After The Lord Declan's Show

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Dean (AFCamden) to reflect on another disappointing draw as Arsenal failed to put any pressure on Liverpool as the inevitable Premier League title for Merseyside draws ever nearer. We turn our attention to arguably the biggest game in 15 years for the club as the Gunners travel to Madrid with a 3-0 first leg lead. Thanks as always for listening and we’ll be back, hopefully as Champions’s League semi-finalists! arsenalpodcast.net @arsenalpodcast ...

GREATEST NIGHT EVER

Boyd and Josh couldn’t resist getting together for a celebratory podcast after the most extraordinary evening at the Emirates Stadium as the Gunners outplayed the European Champions winning 3-0. We relive the shock and joy of an incredible night we could scarcely believe that leaves us dreaming of Champion’s League success. We ponder the odds of Rice striking twice from free-kicks, reflect on perhaps the greatest atmosphere the Emirates Stadium has seen, and dare to dream of success in Munich. T...

Stay in Your Seat

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Alan Alger to reflect on a draw on Merseyside as Arsenal’s title challenge was all but formally extinguished at Goodison Park, due to an extremely debatable penalty given against Lewis-Skelly. Our attention turns to a huge match against Real Madrid in the Champion’s League as we ponder the possibility of one of the biggest and best atmospheres at the Emirates Stadium, and our hopes and chances of reaching the semi final. Thanks as always for lis...

Arteta In & Out

Boyd and Josh were joined by good friend of the podcast Tim Payton to reflect on a narrow but important victory against Chelsea as Arsenal look to cement their 2nd spot. Tim gives us the latest on increased ticket pricing and club strategy on all things attendance.

No Saka, No Coleslaw

Boyd and Josh are back with staunch guest Alan Alger who has some typically forthright views after our disappointing draw at Old Trafford. In fact we all have forthright views. We also discuss the Sky punditry and the free kick controversy and look ahead to what is a weird situation this week in the return leg of the Champions League tie v PSV, and the Chelsea game this weekend. arsenalpodcast.net @arsenalpodcast Produced by Josh Landy Engineered by Leon Gorman A Playback Media Production playba...

The Lea & Perrins Analogy

Boyd is joined by Josh and guests Ricky Lawrence and Oli Shorts for a swift on-the-whistle analysis of our disappointing 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest. And even more excitingly, Josh and Ricky are podcasting while on their electric car journey home from the City Ground as they were about to run out of juice. We did have time to lament the end of our title challenge while looking forward to the Champions League and coming up with some choice analogies. Thanks for listening! arsenalpodcast.net @...

Felt Like a Funeral

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast sports commentator Trevor Harris to look back on what feels like a pivotal weekend in the Premier League title race as Arsenal fell to a shock 1-0 defeat at the hands of West Ham. We vent our frustrations at our lack of attacking options and query whether we should bemoan our luck or point the finger at Arteta, or perhaps more widely at the Club’s lack of transfer activity. Trevor believes Champion’s League qualification is not a formality while...

An Inspired Pair of Mikel's

Josh and Boyd were together to look back on a massively important victory at Leicester as Mikel Merino became the unlikely striker to get Arsenal over the line and keep the momentum in this title chase. We reflect on the hugely disappointing Kai Havertz news from Dubai, frustrations with Sterling, excitement with Nwaneri, and if we will be in a much stronger position come a week today… thanks as always for listening! arsenalpodcast.net @arsenalpodcast Produced by Josh Landy Engineered by Leon Go...

Miles Off It

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Alan Alger to look back at a pivotal victory at Molineux. Surprisingly we didn’t all agree on the validity of the red card that was shown to Myles Lewis-Skelly, as Alan turned to still images to prove his point. We did all take great heart from Arsenal digging out a victory and ponder if the upcoming week is the most crucial of the season so far… Thanks as always for listening, we’ll be back next week. arsenalpodcast.net @arsenalpodcast Produced...

No Birthday Cheer

With Boyd away in New York, Josh took the reins of the podcast and was joined by Alan Alger and Ricky Lawrence to reflect on a draw in West London as Arsenal and Fulham shared the spoils. How damaging will those dropped points be to our title hopes? And is there a danger of over reliance on set pieces after yet another Arsenal corner success. We take a moment to hear about Alan’s extraordinarily expensive home end ticket before questioning whether we’d have given some minutes to Raheem on his 30...

Gabriel Corner Mystery

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Dean (AFCamden) to look back at an extraordinary first half at the London Stadium as Arsenal hit West Ham for 5 in a pulsating first 45 minutes. We ponder if this return to form could be enough to catch up with Liverpool, whether their victory against Man City leaves an ominous task. Trossard is back in Boyd’s good books, we revel in our European away form and look ahead to the visit of Man United. Thanks as always for listening! arsenalpodcast....

Don’t kill Trossard

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Ricky Lawrence to evaluate Arsenal’s 2-2 draw against title rivals Liverpool as Arsenal twice failed to hold on to a lead. We discuss if we should be proud how the team is standing up despite defensive injuries and suspensions, or if in reality this was two huge points dropped in what could have been a must win game.
