Arsecast Extra Episode 699 - 15.06.2026

Episode 882 - Statement signing

In this episode I'm joined by Art de Roche to talk about Arsenal at the World Cup, and the ongoing concerns around Declan Rice who looked physically shattered throughout England's 2-1 win over DR Congo. We then chat about how the price of the average midfielder has risen so highly with some high profile, high price deals going through this week, and how that might influence what the club need to do this summer. I also ask if this window needs Arsenal to make a 'statement' signing, such as PSG winger Bradley Barcola, using the pull from being Champions and Champions League finalists to bring in the calibre of player who can really help us retain the title and go one better in Europe. There's also a link to a back-up goalkeeper, some thoughts on Santi Cazorla after he announced his retirement, and lots more. Here's the Sid Lowe interview with Santi Cazorla mentioned in the pod - https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/sep/07/santi-cazorla-villarreal-injury-arsenal-interview-sid-lowe [https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/sep/07/santi-cazorla-villarreal-injury-arsenal-interview-sid-lowe] 🌎 Get an exclusive 15% discount on your first Saily data plans!

Arsecast Extra Episode 701 - 29.06.2026

In this episode there's some more background to Arsenal's reported interest in Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, as well as a conversation about the player versus the person. He would certainly add quality to the midfield but our chequered past with him as an opponent gives us, as fans, something to think about if a deal does go through. We also chat about Granit Xhaka being linked with Chelsea, and further departures from the medical team which will see that area of our backroom set-up require a significant refresh. As well as that we answer questions about where our priorities lie next season between Premier League and Champions League, potential full-back signings, Piero Hincapie, ranking our World Cup players as the best of their nation to ever play for us, plus there's waffle, nonsense, geographical ignorance, and lots more. 🌎 Get an exclusive 15% discount on your first Saily data plans!

Episode 881 - Swap shop

In this episode I'm joined by Tim Stillman to chat about Arsenal's Brazilians in World Cup action, England's draw with Ghana that featured four of our players, but which raised more questions about Declan Rice's fitness and how we cope with that ahead of next season. We also talk about what Mikel Arteta might have learned from last season, backroom changes – especially in the medical department, the rumoured swap deal involving Julian Alvarez and Viktor Gyokeres, players pushing through the pain, Aaron Ramsey moving into management, and lots more.

Arsenal Women Arsecast Episode 169: June Mailbag

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie take listener questions from BlueSky on Arsenal’s rebuild and how it is going, the impact for all women’s football of a rapidly inflating market for salaries and transfer fees, why Arsenal and Manchester City doesn’t seem to be a proper rivalry yet, why paths for academy players are shrinking in the WSL, how recruitment and infrastructure has improved over the last five years and revisiting the article from the Athletic last winter about dressing room discord.

Arsecast Extra Episode 700 - 22.06.2026

In this episode we discuss the Premier League fixture list which was released late last week, as that's about the only Arsenal related news there is at the moment. Then attention turns to the World Cup and some of more interesting results, not least small nations like Curacao and Cape Verde producing excellent results against more storied opposition. We also talk about how the ad-breaks are being viewed by fans but unfortunately not enough people with stature in the game are scathing enough about them, the first of a kind red card for Miguel Almiron, before we answer questions about the left-hand side transfer plans this summer, whether we need to sign a striker and what kind of profile that player might be, some of the punditry on US television involving Thierry Henry, whether £100m+ is the going rate for a Premier League midfielder, and lots more. Well, some more. We did our best!  🌎 Get an exclusive 15% discount on your first Saily data plans! Use code arseblog at checkout.
