THE NORTH BANK - An Arsenal Podcast

A shock defeat to Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup as Arteta's rotated team fails to find a winner in full time against a resolute opposition currently 18th in League Two. Credit to Fleetwood for executing their game plan, but for us that was a humbling, embarrassing performance. Stef travelled many miles to witness it and give his honest appraisal. Join us for the full review and a look ahead to the Anfield game in the next pod... ____________________________________________ Check out our exclusively designed merchandise including t-shirts, hoodies and the iconic North Bank mug at ⁠⁠northbankpod.myshopify.com⁠⁠ For exclusive access, content and discounts on our range of merchandise, join our North Bank community: ⁠FREE on Patreon!⁠ Join the conversation on our socials: ⁠BlueSky @northbankpod.bsky.social⁠ ⁠Twitter / X @northbankpod⁠ ⁠TikTok @northbankpod⁠ ⁠Instagram @northbankpod⁠ ⁠YouTube @NorthBankPod⁠ and discover more on ⁠our website, thenorthbankfc.com⁠ The North Bank.

After a pretty good weekend that saw us going top with a comfortable win at home to Everton, while Sham City lost at Villa, join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look back on Saturday and ahead to a return to Highbury on Tuesday. We discuss players who impressed against Everton, Konsa, Gabriel, Madueke, as well as a referring performance that bewildered most. We ask who our main rivals are for the title, and which players will be rested for the midweek trip to Fleetwood.

Stef & Holly give their immediate thoughts from a wet and windy Emirates following our 2-0 home win v Everton. The stats will say it was never in doubt and Everton rarely threatened, but being 1-0 up after 7 minutes, we really ought to have put it to bed before half time.

We return from Germany with a deserved point in the bag and look ahead now to welcoming Everton to town on Saturday. Join Holly and Stef as we assess the positives of our draw in the Champions League, with Eze, Odegaard, Rice and Madueke all coming in for praise, as did Gyokeres, a sign of things to come I hope. Attention is then turned to Everton and how we may cope with yet another team who will set up to stifle us, is it time for Eze and Madueke to imprint their personalities on the game, and take us to the next level in the process. We conclude with an attempt to address the following conundrum: would you rather be a City fan or a United fan right now?

Another single goal victory, our 18th in the last two seasons - is this sustainable? Can we keep relying on our defence to keep clean sheets? Who carries our X factor in attack? Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we tackle these questions, and more, as we look ahead to a very tasty trip to Bayern on Wednesday evening. Who do you think will get the nod in our starting 11?

Plenty to get through as Arsenal head to Forest on Sunday afternoon. Join Holly and Stef as we take a look back at the highlights of our comfortable victory over Lille in the Champions League. Three beautiful goals, encouraging signs from some of our squad players and the inevitable chat about the (lack of) contribution of others. There are nerves evident when looking ahead to Sunday's game and we finish off with the very serious task of working out which City player (other than Haaland) we'd like at Arsenal when the fire sale starts.

Well that turned out alright in the end, didn't it? After an 'okay' first half we really upped the ante straight from the kick off in the second, which ultimately led to a very 'easy on the eye' three nil home win against Lille. Beautiful goals were the order of the day, with Timber, Eze and Saka obliging. A performance that will hopefully instil further confidence in the squad as we head into a very tricky couple of matches. Join Holly and Stef as we provide our instant reactions to the game.

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we take a more in depth look back at the Leeds game. Not quite a game of two halves, but a game where the final 30 minutes represented a massive improvement on the previous 60. Bruno G will rightfully receive the plaudits for another banger, but praise too for Odegaard, Rice, Konsa and Madueke. We also comment on the farce that is now going to be every City game, where yet another refereeing decision aided their (hopefully) meaningless march to three points. The sooner we get shot of them, the better. And finally, there's a look ahead to Lille on Tuesday and the return of one Olivier Giroud to the Emirates. Please enjoy, like, share etc. Thank you.

Proper football is back! Join Holly and Chris as we look ahead to the return of club football this weekend. Arsenal host unbeaten Leeds in a long overdue attempt to erase the painful memories of our defeat at Brighton. Plenty of questions about the team selection to pose; who partners big Gabby at the back, who partners Rice in the middle and who gets the nod up front, assuming Havertz is injured?

With the longest international break known to man now in full swing, we take advantage of the absence of actual Arsenal games to have a superb chat with Simeon Farrar, writer and performer of 'The Night London Turned Red'. In his emotional poem he encapsulates what that Tuesday night in May meant to so many people, with a deeply personal reflection on what it also meant to him within the context of a wider family crisis. He shares his thoughts on that night, the days that followed and football in general, and the unifying impact it can have on communities. He also shares his Arsenal memories, favourite players, biggest Arsenal heartbreak, views on VAR and Arteta, and a whole lot more! Please enjoy, like, share etc. COYG!

Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look back at the Brighton game and assess the current state of play at the top of the Premier League.

Seven wins from seven games to start the season. Not bad. The latest saw us cruise past Ipswich 4-2 in the League Cup. Some great performances to whet the appetite, notably from the two youngsters Dowman and Salmon, but also Zubimendi, Madueke and Merino. Less impressive performers also come in for some examination. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look back in more detail at that game, whilst also casting our eyes forward to Brighton away at the weekend. A tricky ground to visit, even more so as Brighton are top scorers this season so far. Will Hurzeler get under our skin again or will we continue our perfect start to the season?

The perfect start to the season continues with a hard fought win away to Sunderland. It wasn't without incident though, and, despite the narrative, we won it despite the referee, not because of him. Join Holly, Stef and Chris as we look back at all the key decisions, laud Raya's penalty save, wonder if we've seen a better first goal for an Arsenal player than Bruno G's and ultimately applaud the effort, resilience, skill and determination of the entire team.
