Arsing Around - An Arsenal Podcast

The Aston Villa match from the weekend proved to be too dull to talk about for too long, and so this weeks podcast is a varied look at Llorente, Huntelaar, Henry, Ljungberg, Chamakh, Adebayor and more. Featuring Tom Acres, Shannon Nixon, Ben Cole and Michael Keshani.

We beat the scum 5-2. Again. Featuring Tom Acres, Shannon Nixon, Emmet McEvoy and Alix Tucker.

The ridiculous result against Fulham and the general state of the club presents plenty of hard hitting views and conversation. Featuring Tom Acres, Shannon Nixon, Ben Cole and Alix Tucker.

The limp defeat at Old Trafford provokes a thorough inspection of the squad and the club's transfer policy in an episode thoroughly filled to the brim with depression. Featuring Tom Acres, Ben Cole, Tom Clarke and Michael Keshani.

The debacles that were Norwich, Schalke and the AGM are all discussed as Tom, Shannon, Emmet McEvoy and Ben Stevens rant enough to come to the realisation that it seems as though Arsenal aren't actually trying to win anything.

Arse2Mouse's Tim Clark, Michael Keshani (RoamingLibero) and Ben Cole are the guests on hand to discuss Arsenal's emphatic 6-1 win over Southampton at the Emirates. The team is analysed back to front, with some harsh words on Wojciech Szczesny, before we look ahead to our Champions League opener against Montpellier.

Tom Clarke, Will Sparks and debutant Alix Tucker fill the void left by Shannon to discuss the win at Anfield, look ahead to Southampton and evaluate the top performers of Arsenal's season so far.

A quiet final week of the transfer window dominates today's discussions, but there's also room to touch upon Arsenal's 0-0 draw at Stoke and the upcoming trip to Anfield.

An absolutely jam-packed show this week as Elliot Smith from Yankee Gunner Blog and Will Sparks join us to discuss Santi Cazorla, Robin van Persie, the state of the squad and our hopes for the new season. Emre Sarigul from Turkish-Football.com lends some expert insight into transfer target Nuri Sahin, and Christian from GermanGunners runs the rule over Sahin's time at Dortmund and the German revolution at Arsenal.

French football expert Tom Williams (tomwfootball) lends us his view on Arsenal's latest signing Olivier Giroud, as well as his thoughts on trialist M'Baye Niang. David Schiavone (SerieAFFC) from ForzaItalianFootball.com is then on hand to provide us with the latest gossip from Italy regarding Robin van Persie and Marouane Chamakh, as well as speculating as to whether or not Arsenal could try their hand at 3-5-2 next season.

"YOU WERE MEANT TO DESTROY THE SHEIKHS NOT JOIN THEM! BRING FAIR PLAY TO FINANCE, NOT LEAVE IT IN DARKNESS! YOU WERE OUR CAPTAIN, ROBIN.......I loved you...." Now he's just a prick, and Ben Cole, Tom Clarke and Jack Fielder join us to rant until we run out of things to say and make Chamakh jokes.

With Euro 2012 on the horizon, fittingly, it's a truly European contingent of guests on the show this week to nominate, debate and decide upon our End Of Season Awards winners for the 2011/12 season. Anna Lvova (MadRuskiGooner), Dave Fitzpatrick (evadztif) and Will Sparks (LittleWillAFC) join Tom and Shannon to work through a host of categories including Best Goal, Best Save, Best Match and plenty more!

Elliot Smith from Yankee Gunner Blog, Scott Davis and Ben Cole join us to look back on Arsenal's 2011/12 campaign. We assess the team's performance in all 4 competitions, reminisce on the highs and lows, grade the players and look ahead to what promises to be an interesting summer. And yes, Scott was very happy to finish third.

Christian from GermanGunners returns to the show with some top drawer info on Arsenal's pursuit of Shinji Kagawa. Also on hand are Teddy Eastoe and Will Sparks to discuss West Brom and the end of the season, start getting serious over the Van Persie situation, and give our esteemed thoughts on the collection of scumbags assembled for England's Euro 2012 squad.

Tom, Shannon and Rob are together for a more low-key affair as we dissect the Norwich game and look forward to West Brom. Also on the agenda is Yann M'Vila, Wojciech Szczesny, Thomas Vermaelen, the new home strip for next season and train journeys. Now with improved audio quality!
