  • Emery Territory
    Dec 6 2023
    Unai Emery was the man chosen to replace Arsene Wenger in the Arsenal dugout. The Spaniard had made a name for himself in his homeland, winning silverware and impressing with his methodical approach. He did, however, fail at Paris Saint-Germain and would last just 18 months at the Emirates Stadium. Here, Max Jones speaks to journalists based in Spain, France and England to discuss Emery's humble beginnings, Europa League successes and how he has rebuilt his career after a tumultuous spell in north London. We hear from: :: Sid Lowe :: Tom Williams :: James Olley :: Mark Mann-Bryans :: Charlotte Duncker

  • Making a Point - Arsenal's WSL Season Review
    May 9 2022

    We’ve had black cat superstitions and asking his players to think like squirrels, but despite the best efforts of Jonas Eidevall, Arsenal Women ended the season without a trophy.

    To take a look back at the campaign, Molly is joined by The Athletic’s Art de Roche, Suzy Wrack from the Guardian and, making her Arsenal Beat debut, Kathryn Batte from the Daily Mail.

    The panel discuss Eidevall's impact in his first season, how he has interacted with the media and battled with Emma Hayes, how Arsenal can close that small gap next season, training with Academy players to be better in Europe, the future of Vivianne Miedema and Arsenal's Lionesses.

    Ahead of the visit of Manchester United a number of Arsenal journalists select their best memories from a fixture which used to dominate the English football calendar.

    • We return to Manchester four years later as the Mirror's chief football writer John Cross talks us through Sylvain Wiltord's title-winning goal.
    • Patrick Vieira and Roy Keane battled one another on the pitch for years but it was a clash in the Highbury tunnel back in 2005 which Times chief football writer Henry Winter recalls with fondness.
    • Nick Callow of Hayters Teamwork talks all things FA Cup final 2005 with a little bit of 1979 thrown in for good measure.
    • Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez may have both seen their star wane in recent times but in 2015 they tore Manchester United apart at the Emirates Stadium and senior football writer for ESPN James Olley was in attendance.
