The Absolute Arsenal Podcast

P.J., Rob and Christian are back to preview the Man City match at the weekend, while doing our best to show the smallest level of interest in the international break (spoiler: we failed). Listen along as we talk through keys to the match, who needs to step up, whose name we'll get tattooed on us if we win, predicted lineups and scorelines. COYG!

P.J. and Christian are back and joined by Victor Jeronimo, who rejoins the show after coming onto our special edition Liverpool podcast. On this episode we debuted our "Declare & Defend" series, which is a chance for us to read out "statements" and say we either strongly agree, agree, disagree or strongly disagree and defend our stance. Topics covered involve Theo Walcott, Fabio Vieira, Emile Smith Rowe, Robin van Persie and more. COYG!

The gang is back together to discuss Arsenal's penalty shootout victory over FC Porto to take the club into the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time in 14 years. P.J., Rob and Christian talk through the match, answer questions sent in by our followers on Instagram and give our player ratings while looking ahead to the CL draw on Friday. COYG!

P.J. is back with returning guest Michael Chavez to discuss the 2-1 victory over Brentford, the Liverpool-City match and the title race implications of the weekend before looking ahead to Tuesday's Champions League return leg against Porto. 

On today's edition of the Absolute Arsenal podcast I'm joined by Victor Jeronimo, a former professional football scout and massive Liverpool supporter. Victor and I talk about his take on the season, the state of both of our clubs and what the expectations are for the run in. COYG!

P.J. and Christian are joined by guest Michael Chavez to discuss the 6-0 thrashing of Sheffield United. It's hard to find many negatives in a game as lopsided as this one, but we try to look at the game on a grander scale and what elements of it mean for the run in. We also talk about the approach to Brentford and Porto, followed by a long break ahead of City. What kind of striker do Arsenal need in the summer? We discuss that too. COYG!

Arsenal returned to the Emirates with a dominant 4-1 victory to avenge their controversial loss earlier in the season to Newcastle. Goals from Gabriel (technically an OG), Havertz, Saka and Kiwior did the damage as we comfortably took all 3 points. It could have been even more and if the clean sheet was ruined we're glad it was Joe Willock to do so. P.J. and Rob gang up on Christian and his opinion that we should start an academy player at LB over Kiwior, it gets dicey at times. COYG!

P.J. and Rob are back to unfortunately reflect on the 0-1 loss away at FC Porto. We discuss the lineups, the match itself and ultimately the team's inability to adapt and adjust to the opposition, refereeing and overall conditions of the match. We're lucky that we get to reflect on way more wins than losses, but regardless we're here to dive into it. COYG.

On today's episode P.J. and Rob discuss the 5-0 thrashing of Burnley at Turf Moor. Kai Havertz's performance is a point of focus, as is the increased comfort level of Jakub Kiwior. Lastly, we look ahead to the Champion's League knockout first leg against Porto and how fitness and the weekend match against Newcastle will impact those decisions. COYG!

Arsenal left the London Stadium with a massive victory thanks to a 6-0 hammering of the Hammers. Declan Rice finally got one over on his former side, while Saka avenged his penalty miss from last season. Arteta was limited by injuries, but managed to put out the perfect team on the day. So much so that we got appearances from 16 year old Ethan Nwaneri and Cedric! Saka smelled blood and went for the kill. Odegaard was pure magic. Is Trossard the answer at the 9? P.J., Rob and Christian are here to discuss it all, player ratings and look to next weekend against Burnley. COYG!
