Arseblog Arsecast, The Arsenal Podcast

In this episode I'm joined by Philippe Auclair to discuss the Premier League statement released this week in relation to Man City being found guilty of 114 of the 115 charges made against them. We discuss how strident the statement was, and how well presented the evidence is in the findings document, before we chat about coverage of this in the media, whether there might be political interference in any punishment the Premier League might dispense, and what the future holds for the club as long as the current owners are in place. We also touch on Pep Guardiola's statement, what level of sanction might be applied, how the Pandora's Box for legal action from other clubs and beyond has only just opened, the impact on fans, and lots more.

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie look back over Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat at Chelsea on Sunday and ask where it leaves the season, how much the issues in front of goal are tactical and how much they are psychological, and how much increased squad depth is leading to confusion and a lack of cohesion. There is analysis of the team selection, a promising opening 30 minutes, another sloppy goal conceded and substitutions that appeared to create confusion over clarity. In part two, Tim and Jamie field questions submitted on BlueSky.

This episode is dominated by the biggest story in football right now, Man City being found guilty on 114 of the 115 charges that have been leveled at them by the Premier League. We discuss that verdict, the length of time the case has been ongoing, before exploring the impact their financial doping has had on the game. It doesn't just impact other clubs, but fans too pay the price for the inflationary landscape. We also discuss the possible outcome and what we think would be suitable punishment for what they have done, and the way they have damaged the Premier League and football more broadly. There are some listener questions too, touching on Mikel Arteta's connection with Man City, how the league should respond, as well as some brief Kai Havertz/Viktor Gyokeres chat, and more.

In this episode I'm joined first by Clive Palmer to talk about Arsenal's opening eight games of the season, and how we feel about how they went, with the context of the recent defeat to Brighton looming over everything. We also chat about Bukayo Saka and whether there's been a tactical shift applied to his game, where we're missing something in the squad, Declan Rice's withdrawal from England duty, where we continue to go under Mikel Arteta with news that his new contract is imminent, and more.

After that, I talk to Dominic Hougham, author of a new book entitled: 'The Greatest Rivalry: Arsenal, Manchester United and the Battle that Defined an Era'. We discuss those incredible years when we went head to head with them, the roles of the manager, the changing face of English football, some of the individual and team battles, and lots more – including your chance to win a copy of the book.
