Your favourite moments of The Fourever Arsenal Podcast 23/24 👇🏼

[@noname-fv3kn]

Best moment was when Jordan was cussing Jess and then they brought her into the call

[@virupakshawalla5734]

It was a clear hand ball. But a very important decision for us. Would have felt deflating not to win. Watch City squad on that podium and we are still well off it. We sort of wilted in big games (Rice btw especially guilty for all the he is diff maker) But overall we over performed in league. We need 6 or 7 in and out squad and that isn't realistic esp as unlike City we won't get a lot of money in.

[@DnbDBradley]

Jordan’s rant about how he likes to fuck has to be up there!

[@virupakshawalla5734]

How about Kudus and Guamaries (both linked) before they come to PL. Sure players like that out there. Stats, how many shots from outside box did we score vs City this calendar year. City scored 2 bangers yesterday . The new left back got a few. We still need that ball striking coach

[@reign9595]

Definitely when Jordan started “Wanking around” 😂

[@sebastianlukasek]

Transfers don't work like that. You look for the qualities the squad lacks and address those shortcomings surgically. Doku wasn’t signed because he might contribute 20 GA per season. He was signed for the isolated 1v1s. We need more transitional threat, central carriers, midfielder who can control the tempo, another outlet upfront.

[@DarthQueefious]

Yep, look at the Ake signing. No rival fan was jealous of that signing, but he had something - leftfooteed versatility and excellent 1v1 defending, that City lacked. Over the last 2 years, he has probably been City's best defender. It is coaching and knowing what you need, not buying the biggest name or best player. Only Haaland has been that for City under Pep.

[@PaulSebastiani_SEN_BA]

Fantastic point. Great call. Central carriers and transitional threat is what we need more. Technically we are brilliant at finding our way out of the back half, but it’s the incisiveness and lack of speed on the way out when opposition defence isn’t set which we lack.

[@singalexsong]

We need a proper dynamic CM. Not a CDM playing CM or a CAM playing CM, but a specialist CM. Out of all of our midfield options Odegaard is the only player who has any real impact on attack and has special moments. Yet Odegaard is a bit like Ozil in terms of he passes where he can shoot. We need a CM who likes to shoot and does it well. City have Foden, KDB, Rodri who can all ping one in from 25 yards……..Also Rice doesn’t have the skill or attacking knowledge to be elite as an 8.

[@v2-kaj]

spot on.. i think we need an 8, another winger to compete with Saka, a creative/goalscoring 10. Im not obsessed with striker thing.

[@BH-250]

​@@singalexsong 🎯 but we also need fullback cover, Tomi, Timber and White can all cover Centerback but we need another fullback to replace Zinchenko

[@Rafa-cc2py]

I found it ridiculous to even think of selling Trossard. He is still super underrated. Just to remind you: Since he arrived at Arsenal, Leandro Trossard averages 0.85 non-penalty goals and assists per 90 minutes in the Premier League. Only five players (De Bruyne, Jota, Haaland, Wilson and Salah) average more in that period.

[@matthewpoh5155]

agreed, Trossard don't need to start every game, selling him is a step back.

[@sofiyums]

Jordan is right about Martinelli. I like Martinelli but I'm looking at LW as one of the only positions where we can 100% upgrade.

[@jskyes8291]

Trossard/martinelli as backup?

[@jskyes8291]

We need a RW someone who can test Saka and whenebe he’s not fit or when we have build ups of games

[@JackBehjet]

Surley man like Reiss Nelson has to go before man like Martinelli and a person to challenge Saka and allow him to rest from time to time is priority

[@pacman2531]

@@JackBehjet you have to have 8 homegrown players out of 25 in PL.

[@jivet3919]

Martinelli was dealing with injury and needs some stability on the left. He will bounce back

[@tastyf1974]

Its amazing to me at nearly 50 years old fan, younger fans don't value the league cup or FA cup, they only see the league and CL as major trophies, even europa league is looked down on. Fans seems so entitled these days.

[@columodonnell9212]

Right, for me every win is an achievement, we are blessed to be at the top of the prem.

[@DonR-zb2cm]

Turkish is deluded and watered down

[@ryanwilson368]

Sorry but the prem and champions league are wayyyy better than the other cups

[@Hamassholes]

​@@ryanwilson368Better? Explain yourself. The FA Cup is the oldest club competition on the world, you just proves his point. Disgraceful

[@tastyf1974]

@ryanwilson368 try telling fans of other teams such as spurs, newcastle, my local team Rochdale, or brighton, villa, everton etc that only the pl and cl matter. Jeez, a fan should be thankful and pleased to win any trophy, they all count to the clubs history and some teams have not won a single trophy or a trophy for 50+ years. Give your head a wobble

[@obez42]

Mbeumo is a superb call by Jordan I’ve been a fan for a long time…

[@zzgrom]

Very solid player. Also Wissa.

