Footballistically Arsenal

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  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2025 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

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 Boyd looks for positives from a miserable weekend. Thanks as always for listening, we’ll be back after the Forest game. arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2025 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Learn more about your ad choices.

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 Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2025 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Learn more about your ad choices.

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 30th birthday… Thanks as for listening we’ll be back next week! arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  Engineered by Leon Gorman  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2024 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Learn more about your ad choices.

We look at Saka’s extraordinary influence, more refereeing frustrations, and a slightly cryptic Arteta…Thanks as always for listening, we’ll be back next week.  arsenalpodcast.net  @arsenalpodcast  Produced by Josh Landy  A Playback Media Production  playbackmedia.co.uk  Copyright 2024 Playback Media Ltd - playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Learn more about your ad choices.
