Emile Smith Rowe To Depart Plus Bukayo Saka & England | Arsecast

In this episode I'm joined by Tim Stillman to discuss the goings-on at Euro 2024, with a fair amount of focus on England, and the Bukayo Saka debate that has been going on this week, before we chat about some lesser-fancied teams who have caught the eye throughout the tournament.
Then we touch on the future of Emile Smith Rowe who has been linked with Fulham and Palace this week, wonder if Arsenal might get involved in the shady-pricing that other clubs have been party to of late, the Declan Rice 'problem', and lots more.

[@dutti137]

Spliff rolled and Arseblog, let's go.

7g of chop 3 hoes and arseblog 😊

@@dutti137 Enjoy!

Ian wright would never suggest dropping Harry Kane but somehow he can get up there and say that Saka needs to be a fullback. The backslash online was deserved and I’m glad Arsenal fans don’t let things slide, regardless of the messenger.

[@arjitjere1559]

Was just a too much of a fringe tactical suggestions

[@theach84]

Damn right. That suggestion was just too crazy and half the fanbase will always defend ian wright. It’s especially sensitive bc saka in always getting dumped on by every media outlet and by every fanbase. Understandable that Arsenal fans lash out if Saka is the subject.

[@steamboatWilliam8]

The Arsenal news at the beginning. Riveting discussion… well said

[@Dildaphone]

England's good moments so far, and there have been as many as three of them, have all had Saka involved.

[@nischitranganath5960]

Love the pod. Much appreciated timing for sure!

[@vinnieFTW]

The 10% brain thing is a complete myth, Tim! We use 100% of our brains. Great pod as always though gents!

[@Arseblog]

Saka uses 112% 😆

[@vinnieFTW]

@@Arseblog No arguing with that. That's just science.

[@adventurerwannabe]

The fact arteta rates Viera over ESR boggles the mind

[@nischitranganath5960]

If ESR leaves, does he take his saka and smith rowe song with him?

[@V4n1lla_Rice]

Hopefully 😂

[@adventurerwannabe]

Walker can most def still get forward. He is still an elite athlete. If he isnt getting forward is because of Southgates instructions

[@Goon10110]

*Turns up volume. Bah !

[@housinauthority5258]

I'm just surprised that seemingly intelligent grown men sit on social media reading tweets about football along with all of the other 14 year olds 😮

[@Arseblog]

A simplistic view: I have to use Twitter for work - otherwise I'd never go near the place - and you see stuff get RTd into your timeline. I don't seek it out and I don't sit there reading the views of 14 year olds!

[@adventurerwannabe]

Midling nations have not been the most boring. That would be England and France

[@arjitjere1559]

Re england. Foden is much more vulnerable to getting dropped than saka. Foden at lw is square peg in round hole and he isnt performing. Atleast saka has done ok on rw

[@SueMyChin]

I love Saka as much as anyone but he's not always perfect. To suggest that he's injured because he hasn't played his best is mad to me. There are plenty of LW options for England so he wouldn't be played if he wasn't fit enough to play well.

[@Arseblog]

I didn't suggest he was injured because he didn't play his best, I said he was injured because he picked up an injury at the end of the season, and barely trained before England's first game.

[@SueMyChin]

@@Arseblog He played against Iceland in a friendly 3 weeks ago? Surely he's fit after 3 weeks of training and about 200 minutes of football

[@Reesa89]

@@SueMyChinSouthgate himself mentioned he’s not fully fit to play a 90 after that game so it’s not far fetched to assume his minutes are still being managed. Saka has been one of their best players in the last few games so there’s no need to excuse him.

[@SueMyChin]

@@Reesa89 He was just saying he wasn't match fit because he hadn't played 90min for over a month. He's not saying he's injured.

[@scottsalmon6587]

I've been giving Tim Stillman the benefit of the doubt for a while, as he seems like a nice chap, but the crap on this podcast confirms my suspicion that he really doesn't have much of a clue - especially when it comes to football beyond Arsenal women.

[@raffidesai3024]

sorry Andrew but Phoebe much closer to Southgate ❤smelly cat

[@Arseblog]

I'm not a Friends expert, sorry!

[@kunimitsune177]

I'm sorry how were the back pages "not acceptable"? One of the players who gets the most clicks and made the most suitable posed was most used in the papers? So what

[@Reesa89]

You’re not the brightest bulb are you lol. It’s better to stay quiet then to expose your limited worldview, it’s embarrassing.

[@steveedmunds4949]

Take your tongue out of Saka's arse, its embarrassing. He hasn't played particularly brilliantly all season, goals aside, his performances have been 6-7s

[@Reesa89]

He’s got 34 g/a lol I’d say he had a good season.
