Is the WSL gone already? 

In this episode of the Arsenal Women’s podcast presented by Stateside Gooners, Matt talks about the week 3 draw against rival Man United. The season has opened with dissappointing results which is such a pattern for the Arsenal women. Arsenal did not bring the intensity to this match and a lot of sterile possession in this match. Does Sleegers have enough time to turn this season around?

Goal 1: Didn't step out

Goal 2: Didn't step out

Goal 3: 6 Box King was nowhere near the ball

What do you think? Should he carry some fault for any of the goals?

I’ve been wanting to remind everyone to check out The Gooner Hub (Apple Store) and download the app. Gary is a friend of the show, let’s make sure we’re giving him our full support.

Playing the daily quiz has been great. You can make it easy, medium, or hard. Easy is usually no more than one miss, at most. Medium shows me that I’m an Arsenal history B student 6 to 8 of 10 most days. But hard is really hard, I think. I’m usually below 60% and often less than 50%.

That’s why you need to try it out. You will learn a lot about our club, Arsenal FC, and have fun doing it. Help out our friend, Gary. Your support helps him continue to share this fun app. (Coming to Android soon.)

Let's give that a moment of thought.

Should we be concerned about the finishing after these two matches?

In this episode of the Arsenal Women’s podcast presented by Stateside Gooners, Matt talks about the week 2 draw against a very blocky Crystal Palace team. He jumps into the stats for this one right away because they really tell the story of this match. Arsenal had all the momentum but just could not score with 4 big chances missed and 2 crossbars hit.

I did not discuss this during the show, but below is a link to an interview with Arsenal midfielder Kyra Cooney-Cross about her relationship with her mom. It is a very touching interview that shows the support and love her mom had for her three daughters. Give it a listen.

English Premier League Match Week 4. PGMOL Shenanigans. Carabao Cup Round 3.

On this episode, Eric, Kevin, and Matt discuss What Ha-Happened Was on the away trip to Sunderland. Would Xhaka get a yellow card? Can Saka ditch his finishing woes and get one over the line? Would Sunderland be a difficult atmosphere? This was a fun match to recap and the guys break down and answer all of these questions and much, much, … much more.

Find out if we have a new points leader in The Reckoning. On The B-Side, we measure our words, or do we(?), regarding comments made by a former PGMOL referee Mike Dean, and the impacts of the revelations he shared on (of all places) Jamie Vardy’s podcast. Finally, It’s On, where we preview the upcoming Soda/League Cup match against Ipswich Town.

Plus you’ll love this week’s One, Two, Three.

• One Big Number: 5

• Two Minute Mashups: Scores around the League

• Three Quick Things: King’s 228th, Will it be a record 10 out of 10?, and a guy who lied twice publicly but will never be punished.

Pro Ref (Professional Game Referees) - What a joke.

In this episode of the Arsenal Women’s podcast presented by Stateside Gooners, Matt talks about the opening day win over a pesky Brighton team. There were 4 new starters for Arsenal in this match and each had a good start to their Arsenal careers. Georgia Stanway looks like she’s been an Arsenal player her whole career.

On this episode, Eric and Matt talk about the first away trip for Arsenal in the Champions League against Napoli. Arsenal were dominant, so many shots, so much xG. You’d think Arsenal scored a lot, but you would be wrong. Big chances missed. But the goal Arsenal scored was, well, it was the kind of goal Matt likes power and pinged off the post.

There is a preview for the away match at Sunderland on Saturday, we get to see our old friend Xhaka.

Make sure to stick around for the three quick things at the end. There’s a bit about Italy that is quite interesting.
