Summary
In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie dissect Arsenal’s topsy turvy 4-3 win over West Ham on Sunday, they talk about the slow start and West Ham springing a tactical surprise and Arsenal feeling the effects of the international break. Then they talk about the impact of the second half substitutes, Chloe Kelly’s full debut, how Arsenal became more direct on a tough pitch in the second half and Beth Mead’s goal line heroics in the final seconds. In the second half there are questions about the WSL vote on halting relegation, the Arsenal midfield, the defence and whether the squad lacks power and speed.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Arsenal Women Askcast on AskBlog.com with me, Tim Stillman, looking back at Sunday evenings, 4-3 thriller against West Ham United |
| 0:23.7 | at Meadow Park. And sometimes when you look ahead to doing this podcast, frankly, there are |
| 0:28.1 | some episodes where you think, oh, I hope the question's good, because maybe the first half |
| 0:33.7 | will be quite difficult to discuss the game. And then there are some games where you think, |
| 0:38.4 | how are we going to cram all this in? And this is very much firmly in the latter category, |
| 0:42.5 | a bit like the Manchester City game, I guess, of a few weeks ago, which Arsenal also won four |
| 0:47.2 | three. And here, as ever, to try to pass that madness with me is Jamie Spanger. Jamie, how are you doing? Hey, Tim. Yeah, not too bad. |
| 0:56.7 | Nice, nice, bright Monday morning. I feel like winter's coming to an end. So that's always good. |
| 1:01.8 | In terms of the Arsenal department, Jesus, my blood pressure is still dropping from yesterday. |
| 1:06.8 | How did you, because you watched at home on this occasion because of transport issues, |
| 1:11.8 | which also meant I didn't get home until very late. |
| 1:14.9 | Like, I mean, because there were a lot of things that happened where I was a bit like, |
| 1:19.0 | I'd really like to see a replay of that. |
| 1:21.3 | I can't see one. |
| 1:22.9 | So what was, and I could say, just to my right, Emma Byrne was on commentary, I think, was Vicky Sparks. |
| 1:29.9 | I can't remember. |
| 1:31.2 | But yeah, and I could kind of hear them getting very excited. |
| 1:35.2 | What was it like kind of watching it on TV? |
| 1:38.0 | Yeah, well, thank you to Thameslink for that one, because can I be honest, two nil down, |
| 1:42.1 | I thought, ah, it's a good day for there to be trained, right? So I'm glad I'm not there. But yeah, it ended up missing an absolute |
| 1:48.1 | thriller. But as you said, Tim, it's always good to like be watching on a television, |
