Can't Find The Handbrake

Boyd, Josh and Alan reflect on a routine home victory against West Ham that lifted Arsenal to the top of the table heading into the international break. We discuss Ødegaard's injury misfortune, Saka's 200th game for Arsenal, Arteta's 300th, and our newly found odd-on status for the title! Enjoy the international break and we'll be back in 2 weeks. ⁠arsenalpodcast.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@arsenalpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Produced by Josh Landy  A Playback Media Production  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠playbackmedia.co.uk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Copyright 2025 Playback Media Ltd - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Learn more about your ad choices.

Boyd, Josh and Alan reflected on a joyous last gasp win at Newcastle, as Arsenal claimed what could be a huge victory at a stadium they have struggled at in recent years. We discuss whether the handbrake has been on, and if we can now truly say it's off as Arsenal go favourites with bookmakers for the Premier League title... ⁠arsenalpodcast.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@arsenalpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Produced by Josh Landy  A Playback Media Production  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠playbackmedia.co.uk⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  Copyright 2025 Playback Media Ltd - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠playbackmedia.co.uk/copyright Learn more about your ad choices.

Boyd, Josh and Alan come together to reflect on an important point as Martinelli's late strike salvaged a draw at the Emirates against Manchester City. Whilst we do talk about the game in depth, we first celebrate former Footballistically Arsenal podcaster Ben Winston's appointment to the Arsenal boardroom, and reflect on how proud we are to have one of the original voices of this very show in such a coveted position. We reflected on just how crucial that late goal could be, who the pressure is on to deliver success this season, and look ahead to trips to Port Vale, and then Newcastle on Sunday.

Boyd, Josh and Alan reflect on an impressive victory against Nottingham Forest in what was a particularly enjoyable afternoon at the Emirates Stadium. We laud the performance of Noni Madueke and celebrate the strength and depth this squad has, is it perhaps the strongest since we moved the Emirates Stadium? We look back on Zubimendi's double, Mosquera's impressive showing, Eze's silky skills... all from a performance where there was so much to enjoy. Alan admits he missed the second goal and promises to never do it again! We also look ahead to a trip to Spain in mid-week, before pondering the visit of Manchester City next weekend. Thanks as always for listening, we'll be back this time next week! ⁠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 Josh away again it’s another one on one with Boyd and Alan discussing the Liverpool game and the differences in opinion between some fans and pundits who think we’re too cautious and others who think our record against the top 6 justifies our tactics especially when we only lost to a freak worldie free kick goal. Plus chat about corners, substitutes, team selection and much more… 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.

While Josh is busy at a wedding (priorities!), Boyd is joined by Alan to discuss one of those rare occasions at the Emirates when everything seems to go right (especially now it seems like the injuries to Saka and Ode aren’t that serious), from the thrilling unveiling of Eberechi Eze, to the home debut goals for Gyokeres to the stunning arrival of Max Dowman. All good, (almost) no notes! 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 and Josh were joined by Alan Alger to reflect on an opening day victory at Old Trafford as Arsenal secured yet another 1-0 away win at the theatre of dreams. It most certainly wasn't pretty as Arsenal secured all 3 points whilst not playing at their very best. We discuss an opening hour for Gyökeres and an inspired day for David Raya, on a quiet afternoon for most of our team. Ultimately, a hugely important opening day victory as the Gunners get off to the perfect start in the new Premier League season. 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.

Zubimendi, Gyokeres, Madueke... should we dare to dream? 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 and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Alan Alger to look back to not only a victory at Southampton but overall at a campaign that saw Arsenal finish as runners up for the third year in a row yet will be well remembered for the extraordinary Champion's League nights against Real Madrid as Arsenal found their way to the final 4. Last time we finished 2nd 3 times in a row we went and won the double to following season... We ponder what the summer may bring and if we'll be due a success this time next year.
