

Legendary Arsenal fan Nick True, who famously made the banner ‘Arsene knows’ joined Boyd and Josh to reflect on one of the best weeks of the season. A deserved North London success coming on the back of an excellent away win in Greece that leaves Arsenal on the verge of reaching the last eight of the Europa League. The trio disagreed on Arteta’s handling of our captains late arrival for the game on Sunday and whether or not we deserved the penalty, but there was consensus there’s been enough encouragement to back Arteta at the end of the season regardless of how it finishes. arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2021 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd & Josh were joined by ‘Little Will’ who made a long awaited return to the podcast after a few years away.  The trio discuss Xhaka’s latest mistake as The Gunners hopes of climbing the table were floored at Burnley whilst our European prowess will once again be put to the test when they travel to Olympiakos before coming home for a highly anticipated North London Derby. Could this be another week to restore the faith or are we 10 days away from the season all but ending? Keep an ear out for an unlikely tinsel related anecdote from Will on a trip to the Arsenal training ground.  arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2021 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd & Josh were joined by legendary broadcaster Mark Pougatch for a dissection on an extremely positive week for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal. Minutes away from crashing out of Europe, the Gunners fought back to win against Benfica and followed it up with a fine victory at Leicester. Is there still time for a European push via our league form? Can Willian rediscover his form and kickstart his career? What of Odegaard’s role at number 10? All this and much more with great insight from of the best broadcasters in the business in Mark Pougatch. arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2021 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Ricky Lawrence and PR executive Max Goodbourn to react to one of the most one sided 1-0 defeats we’ll ever witness as Gooners. All eggs are firmly in the Europa League basket as Arsenal head to Athens for their time against Benfica. Could Arsenal’s season effectively be over as early as February this season or is there fight left in Arteta’s men? The lads discuss the never ending predicament with what combination of forward thinking talent the Gunners should be persisting with, whilst Boyd once more pledges allegiance to the Brendan Rodgers fan club. arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2021 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

Boyd and Josh were joined by Arsenal author Dan Betts after another miserable trip for Arsenal to the West Midlands. Are we heading for another dismal run of form like we saw in the Autumn or is Arteta still the man to see us through this transitional period? There's a mix of optimistic sandwiched with reality as success this season seems to rely on European glory or an unlikely run at the top six which certainly needs a win against Leeds. arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2021 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