[@oliblakepw]

We scored a load of goals, but most of them came in 3/4 matches. We need someone, who in games we are struggling to score, can pop up with a moment and bury it to relieve pressure for us to defend

[@Gunner_Rahul]

1. star cdm 2. star forward 3. young wide player with potential 4. young cb with potential

[@ahmetdalga9538]

a back up gk

[@kevomanoli]

Rice is your CDM, get someone else to play the 8 role. Rice is terrible at shooting and doesn’t have an eye for a breakthrough pass. However, he is perfect for the 6 role

[@RyanSprkl]

Best pod of the season so far. I expected the vibe to be a little more down and defeated after narrowly missing the title but I’m glad to see I was wrong. The high energy was still there and genuinely one of the funniest pods of the season and the perfect listen to pick my mood back up. Arsenal are on the cusp of greatness and next season we’ll have the last laugh. COYG

[@KarltonFranz]

This was the first season Arsenal was expected to be a title contender. Don’t forget the season before people were hoping for top 4 from us. Now we’ll improve and win some trophies

[@KarltonFranz]

@RobertKnight-ye6wc just as we were going to the past 2 seasons

[@KarltonFranz]

@RobertKnight-ye6wc you just said that nobody knows what will happen and then proceed to claim you know exactly what will happen LMAO. We’ve only improved every year under Arteta, I’m following trends and data

[@daadh1]

Kudus was the potential Salah deal we f'd up last season. 35mill and could be trained to be lethal

[@taylor4848]

I think signings like Guimaraes, Kudus, Mbeumo etc. would elevate our squad more than you’re giving credit for. Arsenal and Palace had the least rotated squads in the league, City and Brighton had the most rotated squads. I think our lack our rotation can sometimes make our players less impactful simply down to how fresh they are, so those type of signings who may not improve the starting 11 can really benefit us over a season

[@Ronaldothegoat0728]

Gyokeres has 60 goals + assists for sporting lisbon. He’s a tall striker who can assist and dribble. I know it’s the Portuguese league but he’s a monster. Arsenal should go for him.

[@yawoduroamoah8038]

​@@Ronaldothegoat0728 I think we should go for him too. He's great

You are absolutely right. What many people don't understand is that assembling a squad takes time. You can't Amazon Prime yourself a squad. We're on the right way and I am looking forward to see what we do in summer.

[@Laska_00]

one of jordans best podcasts, pretty much agreed with everything he said

[@philanthropist5560]

Martinelli for 60 mill?

[@goals27]

One of the worst podcast of Jordan for me, literally trying to curb the hate I am feeling for him after listening to this episode. Making excuses for failures for the club instead of demanding more and putting pressure. No wonder you like him in this episode but before you didn't because he used to demand more... Raise your standards

[@allisterklein9723]

Wow, one of the best conversations from the podcast. Really got me thinking

[@IbbyB.]

I'd argue we need a LW too. We can't just hope Martinelli comes back to form. We need one to challenge him while trossard is option across the line.

[@robhans5]

So we need elite CM, back up cdm, Lw, back up RW, elite striker, left back and back up CB. Have 600 mln to spent? Elite strike will get most of our budget, lol.

[@singalexsong]

Trossard should be a squad player. He can be too loose in possession, not good at shielding the ball, not particularly great in the build up, not quick. All I’d say is Pep wouldn’t have him at City because he turns over the ball too much

[@dami869]

Trossard is not an option an across the line. He can't play on the right. Jesus is the only option across the front 3

[@mrprince6467]

​@@dami869A false nine option, or an impact sub. We need a good winger this summer.

[@eviltechnology]

on the left you have Martinelli, Trossard and Jesus can cover. you can't have 5 players for one spot. Saka needs a dedicated cover.

[@tactics2k]

I think a highlight for me this season on the pod was the introduction of the intro! It always gets me that Jordan goes the wrong way to the stadium from the station, especially as there's even a sign inside the station that says go right to get to The Emirates 😂

[@jamesbrooks788]

Thank you lads been a pleasure this year, so so close, we go again next year and I feel it coming ❤❤

[@mika.paz95]

Lee - it was great meeting you briefly after the final game! Wish we could've talked more but I'm glad I got to tell you I'm a big fan of the pod 😊 Also walked past James afterwards but he looked busy lol 😂 maybe next time I'll meet the rest of the fourever gang too! Anyway, thank you all for a great season. Much love from the US ❤️

[@lewishogan3719]

Comment of the day!

