Arsenal Tottenham Fan Podcast

Thank you for your listening patience! Life got in the way of our weekly podcasting routine, but now we're back and focused on the week(s) that was. Really, could Spurs' fans be any happier? Do they even know if Harry Kane has scored a goal(s) for Bayern? Do they care? Things are quite going as smoothly for Arsenal fans as they recently drew with Chelsea--which didn't look too bad--until Brentford took all the spoils on Saturday.
Our podcast starts with Cal discussing the main talking point(s) from the Chelsea fixture. Tune in to hear a unique take on the Saliba penalty and how it could be officiated differently in the future. From there, Cal discusses what it's like for Arsenal to have mid-week Champions League fixtures--something Spurs fans may reminisce about from time to time. We go a little more in depth on Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Sevilla and discuss how Arteta set up the team, how Arsenal approached the game tactically, Gabriel Jesus, and what the result meant for Arsenal's group stage ambitions.
Rick is all too happy to take the mic and relive a glorious week for Tottenham. They won two matches, on the road, played three days apart. He touches on the win at Craven Cottage, a reborn Son, and an unsatisfied manager before delving into the victory at Selhurst Park. Near and dear to Rick's heart, or at least his place of birth, Rick admires the way Spurs approached the second half and controlled the game. He was significantly less impressed with the referee and the handball (non)call that allowed Fulham back into the game.
The podcast ends with Cal touching on Arsenal's 5-0 win over Nations League, er, Championship side, er Premier League club??? really . . . Sheffield United. Most of the discussion is a season to date player review/analysis for some team members that have been dominating discussion in the Arsenal media lately. They are, in order: Eddie Nkietah, Gabriel Jesus, David Raya, Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, and Kia Havertz.
Thank you for listening!

What a week for The Arsenal and what a game for Spurs! First, Arsenal see through Lens to the tune of 6 - 0, then scare Wolves before subduing them 2-1. Up north, Spurs ran, passed, and laughed their way to an exciting 3-3 draw with now third place Man City and their profligate center forward turned Eeyore of the Eastlands.
Arteta said Arsenal just needed to score early and they did in both games this week. Cal is all too happy to relive all eight goals and how the first in each game opened the floodgates. But that's not all: there are discussions of Arsenal's domination of their Champion's League Group, the upcoming match vs PSV, and what the hell is a "dead rubber?" Cal and Rick move on to review the match against Wolves and Arsenal's ever improving attack, Zinchenko--the good and the bad, the 5 straight wins after Newcastle and the impact of Arteta's comments, and how the improving left eight is driving Arsenal's improving form.
Postecoglou said, "let's have a go, mate." And boy did they. Rick is part proud, part excited, and mostly amazed at the way Tottenham are playing. Not just the results, but the daring, the flair, and the courage. Once again, Spurs goes to Manchester, faces the defending Premier League Champion, and returns to North London with something to show for their efforts. Hear Rick share his thoughts on a team without their best players and a manager without fear.
Thank you for listening!

Not a lot to be happy about on the Arsenal Tottenham Fan Podcast. Rick talks about Tottenham throwing away a game to Bournemouth then tries to talk himself into Spurs finishing Fourth. Cal ain't havin' it. That's followed by Cal discussing Arsenal coughing up another two goal lead--this time at the London Stadium to West Ham. Yes, the object in the rear view mirror is larger than it seems. And to Cal it seems pretty damn large! We end the podcast by previewing Southhampton's visit to The Emirates and Tottenham's lovely excursion up to Tyneside (don't forget to pack a lunch now boys!). Thank you for listening!
