Arsenal Tottenham Fan Podcast

Arsenal fans have had a week to revel in their dramatic Champions League win against a stout Porto side, while down Seven Sisters Road, Tottenham fans are wondering what happened to their team during that same week.  Cal and Rick are here to join in and discuss both teams and what the future's look like for each.

2:45  But, first, Rick tries, unsuccessfully to teach Cal how to pronounce Ange Postecoglou.

5:31...

Arsenal left it late while Tottenham slowly ground down whatever team showed up at Villa Park to play them.  Dare we say it looks like there are two pretty dang good teams that call North London home?  For this week at least.

First, Cal details Arsenal's thrilling late win at the Emirates against a Brentford side that showed up to do everything but play football.  Aaron Ramsdale's mistake meant that Kai Havertz w...

Rinse - Tottenham have two weeks off to rinse the stench of their performance from the 1-2 loss to Wolves over the weekend.  Rick is on hand to review the game and discuss the reason for the result, as well as Spurs poor run of form.  You will hear his analysis of why Tottenham lost this match, his concern that his club has started slipping into some old, bad habits, what those habits are, and how Postecoglou can fix them.

Sure, Spurs fans would love to have another extra time win and, wait . . . I think Arsenal just scored another goal!  It was a great week for Spurs and Gunner fans as both teams did exactly what they needed to in order to keep their hopes for this season alive.

First it was Spurs scoring a stoppage time goal to finally overcome a bright Brighton.  Rick is up first to discuss how they were able to play through their mistake...

Yes it's the 80th Episode of the Arsenal Tottenham Fan Podcast and, while Rick and Cal had some epic celebrations planned:  confetti, prizes for our listeners, and even pictures of a photographer, they learned that, regardless of the occasion, the Premier League media think celebrations (at least by Arsenal) are not cool.  So this episode will pass into history, just like the previous 79.

But this is not just any epis...

That's right, we're back!  While snow, sleet, and dark of night may not detour your postman; sickness, technical issues, and travel (not to mention three Arsenal losses) can interrupt the Arsenal Tottenham Fan Podcast.  However, we are now well, technically savvy, home, and Arsenal have won two in a row . . . so we're back and better than ever!

And yes, Cal, ever the optimist still feels Arsenal are in the t...

The WiFi on the Outer Banks of North Carolina let us down last week, much like the finishing of Arsenal's attackers on Saturday.  Yet, we've persevered to deliver another podcast about Arsenal and Tottenham . . . just what the world needs!  On this episode Cal mentions Arsenal's shocking win over Luton in terms of how it compared to Liverpool's and Man City's visits there and in terms of it's impact on...

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 al...

For the first time this season Arsenal find themselves top of the table, and, while Tottenham suffered their third straight defeat, they are still in fifth and only four points off Arsenal.  We predicted the top of the table was going to be tight this season, but when four points separate first and fifth, it's squeaky tight!

Has Arsenal found it's keeper?  Or have they lost a keeper?  Saturday's win over Bre...

Match week 11 was so action packed that we have divided our normal weekly episode into two:  one for Arsenal that discusses the Arsenal v Newcastle Game and the other to cover the Tottenham v Chelsea Game.  This is the Tottenham episode.

So much to talk about and so little time . . . unless there is a VAR review of course.  How did Spurs win a match where they were outscored 4-1?  Well, you'll have to ask Rick because...

So much happened this weekend in the Premier League that Rick and I are dividing our weekly episode into two:  one that focuses on the Arsenal v Newcastle Game and one that focused on the Tottenham v Chelsea Game.  This is the Arsenal Podcast.

On it we cover all the action from the slugfest (literally) that was the Arsenal Newcastle Game at St James Park.  First, Cal discusses the West Ham match and how it might have infor...

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 s...

This weekend saw both Tottenham and Arsenal move on up into the Premier League's catbird seat, penthouse apartment, top o' the table! They are there with the exact same record and they got there with 1 - nil wins, but that is where the similarities end.  Spurs defeated Championship League side masquerading as Premier League team Luton Town with one man tied behind their back while Arsenal finally conquered their demon, pe...

Another match week in the Premier League, another PGMOL controversy (#content).  Rick and Cal are here to discuss all the action from Arsenal's two victory week, @Brentford and @Bournemouth, and, of course offer our takes on the Shitshow that happened at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.  

The week started with Arsenal's 1-0 victory over a strong Brentford side in West London as a part of the Carabou Cup.  There were a ...

Well, that wasn't very satisfying.  Sure, there were some great moments, some not so great moments, and some edge of your seat action, but all in all, a draw, while fair, is a lot like kissing a relative.  Rick and Cal are here to resume their unlove fest as they review the key moments in the latest edition of the North London Derby.  Tune in to hear what each thought of the result, an analysis of the key moments, the turning ...

The unknown:  some chase headlong into it, some fear it, some avoid it at all costs, and yet it's exciting for everyone.  And that is what Ange Postecoglou's appointment as manager of Tottenham has done for this edition of the North London Derby.  

However, before Rick and Cal get into the preview, they first must discuss Spurs', dare we say, "delayed" victory over Sheffield United.  Next up is a f...

Rick is back from his luxury vacation to his hometown of London!  Tune in to be regaled with stories of his meeting Richarlison and his visit to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for the match against Manchester United.  You will also hear his take on Spurs' transfer activity and if Tottenham would be better now with or without Harry Kane.  Rick also discusses Spurs thrashing of not Sean Dyche's Burnley and what that means for th...

The Premier League Season is now officially underway!!!  So that means it's time to overanalyze the results!  But first, Cal and Rick have to discuss the latest transfer activity for their respective teams. 

Up first is Cal to discuss Arsenal's acquisition of Goalkeeper David Raya.  Next, our intrepid podcasters get into the analyzation of Arsenal's 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest.  There is a lot to unpa...

A new season is right around the corner so Cal and Rick are back and in midseason podcasting form!  This episode is the Tottenham Season Preview.  Rick discusses Tottenham's preseason friendlies and discusses how different the team looks from the last few years.  What can Spurs fans expect from each position this season?  Who starts?  Who rotates in?  And will Harry Kane line up for Tottenham or Bayern in the first match this ...