[@Mash420]

I really like the idea that Jordan proposed about letting the fans join in with the league! Whether it is a separate fan table or mixed in with the 4 of you please make it happen! Love for the love

[@JayB948]

We need to look at serious footballers. Pedri, de Jong, Wirtz, xavi simons, balde, gumaires, sane, Isak, kvart. People like that. No messing around

[@Hozza96]

One thing I would love this summer is if we could get a podcast everytime we sign a player that is just focused on the player we sign. So all four individually takes time to read and watch the player we’ve signed and then make a podcast just discussing the player and his quality’s and where he can fit into our squad. Doesent have to be super long, maybe just 30 minutes or so but that would be one thing I would love. Maybe we can get more Kaka comments from Jordan😅

[@coolerdude42]

i like the idea, but man are these guys not the right people to make that kinda content except James. I rather James and Graham do it. Lee, Turkish, and Jordan have terrible takes on players and tactics. They rely too much on the eye test. They do not possess enough technical and tactical knowledge as a group to dedicate an entire podcast to the prospect of each signing. Imagine if they did this podcast at the beginning of the season for Havertz. Jordan expressing his bewilderment on Havertz position, Turkish moaning on the transfer fee, all of them slagging Arteta for buying a Chelsea "reject", etc. Actually a better idea would be James and a guest from the community that is better at this kind of player analysis. James already collaborates with people from outside this channel all the time.

[@briyan36]

YES Jordan, im with you on this one id love to see Martinelli up top. He has all the trickery, the turn of pace and on his day, a locker full of brilliant finishes

[@calumreid2695]

Might be the best pod this season and it’s the final one! Never laughed so much at a podcast in my life😂 The looks I was getting while walking down the street😂

[@vpateldpt]

James, it’s not necessarily needing to have players better than city’s. It’s to get squad depth to reduce fatigue towards end of year, and be able to compete for 4 trophies, likelier to win one of them.

[@dipanjanjha6208]

Need to take seriously cup football also...FA Cup.. carabao cup

[@gunnerjah]

so true, we bow out of those cups far too easily as of lately

[@m_squared5775]

Eze(box to box), Olise (RW competition for Saka), Kudus (LW upgrade on Martinelli), Ivan Toney (ST upgrade on Havertz). No foreign signings that need 6 months to a year to acclimatize to the league.

[@matthewpoh5155]

Loving the characters we have in team now, look how painful our players were at the end of the game. Arteta is the man you trust to rally the team from this pain and become stronger next season. I recall when Klopp with liverpool lost the champions league final to Real Madrid, a lot of their players were in tears and totally upset. The next day a video show him telling his players we going to win it next season, and they did.

[@thegreatiam6849]

Light in the darkness is Turkish's revelation that this is the first season in the Emirates era that we expected to win the Premier League; that's progress. Let's pray that this summer the momentum continues .

[@stevencarr3091]

We desperately need Saliba cover. We were very fortunate that he was able to be fit the whole season. Ousmane Diomande would be a City type deal. Expensive but worth it. Reminds me if Gvardiol type move.

I think you guys are overlooking what IMO make ARS and MC the top 2 teams in the league, namely DeBruyne and Odegaard. DeBruyne was out for months and City continued without him. But when he returned they were unbeatable in the league. Now, imagine if we were without Odegaard for a few months. I think we’d struggle. I think we could work around losing any other player (maybe not Saliba). Just my 2 cents.

[@sergeibotoroev6876]

This was a ridiculous season. All attack have been underperfroming thoughout. Main striker Jesus a relative failure. Marti even worse, Nketia was "don't even start this conversation". Saka was ok but not the one when you could say, he carried the attack the whole time. Ode and Tross (substitute for most of the season) were good contributors and Kai joined them just in less than half season. And we really challenged City all the way with this attack. I remember the time when we had Henry, Bergkamp, Wiltord, Kanu, Pires and Ljunberg in attack. Its when we won the title. Liverpool had great trio in Salah, Firmino and Mane when they pipped City to the title. Current Arsenal attacking players are not close to those heights.

I agree with Jordan on the expectations to win the title next season but totally disagree with the handball comment.

