Footballistically Arsenal

Boyd, Josh & Alan gathered straight after Arsenal went four points clear at the top of table, in a scarcely believable weekend as both Liverpool and Manchester City lost to make Arsenal significantly odds on favourites for the title. We reflect on another defensive masterclass, Eze’s first premier league goal, Alan refusing to clap Nketiah, another Adidas retro shirt masterclass and look ahead to Brighton’s visit in the Carabao Cup. Thanks as always for listening and see you next week. ⁠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.

Josh is away so Boyd and Sidekick Alan are joined by pod regular Rick Lawrence to discuss the textbook away victory over Fulham, whether it was TOO textbook, run the rule over how our newbies are doing, debate Arteta’s approach to games and the controversial Saka penalty decision which we eventually get to in the end… plus Predictions of course. ⁠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 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.

We're back! Boyd, Josh and Alan are back to preview the 25/26 season. Will this finally be the year the Gunners progress from 3 successive 2 places to finally be crowned champions? We look back at a busy summer transfer window and a pre-season which saw mixed results. 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.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Trevor Harris to look back at the Champions’s League semi-final exit at the hands of PSG and a hard fought point at Anfield as Arsenal crawl towards to Champion’s League qualification for next season. We ponder Arteta’s conviction of Arsenal’s European campaign and frustration at the first quarter of the match at Anfield, as we wonder if the emotion of a long and difficult season has got the better of him. We look ahead to the remainder of the season and start to think about the summer.

Boyd & Josh were joined by Alan Alger, to look ahead to Arsenal’s biggest game in over 15 years as we travel to Paris for a place in the Champions League final. We look back briefly on a disappointing first leg and a far from ideal preparation with defeat to Bournemouth … but safe to say all will be forgotten if Wednesday night goes the right way. Can we yet a dream of a Munich success in four weeks time? ⁠⁠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 could not let such a significant result pass by without a special podcast as the Gunners advance to the UEFA Champions’s League semi-finals after a 2-1 success at Madrid. Josh relives his day out in Spain in what will be a night all Arsenal fans around the world will remember forever. Is European glory on the way? Will Declan Rice pick up more man of the match awards on the way to Munich? All will it go from mazel tov in Madrid to the biggest of all mazel tovs in Munich in six weeks time?

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Dean (AFCamden) to reflect on another disappointing draw as Arsenal failed to put any pressure on Liverpool as the inevitable Premier League title for Merseyside draws ever nearer. We turn our attention to arguably the biggest game in 15 years for the club as the Gunners travel to Madrid with a 3-0 first leg lead. Thanks as always for listening and we’ll be back, hopefully as Champions’s League semi-finalists! 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 couldn’t resist getting together for a celebratory podcast after the most extraordinary evening at the Emirates Stadium as the Gunners outplayed the European Champions winning 3-0. We relive the shock and joy of an incredible night we could scarcely believe that leaves us dreaming of Champion’s League success. We ponder the odds of Rice striking twice from free-kicks, reflect on perhaps the greatest atmosphere the Emirates Stadium has seen, and dare to dream of success in Munich.

Boyd and Josh were joined by friend of the podcast Alan Alger to reflect on a draw on Merseyside as Arsenal’s title challenge was all but formally extinguished at Goodison Park, due to an extremely debatable penalty given against Lewis-Skelly. Our attention turns to a huge match against Real Madrid in the Champion’s League as we ponder the possibility of one of the biggest and best atmospheres at the Emirates Stadium, and our hopes and chances of reaching the semi final.

Boyd and Josh were joined by good friend of the podcast Tim Payton to reflect on a narrow but important victory against Chelsea as Arsenal look to cement their 2nd spot. Tim gives us the latest on increased ticket pricing and club strategy on all things attendance. We ponder what’s in store against Real Madrid and if Saka’s return gives us sufficient relief we can yet go further.
