What a great chat we had on the @thesameoldarsenal.bsky.social pod this morning. Thanks to Scarlett @skrafc.bsky.social for joining us we definitely got into it... Up on all audio platforms where you get your pods. Please share, enjoy & feel free to comment too🙏🏻 open.spotify.com/episode/0kNA...

Chatted to Tim n Tom this morning. Urgently need Mik to bring in a fighter pilot who has survived crashing the plane 😥. We march on. 👇 youtu.be/BJRLTPEKhFI?...

A few thoughts about what we take from our back to back cup exits. Terrible mistakes? Clown music getting louder? Or just the sharp end of some squad preservation for the big competitions? Spoiler: I think a little of both... 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

I thought it was really classy that Mik made the team watch the City celebrations, and quite pertinent — he clearly wants them to learn from the pain of losing. I said so in my birthday card to him. 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Another international break is here, so Coach & friend of the pod, Scarlet @skrafc.bsky.social, discussed: 🔴 Arsenal narratives… ⚪️ Odegaard’s return? 🔴 Saka’s form & more. Tap in! 🍎 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... 🟢 open.spotify.com/episode/1DQY... 📺 youtu.be/eqTQLbyJSHk

Jumped on @skysportpl.bsky.social yesterday to discuss the cup final. The less said about that the better. I do think Mikel has to be brave down the stretch about using players who put the ball at risk.

We are ze famous Arsenal youtu.be/PuAJ9Y3VgSY?...

imminent relegation aside, it's really a source of embarrassment that the Emirates hosts Boyzone this Summer and Spurs get Beyonce...

Cup final up next but today I’m at Arsenal women. Feels right to be in Arsenal land ahead of a huge day for the club. Cup final preview episode dropped yesterday ⬇️ youtu.be/m__sBK4ZqX0?...

Sunday's one off game will hinge on one off moments. Here's hoping our protagonists step forwards when it really matters. 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

A comfortable result in the end with 2 beautiful goals too. Looking forward to chatting all about this & our trip to Wembley with guest @skrafc.bsky.social & co host James on the @thesameoldarsenal.bsky.social pod Wednesday (tomorrow) evening at 7.30pm. 👇🏻 pls share. www.youtube.com/live/a1DQfvR...

Same guy

Arsenal winning the league would represent an existential threat to Paul Scholes. His entire worldview would collapse. 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9Li...

Look there were so many moments yesterday that could be categorized as game changing for Arsenal... I think the game changed when this happened 😂

"It's too soon to dip for the line." Why I think we might've gone too early 👇 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

In Arsenal’s case, a bit of emotional deprioritisation of the CL is understandable. The lineup was strong enough to go and win that game. The league has been and will be so harrowing etc. BUT this draw is an opening you wait years for. We must find a way to take the initiative

Obvs we want City to play endless football and be knackered when they face us but they’ll have to fight at the Etihad next week - and you can’t underestimate the vibe and aura loss of losing football matches!

My response to those charming words written by an alleged Arsenal fan this week. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba... "To those who might describe Arsenal fans as "insufferable", I would say 1) Maybe you're right and 2) So what?"

Better late than never. Our podcast is now up on all audio platforms.. Our thanks to @skrafc.bsky.social from The Goal difference podcast for guesting on the @thesameoldarsenal.bsky.social with myself and James she was excellent 👌🏻 Feel free to share & enjoy 🙌🏻 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b...

Lots of frustration after yesterday. Think we did enough to win tbh. Sorely missing Hincapie and Cala... but our injuries are not relevant to public discourse! Anyway, I think safe standing is going to improve our atmosphere! (Which I'm obsessed with) www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba....

A cold light of day and at times painful assessment of the game from Jonathan Liew. Arsenal home crowd has the shortest of fuses... to an extent understandably so. But does my head in that people can't enjoy where we are or understand how good things are.

Brilliant line in here: "It began with North London Forever and by the end we felt as though we had been in north London for ever". 😂

Just enjoying my Thursday watching some highlights. I know they call it the Emptyhad but close title race/ potentially deciding home points??? I don't get it.

Declan Rice signing off from his interview like he's wrapping up a call with his mum. I love him.

Although that was a nervy last few minutes, at 1-0 down and later in the game at 2-3, I felt such calm from the boys. This does feel different to last season and Wolves/ Palace moments. They didn’t drop deep, they just played decent football.

I’d like to see Gabi Jesus start up front tonight. Don’t think we’ll see the transitional game we saw at Villa Park. Control and precision needed and for the love of god Arsenal, finish your dinner! youtu.be/Cc7DmtPa4G0?...

Got up way too early this morning to jump on @bbc5live.bsky.social and reflect on last night. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... (from around 15 minutes in) Key takeaways: - Personal justice served to Yerson Mosquera (karma is real) - we were lucky - More injuries

I know Zubi just got a chant to ‘last Christmas’ BUT… I feel there’s an opportunity not taken here (Zubimeeendi) youtu.be/GP3Exc5tCtc?...

Are we choosing the wrong CBs to cover for Big Gabby and Saliba? Thought Calafiori looked class last night, Hincapie has great aggression but seems to teeter on the edge of disaster. Would love to see him have a go at LB.

Another episode of The Goal Difference with you wherever you get your podcasts! Listen below 👇 - Why losing at Villa hurts so much - Rotation this week against Club Brugge - Holding our nerve for the rest of the title race youtu.be/1YPAmWr8G-U?...

Genuinely think Calafiori would do a decent big Gabby impression

It would be nice to play someone when we have all our players fit and the opposition are in the midst of an injury crisis.

I actually think we were stronger for Timber’s presence at CB on Wednesday. Thank God for Benny Blanco’s form and fitness. Feels like we’re really on the ropes physically but certainly enough quality in there to win.

Full time analysis

I know we’ve already moved on bc nbd to beat Spurs, but I thought the club did a great and important job managing the pre-match on Sunday. Wrote about it here: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

A genuine pleasure chatting to Jay Bothroyd and Tom White on #SkySportsFC this morning. Just hope we’re still smiling after Sunday. youtu.be/HsuMPqmZ8Ig?...

Should we be concerned about MLS? I asked @mitchpeotter.bsky.social

Last night I dreamt about shithousing Pep Guardiola by telling him how good Haaland was? I think it’s fair to say City have moved in rent free upstairs. Probably why I wouldn’t make a very good manager. Oh well, thankfully Mikel and the boys are made of much tougher stuff than me.

⚽️ NEW EPISODE! ⚽️ Chatted with the brilliant @mitchpeotter.bsky.social from @theplantainshow.bsky.social for a special episode. - Are Ethan and MLS doing ok? - What to expect from Saka - Thank you big Vic Listen wherever you pod 🫵👇 Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyIh...

Gutted that the no shots on target era is over. Still loving our defence. Great to be on @skysportpl.bsky.social with the usual Jamie O’Hara.

Re-upping this after the big Vic news. Such a shame, he was building a head of steam. We need to find a way of keeping that ball rolling till after the international break.

Absolutely loved chatting to the @theplantainshow.bsky.social guys. They are all legends!

Thank you to @skrafc.bsky.social for joining us!
