Arseblog - the arsecasts, arsenal podcasts

This month's episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast is an Emirates Cup special, with the Arsenal Women taking on Bayern Munich Frauen at Emirates Stadium this Sunday. Arsenal have signed a total of six players from Bayern over the last 3 summers now, to get a perspective on how Bayern became Arsenal's feeder club, as well as a new era for the Bavarian side who have just changed their manager for the first time in a decade, Tim talks to Bayern fan Sven Beyrich. Goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger joined Arsenal from Bayern this summer and will make her debut against her former club at the Emirates on Sunday, Tim talks to her about a new challenge at Arsenal, how she describes herself as a goalkeeper and what attracted her to Arsenal. We wrap the episode up with Pippa chatting to Irish international Katie McCabe about pre-season, her aspirations for the season and the big game against Bayern at the Emirates. All of these interviews are exclusive to this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast.  For information regarding your data privacy, visit

This week, Andrew is in Washington DC and up very early to record with James who is just back from a rave in a forest. We chat about the game against Fiorentina in Charlotte, the goals from Eddie Nketiah and his potential place in the squad next season, and some of the other behind the scenes bits and pieces from the US tour. We also discuss transfers, selling players, Krystian Bielik, whether signing Wilfried Zaha would 'kill' Reiss Nelson, and lots more besides.  For information regarding your data privacy, visit

Because I'm travelling this week and I had no way of speaking to guests about stuff, this week's podcast is based around our 2-1 win over Bayern Munich in Los Angeles. I took my mic and Zoom into the press box, and recorded myself after key moments, making very astute and interesting observations about stuff, and with some end of game player ratings too. This is posted just after I've got to Charlotte, North Carolina this evening, so please excuse any mistakes because I am banjaxed with tiredness. For information regarding your data privacy, visit

This week Andrew is in LA and James is in London so it's a goodly morning/goodly evening situation going on. We chat about the #wecaredoyou campaign which has ignited the fanbase and the media regarding the owner Stan Kroenke. Will it have any effect? What can we realistically hope for, and what kind of impact might it have? We also discuss Laurent Koscielny, our transfer business (or lack of), Raul, Unai Emery, Edu and lots more including listener questions as usual. For information regarding your data privacy, visit

On this week's show I chat about the Laurent Koscielny bombshell with the BBC's David Ornstein. What has happened to get the situation to this point? Is there any way back for the soon to be former captain? And where does this leave the centre of our defence ahead of next season? We also discuss transfers, and all the things Arsenal need to do but unfortunately don't appear to be close to doing at this moment in time. Then it's Edu, and our new Technical Director is the topic of discussion with Tim Stillman – going from his playing days with us, to his administrative roles with Corinthians and Brazil. What kind of an impact can he have on the future of this mental football club? Follow David
