Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode we chat about a milestone birthday for James, talking on planes, and first impressions of the World Cup – in particular the fact the games are being broken into four quarters by unnecessary 'hydration breaks' which are being used to introduce more advertising slots. Beyond the commercial elements, they also have a material impact on the games, and it's not positive. We then round up the Arsenal involvement in the games so far, and some of the results we've seen, before we answer listener questions about changes the medical staff, transfer stories involving Christos Tzolis and Ayyoub Bouaddi, what we might do at right back with injury worries over Jurrien Timber and Ben White, potential surprise sales, what a midfield arrival might mean for Myles Lewis-Skelly, and lots more.

In this episode I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to chat about some more end of season Arsenal stuff, reaction to the Champions League final in terms of how both teams are perceived in football style terms but without sufficient context, before we discuss the upcoming World Cup which starts today. There's focus on Gianni Infantino and the way he has made FIFA his own personal fiefdom, building power and influence, but being too cowardly to use it when his own people need it. There are some wider thoughts on the tournament as a whole, a little more Arsenal stuff at the end, a chance to win a cool celebration photo book, and more.

Here's the photo-zine mentioned in the competition – https://lowerblock.com/product/arsenal-champions-again-2025-26/

In this episode I'm joined by Laura Kirk-Francis and Andrew Allen to continue the enjoyment of Arsenal winning the league, the celebrations that engendered all around the world and at the parade last Sunday. We chat about the need to keep celebrating after so many people told us we shouldn't, Mikel Arteta and how this title win might impact him (if at all), what it means for the players to see the extent of the fanbase, before we revisit some of our pre-season podcast conversation with Laura and Andrew about things we'd have to contend with this season, the manager, media coverage, rating the transfer window and lots more.