[@bobcarter5548]

Because of the results nobody has mentioned the major fail with the Everton goal. When Partey fouls, the incident is 12 yards further back than where they marked the ball and took the shot. There is no way they shoot from the original foul position. It is way to far forward. Ref had a shocker on that one. Good job we did not lose because of it and maybe why he allowed the second goal handball issue to stand.

[@ovuegrey-areben9234]

To close the gap for next season. We start by winning all our home games or at least we don't lose any home games. We lost home games the last 2 seasons. Secondly I would like us to be more streetwise, meaning if we meet a team that setups a low block we struggle and sometimes lose the odd game. We need to position ourselves not to lose such games. If we replicate the same number of away wins as last season, we stand a very strong chance of winning the league. The good thing now is that we're fine tunning the squad.

[@DamirKasun13]

People don't understand how good Pep and City are, probably the most dominant team ever, no team has ever had this kind of game control. You can beat them in cup competition but you also need a lot of luck (like Madrid) and trust me, in the last 4 years no team in the world would come close to beat City in the Prem, not even Madrid, Barca or Bayern. They are unbeaten since december in the league and we all say they didn't even look that good... All in all, we have to be really proud of Mikel and this Arsenal team, most of our guys are not even in their prime, our best form is still to come and trust me, in the next 5-6 years only Arsenal can challenge City for the league... So, let's just enjoy our football, keep supporting this team and we will win big trophies for sure!! COYG

He is early in his managerial development, compared to the aforementioned, and can, and I suspect will grow into becoming a great manager for Arsenal football club.

@@thegreatiam6849 you just waffled the same bs from the original comment.

You basically support Mikel and Arsenal are just some little project that you are happy to watch in the meantime. So my standard (even as a rival fan) for Arsenal is higher than you, an actual Arsenal fan. You are more interested in Mikel's trajectory than your own club. That's sad.

I think with David Raya, maybe Arteta is regarding shot stopping as the least important part of a goalkeepers job... if he's having to make a match saving shot, then we've already failed to defend. Raya is comfortable sweeping high up the pitch, calmly plucks crosses out of the air and distributes very well. Maybe he won't make a match saving stop, but in our system, he doesn't have to and that's where he's an improvement on Ramsdale.

Lovely left foot on him? Bruno Guimares is right footed.. Jordan yet again showing his lack of football knowledge :D

[@mikeebryant6296]

I like the guy but he really doesn't belong on a pod. 'Let's sell a 22 YO Martinelli for £60m because he had an injury hampered season.' Even Transfermarkt has him rated at £80M still. Man chats breeze. I wonder how much of it is rhetoric for balance though.

[@fa155al]

I don’t think we need a striker. Personally havertz numbers in the run is outrageous. This idea we buy a CF who bags against Porto Bayern city away etc is guaranteed. I think we’re better off buying an ELITE no8 like FDJ or an elite wide player like a LEAO. Havertz to me in the most crucial period has shown he can score and his all round play is top. Get the other cogs like the LB no8 and a winger to compete w Gabi and Saka.

this season we still depend on some luck with injuries. There was some luck with Saliba and Gabriel, but you could see White needed some rest, in the winter and yesterday (unlucky with Timber full season and everyone else for some time). Few good signings this summer could cover most short term injury problems for the next season.

Nope. There's no handshake. There's a very small minority like you who for some reason are keen to hold hands with Arsenal fans (you clearly have no pride). But the majority of us remember them calling us bottlers just a few weeks ago. We won a Champions League and a Cup double either side of a Premier league title in the seasons we fell short by a point. So why you feel the need to compare yet another trophyless season from Arsenal to our seasons I don't know. Its like you want to cheapen what we achived for a few likes from Arsenal fans. Its embarrassing.

NEED a left sided CM. NEED competition/backup for Saka ideally can play both wings. And a CB and striker would be my next choices

[@Crypteass]

Besides the obvious positions we've been talking about all season. I really think we need a Goal Keeper who can make the difference. Raya had a very ok season, sure he won the golden glove but we had the best defense in the league. Ramsdale would've won it if he played in net for us this season. I don't know if there is anyone out there better than Raya but if there is, I hope we have a real look at him.

[@3bladeninja21]

What a great mentality

[@ArthurPenel-Dacheux]

Except Partey was injured for 6 months, which prevented us from having our go to midfield alongside Odegaard and Rice, which by the way is undefeated. Oh and we had our superexciting versatile RB/LB who got ACL in his first game + Tomi, basically weakening our left side a lot, which was at fault in every single game we lost this year. We got few injuries for sure, or not as many as previous years, but they still impacted us big time.
